Chapter 54 The Furnace(1/2)
Queen of Beizhou...
Is there such a younger brother?
This was Gu Shen's first reaction after hearing this. Beizhou's intelligence confidentiality work was very good, so I'm afraid not many people knew about this news.
But he didn't show much surprise.
As long as you are not blind, you can see that Lin Lin's identity is extraordinary, very extraordinary... When he had a face-to-face conflict with Grand Justice Zhenyue, Gu Shen had already thought about the "Queen" in a deeper place, but he
I really didn't expect these two to have such a relationship.
Everything becomes reasonable.
What's even more interesting is...the confusing marriage of the Meng family has also become clear.
The other person involved in Meng Xizhou's regretful marriage should be Lin next to him.
…
…
The heavy door of the Queen's Castle slowly opened.
Two tall figures stood on the left and right.
"Azhaer, Aunt Wen, I'm back."
Lin Lin spoke with a smile. He looked behind the door, with a softness in his eyes.
He sent a message to Gu Shen: "The person next to Azha'er is the current commander of the Survey Corps... Wen Di, nicknamed Zi Yu, outsiders will call her Zi Yu, but we call her 'Aunt Wen'
.”
Gu Shen looked at the woman Lin Lin called "Aunt Wen".
She has a gentle and gentle oval face. It is difficult to associate this face with the fierce and decisive "Legion Commander", but at the moment, Aunt Wen is wearing a black velvet cloak, which makes her look quite domineering.
"Is this Xiao Gu?"
Aunt Wen raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "He is handsome, much better looking than those rough guys in Beizhou."
"Lord Legion Commander..."
Gu Shen smiled and said helplessly: "Are you saying I'm too thin?"
In fact, the legion commander told the truth.
Practicing the "breath of spring" can temper the spirit and body and change a person's temperament.
Coupled with the transformation of the "spectator's state of mind", Gu Shen's temperament and extraordinary awakening have undergone earth-shaking changes in the past year. He does not have the burly physique of the strong man in Beizhou, but he does not look thin.
But in Beizhou, the word "handsome" is not a compliment.
"Don't worry, this is not sarcastic."
Aunt Wen explained seriously, "You are a spiritual transcendent, so it doesn't matter if you don't look like you can fight."
Sure enough...it still looks a bit too "weak".
"Come in."
Aunt Wen reached out and hugged her, and said calmly: "You know how to choose the right time. Zhu Xue said that you won't be here until tomorrow at the earliest."
Lin Lin sneered and said: "He can't figure me out. I may have flown back to Gubao tomorrow."
"..."
The legion commander didn't say much and led the two of them into the castle hall.
Lin Lin stretched out and felt a long-lost sense of comfort at home.
The lights in the hall, the gentle breeze passing through the hall, and the moonlight falling outside the floor-to-ceiling windows all make people feel warm.
He and Zhuxue grew up here.
We kneaded mud together in the garden not far away, and fought under the fountain sculptures. This was the framework that carried the few memories of his childhood. After he became a little more sensible, he went to Gubao, and he could no longer see the splendor.
The majestic castle, the corridors covered with murals, facing the heavy snow on the border of Beizhou all day long, and the nostalgia that weighs down the branches.
Gu Shen watched all this quietly.
In his heart, for some reason... he was surprisingly peaceful.
This castle is not simple.
Even if he was immersed in the "spectator's mood", Gu Shen had never experienced this strange sense of comfort at this moment, as if surrounded by the night wind and soft music...
Unconsciously, he turned his attention to the second floor.
That is Her Majesty the Queen's residence.
At the end of the corridor on the second floor, there was a bright light that broke through the darkness, but Gu Shen's sight stopped there.
Going deeper, nothing can be seen.
bright.
Only light remains.
Gu Shen was very sure that even if he summoned the blazing fire, his eyes still couldn't penetrate the alms on the second floor... There might be more than one sealed object there, but he couldn't figure it out.
This is the residence of Her Majesty the Queen, does it need a sealed item?
The place where God lives is the safest place in the world.
Sealed object?
No matter how powerful the sealed object is, it can't compare to fire!
The legion commander sat across from the two of them. Azhaer made tea and returned, placing it on the coffee table in the hall.
Aunt Wen took a sip and spoke softly: "There is a sealed object on the second floor. For some reasons, I can only take one person up at a time, so... you just wait here."
Lin Lin stretched and nodded.
He reached out and patted Gu Shen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Drink tea here, wait for me for a while, I'll go and come back."
Having said that, he got up.
The legion commander didn't move at all, "It's not him who has to wait, it's you."
Lin Lin, who was standing halfway, looked a little embarrassed.
"Sit down. This cup of tea is specially brewed for you. I won't come back for several years. You should be content to have this cup of tea."
Aunt Wen said calmly: "When there are guests coming from afar, Your Majesty will naturally want to see them first. By the way...you should be self-aware, right? The order of meeting you should be a little later."
"..."
Lin Lin was silent for a while.
It seems that this guy's "family status" is average... Gu Shen stood up, patted Lin Lin's shoulder, and said seriously: "Drink tea here, wait for me for a while, I'll be back soon."
This sentence is somewhat familiar.
Lin Lin pretended not to hear, and acted as if nothing had happened. He served the tea silently and drank it all... At the same time, he sighed softly in his heart, thinking that it must be something between himself and Meng Xizhou that made his sister unhappy.
…
…
"You should have seen what Central City looks like."
Aunt Wen went up the stairs in front, and Gu Shen followed closely behind.
This castle was huge. After entering the second floor, several long corridors crisscrossed each other. Gu Shen finally saw the scene at the end of the light... Just as he expected, there was only light on the second floor except for the light. Perhaps it was for
To preserve historical traces, all the old-fashioned kerosene chandeliers hang here, but the strange thing is that these lamps emit an extremely stable light source.
The lamp of the kerosene chandelier has a long history and looks to be at least a hundred years old. Even if it is wiped clean and dust-free, its long life can still be seen from the rust spots.
However, there is no kerosene in the kerosene lamp at all... The dry wick is burning faintly, looking like a fountain of flames, as if it will never go out.
"Lin Lin took me for a spin over Central City. It's very..." Gu Shen thought for a moment and said, "He's tall and tall."
Huge floating buildings stand densely like a forest.
Central City is like a "burly" giant.
"Interesting adjective." Aunt Wen didn't walk very fast. She wiped it lightly with two fingers, and the flame of the kerosene lamp beside the wall immediately flickered.
This action is unusual.
Gu Shen discovered that the cause of these kerosene lamps was the spillage of "source matter".
The reason why kerosene is not used is because there is higher-level "energy" here.
"A long time ago, Central City was completely different from what it is now. It was a withered city that only had a second spring because of the 'melting pot'." Aunt Wen said slowly: "As you said, this giant city is very...
It is burly, but the bigger things require huge energy, so we cast a 'furnace' to rekindle the fire, drive away the coldness on the surface, and make this an eternally burning city that resists the four seasons."
The tundra to the north of Dongzhou is freezing cold.
But Central City is a nice "warm" place.
