Ark of the Immortal

Yes, it is difficult to find the source through detailed research. But according to the analysis of many people and the information provided by the fragments, this is the big crater created when the god you shot hit the ground.

When General Li said this, Ling Ze beside him added at the right time.

In the decisive battle that day, you shot down an old guy with a big bow. You used most of your strength to imprison him here, and then you went in to fight with him. The traces of the battle left a huge crater in this place. He died The corpses at the end turned into soil and mountains, covering the pit, and finally turned into this mountain.

Although it looks like a mountain on the outside, the inner passages are intertwined. One passage leads directly to the underground. The bottom is the passage opened by his transaction with the abyss. Then you pulled us to sleep. Where did you put it down? I don’t know about the real fire. In the decades since I joined the army, I have never seen a fire ceremony, so I didn’t stay in the south much.”

After Ling said this, he saw General Li next to him asking curiously.

Who is this?

Make yourself speak and answer General Li.

My name is Ling, you may have heard of me.

But hundreds of years ago, the famous general Jubei, General Ling?

The veteran looked slightly excited, thinking of the rumor in the army.

Exactly.

The veteran Ling stood up straight, his expression unconsciously solemn, and he seemed to have quickly fallen into the role.

Since I retired from the army, I have never entered Jade Gate again. Today I returned to Jade Gate, and my heart is full of joy.

General Li's lips moved. He was really happy.

Today I not only saw the divine generals, but also saw them existing in history. As a fragment of a divine beast, he regarded himself as a comrade, a general who together with many great Yan people resisted the demons in the north.

Quietly wiping the corners of his wrinkled eyes, the old general continued to steady his figure.

In short, the Ten Thousand Demons Cave itself is layered with layers and there are many caves. Our army also re-measures the terrain every year to ensure that there will be no problems every time we enter the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.

Every year, it is necessary to clean up the demons born near the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, use the flames briefly obtained from the real fire to go to these newly born passages, and use the real fire to block all the passages. Only in the next year can we , to ensure that the Ten Thousand Demons Cave is safe and smooth.

What's more, after the new year is the fire ceremony, when the fire ceremony is over, it is the time for the Southern Expedition to set off to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave to clean up the demons and renew the fire.

The veteran looked at the undead man.

At that time, I will go to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave with the Lord General.

Um...

The immortals certainly had no objections to this arrangement.

As expected of a general, General Li Qing and Lord Liang Xun are not at the same speed in doing things.

However, Liang Xun was also restrained by the forces from the imperial court.

General Li was probably ready to go to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave when the Immortals were still in Shang Shu.

However, there is another question that the immortal wanted to ask before he arrived at Yumen.

I remember, and the army...

Ah, yes, the Southern Expeditionary Army, right?

General Li nodded, indicating that he still remembered it.

Your current position is the chief instructor of the Southern Expedition Army and the general of this Southern Expedition. Therefore, all the sergeants who go to Ten Thousand Demons Cave are members of the Southern Expedition Army. At present, we have selected more than a thousand people to go Soldiers from Ten Thousand Demons Cave. When all the soldiers are registered tomorrow, drills will be arranged.

one thousand.

The undead man silently recited the number and said nothing more.

He vaguely remembered that the number he heard at that time should be thirty thousand. I didn’t expect it to shrink so much now.

The old general didn't seem to notice anything wrong with this number, and immediately changed the topic to another issue.

General God, do you want to give a message to the soldiers to boost their morale?

Speaking in public is still a bit difficult for immortal people.

Mainly, he didn't know what to say.

So he still shook his head. He felt that he was not suitable for such a thing.

forget it.

Okay, then let's get rid of this link. Lord General Shen will have a good rest in the army. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the army and the people of Yumen Pass will celebrate the festival. Just enjoy the festive atmosphere these days. Recharge your batteries, just Waiting for the fire ceremony on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Good work.

The undead man thanked General Li. General Li shook his head and said to the undead man.

Then the general will leave first. There are still many details to be arranged in the army. The dog Li Mo will take the place of the general to take care of the general. What do you think?

Everything, keep it simple.

The undead have no special requirements.

Go ahead.

yes!

...

Coming out of the general's tent, Li Mo had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw the undead man, his eyes were full of excitement. When he greeted everyone with fists, his arms were shaking.

When Li Mo just saw the undead man, he couldn't speak. He stuttered for a long time, and finally only came out with one sentence.

God will be mighty!

Ling Henian laughed from behind, and Wengstein also deliberately took two steps slowly, leaving the undead man alone in front to walk with General Li.

Seeing how respectful Li Mo was to the undead, Wengstein thought of the past. As a dragon hunting knight, he was also like this among the silver knights, and he felt a little emotional.

It's quite nostalgic.

Nian and Ling have always been curious about Wenstein.

As a good friend of the immortal, Wengstein is also obviously an immortal species. He himself also said that he traveled to Great Flame a long time ago.

Since he is an immortal species, Wengstein is not an ancestor, and he has no obvious racial characteristics. We can only guess that he is not from this era.

Isn't that a friend that the dead person has known for a long time? Like him, living to this point?

Mr. Onstein, I have always been curious, what race are you?

Ling decided to ask around to satisfy his curiosity.

Wenstein turned his head, glanced down at Ling, and shook his head.

I am not of any race. I have no race now. I am just an ordinary person.

Since the Age of Fire disappeared, the so-called protoss before was just a race from the Age of Fire. Moreover, after losing the initial furnace, the remaining power in Wengstein's body cannot be called a god.

His understanding of himself has changed from a god to a taller ordinary person.

This was also one of his feelings after traveling in Terra for so long.

When a person lives in a completely unfamiliar environment and a completely unfamiliar social composition. His former identity meant nothing.

The proud dragon-hunting knight is just a name that has passed away with the old times.

Ordinary people who have lived for a long time, are you like this?

Ling nodded and did not ask further questions.

Everyone has their own secrets, and digging into them will only bore people.

Everyone walked under the leadership of Li Mo for more than 20 minutes before leaving the military area.

I continued walking along the only main road. After a while, I saw the lights in the distance gradually brightening, and there were many merchants hawking on the street.

If General God doesn't want to stay in the army, then find an inn in the city to rest. If you have any questions, you can come to me in the army at any time.

Li Mo found an inn for the Immortal and the others, and after registering the resident information, he said to the Immortal.

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so the army needs to prepare things for the first day of the Lunar New Year and the fire ceremony on the second day of the Lunar New Year. The Lord General only needs to come to the military area early on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

If there are no other important matters, the general will retreat first.

Go ahead, thank you for your hard work.

The undead man reached out and patted Li Mo on the shoulder.

Li Mo's body trembled, and his tone couldn't contain his excitement.

No hard work, no hard work, you have a good rest, I will retire eventually!

The undead man turned around to watch Li Mofeng leave in a dusty state, and then went upstairs with the house key.

Before going upstairs, he asked the front desk again.

Is there an iron basin and firewood?

The waiter at the front desk was a little confused, but nodded anyway.

Yes, I'll bring it to you in a moment.

311.New Year’s Eve

Wow! It's snowing!

Early in the morning, Nian was screaming in the house.

But most of the people in this room don't need sleep. So there is no so-called trouble of being woken up.

The undead and Onstein raised their heads by the bonfire. They woke up from their meditative rest, and then heard Ling, who was also sitting by the bonfire drinking, speaking.

It's not like you've never seen snow before, why are you so happy?

Ling stretched lazily. He hadn't finished the wine he drank yesterday, so he didn't need to go out today.

Nian stretched out his hand and touched it outside the window for a while, feeling the snowflakes falling on his palm, slowly melting, leaving a pool of water.

The change of seasons is a joy in itself. Moreover, if you stay in Shangshu for a long time, it is difficult to see snowflakes. In the city of Shangshu, there have always been only winter and summer, but there is no spring and autumn.

This sentence is not true. Shang Shu also has four seasons, but the time between spring and autumn is too short.

In Shang Shu, both cooling and heating are rapid. Therefore, you can easily see some people going out wearing down jackets in the morning, and young girls wearing short-sleeved shorts shopping in the afternoon.

Moreover, Shang Shu itself is easy to accumulate heat, and it is difficult to see snowflakes in winter. Even if it snows occasionally, it will never leave large snowdrifts on the ground like Longmen and Ursus.

Unexpectedly, it would snow in Yumen in the extreme south, and a layer of snow had already formed on the ground.

If you have the opportunity to go to the Great Wall and see it, you will understand what a desperate situation is.

Ling stood up from the ground, picked up his wine gourd, poured a sip into his mouth, then stretched out his hand to pull the somewhat messy collar, came to Nian's side, and looked out at the snowy scene with her.

It must have just snowed but not too long. Under the looming sunset, the desert that has just been covered with one or two layers of snow reveals golden sand dunes. They are shining together under the fiery red sunset.

Ling sighed, the Great Wall in her mind had fermented into its most beautiful appearance.

Of course, it's not that Yumen is not beautiful. It's just that there is a gap between such a quiet and peaceful atmosphere and such a vast and heroic desperate situation. However, compared with peace and war, a peaceful and prosperous age is better.

Ling rubbed Nian's head, turned around and sat down next to the bonfire, reaching out to dispel the chill he had just caught by the window.

The undead man also glanced in the direction of Nian.

This kind of snowy environment always reminds him of the time when he was in Kjerag, and even earlier, when he was in the world in the painting.

At that time, it was snowing like this, and there were Skati and Kiobe accompanying him.

I don’t know what Skadi is doing now, is he still looking for a way to cure the ghost shark?

Speaking of which, today is New Year's Eve.

Nian lay on the window sill, watching the people coming and going below early in the morning.

Even Yumen won't always maintain that serious atmosphere. Today is also a very casual day.

Don't think that soldiers won't have a holiday. Even if there is a fire ceremony the day after tomorrow, they will still have a rest on New Year's Eve. But there will still be some soldiers guarding the border towns to ensure safety.

Ling said.

It's the same in Shang Shu and Beijing. Even the Jin Yiwei will have some people resting and some people will draw lots to stand guard.

The undead have no idea about eliminating orders.

In his mind, New Year's Eve should be a special festival in Great Yan, just like the days of Casimir's Major, which can be regarded as a carnival every year, or every few years.

New Year's Eve, is it important?

The undead man asked, it would be interesting to know some other stories.
