Him and their stars

Although he was smiling, he looked like a simple and honest uncle next door. The burning evil spirit was whistling towards his face like a strong wind. Obviously in his senses, he couldn't even feel the sound of air flowing around him, but he felt a burning pain on his face, as if he had been cut by a knife.

"It's just you and me here now, Colonel. This may be the mercy of the spirit of the universe, don't you think so?"

His meaning is still very clear. Although Yu Lian had faced Duke Sadolan and indeed had a pleasant chat with the great emperor, it was in public after all. No matter how much the empire bosses try to cut this scourge that has taken off the Knights into pieces, they must still show basic diplomatic etiquette and decency in front of the public.

However, it is indeed different here. This is the underground ruins of the Coordination Factory. It’s dark and windy, and there’s no one around.

Even if Yu Lian really died here, the empire could completely evade the fact that he died in an unpredictable virtual disaster. This was one of the natural disasters. These days, even the business contracts of alliance profiteers will state "natural disaster exemption".

The nightmare of the Astral Knights, the greatest disaster of the empire in the past half century, and the star of hope for the people of Earth, died in this empty wilderness without anyone witnessing it. Isn't this also an evolution of fate?

Of course, it would not be correct to say that there were no witnesses at all. At least there was a large group of Void Realm ghosts and Yaxu beasts moaning around them. However, if Count Seliora hacked Yu Lian to death, wouldn't these virtual monsters be perfect tools to destroy the corpse and eliminate traces?

The plan goes through!

Yu Lian seemed to see this meaning in the other person's eyes, and couldn't help but grinned.

"Your Excellency, you are a good man and would not do this."

The earl was slightly startled, and there was a hint of ferocity in his smile: "Colonel, if you want to ask me to let you go, such flattery is not sincere."

"No, I am clearly mocking you." Yu Lian shook his head and smiled, and when the other party showed a stunned expression, he added: "Yes, you are indeed a good person. I have indeed heard of your noble martial name. Of course, nobility never means pedantry or stupidity. If it were in the past, you would certainly not let me go, the empire's most serious problem."

Does this guy actually think he is the empire’s most serious concern? Count Seliola had to admit that his interest in this person was really growing. He has actually seen a lot of arrogant and arrogant guys, but this is the first time he has seen someone flaunting himself in this direction.

"But now, aren't you still in charge of a large psychic array? Can you really maintain such a high-intensity operation and start a war with me at the same time?"

Count Seliola's eyes shrank slightly, and he looked at Yu Lian more carefully.

Of course he wanted to ask Yu Lian how he could tell, but he also knew that he really had to ask. The momentum must be released.

Of course, Yu Lian was not prepared to tell the other party that since he mastered the "Silver Dragon's Breath" across time and space from the enlightened lady, his mental power and perception have been strengthening almost every day. Probably, only a stronger spirit can match the power of the fantasy dragon in the myth of the Enlightened One.

He now knows that Silver Dragon Breath is not just a spiritual attack skill, but a set of spiritual practice concepts. This naturally includes offensive and defensive combat skills, and of course, also includes the perception and emotional capture of other people's spiritual world.

Of course, this is far from being able to read minds. After all, the human heart is the most complex thing in the world. However, the subtle emotions of the psyker will directly affect the psychic power. He can completely use this information to capture the opponent's spiritual energy flow, thereby seizing a certain advantage in the battle.

What Yu Lian sensed through the silver dragon's breath was that, in addition to the murderous intent that Count Seliola did not deliberately hide, he could also feel a subtle flow of spiritual energy, flowing into the distance like a hidden ditch underground.

A psyker of the "Throne" star ring, this kind of remote control is probably only using his mind to control a large array. Otherwise, you wouldn't be playing with puppets, right?

After all, Count Seliora is a seven-ringed boss. During most of the low ebb of psychic powers in history, he was already able to dominate the universe and be invincible. Of course, his subtle control over psychic powers has also reached the realm of transformation. Yu Lian believed that if he really took action, he would not be able to find out the clues so easily.

But now, since he was performing such a high-powered method of remote formation, he deserved to be discovered by himself.

Yu Lian watched with satisfaction as the other party restrained his smile, and then said: "Moreover, you came here this time to eliminate the abnormality here, right? It's just a waste of too much time on me, but if we The battle has triggered some other disharmonious trap. You can think clearly, but what should the tens of millions of citizens on this planet do?"

Count Seliora was silent for a moment, and said expressionlessly: "Tens of millions of citizens, and the most serious threat to an empire? Which one is more important?"

"Didn't you already make a choice when you were willing to ask this question? At your level, if you really violate the moral principles in your heart, you will no longer be able to go on the extraordinary road." Yu Lian squeezed out a A very warm business smile: "So, Sir, let's cooperate."

After Count Seliola was silent for half a second, he still nodded expressionlessly: "Okay."

Yu Lian sighed: "...Why don't you worry about it for a few more minutes?"

"You are right, I also have my own inner order. The more psychic I am, the more I need to abide by this. Of course I can kill you now, and I am happy to kill you, but the possible consequences are that I will not I'm willing to see it. In this case, it's better to resolve these changes as soon as possible," the earl said.

"Are all the military nobles of the Tirero people as dashing as you? Or is it just you?"

Count Seliola glanced at Yu Lian, said nothing, and walked towards the depths of the factory. Of course the latter followed immediately.

The two of them didn't speak during the whole journey, but the count calmly observed each other and found that the young man had a flawless posture from beginning to end, and seemed not to worry about his sudden attack. You must know that with your own strength, even if you have spared most of your energy to maintain the large psychic array remotely, if you really want to bully a small one and attack a fourth ring regardless of your identity, there is no way the opponent will survive.

However, the other party trusted him so much. It was obviously the first time the two met, and they were already enemies.

Hehehehe~~~ Count Seliora laughed in his heart and made a certain determination again.

A few minutes later, the two of them were standing on the dome-shaped central building of the coordination factory.

"Have you determined that this will be the beginning of all events?" Yu Lian asked.

"At least, this must be the node of some kind of event." The count said.

Yu Lian knew that the psychic masters of the Void Spirit Temple were this godly and nagging person, but he did not expect that the first knight commander of the Galaxy Empire was also of this virtue. However, considering that the empire had too many treasures for occult exploration to remember, he could only feel relieved.

Count Seliola took Yu Lian into the empty central hall and lightly stepped on the ground with his feet. Countless halos of light appeared out of thin air and condensed into vast runes. With him as the center, they spread out to the surroundings, forming a circular psychic array that filled the space where the two of them were in an instant.

I have to say, this scene is indeed quite gorgeous. As the person involved, Count Seliora did indeed perform the master's style to the extreme.

Immediately afterwards, at the edge of the magic circle, where the white light shone, an energy group wrapped with scarlet light also appeared in mid-air out of thin air. It was as if the demons and monsters hidden in the shadows were finally invisible under the dazzling holy light.

It was a twisted collection of energy, and the light was entangled and constantly beating and flickering. It was like an ugly scar tearing open in the void, or a poisonous insect that was twisting its body crazily.

Yu Lian frowned slightly. His spiritual sense only penetrated deeply into this mass of boiling energy, and he could already smell the smell of the virtual realm.

"This is where the breath of the virtual realm penetrates. However, as far as I know, cracks in the virtual realm can only appear in areas with abundant spiritual energy. For example, those mineral veins that store zero elements, after the cruel psychic war, The battlefield. Why is it here?" the count said to himself.

Of course, it is most likely the design of Count Salvin. Although I don’t know what his purpose is, I think he is the one who did this kind of thing.

"In short, the mechanism that induced this crack in the virtual world should be elsewhere on this planet, but we can find it slowly. Now, we still need to close the crack first." Count Seliola looked meaningfully Yu Lian glanced at him. The latter opened his big eyes innocently, indicating that he was listening attentively, but he really didn't understand anything else.

I really don't know! I am doing some archaeological research here. Although everything that happens here is most likely related to Count Salvin, the number one old rebel in the empire who has been dead for two hundred years and has not stopped, it is also related to me, an occasional person. What does it matter to passing military observers?

Oh, by the way, I don’t know what’s going on with Feifei and Yani.

However, our archaeological work also dragged Miss Suliuka Wang into it. Even if something really happened, some people would support it.

The earl did not ask further questions, and snorted coldly: "However, as long as you fill in this place, it should be solved." He moved his wrist again, and the white light in the circular formation under his feet had already caused a transparent wave in the air. The ripples surged toward the ferocious cracks in the void like water waves.

In an instant, the competition between Holy White and Scarlet began.

"...Is this a world puzzle?" Yu Lian looked at this spectacular and gorgeous scene and murmured a sigh.

The earl glanced at Yu Lian, a little surprised: "You also know? Oh, yes, you are now a member of the Spiritual Research Society. You should have learned it from Mr. Lan and the others, right? The world puzzle can mend the cracks and maintain the relationship. High-end psychic techniques to balance the main universe and the virtual realm. However, in this field, Mr. Lan is the top master in the entire galaxy. If he were here, he should have been able to solve it long ago."

If he were here, maybe his old enemy, Duke Junsadolan, would appear with a lively voice as if he were fifty years younger. So, is this remote planet a little too crowded with psykers?

"But are you really okay?" Yu Liandao said: "This is equivalent to operating two large psychic arrays at the same time!"

Yu Lian was indeed a little stunned. Even when he was the "Star Traveler" of the Seven Rings in his previous life, he couldn't reach this level.

Of course, the star ring in his previous life was "cruising", leaning towards the hooded stealth style. Compared with the "throne" star ring, which has deepened various range skills and field operations, it is indeed far behind in array operation.

Therefore, the Knight Commander, who is now the "Lord of Strife" in the seventh ring of "Throne", still looked at Yu Lian expressionlessly, as if he thought the latter was talking nonsense.

Well, you really shouldn’t underestimate this kind of big guy who will be in the history books in the future. Since people can be so supportive, they naturally do all kinds of things that go against common sense.

"Colonel, you have to do three things. First, when I operate the world puzzle, protect me and stop all dangerous factors that want to interrupt my operation. Second, during the operation of the array, there are The total amount of psychic energy is not smooth. When it needs to be replenished, lend a helping hand. Third... after the gap is fifty percent repaired, I need you to go through the crack and draw an auxiliary formation on the other side of the virtual realm. Work with me."

The first two are fine and have the proper meaning. But this last one, to put it bluntly, isn't it just to let him enter the virtual realm?

Yu Lian did know that Count Seliora was still only a seventh-link person after all, and if he wanted to successfully operate the "World Jigsaw", this process was indeed very possible.

However, let alone the danger of the virtual realm, the key point is that the relationship between the two is quite subtle now, far from the point where they can have unlimited trust.

When Yu Lian's work on the other side of the rift is completed, Count Seliola can close the rift and completely trap him, "the empire's most serious trouble", in the virtual realm.

The count looked at Yu Lian, waiting for the latter's answer.

He originally thought that he would have to wait for a while and even see the other party's hesitation and struggle. He was even mentally prepared for Yu Lian's rejection. However, the other party only thought for less than a second and nodded frankly: "Okay!"

At this moment, the count himself felt a little at a loss, and said expressionlessly: "I can also wait for backup. There are more than two hundred outstanding astral knights on the ground."

"You don't have much time." Yu Lian smiled.

Did this kid notice something again?

The count sighed silently, and there seemed to be a wry smile on his face: "I suddenly feel that even if it means sacrificing tens of millions of people on this Sarna planet, it is still worth it to keep you here."

"Don't make such horrible jokes at this time." Yu Lian said helplessly.

"I have never been in the habit of joking. Colonel. However, the truth I have always believed in tells me that sacrificing the life in front of me for an illusory possible crisis is no different from the devil. I can't convince myself to do this. thing."

Throughout the history of the empire, this kind of thing has been done.

Yu Lian looked at the empire boss who had always been known as a perfect example of a knight, and decided that it would be better to maintain a high emotional intelligence.

"Colonel, I do swear to you about the star position. Before this matter is over, we will be sincerely united allies. However, after this matter is over, I will do it for me in a way that is consistent with my inner order. The disciples are asking for an explanation." He once again showed a gentle and generous smile, but with a hint of evil spirit: "I said, since you have met, it is a gift from the spirit of the universe. This kind of opportunity should not be missed. .”

Yu Lian raised his eyebrows and spread his hands: "If I didn't say this, maybe I would be really worried."
