Barrier of Light

Grand Duke Zhenyue left.

Zhuxue pulled Lin Lin aside.

"Do you know how much trouble you got me into with what you just said?"

The content of this sentence seems serious.

But Lin Ci's tone of voice was not so serious.

"trouble?"

Lin Lin laughed and said lightly: "Due to your status, there are some things you can't say, so I said it for you. No need to thank me."

"Meng Xiao is Meng Xizhou's brother. You just spoke deliberately to push the marriage contract further." Zhuxue narrowed his eyes: "Do you really not want to marry the Goddess of Light?"

"You can't force things like feelings." Lin Lin smiled and said: "I am willing to dedicate my life to Beizhou and the border. If marriage is part of the dedication, then I will not hesitate... So about your previous engagement. , I did not directly stand up to oppose, what if the goddess of light is a proletarian devotee like me? I can only feel aggrieved. But now it seems that she is different from me, she has her ideal pursuit , I also have mine, the Lin family has thousands of ways to cooperate with Guangming City, why do they have to choose the most traditional one?"

"..."

These words made Lin Silk fall into silence.

After a moment, he said seriously: "Lin Lin, this time is different. Your marriage with Meng Xizhou is really important. You will be the strongest alliance in the past century."

Among the royal children of Central City, there are often young talents.

But it is really difficult for someone who has grown up to the level of Lin Lin, a rarity among the rare ones, to become a brigadier general of the Beizhou border through high-level public elections under the age of thirty... The most important thing is that Lin Lin's The file is more legendary and mysterious than CN021. No one knows yet that he is the Queen's biological brother. He gave up all pleasures, was willing to go to the border to guard, and made great achievements.

If this file is made public.

So soon... Lin Lin will have a large number of "supporters". As long as he can become a banned player, he will be more likely to become the next general than Osmond.

This is also the reason why Lin Silu has been sending sentries from Central City to invite Lin Lin back to the capital in recent years.

In Zhuxue's view, the most important thing for Lin Lin was not to defend the fort.

It is true that that is the most dangerous area on the main flank of the Beizhou border, but now there are many extraordinary people in the legion who can command the troops and resist the wind and snow... Gubao can easily be replaced by another defender.

The top priority is to return to Central City and improve your level!

Lin Lin has done enough in the border areas in recent years!

"It's useless to say more... I know you, and it's useless to say more."

Grand Duke Zhuxue looked at Lin Lin's indifferent face, sighed softly, and said: "I know what you came back for this time. Take some time and go see your sister."

…

…

Everyone left.

But Gu Shen didn't leave. He was waiting for Lin Lin on the rooftop.

Recalling the previous scene of Meng Xiao leaving, Gu Shen really felt like laughing. The Grand Duke Zhenyue was angry and embarrassed when he left... because the words Lin Lin left behind made him lose a lot of face. , it’s not a response, and it’s not a failure to respond, I can only leave the meeting angrily.

It is hard to imagine that a normally dignified and serious guy like Lin Lin would use obscene words like shit and piss while eating.

Is this guy really "royal"?

We have long heard that Meng Xiao is very ruthless in the fiefdom, but today it seems... there are some things that cannot be done in Central City.

In one sentence, Grand Duke Zhenyue was speechless.

It is truly a famous scene worth remembering.

However, it is worth pondering that when Meng Xiao left the table at the end, was he afraid of Lin Lin or Zhu Xue?

Or...is it something hidden deeper?

The broken snow on the rooftop was blown up by the wind. Lin Lin pushed the door open and looked unhappy. [Deep Sea] automatically drove the airship to the edge of the top floor of the huge building and slowly lowered the vertical ladder.

Gu Shen was in a good mood and asked with a smile: "Tsk, tsk, is this because you were scolded for what happened just now?"

"No, you think too highly of Meng Xiao. His matter is nothing. What just happened is over. He doesn't even have the right to take up one more second of my life." Lin Lin said lightly, "Get on the boat."

…

…

Because of the existence of the "melting pot", Beizhou has solved the biggest energy problem and also solved the severe cold problem of the harsh climate. With the development of technology, the mainstream transportation in Central City has also undergone corresponding changes.

Today, there are many small private airships parked in this giant city.

Even the smallest model of a "military energy boat" like Lin Lin is far superior in size and performance to these small boats.

In the night, the shadowy outlines of small private boats with extinguished fires could be vaguely seen, like symbols of silence. The palms of [Deep Sea] were suspended above the ceiling, as if they were pressed on a closed piano.

Gu Shen sat by the window and looked at this scene.

The light of the long night spills over the dome, and the neon lights of the suspended giant buildings give this night scene a three-point unreal feeling. The balance of the [Deep Sea] is really successful, and the people living on different continents are completely different. Understanding the technology and people's livelihood situation on another continent, all of this is as beautiful as a false dream, and [Deep Sea] is the big hand that covers every dream.

"Did you know that there are now more than 6,000 'small boats' in Central City?"

Lin Lin said softly: "In Beizhou, small boats are not affordable for ordinary people. They need to pass the 'deep sea' simulation test and obtain the 'Energy Boat Driving Qualification Certificate.' In addition, a small boat The minimum price of a boat is in the seven figures, including parking fee, fuel fee, insurance fee, plus purchase tax... Only a very small number of 'rich' can afford this thing."

Gu Shen was in a daze after hearing this.

Money... these worldly things have long lost their meaning to him.

After becoming a transcendent, he no longer pursues these things, but he still has the basic concept of money.

"There are six thousand small boats in Central City?" Gu Shen looked a little surprised.

He looked at the shadows moored in the dark night, and it was difficult to connect the small boats with the piano keys... There were millions of boats in one boat, and these rows and rows were all symbols of identity and status.

"To be precise, six thousand three hundred and twenty-four." Chu Ling reported the results of the battle seriously in Gu Shen's mind at this moment: "I have just connected to the grassroots network of Beizhou [Deep Water Zone]. Central City has sent these small boats to The permission management is all there. Theoretically, I can hack into the private network of any private small boat. Do you want to give it a try?"

It is worthy of the [source code]... Even though [Deep Sea] has been upgrading itself over the years and constantly changing codes, as long as the logic of the grassroots network does not change, then Chu Ling will always have his own space.

"You can give it a try if you have the chance." Gu Shen responded in his heart.

"The more interesting thing is later. As far as I know, there are only a few hundred owners of these more than 6,000 energy boats." Lin Lin said calmly: "Those who can afford this thing...either The corporate giants of Transcontinental Company are either special extraordinary people who work closely with Beizhou. Most of the wealth in the world is in the hands of a very small number of people."

"The accurate number is: nine hundred and thirty-one." Chu Ling reminded again: "It is worth mentioning that Lu Nanzhi of Huazhi Group alone has thirty-five private energy boats under his name."

Gu Shen: "..."

Huazhi is the world's top transcontinental company. It has single-handedly supported the economy of the metropolitan area and is still developing at a high speed. Putting aside the private research project of the Awakening Act, it also has extremely strong strength. In Lunan Gardenia Under Zhao Xilai's management over the years, this can already be said to be a well-deserved "oligarch company".

"The 'oligarchs' from the five continents like to come to Beizhou, especially Central Continent. Most of the suspended buildings here come from Central Continent."

Lin Lin said slowly: "The corporate tax rate here is low and the labor force is cheap. Due to years of war, the level of science and technology is uneven. The military technology is advanced but the people's livelihood technology is backward, so the royal family will give certain policy preferences to outsiders... In addition, In addition, the burning of the 'furnace' required them to share the pressure. They built a series of suspended buildings here, providing a large number of jobs, so there is now a prosperous 'Central City'. But all this prosperity is in Beizhou. It seems false in the eyes of the higher-ups. Beizhou is burning for the whole world, but its people are not getting too much heat."

Some things are too real.

The truth makes people silent.

Gu Shen didn't know what to say for a moment.

"It's like...a frontier, a fortress."

Lin Lin was driving the airship. This time he did not use autopilot, but operated it himself. "I remember deeply what you said at the giant wall last time. Everything in the world will eventually die, not just humans. The storm will dissipate. The sea water will dry up, so one day, the furnace under the Central City will also go out... At that time, I don't want Beizhou to be burned to charcoal, and nothing will cease to exist, leaving only suspended buildings and being embezzled. The empty body of a sincere soul."

The shadows of those small boats were no longer visible in the distance.

But one could vaguely see military energy boats hovering higher and deeper in the clouds.

"Lin Lin is driving to the Queen's residence."

Chu Ling's tone was serious and he reminded: "This is a dangerous behavior... It is expected to be intercepted in five seconds..."

"Five, four..."

"Three, two, one."

During these five short seconds, Gu Shen followed his intuition and did not speak or stop the airship. He quietly looked out the window, watching the clouds roaring past, and there were bright lights flashing, which were arrays on the dome. The [Celestial Eye] came to capture the image of the visitor.

But this time, Chu Ling's warning failed.

No warning, no interception.

Nothing at all.

It was a quiet and beautiful night, and Lin Lin's energy boat sailed into the airspace of the Queen's Manor without any hindrance.

Gu Shen looked out the window in silence.

He seemed to see someone saluting at the sentry post not far away.

Gu Shen was in a very complicated mood at this moment.

I still underestimated Lin Lin.

Who would have thought that this guy could drive an airship directly into a place like this?

Lin Lin gave Gu Shen a few seconds to react, and then said in the calmest tone: "Hey, stop looking, we've arrived at our destination... get off the boat."

…

…

Sentinels lined up in the manor, standing respectfully.

No one would have thought that there would be such a guest tonight... no, two.

Gu Shen, Lin Lin...

Or to be more precise, three?

Next to Lin Lin, the Labrador dog, which had been airsick and lackluster, finally got better at this moment. It stuck out its tongue and looked at the group of sentries with an excited smile, because it found that there were several Familiar faces…

The sentinels who were taking a break after the ceremony looked nervous, and some of them were particularly nervous, with their faces turning pale.

They really couldn't forget the nightmare they encountered when they were sent by Archduke Zhuxue to the Gubao Fortress to perform a mission. After a few years, the vicious dog seemed to have grown taller, stronger and more perverted.

But tonight's guests don't seem to have too many plans.

Lin Lin and Gu Shen entered the manor directly and walked all the way towards Her Majesty the Queen's residence. They had already received the order and were allowed to go without any obstruction.

Gu Shen had once seen the temples built by fanatical believers in Xiyin City in Nanzhou with their hard work and gold and silver. It was a "faith" poured out with everything they had, and it was a sacred building that could not be desecrated.

The Queen's Manor at this moment is even more majestic, more magnificent, and even more shocking.

Six hundred years ago, the first emperor of Beizhou built this manor here. Since then, the throne has changed hands and the crown has changed, but this manor has never changed... It is a symbol of Beizhou imperial power and a symbol of six hundred years of history. faithful witness.

Oil paintings one after another.

Long corridors.

Both Gu Shen and Chu Ling remained silent. This was the highest respect for this "Holy Land of Beizhou". Even the [source code] could not find the specific information of this manor, and those who were qualified to visit here could not find it. Everyone is a distinguished guest invited by the Queen.

This is something that many Beizhou people are proud of throughout their lives.

But Lin Lin... just came in.

Take a leisurely stroll.

Lin Lin led Gu Shen to an old castle. He stopped and slowly turned around. Looking at Gu Shen who had not said a word along the way, he slowly said: "You said more than once before... you were curious about me. identity."

He said softly: "And I have always said that my identity is not important, but actually I cannot say that... To me, this identity is not important, and it is far less important than the garrison of the Fort. But in Zhuxue, and others According to some insiders, this identity is more important than the defender of the fort."

The gate of the Queen's Castle slowly opened.

Azur, and a purple-haired woman wearing a survey corps cloak, stood under the light behind the castle door.

"I am the one who flows the blood of the Central City Emperor, the leader of the Beizhou Furnace, and the watchman who dedicated his heart to this land when he was born..."

Lin Lin no longer hides his identity: "I am... the younger brother of the Queen of Beizhou."
