Barrier of Light

"The task of restarting the Dolu River disaster is the largest operation currently planned by Beizhou."

"So those who can enter this mission are all elite!"

"Taking into account the losses of the previous crusade mission... After the team list is established this time, special training will be concentrated for a period of time. During this period, the captain can select team members. This is the 'detachment'."

"Theoretically, the 'detachment' is a free matter, but because these exempted people are all powerful people with status in Beizhou... So in fact, this time's 'detachment', there are many extraordinary people who have been advanced. Selected."

When Azhaer said this, he paused deliberately.

She explained: "Take the Zhong Yuan you know as an example. Before entering the building, he had already booked 'Yuan Yuan' as his deputy and joined his team... Due to Yuan Yuan's strength and qualifications, he It fits the requirements perfectly for the restart mission, so it’s almost a done deal.”

Gu Shen nodded.

Whether it's Lu Zhe or Zhong Yuan... among the captains who can enter this building, which one doesn't have an old subordinate who can cooperate easily?

This mission, recruiting these top geniuses, must meet their requirements.

"so……"

Gu Shen tapped his fingertips on the table and asked thoughtfully: "Does every person here who is exempted from the exam have a designated candidate?"

"Yes, not quite."

A'zhaer thought for a while and said: "S-class Mu Wanqiu from the first team of the Survey Corps is bound to Lu Zhe for action. The two of them who are exempted from the test will join the same team. They have no special requirements for other team members. They just wait for The final list is finalized and then divided into teams.”

"Azha'er," Gu Shen said with a smile, "you know who I want to ask..."

"Mr. Xiao Gu wants to ask... Grand Duke Zhenyue?"

A'zha'er said with a headache: "He has also appointed a few extraordinary beings...but didn't we agree not to cause trouble for him before?"

"Give me the information on these extraordinary beings."

"I will do what I promised you, but there is a prerequisite... I will not offend others unless they offend me."

Gu Shen's tone dropped at first, and then he said with a smile: "You should know better than anyone else that I participated in this restart mission just because I reached an agreement with the Queen... I don't care about the opinions of the generals of Beizhou at all, I just The public opinion trend has reached this point, and I think someone seems to have done it deliberately. If in a few days, some guy tries to take advantage of the pressure and provoke first, I can't just wait to be beaten, right?"

"..."

Azhaer let out a long sigh.

"I will send you the official list of Grand Duke Zhenyue." She said helplessly: "Next, I will go to his place and give him stern instructions so as not to cause trouble for you."

Gu Shen smiled and bowed.

After Azhaer retreated, the smile in Gu Shen's eyes slowly disappeared. He stared at himself reflected in the floor-to-ceiling window not far away and asked softly.

"Is this matter that simple?"

Although the room was empty at the moment and no one was around, the words just sounded like someone talking to himself.

But Chu Ling knew that he was telling this for himself.

She said frankly: "The probability that Azha'er can stop Zhenyue is very low... I suggest you make preparations in advance to avoid falling into a passive position."

"Of course, I know this." Gu Shen smiled softly, "I'm not a fool. I won't wait for Meng Xiao to take action and then think about how to fight back. What I'm curious about is not this matter... but what happened even longer ago. .”

"Longer ago?"

"Meng Xiao is targeting me just because my surname is Gu?" Gu Shen rubbed the pendant on his chest with his fingers, and his tone became cold unconsciously: "There are too many people with the surname Gu in the world... Even if he can't beat Gu Nanfeng , there are other Gu family members to be found in the four regions of Beizhou, but they want to cause trouble for me, why is this?"

With Grand Duke Zhenyue’s intelligence network, how could he not know?

I have no "blood relationship" with the Nagano Gu family, they just happen to have the same surname as Gu!

The protection of the goddess of fate fell into absolute emptiness at this moment.

The cross pendant exudes a faint fluorescence.

It can only provide guidance between "life and death", and most of the questions in this world cannot be answered from here.

Gu Shen shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

…

…

Azhaer stood in front of Zhenyue Grand Duke's gate.

Before she even raised her hand to ring the bell, the door opened on its own.

"Lord Apostle, please come in."

A lazy and idle voice sounded.

Azhaer just took a slight step forward and then stopped. She did not look inside the room, because Meng Xiao was naked and soaking in the bathtub in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The curtains were opened, and large swaths of sunlight were pouring down. This man Although Grand Duke Zhenyue holds many important fortresses in Beizhou, he is from Guangming City after all, which is completely different from the simple and hard work that flows in the bones of Beizhou's famous generals——

Azhaer has heard more than once that he is an alternative who loves to enjoy and is extremely luxurious.

certainly.

He is qualified and capable of doing so.

"I know why you came..." Meng Xiao closed his eyes, and the sunlight fell, sparkling in the bathtub. The scars on his body also exuded a similar glow, and for a moment there was an aura of sacred majesty, filling it. In the attic.

"It must be out of caution, right?"

Meng Xiao smiled, picked up a tall wine glass and shook it gently.

Azhaer looked solemn.

As an apostle of the Queen, she is naturally extremely sensitive to the power of other divine thrones.

Meng Xiao exudes the aura of the "Throne of Light"!

Is this a demonstration?

"Don't get me wrong... I have no hostility. It's just that the 'spiritual glow' that fills the room can't be released as much as you want, or taken back as much as you want. This is my way of cultivation, and it's always been this way. It's just an unlucky time for you to come. ." Meng Xiao noticed the change in Azha'er's expression and said leisurely: "Master Azha'er must be understanding... After all, I am not a prophet, nor do I have clairvoyance. How did I know that you would choose this time to visit? Woolen cloth?"

Azhaer calmed down.

She said seriously: "Grand Duke Zhenyue, your Majesty has heard about the conflicts and disputes between you and Gu Shen..."

"oh?"

Meng Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

He focused his eyes on the wine glass and asked softly: "So, is it His Majesty's intention that you come today? Your Majesty hopes that Gu Shen and I will not quarrel, but smile at each other and put the past things behind us?"

"..."

Azhar was silent for a while.

"I am here today, so I cannot represent His Majesty." She said frankly: "I don't know what the conflict is between you and Mr. Xiao Gu... But, why not stop here?"

"So you're just representing yourself..."

Meng Xiao's smile slowly disappeared.

He raised his head, stared at Azhaer, and his voice became increasingly cold: "In Guangming City, apostles like you will be expelled... You know, don't do things for the master without authorization."

"Mr. Meng, you have to be clear..."

Azhaer was no longer polite and said quietly: "This is Beizhou."

She released the Queen's divine power, and the temperature of the entire room suddenly dropped...

Inside the bathtub, the sparkling water began to freeze.

It's just that these ice chips only spread to Meng Xiao's chest and began to melt, because another "fiery power" also began to be released outwards, and the scars engraved on Meng Xiao's chest, shoulders, arms, and all over his body , turned into golden swimming fish.

A large amount of steam surged out.

Meng Xiao said calmly: "Of course I know, have you forgotten my identity? I'm from Beizhou..."

Every word he spoke, his voice was like a divine command, spreading and reverberating!

"Grand Duke Zhenyue!"

These blazing lights collided with the fog.

The huge room was filled with boiling steam in an instant... At both ends of the room, half was hot and half was freezing cold.

Azhaer didn't move at all.

She pressed one hand on the door and crushed the door frame with her fingers.

In an instant, her pupils turned into a snow-white color.

A barrier was vaguely formed between the surging divine power of the two divine thrones... The two divine powers did not really release hostility, but offset it. When the point was reached, Meng Xiao and Azhaer stopped their hands at the same time. Under control, the source matter and divine power in the room formed a delicate balance.

If the fight continues... the noise will become louder.

This building is full of strong people, and the slightest leak of Qi will attract immediate attention.

"Are you crazy? You dare to attack me?"

Meng Xiao smiled very gently, but what he said was very sinister: "When I see your Majesty, I will tell you the truth."

"No need to bother."

Azhaer said coldly: "I am His Majesty's eyes... She can see clearly what is happening here. Now I am the 'messenger' who carries out His Majesty's will."

Meng Xiao still had that lazy and leisurely look on his face.

He stared behind the steam mist, trying to see the spiritual manifestation of the great will behind Azhaer...

Unfortunately.

There was nothing behind Azha'er.

Of course, the Queen will not "go to God" just because of such a trivial matter.

A'zhaer said expressionlessly: "Meng Xiao, let me remind you once again that Gu Shen is an honored guest from Beizhou... If you insist on going your own way and still provoke, you will have to bear the consequences."

"What a useless warning."

Grand Duke Zhenyue shook his head and said with a smile, "Are you done?"

Azhar was silent.

He lay in the warm bathtub, stretched out his body, and lazily said: "Now that I've finished speaking, please do as you please. In my capacity, I open the door for you out of consideration for His Majesty's face... My relationship with Gu Shen If His Majesty didn't speak out about this matter himself, why do you think you are qualified to intervene?"

Azhaer looked at Meng Xiao coldly.

This person relied on his status as a grand duke to speak rudely to her. If it had not been normal, she would have slapped him away.

But my intuition told me.

Meng Xiao seemed arrogant, and every move he made had deep meaning. Perhaps he was provoking himself like this because he was waiting for him to take action.

After calming down, she decided to ignore it.

"..."

After waiting for a moment, without waiting for a response, Meng Xiao smiled softly.

He touched his wrist, and there was a circle of blazing light there, submerged by the aura of light, and it looked like a bracelet.

"Master Azhaer is really calm."

Meng Xiao said quietly: "If you have nothing to say, then please go ahead and remember to close my door!"
