The smile that hung on Long Kongkong's face every day had completely disappeared at this moment. Long Dangdang was very silent, and the silence was a bit depressing.
"You should understand. Xueer chose to leave for fear of causing trouble for the family. Although she is usually quirky, she is very independent and has a stubborn personality. Whatever she decides will definitely end up in trouble. Your grandma and I
We went to find her, but she really wanted to commit suicide in front of us, which scared us so much that we had to give up. She was even more unwilling to accept any kindness from her family, even to help your father advance. She used her own
The action is completely divorced from the relationship with the Ling family. But we all know that all her efforts are for the Ling family, for us." At this point, Mr. Ling was already in tears.
"Times have changed. After so many years, the Holy Church has long cleared her suspicions. But even so, she has never come back. Because she is unwilling to have even the slightest threat to us. Do you know?
This time she is willing to let you come home. Your grandma and I are so happy. We have waited for this day for too long, too long. So, grandpa asks you today to tell you when you return to Tenglong City.
Everything is over for her, and nothing will affect our family anymore. Let her come back. Your grandma, I, and her brothers and sisters all miss her very much..."
Mr. Ling could no longer speak. Even though he was a man of great dignity, he was crying with tears in his eyes. At this moment, he really showed his old age.
Long Dangdang stood up, came to Mr. Ling's side, and gently stroked his back.
Long Kongkong sat there in a daze, with a hint of anger flickering deep in his eyes.
"Why did the church do this to my mother? They obviously don't have any evidence." Long Kongkong murmured.
"Kongkong!" Long Dangdang shouted suddenly.
Long Kongkong shivered cleverly and looked up at Long Dangdang. His eye circles were a little red, "Brother, mom, she..., I, I want to go back to see her."
Long Dangdang looked at his younger brother and said softly: "It's in the past, it's all in the past. Mom is fine now, please relax. Mom and dad are very happy together. Even though she had no choice but to choose, she is very happy now. She has
Dad, and us. She has never been unhappy in these years." He was comforting his younger brother, but how could he not be comforting his grandfather?
The greeting gifts given by the uncles and aunts today were a bit excessive. They were still just two children. But after listening to his grandfather's story about the past, he understood that this was a compensation for his mother.
Did her mother do the right thing? Long Dangdang didn't know. With the ability of the Ling family, she would have been able to protect her at the beginning. But she still chose to do it. She used her own pain to repay the Ling family's kindness in raising her. But this time he
The reason why she was willing to let herself and her brother bring letters back was probably because times had changed and she had gradually forgotten the past.
Mr. Ling gradually stopped feeling sad and his eyes became a little deeper, "Back then, I failed to protect your mother, but don't worry, what happened in the past will never happen again. If anyone dares to question your identity, no matter how hard you try,
But this old bone has destroyed the entire Ling family, and I still want justice."
Ling Xue's matter has been suppressed in Mr. Ling's heart for too long. He has only wanted to have a clear conscience in his life, and the one who deserves it is his adopted daughter. Now, seeing that his adopted daughter's two sons are so outstanding, he has grown up in Lao Huai.
While feeling comforted, why don’t you feel mixed feelings in your heart?
"Grandpa." Long Dangdang looked at Mr. Ling, "I think it's better for us not to talk to each other externally."
Mr. Ling's face changed slightly, and he said bitterly: "Yes, it was all my fault back then..."
Long Dangdang interrupted him at this moment and said: "Grandpa, listen to me, I didn't mean it like this. What happened back then would never have been your fault. If you hadn't rescued my mother from that desert island,
Don't talk about us, even she will definitely not be able to survive there. Mom has definitely never hated you and knows the truth. The reason why she chose that way is, I think, to repay her kindness, at least not to involve you.
Ling family."
"And the reason why I said it's not suitable for me to recognize you and get involved with the Ling family is actually mainly because of the spiritual furnace selection ceremony. My cousin is so outstanding, don't you think the Ling family is already too powerful?
We were shocked when we heard the identities of several uncles today, but at the same time, I believe that our Ling family is also under the pressure that the Ling family is under. If the Holy Church knew, the other two students who had obtained the Wisdom Spiritual Furnace, especially those who had obtained
Kongkong of the Shenqiyu Tongling Stove is also a member of the Ling family, and I’m afraid there will be more jealous people.”
Mr. Ling was slightly stunned. Looking at the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but be surprised by his thoughtfulness and calmness. This is a young man who is not yet fifteen years old! His mind is so delicate that he actually thought of this.
.
"Grandpa knows everything you mentioned. However, I don't want you to suffer any further grievances. That's why I didn't think about it." Mr. Ling said.
Long Dangdang nodded. Because of this, after listening to his grandfather's story about his mother, he still had no prejudice against his grandfather. If Mr. Ling cares more about the status of the Ling family, he can contact them secretly.
, instead of asking their cousin to bring them back directly. As for their relationship with the Ling family, not many people should know about it now. After all, my mother has been away for almost twenty years, and her suspicion has long been
They were cleared. Even at Linglu Academy, there were very few people who heard them call them cousin.
"Grandpa, we are teammates with my cousin now. It is normal to come to my cousin's house as a guest, or to be invited by the Ling family. Even if the Holy Church knew about our relationship, I don't think they would think that we are too close. After all,
, my mother has left the Ling family and is not related by blood. Therefore, I think we should come to the Ling family as little as possible in the future, at least until we really grow up, and we cannot appear too close to you. In this way, it will be good for the Ling family.
, which is good for us. Although the Holy Church has not taken any action yet, I believe that they will pay great attention to the owner of the Wisdom Soul Furnace."
Mr. Ling sighed softly, "Son, thank you for considering the Ling family so much. What you said is right. However, the Holy Church should not be able to consider so much at the moment. Since you already know about the tide of the undead, there are some things
I can tell you too."
At this point, his eyes became serious, "The tide of the undead is more terrifying and serious than you think. Now the church is going all out to deal with it. Recently, the tide of the undead is about to break out again.
After decades of continuous struggle, even the news and the Federation are somewhat unable to suppress it. The manpower of the Holy Church and even the six major temples has begun to be stretched. This is why you senior students of Spirit Furnace Academy
The reason for being pulled out directly. In this case, we can no longer take care of the internal power struggle and can only act unanimously to the outside world."
Long Dangdang was stunned, and Long Kongkong also subconsciously raised his head.
"How serious is it?" Long Kongkong asked subconsciously.
Mr. Ling said: "To the west, more than 7% of the entire Holy Demon Continent has been occupied by undead creatures. Therefore, now it is not just a problem of the undead tide, but a battle of destruction between each other."
After hearing his words, the two brothers couldn't help but take a breath, because they both thought of what Yutong said before, the more undead creatures there are, the more the tide will rise. They are more terrifying than the plague. Die in battle.
The comrades in arms are likely to become enemies in the next moment. Seven percent of the continent's area may not sound like much, but it is also a quite vast area, and such an area is already full of undead creatures. What a terrifying thing it is.
Something!
Mr. Ling said solemnly: "This is not the most terrifying thing. The reason why the Federation is almost unable to suppress the tide of undead is because undead creatures have begun to penetrate into the inland. They are not only very destructive, but also the most terrifying thing.
What is infecting our cemeteries, especially those of professionals, is the creation of powerful undead creatures. Now the entire federal government and the church are very busy. I am one of the few churches who stayed in the holy city to take charge.
Even I have to take turns guarding the cemetery. The situation of being infiltrated can be imagined. Therefore, the seemingly peaceful Federation is actually at a critical moment of life and death. No one knows what will happen when the next undead tide breaks out.
What kind of changes will it bring? According to federal government estimates, if undead creatures occupy more than 30% of the continental area in the future, then human beings may be wiped out."
This time, even the hostility shown in Long Kongkong's eyebrows disappeared. They had just heard about the undead creatures. Although they were originally surprised, when they thought about the fact that there were so many powerful people in the Federation, and there were
The people in the church did not think that this was a disaster that could affect all mankind. But when they heard what Grandpa said, they truly understood the seriousness of the situation.
"I can also tell you some news. Due to the seriousness of the situation, although you are still junior students, you may soon join the team to fight against the tide of the undead. Not only that, all the senior colleges of Temple Academy, ten
All students who are over five years old and have a cultivation level of level three or above will be recruited."
"The reason why I called you here today is not only to recognize my relatives, but also to help you make some preparations in advance." Mr. Ling said.
Long Dang said: "Grandpa, how long do we have until we are called up? We must go, right?"
Mr. Ling nodded and said: "For the sake of the Federation and all mankind, the current recruitment order is mandatory. But as graduates of Spirit Furnace Academy, you are also the hope of the future, and even the main force in fighting the tide of the undead in the future.
It will be easier for you. You should be allowed to form a demon hunting group in advance, and then complete some tasks mainly focused on internal cleanup and infiltration. This will be safer. When you grow to a stronger level, you will have to invest
We’re on the battlefield.”
Long Dang said: "Grandpa, don't our federation, especially the Magic Temple, have many powerful forbidden spells? Can't we counterattack and compress the living space of those undead creatures?"
Mr. Ling sighed and said: "The Federation must have tried everything you can think of. It's not that easy. There are also Dharma God-level existences on the undead side. Among them, the most terrifying thing is the power of pollution. Once the undead are killed,
Tidal pollution, then all creatures in the area will become undead. Whether they are humans, animals, or even spiritual furnaces, they will be infected. Our high-level magicians spend most of their energy maintaining protective shields to resist.
In this way, the infection of these undead tides can be resisted and will not continue to spread on a large scale. Once we launch the forbidden spell to attack, most of the ones that can be killed are low-level undead creatures, and correspondingly, they will also retaliate.
At present, we have not taken any advantage, and the Holy Church and the federal government have never made up their minds to fight the tide of the undead. We have tried it before, but the problem is that even if the tide of the undead is solved on the surface, in fact the high-level
All the undead creatures are lurking, and they will bloom more when they appear next time. The current situation is actually intentional on our part, letting the undead creatures gather in a certain area, which is better than having them lurk.
More, at least some of the powerful undead creatures headed by them are within our field of vision. It is always easier to arrange."
Having said this, the old man paused for a moment before continuing: "As for the time when you will be recruited, it should be very soon. After you are recruited, the Spiritual Furnace Academy will be temporarily closed and managed by the Holy Church as a storage place for the spiritual furnace.
.In the future, the spiritual furnace will occupy a very important position in the exchange of meritorious deeds, and it will also stimulate soldiers to use their lives."
Is Spirit Furnace Academy about to close down? Long Dangdang looked at Long Kongkong, his heart heavy. No wonder the academy suddenly strengthened its practical training recently, although I don’t know how the academy was able to simulate those powerful demons and put them
Bringing into such a simulation space, but it is conceivable that such a simulation space consumes a lot of resources. Is it because they are about to join the battlefield?
Long Kongkong's eyes looked a little hollow. What he was thinking about at this time was, if he was recruited, what would happen to the chop shop? What would happen to the goddess sister?
"I will take you to a place where there is a meeting gift prepared by grandpa for you."
