Chapter 15, the country of dreams
As soon as they finished speaking, thousands of people suddenly shouted in unison outside the tower, like spring thunder rolling across the earth, which was shocking: "Please let us go!"
Everyone looked in horriff and saw that thousands of people had gathered in the square in front of the tower, including the faltering old man and yalang children. They knelt to the ground and looked up at the tower.
This is the kneeling of the strong, not to mention Okus's magic, Batilla's black witchcraft and the martial arts of the teenagers in the tower. Just the thousands of people in the square, one person throwing a stone can smash more than a dozen Xia Feng to pieces. Yan Gonghai and his warriors were timid and looked at each other with a panicked look; Kuner hesitated, and she could not ignore the lives of these good people for the benefit of the empire, especially there were so many women and children among them; Xia Feng was worried, should virtual life be respected? Ji Xuanxuan's heart softened and pulled Xia Feng's hand with tears, "Let's not take the 'Maple Fir Star'. It's not good at all."
Prince Alette, who has been silent, suddenly walked to Kunel and lowered his head guiltily: "I'm sorry, Kunel, I can't help you seize the 'Maple Star'. I'm going to withdraw from your action, please forgive me!"
Yan Gonghai knelt in front of Orcus and wiped his tears exaggeratedly: "Mage! I no longer coveted the 'Maple Star'. Please grow old, or we will be ashamed!"
Xia Feng and Kunel looked at each other and saw that she was confused. Obviously, he couldn't make up his mind. He had to sigh to Occus: "Well, let's give up, mage, get up, you can win the Oscar."
"I represent all the villagers in the dream country, thank you!" After saying that, Orcus bowed deeply, and then slowly stood up, and everyone stood up with him.
Seeing that Kunel was still a little unwilling to grit his teeth, Xia Feng couldn't help whispering in her ear: "If you dare to say that you still want to seize the 'Maple Star', don't need Ocus to do it. These people in the square can tear you to pieces. That's really 'rousing people's anger and living up to death'!"
A conflict finally disappeared, and the guests were happy, and finally they could drink freely without grudges. Orcus personally entertained Xia Feng, Kunel, Alette and Yan Gonghai in his living room. The living room is simple and tidy. The banquet is just some simple vegetables, melons and fruits, and the water wine is just rough wine made by earth, which is almost difficult to swallow. During the banquet, Orcus explained to everyone, "To eliminate the hierarchical difference between people, first of all, I can't covet aristocratic life, but be as simple as other villagers, so I can't provide guests with too luxurious banquets. Please forgive me."
"Understand!" Yan Gonghai nodded with a smile on his face, "If a saint like a mage is as greedy as us ordinary people, how can he become a great 'father' who creates a dreamland?"
"The king of the south has passed the reputation!" Orcus raised his glass to Yan Gonghai as if nothing had happened, "Come on! I respect you!"
As soon as Orcus's voice fell, the wine glass in Yan Gonghai's hand trembled and almost fell from his hand. He stared at the usual-looking Orcus, "Master, do you already know who I am?"
Ocus smiled faintly, "It's because I know who you are that I personally show you to the dreamland."
"Don't sell the customs," Xia Feng couldn't help asking, "I know you have an intention for us. Now you can finally say it, right? It's easy for you to live our lives. There's no need to take so many hard work and treat us like top guests.
"I never kill people casually unless he is really heinous and uninvable." Orcus said righteously, "I do have an intention for you, but this attempt is very just and noble!" You have also seen that the dream country has truly achieved equal treatment and harmonious coexistence among all ethnic groups, and my practice over the past ten years has finally achieved the most satisfactory results. Now, I will push it to the whole continent, and I want to make the whole continent of Atlanta a dream country!" Speaking of this, he stared at the four people. "For this noble and far-reaching dream, I need the help of many people. You are the first people I have chosen."
Seeing that everyone was surprised and looked at each other, Orcus continued to explain: "I know that Kunel is the descendant of the Starry fencing of the Great West Empire, and the Starry Sword School has a high reputation among the warriors of the Great West. I want to use your reputation to promote my thoughts and develop a large number of followers of the dream states among the warriors of the Great West. Although the Southern King was recently defeated by Lin Xiaoyu, he still has a huge underground force in Dongxuan Kingdom. I hope to help you rise again, defeat the King and even overthrow Emperor Yu. At that time, I will rely on you to build Dongxuan Kingdom into a dream country. In order to show my sincerity, I will take the huge wealth of the dream country as your financial support, and let Cangling be your protector and follow you and obey your task.
Yan Gonghai didn't pay attention to Orcus's ambition at all, but the last words of the other party touched his heart. He knew that Master Cangling was the brother of Cangming, the first mage of Dongxuan Kingdom, and it was said that his magic power even exceeded that of his brother Cangming. With his help, it is not impossible to defeat Lin Xiaoyu or even overthrow Emperor Yu. And the huge gem mine in the Southern Wilderness. If it can become its own logistics base, why is it difficult to recruit a new army? As for what country it doesn't matter what country to build, he only cares about power! As long as you can hold greater power, it doesn't matter even if you build Dongxuan into a kingdom of hell. So he immediately agreed to Ocus's proposal in his heart, but in order to seek greater support and interests from the other party, he pretended to be meditated and did not agree immediately.
Ocus ignored Kunier and Yan Gonghai, and turned to Alette and said, "I don't know much about your wingers, but I have no discrimination against you, just like other ethnic groups on this continent. I believe that you also want to see yourself coexist peacefully with all nations, so I also hope to get your help.
Alet nodded excitedly. Landers who do not discriminate against winged people are really rare, especially many winged people who really want to live in harmony with landers. Orcus finally turned to Xia Feng: "I don't know your origin, but I believe you are a very special person. I appreciate your talent very much and hope we can become partners in creating a dream country."
"Don't!" Xia Feng quickly said, "I don't want to be your godson!" Besides, I always feel that your dream is really boring, as if it deprives others of a lot of freedom.
"What freedom?" Orcus stared at Xia Feng and asked, "Is it the freedom to kill others or the freedom to enslave the same kind?"
Xia Feng opened his mouth to answer, but he didn't know how to answer for a moment. He had to shrug his shoulders and spread his hands helplessly and said, "I can't say it. I always feel that your dream is a little too much. Since others are willing to follow you, just like those villagers here, that at least it shows that your dream is really attractive. People's place. I will not interfere with other people's freedom, but I will definitely not waste my life on this ethereal goal, so we will never be partners.
"I have enough patience," Orcus stared at Xia Feng. "I believe that one day you will also become a follower of the dream country."
Xia Feng smiled and made a grimace, "I know what kind of person I am. If you want me to be a saint like you, you might as well kill me directly!"
Kunel also said, "I can promise not to take the 'Maple Star' for the time being, but I will never help you go to the West Empire to promote your dreams. I will not betray the Senate and Emperor Richard, let alone my own country and nation."
"I don't want you to betray your country and nation," Orcus turned to Kunel with a kind smile on his face. "On the contrary, I am guiding a bright path for our common motherland, which is the only correct path for all countries and nations."
Kunel still shook his head, "I don't know whether you are right or wrong, and I don't know how much darkness and injustice there is in the empire, but I have always remembered what my father once said to me when I was a child: To be an upright person, you must have unshakable principles! Loyalty to the empire is my unshakable principle.
"It's really like your father!" Orcus looked at Kunel and sighed gently, with the kindness of the elder in his eyes. "I won't force you to do anything, but I hope you can stay here for a while. I want to talk to you about your father, which is also a kind of memory for old friends.
Kunaire lowered his eyes and didn't say anything. At this moment, Orcus is like an ordinary elder, an ordinary old man who misses his old friend. His request can't be refused. She also wants to know more about his father's life stories from his father's best friend.
At the end of this simple banquet, Yan Gonghai, the king of the south, has completely dispelled the plan to seize the "Maple Star". The inability to seize is one reason, but more importantly, with the help of Orcus, it is completely equivalent to a fine soldier of the Western Empire. Instead of taking risks to seize the "Maple Star", it is better to push the boat along the water to cooperate with Orcus, and immediately bring a huge amount of wealth and powerful Cangling mage back to Nanzhou to regroup! Fight the world again!
The sky outside was already dark, and the four people began to get up and say goodbye. Just then, a teenager hurried to Orcus and whispered a few words in his ear. Orcus didn't hear about it and sent everyone out of the living room. Then he said, "My disciples outside will take you to the guest house in the village. I won't send you far away. I hope you are still used to living there!"
Although he always looked as usual, the careful Xia Feng still faintly flashed when he heard the teenager's whisper, and the solemn look of the teenager who led the way for the four people, he vaguely guessed that something must have happened in the dream country. Xia Feng couldn't help muttering in his heart: In addition to us, who else dares to set off any big waves in front of the three most powerful magicians in this continent?
Just after the four left Orcus's sight, he immediately stared at the teenager beside him: "What's going on?"
The teenager quickly lowered his head: "Father, the maple star has been stolen!"
"Where's Batilla?" Orcus's face turned a little pale, but his expression was still calm. His calmness infected the teenager, and the teenager's voice calmed down a little: "The wizard Batilla was seriously injured, and all his companions guarding the top of the tower were killed!"
Okus narrowed his eyes and his eyes suddenly shrank into a wisp of sharpness, "Who can hurt Batilla?" He muttered. The teenager was speechless and whispered after a moment, "Would you like to blow the warning horn to let all the villagers act?"
"No!" Ocus said decisively, "Since the comer can hurt Batilla on the tower, kill several martial arts skills, break through the triple protective boundary and steal the 'Maple Fir Star', ordinary people have no threat to him at all. I can't make such a big noise because of these small twists and turns, and make my distinguished guests lose confidence in the dream country. Just let me meet him in person and get my staff!"
The teenager walked away quickly and took the silver staff and held it in front of the silver-haired old man after a moment. Orcus took the staff and slowly walked out of the gate, and his elegant back gradually disappeared into the darkness outside the gate.
In the guest house not far from the tower, Xia Feng immediately beat the teenager out on the pretext of taking a break earlier after being led by the teenager to his bedroom. Then he inserted the door, took out the climbing rope with a plum hook from the "hundred treasure bag" at his waist, came to the window and threw it on the eaves. After a moment, he climbed up the roof of the guest house from the window and looked around from a high place. Xia Feng did this just out of curiosity. He just wanted to know what happened tonight in this paradise. Under the moonlight, he found a dark shadow like a spirit cat, fleeing from the direction of the tower to the guest house. The figure lying high on the roof was very flexible, which made Xia Feng feel a little familiar.
Good guy! The dream country is also a thief, and it is incredible that it is still so smart! Xia Feng was secretly surprised. Seeing that the other party was about to come to his side, Xia Feng estimated the place where he might have landed and lay down on the eaves and hid in the dark. With his agile skills in rock climbing, it is no more difficult to move on this roof than on flat ground.
The dark shadow finally came to Xia Feng's invisible eaves. Xia Feng suddenly smiled and asked quietly in the dark, "Hey, what did you steal? According to the rules, you have to share half of the meeting!"
The shadow was stunned and suddenly rushed to the summer wind. Before the person arrived, a cold light had pointed straight to Xia Feng's throat. The speed was unexpectedly extremely fast, which shocked Xia Feng with a cold sweat and barely avoided it sideways. The shadow then turned around and rushed back. Xia Feng had to fight back. The two fought on the eaves, like two elves flying in the dark night. Except for the sound of fists and legs, they could not hear any sound. After a few moves, the two retreated two steps like lightning and half knelt on the eaves, like two cats waiting for the opportunity to move.
The shock in Xia Feng's heart at this moment is simply incompromising. The other party is actually a fighting master, and his skills are not inferior to himself. That vaguely familiar hand reminded Xia Feng of something, but he was not sure. In the hazy night, I couldn't see the other party's face clearly, and I could only see his tight black clothes and slightly slender figure.
There were faint figures flashing on the street, and people began to appear on the eaves, slowly covering this way. Looking at those figures, Xia Feng knew that they were the teenagers in white who had been trained hard since childhood. There are more than ten people. Xia Feng hurriedly waved to the shadow opposite and whispered, "Follow me!"
said that he touched the climbing rope left on the eaves, climbed down the eaves along the rope, and then gently swung back to his bedroom. A moment later, the thief in black tights also followed Xia Feng into the bedroom. The two confronted warily and half lay on the ground and dared not move. There were the slight footsteps of teenagers stepping on the tiles on the eaves above their heads, and it gradually faded away after a moment.
Xia Feng's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness in the bedroom. At such a close distance, he gradually saw the contour of the other party's face and couldn't help shouting: "Flying Cat Jia Xinna!"
"Summer wind!" The other party also shouted softly, and the voice was full of surprise and surprise. Two extreme competition opponents in the real world actually met by chance in this virtual continent of Atlandis!
