The airship seemed to be passing by, and the ground squirmed.
This is not an exaggerated description, but the ground is really crawling. Those strange people standing on the ground looked around after feeling the tremor of the ground, not knowing why.
But soon, the branches protruding from the ground dragged them into the ground, completely becoming nourishment for a certain creature.
Xu Le stood on the airship, closed his eyes, and observed everything with his ancient Yinduo vision.
At this time, they were already some distance away from the lighthouse. Xu Le shook his fingers and his expression became a little regretful.
"It seems that we can only go here..."
"Meow? What's going on here?" Ding Ke asked a little strangely.
Xu Le smiled, stroked Ding Ke's head, pointed in the direction of the lighthouse and said:
"I am enclosing territory for myself. Sure enough, human power always has its limits. If you want to develop bigger, you need a group."
Ding Ke was a little confused, but he didn't think much and turned around to eat.
…
The next morning, Alley came over with the agreement requested by Xu Le.
"Xu Le, this agreement for requesting resources has been finalized, but isn't it a little too uneven?
Zion itself produces steel, why do we need so much steel?"
"Having enough steel can build a strong city. We need a strong city, so we need to collect enough steel."
Xu Le said something like a tongue twister, which made Ai Li confused.
She held Xu Le's hand. She had seen Xu Le's transformation these days, so she had always cooperated with him in life.
Xu Le never revealed what was on his mind, and she didn't ask too much.
Now that she is about to return to Zion, she certainly hopes that Xu Le can calm down.
"Although there have been many accidents at the lighthouse, Zhou Bi and Jin Mingzhu recognized the trade agreement, and we also signed a new treaty.
After you go back this time, you will be an official Lighthouse Councilor, Xu Le."
"Then should you call me Councilor Xu Le?"
"Of course, Councilor Hui Le."
…
On the way the airship returned to Zion, Chixiao had also returned to the Red Moon Temple.
As soon as she returned to the temple, several warlocks stationed at the Red Moon Temple found her.
"Master One-Eyed, please come with us."
Chi Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly but had no intention of agreeing.
"Are you new here?"
"What do you mean, Master One-Eyed? It was the Vice-Palace Master who asked you to go there..."
Snapped!
Before the man could finish his words, Chi Xiao slapped him in the face.
Although Chi Xiao is a warlock, her power is blessed with steel, and she almost slapped this person away.
He looked at Chi Xiao in disbelief, wondering why he was treated like this after receiving the order from the deputy palace master.
"you……"
Chi Xiao ignored him and looked at several other warlocks who came together but did not speak.
"Hey, you guys, is this guy Melis' new pretty boy?"
Faced with such a powerful question, these warlocks lowered their heads, neither confirming nor denying.
The beaten warlock covered his face and stood up, wanting to say something else, but Chi Xiao's eyes immediately turned cold.
A strand of wire suddenly appeared from her hand, twisted around the man's neck and then twisted it suddenly.
Click!
Several warlocks around silently lowered their heads and watched helplessly as Chi Xiao broke the man's neck, but no one came out to refute.
Chi Xiao retracted the wire, shook off the blood stains left on it from scratching the opponent's neck, turned to the remaining people and said:
"Go back and tell Melis that I'm going to eat. After eating, I will go find her."
"Yes, Master Chixiao, walk slowly."
After Chi Xiao left, these people winked at each other, began to collect the body of the man on the ground, and then returned to the temple to report to the deputy temple master Melis.
In the Red Moon Temple, the deputy temple master Melis listened to the report of his subordinates, his expression was a little sad.
"Chixiao actually killed my people, how could she bully me like this..."
Melis looks about 30 years old, with fair and tender skin. His whole person exudes a strong aura of temptation, which makes people feel pity for him.
Not only the men, but also the women who served her couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva when they saw it.
The allure exuded from her is a method that is indiscriminate and even ignores gender.
"Master of the Palace."
"Calling me deputy palace master is not a title that can be surpassed."
"Oh, Deputy Palace Master, that one-eyed owl is so arrogant and domineering that he doesn't take the Deputy Palace Master seriously at all. Such a guy should find an opportunity and execute him on the spot..."
Poof!
As soon as the handsome boy finished speaking, his head was twisted off.
This time, it was Melis who screwed it himself.
She threw the masked head onto the main hall and said to the store door:
"Xiao Chixiao, this man said bad things about you. He is really annoying to ruin our relationship like this, so I will kill him to calm you down."
"I'm not angry." Chi Xiao, who had just finished eating, stared at Melis with an indifferent expression.
The eyes of both parties collided, as if sparks were flying.
The atmosphere in the hall where no one spoke was depressing, and the surrounding warlocks knelt down and prostrated on the ground.
This is a collision of momentum between legendary masters, and it is the true power of legend.
The gap in the essence of life is vividly reflected at this moment.
"Xiao Chixiao's strength has improved again. Did he break through his original bottleneck after getting the metal fruit?
Fire melts steel, and steel creates a furnace. The ability of this fruit is really suitable for you."
"It's quite suitable." Chi Xiao did not deny it.
"Where is Duo Lei? Is she dead?" Melis finally brought the topic to the right track.
Chi Xiao also nodded:
"Yes, Duo Lei is dead."
"You and Yu Long didn't even protect her? My daughter, my daughter... wu wu wu."
Melis's expression was a little unbelievable, but Chi Xiao, who knew her well, understood that this guy was just pretending.
Can you believe crocodile tears? Only fools believe it.
"Yeah, I'm sorry that I didn't protect your daughter." Chi Xiao lowered his head cooperatively at this time.
However, Melis's face covering her hands soon let go. While sobbing, she looked at Chi Xiao lovingly:
"It doesn't matter. Although Duo Lei is the favorite and most beloved of my more than 30 daughters, if it's you, Xiao Chixiao, it doesn't matter..."
"You said the same thing when Dora died last time." Chi Xiao curled his lips.
Yes, Melis did have a daughter named Dora, who also died during the mission.
Moreover, these so-called daughters were not adopted, they were all born by Melis himself.
She gave birth to many, many children, dozens? More than a hundred? No one knows the exact number.
There are both boys and girls, and these people have become the most solid apostles of Melis.
This is also the most fearful thing about her.
Melis may not be the strongest in the Red Moon Temple, but her complicated parent-child relationship is enough to affect the stability of the Red Moon Temple.
No one can ignore this power, let alone thugs like Chi Xiao and outsiders.
Melis gently stroked his belly and said softly:
"It doesn't matter, Xiao Chixiao. In a few days, I will have a new son. Do you want to give him a name?"
"Pointless."
"Since Dole's mission has not been completed, let's define the new child as female. How about calling her Dora?
I think she will be as good as Dore and Dora, no, she should be more playful than them, after all, Dore and Dora both failed."
"These are your own affairs."
"Why are you so heartless, Xiao Chixiao? I have always wanted to have a child with you..."
Chi Xiao ignored Melis's words, took out a report and threw it away.
"The mission has ended, this time the mission report."
"Soul fire?" Melis frowned.
Chi Xiao's report did not conceal the situation. This was Xu Le's instruction, because there was no point in concealing it.
Even if Chi Xiao doesn't come back to report, the Red Moon Temple will send others to the lighthouse, it's just a few days away.
Xu Le is short of time, but not short of such a little time.
"Judging from your mission report, the situation in the lighthouse today is really interesting. Are you the only one who survived on the tower? Are there anyone else?"
"I don't know. In the end, the energy of the Light Forge began to spread. To ensure safety, I did not stay there any longer."
"Okay, this mission is really hard. Xiao Chixiao, please go back and rest first."
"knew."
Chi Xiao turned around and left, ignoring Melis's narrow eyes and kept staring at her.
After Chi Xiao left, one of Melis's guards came up and whispered:
"Mom, she lied."
"I know."
"But she lied, so she doesn't need to be held accountable?" The man had some disbelief on his face.
But Melis just narrowed his eyes.
"Many parents like to lie to their children. Do you think their children dare to pursue them after they lie?"
"Um...it's not the same."
"It's the same. This is the difference brought by strength and authority. Before you have the ability to question me, I can lie to you no matter what. Get out."
"yes."
Melis looked through Chixiao's mission report again. The content above was dry, and eight out of ten of the content was parallel imports, so naturally it had no nutrition.
But soon, Melis came up with a pre-mission report.
This report was passed back by Duo Lei before.
One person is clearly recorded above.
Xu Le!
"This Xu Le was mentioned in Duo Lei's mission report, but it was almost hidden in Chi Xiao's report. It's interesting, very interesting..."
After hearing what Melis said, someone immediately sent Xu Le's information.
"Xu Le, a Zion native, once studied in the Lighthouse and worked as a night watchman. After returning to Zion, he joined the Zion Progressives. Then he rose rapidly and became a member of the Zion Council with the help of Guyinduo's technological core."
Melis nodded slightly.
"Such an important task, whether you are involved or not, you should really pay attention to it.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should be back in Zion by now.
Send someone to make contact."
"Yes, Mom, what about the lighthouse?"
"Of course, the matter of the lighthouse must be reported. The four major city-states are united. This is the most basic bottom line. Now that the lighthouse is in disaster, of course we must help the lighthouse.
Spread the word that the Red Moon Temple is willing to accept the refugees from Lighthouse unconditionally and provide military assistance to Lighthouse before the next black tide."
"yes."
Melis turned his attention to Xu Le's information again.
"Another excellent man..."
…
When the congressman's airship returned to Zion, Xu Le was warmly welcomed by a large number of citizens as soon as he disembarked.
"Member Hui Le!"
"Welcome home."
Because Zion's energy policy has begun to be implemented, this will have huge benefits for the entire people of Zion.
Real free resources have drastically reduced the pressure on many families.
The difference is that the people of Zion today, even if they are not rich, can use heating and air conditioning without any pressure.
This is huge progress.
Ai Li whispered while protecting Xu Le:
"You are really popular now."
"Uncle Li did all this. I don't do this on weekdays. He has a team dedicated to hyping me up and keeping me popular."
"Is that so? What's the use?"
"The function? The function is to make my public reputation high enough, and then it will be easier for us to carry out our next plan."
"I understand, where to go now?"
"Go directly to Uncle Li's place."
The group of people quickly got into the car and headed to the Zion Council for reinstatement.
Li Wen actually dislikes the environment of the Zion Council, which is full of intrigues. Even if he is the most intrigued person, he doesn't like it here.
He prefers the Zion Progressives Guild, which is full of researchers and is easy to cheat and invest in.
But today is the day when Xu Le comes back. Naturally, they have a lot of things to talk about, and they can only do it at the Zion Council.
As soon as he entered the building, Xu Le saw Li Wen waiting for him.
The two simply shook hands and hugged, and Li Wen patted him on the back.
"Congratulations on your safe return."
"Uncle Li, I have something very important to do, so the reinstatement meeting will be postponed for now."
Li Wen was obviously stunned for a moment. Is there anything more important than the reinstatement of a council member?
But he reacted very quickly. Since Xu Le had spoken, it must be because of his matters.
"Okay, let's have a private chat first."
With that said, Li Wen took Xu Le away.
Watching Xu Le and Li Wen leave whispering to each other, the members of the Zion Council just stood there stunned.
They have prepared a reinstatement ceremony, a welcome ceremony, etc...
What's going on?
"Mr. Congressman."
"We will discuss reinstatement later. I have something very important to discuss with Mr. Li Wen."
Xu Le stared at the official, his calm eyes putting a lot of pressure on him.
The official's pupils began to shake, and his consciousness began to become blurred.
"I, I...I'm sorry, I was presumptuous..."
He backed away sweating profusely, and the people around him were also surprised. They just glanced at Xu Le, why he was like this.
While walking on the road, the two began to chat.
"Okay, Uncle Li, let's go, I have a plan that I want to talk to you about."
