Chapter 188 Invitation

Having figured this out, Gu Shen didn't hesitate to hop onto the living fish's airship.

His quick change in attitude surprised even Fischer.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Gu Shen patted the cabin of the source energy craft vigorously and asked seriously, "Will there be no seats left if we're late?"

"..."

Fischer couldn't help but fall silent, then laughed, "Don't worry, though the opportunity to visit the underground research institute is rare, this time, they've definitely reserved enough space... Besides, before the 'visit,' we still have to go through the basic procedures."

Basic procedures.

That was the set routine of the banquet.

...

...

The miniature airship swayed in the air, leaving behind two wisps of ghostly flame.

"Little Gu."

Fischer, piloting the airship toward the banquet location, said, "Many important figures will be present at this banquet... You have to be mentally prepared."

He had just seen it.

Gu Shen's mailbox was almost bursting.

Gu Shen understood the living fish's good intentions, he gave a wry smile and muttered, "If it's just exchanging pleasantries, that's fine... But if they really invite me to dinner, I'll have a headache."

"That's hard to say."

Fischer said lightly, "Although those big shots are very interested in you, the disaster zone mission has just ended. At this time, they may not want to have too close a connection with you..."

This sentence had considerable depth.

"Oh?"

"Meng Xiao's death has already been reported." Fischer had a faint mocking smile on his face, and said, "Light City recently issued an obituary, and the Western Continent's Sentencer has already set off... It is said that the Light City's Great Knight 'Jia Wei' is leading the team."

Gu Shen showed surprise at just the right moment.

Seeing Gu Shen's expression, Fischer couldn't help but laugh again, "So, with Little Gu's intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult to guess... the reason why those big shots won't contact you too much."

Meng Xiao died, and the biggest suspect was Gu Shen...

After all, this Child of Blessing had many conflicts with Gu Shen before entering the disaster zone!

Before the Sentencer investigates the case, some "big shots" who like to win people over will not choose to have a "deep friendship" with Gu Shen... These Western Continent believers who believe in the light are unreasonable madmen. If they are stuck by the Sentencer, it will be a big trouble.

"Meng Xiao is dead..."

Gu Shen sat on the airship, his bangs were blown by the wind, he let out a long sigh, and then asked with a smile, "What does it have to do with me?"

"Of course, it has nothing to do with you."

Fischer said very cooperatively, "Even if this kind of scum who betrays his comrades is not dead, we will arrest him... The identity of the 'Child of Blessing' of Light City sounds scary, but it doesn't work in Central City."

After saying that, the living fish accelerated the speed of the airship, traveling through the clouds, flipping seven hundred and twenty degrees, and making a hearty and happy laugh!

During the disaster zone, the Holy Light of the Light God's throne once rippled and filled the entire Black River!

Everyone saw Meng Xiao's "invitation of God"!

This was undoubtedly a betrayal of the Empress of the Northern Continent... They could not allow such behavior, nor could they tolerate Meng Xiao's act of sacrificing his teammates. You must know that his followers were not all from Light City, but also the talents cultivated by the Northern Continent, but unfortunately, they were all crushed into powder with that beam of light!

It doesn't matter who Meng Xiao died in the hands of!

The important thing is, he is dead!

The tail flame of the airship spurted out.

Fischer shouted his heartfelt voice in the high sky with a big laugh: "Wuhu! Happy!"

Gu Shen also laughed.

No wonder he liked this guy so much the first time he saw [Living Fish]!

He and Fischer... were on the same path!

The airship swept through for a while, the speed slowed down slightly, and started a stable drive.

Fischer's expression became solemn: "By the way, there is one more thing... Do you remember? I originally wanted to contact 'Song Ci' of the Eastern Continent through you."

He looked at Gu Shen.

Gu Shen nodded.

Of course, he didn't forget this, it was what Fischer said to him just after the Battle of Gu Fort was over.

He had been keeping it in his heart, preparing to connect the line after returning to the Eastern Continent.

This city lord of the Deep Scale City is not only powerful, but also simple in mind. As fellow "Undying Ones," if he is introduced to Song Ci, the two will definitely become friends.

"At that time, I wasn't very familiar with you, Little Gu." Fischer said with a guilty face, "Now that we fight together, we are both comrades and comrades-in-arms. Please tell Song Ci of the Eastern Continent about this matter."

He paused and said, "Light City seems to care a lot about the bloodline owners of the 'Undying Ones'."

Gu Shen's pupils shrank slightly.

So Fischer... wanted to tell Song Ci about this!

Fischer said in a deep voice, "When I awakened the bloodline of the 'Undying One' that year, the Sentencer came to my door and invited me to go to Light City, saying that the Light God's throne was destined for me and was willing to invite me to the Western Continent with a generous gift."

Gu Shen's expression gradually became solemn. He knew that even if he had [Source Code] and could read a lot of information, this past event... could not be found in the [Database].

This was a private meeting.

"I directly rejected the Sentencer's invitation..."

Fischer said, "It's either a traitor or a thief who offers courtesy for no reason. Although I am stupid, I keep Lord Osmond's teachings in mind. I have no intention of serving any God's throne other than the Empress."

"But after the rejection... my spirit would occasionally fluctuate..."

Fischer said seriously, "I often see a 'book building' sinking at the bottom of a red lake, where countless books float, and a tall figure woven by thousands of remnants of light."

Book building?

The miracle land of Light City, the Forbidden Book Building?

"This is Light entering a dream..." Gu Shen frowned and murmured softly, "That Light God's throne contacted you through a dream?"

"Well, probably?"

Fischer thought for a while and answered like this.

When he said this, there was no hint of showing off on his face.

Ordinary mortals would be happy to be able to touch a wisp of God's will.

But at this moment, what was revealed on his face was real "disgust."

"Probably..." Gu Shen was slightly stunned and asked curiously, "In the dream, did the Light say anything to you?"

"It's embarrassing to say, but before I had time to say anything, the dream ended."

Fischer sighed, his voice helpless and getting lower and lower: "The Light figure standing in countless pages of books always waved to me, 'He' seemed to want me to walk into the pages and read the words in these pages... But, the thing I hate the most is reading. If it weren't for the fact that I'm not good at reading, I wouldn't have come to the fortress with Lord Osmond..."

Gu Shen was sincerely silent.

"So... under the constant waving of that figure, I said a word in anger. Since that day, this dream has never appeared again." Fischer coughed lightly, quite ashamed.

Gu Shen's eyes towards the living fish became complicated.

He tentatively asked, "Get lost?"

Fischer nodded, and at this time there was a bit of showing off in his voice: "Get lost!"

This was what he said to the Light God's throne back then——

Amazing.

Gu Shen recalled the "spiritual bewitchment" that Mu Wanqiu encountered in the Styx River. There were thousands of ways for God's throne-level figures to win over apostles... but probably none of them were as unsuccessful as the Light God's throne.

"Later, I slowly understood what that dream meant."

Fischer laughed and said, "I seem to have missed a big 'opportunity,' but I don't regret it at all, because my heart only beats for the Northern Continent... I only told Lord Osmond about this dream, except for you. But not long after I told Lord Osmond, Her Majesty the Empress ordered to bestow me with a seventh-order source armor. Since then, similar 'Light Dreams' have never appeared again."

After listening to these words from the living fish, some doubts that Gu Shen had in his heart disappeared.

On the giant wall of Gu Fort.

All the generals wear corresponding rank source armor.

Only Fischer was different. Only his source armor was seventh-order, the top-level source armor that could only be worn by titles!

At that time, he thought that Fischer's mutated body was not good and needed special exoskeleton devices for support... Now it seems that this is not the case, this is a gift from the Empress!

The one on the second floor of the pavilion obviously used some means to help this Northern Continent subordinate shield the "interference" of Light City.

"You should thank Lord Osmond well."

Gu Shen said this sentence from the bottom of his heart.

This seventh-order source armor must have been obtained by Osmond asking Her Majesty the Empress... At that time, Fischer had no merit or record, and this eye of the legion was really indispensable to become the famous general of the Northern Continent today.

"That's for sure."

Fischer smiled modestly and said seriously, "Without him, there would be no me."

He paused and said seriously, "The reason why I want to contact 'Song Ci' of the Eastern Continent is because the number of 'Undying Ones' is too small... After experiencing the Light Dream incident, I have been paying attention. However, the Northern Continent has not seen an 'Undying One' for a long time. I am afraid that Light City has been looking for 'Undying Ones' all these years, and is hiding the news."

Gu Shen nodded slowly.

"Song Ci became famous in the Battle of the Capital."

Fischer said word by word, "Although he is Mr. Gu Changzhi's 'Apostle', you still have to be careful now... Maybe Light City is still staring at him. Those Sentencers who follow the will of Light seem to have a paranoid pursuit of 'Undying Ones'."

Hearing this, Gu Shen's mood became complicated.

The situation in the Eastern Continent was not optimistic at the beginning.

Being able to ask for an "Apostle" can be regarded as relieving the urgent need, how can you think so much?

After the Battle of the Capital, Song Ci's identity as an apostle was generally considered by the Five Continents to be under the Throne of Battle.

Now it seems.

The granting of the "Apostle" token is more like a net that has been set up long ago.

"Understood, I will tell him."

Gu Shen nodded solemnly.

Fischer's information was very important, but unfortunately, the living fish did not know that Duke Zhenyue, Meng Xiao, was also an Undying One.

Gu Shen vaguely felt that Light City was weaving some secret and huge plan.

But... what is the purpose of that God's throne so actively searching for and recruiting "Undying Ones"?
