Chapter 698: Chu Jie Monument (two chapters in one)
"The empire occupies nearly 9.28 million square kilometers of land and vast sea areas, but most of it is managed in a self-governing way.
The core of the empire's vast territory is San Dias, where the most advanced schools are concentrated to develop various military preparations for the empire.
There are top industrial talents, psychic talents, etc..."
On the ship, Makarov sat in front of Ding Xiaoyi, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, chatting with Ding Xiaoyi.
In his description, San Diego was a paradise.
Humanity's application of spiritual energy has reached an incredible level of maturity.
Psionics at the spiritual level can engage in basic work.
The evil spirit level can advance to participate in certain large-scale projects, and can also serve as soldiers in the army, and have enough supplies every month.
As for the evil spirit class, the path is wider, and they can serve as lower-level commanders in the military.
Even if you don't join the military, there are plenty of high-paying jobs available.
As for the disaster spirit level masters, their treatment is even better.
From the disaster spirits on up, they are the empire's top combat power, the number of which can be counted on one hand.
The one Makarov knew was the Grand Marshal of the Empire and the current Prophet.
As for the other people, although he heard about them occasionally, he didn't know them in detail, and he didn't even know their names.
After Makarov finished speaking, Ding Xiaoyi silently shook the red wine glass in his hand, his face full of silence, and he didn't seem to be too touched.
But in my heart, there was already a storm.
The generation difference is also too big.
According to Makarov, disaster spirits are almost normal among the Yi people.
Dragon level is not rare either.
Makarov is just a junior officer and only knows two.
But he believed that the number of dragons was not as rare as he said. He believed that Makarov did not deliberately hide it, but just because he didn't know, it didn't mean that there wasn't any.
Not to mention, there is such a terrible gap that all the people are spiritual masters, and the alliance may not even be able to catch up.
It's ridiculous that those families are still complacent that their elders have broken through the disaster spirit.
The disadvantage is that the two are too far apart.
Otherwise, if a war breaks out, they may only send out part of the army to break the alliance into pieces.
"You ask me so many questions, can you answer me one question?"
Marklov couldn't see the joy, anger, sorrow, or joy from Ding Xiaoyi's face, and he wasn't sure what this guy was thinking, so he mustered up the courage to ask.
"What?" Ding Xiaoyi raised his head.
"You! What is your purpose here?" Marklov asked directly without going around in circles.
Hearing this, Ding Xiaoyi finally smiled. He liked this Marklov. He was an upright guy. Perhaps it was the military style of this guy that prevented him from feeling any disgust at all.
You must know that he originally planned to throw this guy into the spiritual space to raise him as a leek.
Now...he has changed his mind.
I saw him smiling and saying: "If I said that I came here to find my wife, would you believe it?"
Marklov was stunned for a moment and stared at Ding Xiaoyi's eyes. Although this was a very outrageous excuse, his sincere eyes made Marklov actually choose to believe him.
So he lowered his head silently, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally seemed to muster up the courage: "Actually... I... still have a sister."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent instantly.
"Buzz!!!"
Standing behind Marklov, Cyclops and several other captains slowly pulled out their knives silently.
Looking at this guy Marklov, his eyes were particularly unkind.
Some pirates even started to think about using the cruelest punishment of pirates [blood eagle] to deal with this bastard.
“Bang bang bang!!”
Even the butcher who was chopping the fish on the deck was getting heavier and heavier, until the meat was chopped into minced meat along with the thick chopping board.
At this time, Marklov's attention was entirely focused on the young man in front of him, and he did not notice the unkind atmosphere around him.
Seeing Ding Xiaoyi standing there with a blank look on his face, he suddenly became anxious and quickly and eagerly promoted:
"Although my sister is mixed-race, she is one-third pure-blood.
She is very beautiful, she is only fifteen years old, and she already possesses the strength of a top-grade evil spirit.
She just graduated from the Imperial Higher Education Institution, and...she is still a virgin."
After the words fell, Ding Xiaoyi finally came to his senses. He reached out and waved his hand gently, as if to ward off flies.
Marklov suddenly felt a chill on his scalp, and subconsciously reached out to touch his head, only to find that a bunch of hair was missing from the back of his head.
"boom!"
At the same time, a big knife flew down from an unknown angle, and the blade was inserted straight into the deck.
Ding Xiaoyi glanced sideways at Wangcai, and Wangcai suddenly understood and waved his hand to signal the captains to calm down.
At this time, Marklov suddenly shuddered, and then he realized that the pirates around him were looking at him with such ferocious eyes, as if they might tear him into pieces at any time.
Although he didn't know why, he still didn't give up.
His sister is very good, and although they are not the same mother, they have a very good relationship.
Just one-third of the pure-blooded bloodline is enough to make most nobles willing to put aside their modesty and pay huge betrothal gifts to marry her.
It's just that Marklov doesn't like those exaggerated nobles at all.
So when I heard Ding Xiaoyi's words, the first thing that came to my mind was to turn this young man into my brother-in-law.
Maybe not possible.
But what if??
If he wins the bet, wouldn't he make a lot of money?
Marklov actually took out a photo of his sister from his wallet and handed it to Ding Xiaoyi.
Ding Xiaoyi took the photo generously.
After taking a look, he nodded: "It's indeed cute!"
The girl in the photo is very cute, with long brown hair and a pair of red eyes. She is a cute little sister.
"It's just that you may have misunderstood me. What I mean is that I am here to pick up my wife and take her home to raise a baby. I am already married."
Hearing this, Marklov's face instantly became embarrassed.
After returning the photo to him, Ding Xiaoyi no longer planned to chat with this guy any more.
He signaled Wangcai and sent him back to his room to rest. Oh, it was a separate room, and he had to personally ask the one-eyed dragon to take good care of him.
Not to prevent this guy from escaping.
He was afraid that if he wasn't guarded, this guy would mysteriously disappear on the boat the next day.
After all, people are still useful, but they can't die here.
After seeing off Marklov, Ding Xiaoyi stood up and took a deep breath into the sea breeze.
The strange fragrance wafted in the air, much stronger than before.
This couldn't help but make him feel hot.
He ordered the one-eyed dragon to speed up, and at the same time called out the big eyeball again, and headed straight ahead to explore the way.
Big Eyeball's speed is naturally far faster than the fleet.
But even so, it took me half an hour to fly before I saw a coastline in the distance.
Indicates that the fleet will temporarily stop the ship.
Ding Xiaoyi called several captains: "We are here. There is land in front of us. I will go ashore to look for it first, while you guys pay attention to all the movements on the sea."
"Let me go!"
"I am coming too!"
After hearing this, several captains immediately expressed their willingness to follow Ding Xiaoyi.
Ding Xiaoyi rejected them all.
The situation ahead was unclear, so there was no need for him to bring so many people. Too many people would be a hindrance.
Besides, this is an unfamiliar place, and such a large fleet is here. If there are not enough experts to take charge, if someone takes over, how will I explain to Yu Niang after I find Yu Niang?
Therefore, he only plans to bring a few clever ones. The strength does not need to be strong, just above average, so that it will not attract attention.
If something happens, you can keep in touch with people like One-Eyed Dragon through it at any time by carrying the body of wealth.
Although several captains were unwilling to give in, they also knew that their identities as disaster spirits were a bit too eye-catching.
So they summoned their most astute men one after another.
Ding Xiaoyi selected seven people from inside and put them into his psychic space with a wave of his hand.
At this time, Wangcai whispered: "Master, you'd better take that fool Marklov away."
No wonder Wangcai is in such trouble.
Just because Marklov, a fool, dared to openly poach his own captain in front of all the pirates, it is estimated that there are countless pirates here who want to cut him alive at this time.
It's okay for Ding Xiaoyi to stay calm here, but if he leaves the ship.
With just a dog-headed strategist, how can he be able to suppress it?
Don't think that a ban can stop these pirates. If they were so obedient, why would they be called pirates?
They are all people who lick blood with their swords. If he really risked his life to chop Marklov into pieces, no one would frown even if he was killed or beheaded.
"All right!"
He knew that this matter was a misunderstanding, but it always happened because of himself, so he might as well take it with him.
When someone went to summon Marklov, Wangcai suddenly remembered something, pulled Beilan over and said, "By the way, take Beilan with you too. He is a businessman and has good eloquence. He may be able to help the master!"
At this time, Wangcai brought Bei Lan over.
I saw Bei Lan immediately kneeling down with a thud: "Master, please grant me your permission!"
Bei Lan knew in his heart that this trip might be dangerous, but if he could gain the favor of his master and mistress, his future would be safe.
This is the road paved by his godfather, and he has no reason not to follow it.
Looking at Bei Lan who was kneeling on the ground, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly sighed and thought: "If you hadn't been greedy for wealth and pleasure, you would have had the courage to work hard, how could you risk your own life?"
Up?"
"Then let's go together!"
As he spoke, he waved and brought Beiran and Marklov into the psychic space.
After telling everyone to be careful and hide.
Ding Xiaoyi tore open a crack in the space, and his figure quickly disappeared in front of everyone.
After leaving those pirates behind, Ding Xiaoyi's speed suddenly accelerated to the extreme.
The figure constantly shuttles between the cracks. The next second after emerging from the spatial crack, the person often has no space to occupy the space, and the person will travel through the space again and escape far away.
The power of rules is used so frequently.
If it were another person, I would have collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
Ding Xiaoyi just took an ordinary psychic pill and continued on his way without even pausing for a moment.
Often the distance of several mountains passes by in an instant.
However, at this moment, in the process of traveling through space, the space suddenly became violently distorted.
It was as if a force had forcibly cut off the connection with the other end.
"not good!"
The sudden change shocked him, and he punched the air in front of him.
A ball of white flame covered his fist.
As he punched the void in front of him, flames burst out, two completely different rules of power: death and light.
"Click!"
Suddenly there was a cracking sound in the void, as if something was shattered by him.
Ding Xiaoyi vaguely heard a cry of surprise coming from the void.
But at this time, he had no intention of paying attention. Taking advantage of the moment when the power was blocked, he immediately escaped from the void.
"so close!"
As soon as the space crack appeared, he suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
Although this type of escape across an extremely long distance in the void is convenient, it also has many drawbacks.
Just like just now, someone actually discovered me and interfered with me with a strange power.
If he hadn't defeated that power with one punch, once the passage was cut off, he might have been trapped in nothingness for a long time before he could climb out.
"I didn't expect that there are such masters here!"
Even though I had expected it early on, I didn't expect that I would be taught a lesson as soon as I entered this place.
Looking around, I realized that there was actually a mountain field in front of me.
And not far behind him, there was actually a stone tablet standing.
What's even more surprising is that there is actually a fist mark imprinted on the stone tablet.
"My fist seal!!"
He stepped forward and could feel the hot heat flowing from the fist mark.
Could it be that... the power that blocked him just now was emitted through this stone tablet?
Thinking of this, he took a closer look at the two words written crookedly on it.
However, I could only make a vague guess and recognized that there was a word "jie" below.
So he woke up Wangcai, pointed to the word above and asked: "What word is this??"
After Wangcai woke up, he took a look. He stared at it for a long time before hesitatingly said: "Master, this may be a boundary monument, and it says "Maybe Chu".
"Chujie!"
He tried to read it together.
"Probably, if it is a boundary monument, the master should leave as soon as possible. If the boundary monument is passive, it will definitely alert the nearby guards, which will only cause more trouble."
What Wangcai said was not unreasonable. Although he was not afraid, the most important thing at the moment was to find Yu Niang.
Other things can be completely ignored.
So he turned around and disappeared into the woods. After what had just happened, he did not dare to travel long distances easily, but his figure kept moving, and his speed was not slow at all.
And at this moment.
In the Qianyang Yinxu Palace, there was chaos.
I saw countless huge bronze mirrors placed in the huge palace building.
The pictures reflected in each bronze mirror are completely different.
And just now a bronze mirror shattered.
This shows that someone forcibly crossed the Chu boundary.
An old man walked out in a hurry. He didn't know how old he was. His face was full of scars, his cheeks were thin, and he only had a pair of eyes, which were bright and full of energy.
Wearing a blue robe, the wide sleeves are embroidered with yin and yang fish graphics.
As it walks, under the change of light, the Yin Yang Fish seems to be alive, turning slowly.
There is a jade crown on the top of the head and a sword-shaped hairpin to fix the long hair.
After walking out of the palace, he immediately called a pair of black-armored guards: "Quick, let someone go check it out immediately. This person is very powerful. He may be a spy of the Qin State. He must live to see his body dead or his corpse!"
