1195. One step away

Ren Xiaosu stood on the tall wizard tower, leaning on a huge iron door, with the turbulent sea behind him and the rushing sea wind in front of him.

Xu Anqing stood in the wind, and the robe on his body and the brown leather armor covered under the robe were constantly fluttering by the sea breeze.

He stood at the top of the wizard tower with some doubts and confusion, and expressed confusion from the depths of his soul: "Where did this door come from?"

A long time ago, many wizards I have been troubled by the shortcomings of Keygate.

For example, a person can only open the key door once in his life, so many wizards are not allowed to open the key door when they are young, because this opportunity is likely to be wasted.

In the Holy Church organization, children like An An are not qualified to open the key door and must be 24 years old.

In fact, when An An was 9 years old, she had enough mental power to perform this witchcraft, but no one was willing to teach her the key door spell at this time.

It would be a shame if the key door she opened only led to the candy store.

An An once communicated with her father, and the little girl said: "What is the purpose of opening the key door?"

Chen Jiu, who had already opened his own key door at that time, said : "Some people are looking for a safe harbor for themselves, and some are looking for a pure land for themselves."

In fact, the key door of Chenjiu takes care of both. This wizard standing by the sea He built the tower with his own hands, and it became a haven for many underground people.

Ren Xiaosu saw farmland and shepherds outside the wizard tower. This place in an unknown corner of the world had become a new settlement.

At that time, An An asked: "Then if I open the door to the most famous candy house in Ghent, I will be very happy."

Chen Jiu's answer was: "You can't There is only happiness, and a qualified holy church must not regard stealing candy as happiness..."

Of course, this is just one of the shortcomings of Key Gate that bothers everyone, and more importantly: Key Gate Can't move.

Many wizards have tried, they want to modify the spell of the key door, and then turn the key door into a movable door that does not rely on external objects, so that everyone's life-saving means will be greatly increased.

But no matter how the wizards tried, the experiments all ended in failure.

However, now Ren Xiaosu provides the wizards with another option: Since you can't remove the Key Door, then take the Key Door's carrier with you...

What Xu Anqing was thinking was that the key door could be turned into an arbitrary door through hard-core physical means!

Xu Anqing repeated his question again: "Where did this door come from?"

Ren Xiaosu looked at Xu Anqing: "Wizards can open key doors. Of course, China also has its own Does it matter where the door comes from?"

Ren Xiaosu is right here.He was actually lying. To this day, he is the only one in the entire Middle-earth who has storage space.

It’s just that there’s no pressure at all to lie, after all, people in the Wizarding Kingdom can’t verify it.

This door was the one he used in the ordinary prison when he was rescuing Wang Yun in the Kong family. It was of no great use in itself, just so that it could sometimes be used to block bullets.

Normally, Ren Xiaosu would choose nano-robots to block bullets, but the little guys consume power too quickly and rely on biological energy to charge in their bodies. Sometimes, it can only last for 5 to 10 minutes of high-intensity battles after charging for 24 hours. , so Ren Xiaosu had to leave himself some simple backup tools... the kind that didn't consume electricity.

Ren Xiaosu looked at Xu Anqing: "What is the spell of the key door? Why don't you teach me how to open the key door first? I also want to know where I want to go most in my heart. "

Xu Anqing shook his head: "Don't learn the key door first, teach me how to dig out the door first..."

"You can't learn this thing. Yes," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile: "Hurry up and tell me how to recite the key door spell."

"In fact, the key door is the only one in the entire wizard system that does not require a spell. And the witchcraft of meditation charts," Xu Anqing said with a smile: "Xiao An'an had been pestering her father for so long and didn't know how to open the key door, but this method is extremely simple. She will be very angry when she knows the truth in the future. Just like when I first knew the truth."

"Oh?" Ren Xiaosu asked doubtfully: "You don't even need a spell?"

"Only a red level or above. The eye of true seeing, drop your blood on it, and then turn it 3600 degrees against the door in your hand, and the key door will naturally open," Xu Anqing said.

"So simple?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. 3600 degrees is ten circles. He was a little curious as to how the person who invented the key door discovered this rule.

Are you bored?

However, this witchcraft actually requires the Eye of True Seeing above the red level, which adds many restrictions. For example, Mego cannot open the Eye of True Seeing...

White, orange, red, gold, black, at this level, there are not many people who can open the key door.

Ren Xiaosu remembered that when he was at Vaduz Cathedral, the great wizard who presided over the ceremony only seemed to have a red eye of true seeing.

It must be said that the biggest difference between the wizard system and the extraordinary people of Middle-earth is that those spells were explored by wizards for generations and can be passed down forever.

"Do you want to try it now?" Xu Anqing said: "But you first need an Eye of True Seeing, which is not easy to get, and it has to be red level or above, which is even more complicated. It’s not easy. Maybe Chen Anan’s father is back and can help you... Hiccup!" Xu Anqing stared blankly at the Eyes of True Sight lying in Ren Xiaosu’s hand.They look like worthless candies in a candy store.

Just like Qian Weining and others had never seen the world before, even though Xu Anqing was a core member of the Holy Church, he had never seen so many eyes of true seeing in his life. Scene together.

Chen Jingshu knew what Ren Xiaosu had done in Winston City only after meeting Zhang Haoyun, so she had no chance to pass the news on.

At this time, Xu Anqing and others probably guessed what Ren Xiaosu had done, but they didn't know the details yet.

"Oh," Ren Xiaosu said calmly: "I don't need your help with the Eye of True Sight. I have quite a lot of it. By the way, if you open the key door, you will need a higher quality True Sight." Will the Eye of Sight have any effect on the magic? For example, can it be used farther away?"

"Um," Xu Anqing was stumped: "I really don't know."

Ren Xiaosu asked curiously: "Why, haven't you tried other true seeing eyes?"

At this time, Xu Anqing had already begun to curse in his heart. He had only touched a true seeing eye in his life. How can we know so much with just our eyes?

In other words, when others taught him how to do it, he just did it directly. Because the key doors they opened were different, no one could conclude any rules.

At this time, Ren Xiaosu asked again: "That Eye of True Sight can allow a wizard to open a key door for a lifetime. So if I have dozens of Eyes of True Sight, is it possible to open it? Doors with dozens of keys?"

Xu Anqing: "No!"

"Why doesn't this work? Have you tried it yourself?" Ren Xiaosu seemed a little dissatisfied.

Xu Anqing: "...I haven't tried it."

"Then you just heard it from hearsay," Ren Xiaosu said, "Why don't you try it."

Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and comforted: "My condolences."

Xu Anqing almost roared, "Why are you so sad? We all have one True Seeing Eye, right? You only have so many True Seeing Eyes in your hand."

Ren Xiaosu muttered: "I'll find out later if I try it."

As he said that, Xu Anqing saw Ren Xiaosu take out a black eye of true seeing, and Ren Xiaosu had never mentioned the Black Eye of True Seeing to anyone other than Mego before.

Xu Anqing started to stutter: "Black... black eye of true seeing?!" A good Eye of True Seeing test is better," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile: "Why do you look so shocked? Xiaoxia should have told you that a True Seeing Eye in Russell's hand was taken away by that knight. , isn’t it normal for it to appear in my hand?”

This black Eye of True Sight is like the last evidence to confirm Ren Xiaosu’s identity.

He took out a black knife and cut his thumb, draining the bloodThe liquid dripped on the stone, and then the stone was pressed against the steel door and rotated.

In an instant, the black eye of true seeing absorbed Ren Xiaosu’s blood.

The small black stone seemed to have a fiery temperature, and the purple eyes suddenly turned red.

Immediately afterwards, where the black stone came into contact with the iron door, it was slowly melted to create a perfectly fitting hole.

Red iron juice flowed out, and even sparks occasionally splashed down, but Ren Xiaosu could not feel the temperature of the Eye of True Sight at all, only feeling a little warm.

“The magic of creation is breathtaking,” Ren Xiaosu sighed.

After he turned the Eye of True Seeing ten times, Ren Xiaosu took off the black Eye of True Seeing, took out a golden one and dripped blood on it.

At this time, Ren Xiaosu was shocked to find that the golden Eye of True Sight no longer absorbed his blood.

"It really doesn't work," Ren Xiaosu said with some regret: "It would be great if we could open a few more key doors."

A person can only open one door in his life. are the rules of Keygate.

Xu Anqing looked at Ren Xiaosu and asked, "Where is behind your door?"

"I was just wondering," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "Please call my people." Come on, I have to be on guard against anyone doing anything before I go in."

Xu Anqing had no choice but to say, "Even if you don't trust me, you can still speak politely."

At this time, Mego said. He also entered the wizard tower through the underground tunnel, and Ren Xiaosu asked him, Xiao Xia, Qian Weining and others to guard the key door.

Ren Xiaosu confessed to Xiaomei: "I don't know where I will appear after passing through this door. It is said to be the place I want to go to most, but in fact I don't know where I want to go most. Where is it?"

This seems to be the most attractive thing about the Key Gate. It is difficult for everyone to analyze their own hearts, but the Key Gate will give you an answer directly.

After saying that, Ren Xiaosu stepped into the key door.

The next second, Ren Xiaosu silently looked at the environment in front of him and laughed. It turned out that... the place he wanted to visit the most was the small house on Anning East Road in Barrier No. 144.

The position where Ren Xiaosu walked out was on the wall next to the sofa in the living room, and everything in front of him was so friendly and reassuring.

He and Yang Xiaojin bought this place together, and then met Hu Xiaobai and Wang Yuexi.

They set up stalls and read books here, and Yang Xiaojin would buy food and cook for him like ordinary people.

They planted potato shooters and an almond tree in the backyard.

They whispered before going to bed through the thin wooden wall upstairs.

Ren Xiaosu once wandered in this world. He met many people. Some became friends, some became enemies, and some became passers-by.

In the end, what made him stop was not a glorious official residence, but this smallroom.

It turns out that this is the place he wants to go most. From now on, no matter where he is, he can go home anytime and anywhere through any door.

"Is there anyone there?" Ren Xiaosu shouted happily.

No one in the house responded. It seemed that no one had lived in the house for a long time.

However, Ren Xiaosu was not disappointed. Before returning here, he had guessed that Yang Xiaojin must be on the way to find him, so it was normal that he was not at Barrier 144.

It was already evening. Ren Xiaosu came to the backyard to check on the potato shooter. As a result, Hu Xiaobai in the next yard saw Ren Xiaosu walking out of the house. His jaw almost dropped to the ground in surprise: "Little Millet!"

Today should be a weekend. Hu Xiaobai had a day of rest at home. Taking advantage of the sunny weather, she put the quilts and mattresses in the yard to dry early. Now in the evening, it was time to collect the quilts. when.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the quilt and Sister Hu's face, making everything look particularly soft.

This made Ren Xiaosu feel as if he had never really left here, as if he should belong here.

"Good afternoon, Sister Hu," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "Why do you look so surprised?"

As a result, Sister Hu ignored him and ran away hugging the quilt. He entered the room and shouted: "Old Wang! Old Wang! Look who is back!"

Wang Yuexi's voice came from the house: "I am writing a document, please don't make a fuss." "Come on...it hurts, it hurts, please let me go!"

While speaking, Wang Yuexi was pulled out of the house by Sister Hu.

The moment Wang Yuexi saw Ren Xiaosu, he almost thought he was hallucinating: "Young Marshal? Why did you come back suddenly? They said you went to the wizarding country!"

Heihu, P5092's adjutant.

After the battle between Huo Zhong and Wang, Huo Zhong’s remaining main force retreated to the northern grasslands, and were eventually brought to the northwest by P5092. Now in the Sixth Combat Brigade, it should be Heihu and Zhang Xiaoman. The last word.

The reason why Ren Xiaosu didn't ask P5092 to come over, or to call Dahuyou and Wang Yun over, was because he knew that these people must also be on their way to the wizarding country.

Even, it may have arrived.

Ren Xiaosu was not just guessing, this was a tacit understanding between them.

Wang Yuexi hurriedly agreed: "Okay! I'll call them right away!"

Wang Yuexi stumbled into the room and ran to make a phone call, while Sister Hu He greeted Ren Xiaosu: "Xiaosu, come to our house. Sister will cook you some dinner. You must have not had dinner when you come back suddenly, right? What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Just a bowl of noodles. "Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.

As the sun set, more than a dozen military vehicles outside Barrier 144 passed through the gate.

That shocking moveThe posture on the ground aroused speculation among the residents, and those who didn't know thought they were trying to capture some spy leader.

More than a dozen military vehicles were all from the 6th Combat Brigade. A passerby was confused: "It's strange. When the young marshal is not in the city, the group of soldiers basically don't run into the city. Doesn't it mean that they are in the city?" Are the new recruits training? Why did they come to the fortress with such great force?"

At the same time, not only did the Sixth Combat Brigade come to Anning East Road to report, but Wang Fugui and Jiang Wu also came with them.

Anning East Road is no longer peaceful. The neighbors are curiously looking at these distinguished guests one by one. The streets and alleys are full of cars and it is very lively.

An aunt was sitting in front of her house choosing vegetables and said with a smile: "The last time there was such a big movement on Anning East Road was when the young marshal was caught."

"Will you? If you can talk, you can find the young commander, how can you catch the young commander?" Another aunt said scornfully.

"The young marshal didn't want to be a marshal at that time, but he was just the one who was caught and became a marshal," the aunt who was choosing the vegetables countered.

However, at this moment, the two old men who were playing chess next to them heard them chatting and suddenly stopped what they were doing: "Could it be that the young marshal is really back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the neighbors saw Zhang Xiaoman, the commander of the Sixth Combat Brigade, jump off the off-road vehicle, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Young Marshal, you are back, you fooled those killers He went to the Wizarding Kingdom with a thousand swords and left me alone at home!"

Following Zhang Xiaoman was Black Fox. The adjutant next to P5092 was obviously much more stable than Zhang Xiaoman.

The neighbors were shocked when they heard this voice: "Liu, have you ever opened your mouth? Is the young marshal really back?"

At this time Ren Xiaosu welcomed Zhang Xiaoman and others into Wang Yuexi's home. He looked at Heihu and said, "I had already gone to Fortress 178 when you came, so I didn't welcome you."

Heihu Black Fox said politely: "Young Marshal, you don't need to be polite, we are all familiar with him."

Black Fox knew exactly what Ren Xiaosu had done on the fire front.

Black Fox feels that anyone who knows how fierce this young marshal is will temporarily let go of their pride in front of him...

"How did you come back, young marshal? What a big lie." Where are they?" Zhang Xiaoman asked doubtfully.

Ren Xiaosu explained: "I came back through witchcraft, and I haven't joined up with the big fools yet."

"Witchcraft?!" Zhang Xiaoman suddenly became interested: " Marshal, can you teach me witchcraft?"

You know, Zhang Xiaoman now feels that anyone around him is an extraordinary person, which makes him a brigade commander. face.

And the most important thing is that he is not a transcendent person, so everyone does not take him to play with him when doing exciting things!

Ren Xiaosu took out two red eyes of true seeing and threw them to Zhang Xiaoman and Black Fox: "They are considered souvenirs brought back from the wizarding country.With him, you can become a wizard. This is a wizard's weapon. "

Zhang Xiaoman sighed: "The local specialties brought by the young commander are all so unique. "

"Okay, stop flattering me," Ren Xiaosu informed the two of them about the meditation and practice methods, and then asked, "Who is chasing you to the wizarding country?

Zhang Xiaoman said angrily: "Young Marshal's wife, your maid, Da Huyou, Ji Zi'ang, Wang Yun, P5092, and even that fair and fat man Xun Yeyu were all taken away." The Wizarding Kingdom, but the result was that they wouldn’t let me follow them. "

After hearing these words, Ren Xiaosu knew for sure. With this lineup of people who want to make a big splash in the northwest, the people in the Wizarding Kingdom would not be able to make a big splash in the northwest!

"Black Fox, the Fire Force. How is it getting along with the 6th Combat Brigade? "Ren Xiaosu asked.

Black Fox said: "We have to report this to the Young Marshal. After Commander P5092 brought us here, we were originally worried that the northwest would not welcome us, but Commander Zhang directly gave us the establishment. Now the Sixth Combat Brigade is already the Sixth Field Division. The Fire Force and the Sixth Combat Brigade are getting along very well. I have re-formulated the training direction of the Sixth Field Division based on the different arms. "

"Is there anything you don't feel comfortable with? "Ren Xiaosu asked.

"No," Black Fox said with a smile: "The current number of people in the battle order is 21,317, of which 3,021 are new recruits who have just been recruited into the army. Apart from these recruits, there is no way. Except on the battlefield, everyone else is in combat mode! "

"Very good," Ren Xiaosu nodded with satisfaction. It seems that he did the right thing by asking P5092 to abduct these fire troops to the northwest of Daxing: "I need all of you, except the new recruits, to enter quickly. combat readiness, and then stationed inside the 144th barrier. The area near Anning East Road is under military martial law, but please remember not to disturb nearby residents. "

"Understood! "Black Fox first received the combat order, and then asked his doubts: "Young Marshal, what does this mean? Waging war within the city? "

"It's not," Ren Xiaosu shook his head and smiled: "It's to launch a war against the wizarding country. ”

“How many basic supplies do you bring? asked the black fox.

Ren Xiaosu shook his head and said: "I don't know how to march and fight, so I will tell you the situation and you can judge: This battle should not require too many logistical supplies, and it needs to be face-to-face." The right enemy is a cavalry unit of more than 100,000, and there may be street fighting, or a defensive counterattack based on the city wall..."

Black Fox silently noted this: "I probably know it in my heart. , but I’m still a little confused, Marshal, why did you let us camp in the 144 barrier? On the way to the wizarding country, don’t we need logistical supplies? "

Ren Xiaosu smiled and shook his head: "No need, just come back and carry the supplies when you don't have enough. We are only one step away from the wizarding country. ”

When Ren Xiaosu discovered that his key door was open at Barrier No. 144,From that moment on, he knew what he should use to fight this battle.

The key door in my home is like opening in the face of the wizard. Originally, if the northwest wanted to send troops to the wizard country, it would have to cover thousands of kilometers, and the entire supply line would be a problem.

But it’s different now. The entire No. 144 barrier is their forward base, and the guns of the Sixth Field Division are really only one step away from the wizards.
