Chapter 817 Visiting Minglou

A battlefield outside the territory, in a war zone.

This is a battle zone similar to the Vanguard Battle, dominated by the fifth-grade. Here, two fifth-grades occupy the dominant position.

Zhong Minglou, who is the commander of the war zone, and Fan Lu, another fifth-level wizard, is the leader of the killing team.

"Bu Ren, this is all the information we have now." Fan Lu transmitted the large amount of information he had compiled to Zhong Minglou through the 'Alliance'.

Fanlu is a dancer, with a delicate and elegant appearance, a tall and slender figure. She is a beauty in every aspect, and judging from the capable and agile posture of the other party, she can handle these things with ease, which is completely unlike her. He is the person with the responsibility of 'Palm Killing'.

However, she was still wearing a long skirt commonly worn by dancing girls, with the slit reaching her thighs, adding a bit of charm to her delicacy.

However, all this is of no use because Zhong Minglou is blind.

Zhong Minglou, who was blindfolded, could not see anything, but having reached the fifth level, he could already pretend that he could see. He slightly nodded at Fan Lu and said, "Thank you for your hard work... Zhang Lu obviously doesn't need it. I feel so guilty for doing so much but still tiring you out.”

"It doesn't matter, it's all just to be able to resist humanity. Rather, I'm lucky to be able to follow Divination." Fan Lu smiled and didn't care.

She really thought so from the bottom of her heart, because following Zhong Minglou, it was so easy to do things.

Although it is necessary to serve as a commander at the same time and undertake some of the paperwork and data collection work that a command should have, after taking over these tasks, Zhongming Tower can play a huge role.

He almost predicted the future in this war, anticipated every detail of the war, made arrangements in advance, and achieved "complete victory."

That's right, in this war zone controlled by Zhong Minglou, Wu Dao's record was a complete victory. The opponent's humane general suffered a total defeat, and finally had to withdraw in despair and was replaced by a seasoned general who was as good as a tortoise shell.

Although it is a bit disrespectful to say it is a turtle shell, it is indeed very appropriate. In the current confrontation situation, the other party is strictly guarding and defending, so that Zhong Minglou cannot figure out any flaws.

Zhong Minglou couldn't find any flaws, which shows that at the fifth level, the opponent has indeed achieved no flaws and perfect defense.

Therefore, this war zone can be said to be very peaceful, so peaceful that ordinary people almost forget that they are at war. Except for daily border defense, normal production has almost resumed.

In fact, this is already very good. If we can keep it like this and delay a large number of humanitarian troops to defend here, then it will be enough.

Moreover, Fanlu also knew that for Zhong Minglou, this situation seemed to be exactly what he wanted.

"By the way, there is another not-so-good news this time. The fortune tellers should already know it, right? With your ability, you might know it earlier than me." Fan Lu said.

"Yes, I already know. It's a trivial matter. To be honest, you don't need to mention it specifically." Zhong Minglu smiled, as gentle as ever. Although he couldn't see his eyes, he could still imagine his eyes.

"Is it a trivial matter? If it is really a trivial matter, why did the fortune teller know about it in advance?" Fan Lu asked.

This left Zhong Minglou speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

However, he just shook his head: "Don't worry, this matter will not interfere with the war."

"I believe this, it's just... that's all, people have their own sense of propriety, so I won't say more and say goodbye." Fan Lu shook his head and then left.

After all, she is the captain of the Palm Killer, and she still has many, many things to do outside. Although the workload has been greatly reduced because of Zhong Minglou, she still has it.

As for what she just told Zhong Minglou, it was already public news. Many people knew about it, so she mentioned it to Zhong Minglou specifically.

Speaking of which, it's just a trivial matter. Many years ago, Zhong Minglou had a lover, but... the other person was a humane commoner.

That happened a long, long time ago. At that time, Zhong Minglu was still a student. He once went to Chang'an to study abroad. When he was studying in Taixue, a young master named Li Qi hired a humane civilian named Li Qi to take care of him. "Lan Yanlong" works as a caregiver for Zhongming Tower.

This nurse worked as a caregiver for a long time, and later, the two of them even got together.

However, after the war between humans and witches broke out, Zhong Minglou clearly asked her opinion and wanted to ask her if she was willing to leave the human world and be with Zhong Minglou.

The answer was no.

So Zhong Minglou left Taixue and returned to Wushen Mountain. There was no contact with him again after that. However, thousands of years later, perhaps by coincidence, Zhong Minglou met him again on this battlefield.

The other party appeared on the battlefield as a logistics nurse, responsible for taking care of the wounded.

Of course, this encounter was in the form of a corpse. In a command operation, Zhong Minglou used clear and capable command and quick and effective attacks to quickly destroy the fortress of humanity.

Zhong Minglou is the young master of Wushen Mountain. He is now at the fifth rank. He is the commander of the war zone. He has dozens of world groups under his command. He commands billions of worlds and confronts humane generals head-on, and wins a complete victory.

Such a record, so dazzling, so proud, even the attempt of evacuation by Humanity failed completely, and was finally wiped out.

When they were cleaning up the battlefield and sorting out the corpses, they discovered Lan Yanlong.

Zhong Minglou watched his captain leave. To be honest, he was very grateful to him. If he hadn't taken the initiative to undertake a lot of paperwork that he really couldn't handle and gave him a headache, he wouldn't have been able to achieve the same record as now.

But...

Zhong Minglou knew that there must be a lot of casualties behind it. Now it was just an acquaintance who was killed or injured, and it was an acquaintance from many years ago.

However, this made him sigh.

He seemed to have realized something from it.

He looked at the world in the distance. In fact, Lan Yanlong was not that important to him. It was a matter of youth, not to mention that they had already parted ways because of different paths.

But when Lan Yanlong's body was examined, a strange feeling still rose in his heart.

He knew clearly that facing death was inevitable for everyone involved in the war. It was okay for those high-ranking people like them. Although there were also fifth-rank casualties, the casualty rate was actually not high.

But for those ordinary people who participated in the war, war was an unbearable pain no matter what, and it was a terrible monster that could not be understood and controlled.

This monster will continue to devour life and spit out death, and finally destroy everything before it ends.

However, he is now a part of this monster, and he cannot get away.

Zhong Minglou suddenly realized... that his divination of danger is too immature.

Sometimes the real danger is never the kind of cliffs that are obvious at a glance, nor the abyss that is bottomless, but it looks beautiful from a distance, with a vague path under your feet, winding to the top that looks like a mirage.

The prospect of victory in the war is that "mirage".

And the process of the war is that seemingly harmless winding path.

Only when you really step on it, you will know the danger.

When watching the victory of Wu Dao, the war is a refreshing article, the blood and tears are all the enemy's, and the refreshing is your own. The so-called war is just when you read the newspaper, brushing one victory report after another, and even skipping it directly because you are tired of reading.

But when they fight, they will find that there is no difference between the two sides. No matter whether they win or lose, the feelings of both sides are almost the same. No one will not feel pain.

Zhong Minglou sighed. He actually didn't have too many memories of Lan Yanlong. After all, those decades of memories were nothing compared to his thousands of years of life.

But this sudden killing of an acquaintance with his own hands still made him feel the feelings of the grassroots soldiers.

In fact, he didn't have any feelings before. Zhong Minglou has always been a very dull person. He has a natural ability to predict the future, so he was chosen by the big fortune teller to become a disciple. This also caused him to have a gap with ordinary people since he was a child. His natural god-like personality, coupled with the characteristics of blindness, made him incompatible with ordinary people.

Lan Yanlong was the first person to break this gap, but later they separated because of a dispute.

Now this feeling hits his heart, and he has also made recent changes.

Yes, the tortoise shell of humanity today is actually arranged by him.

He made himself an ‘invincible’ persona, so that humanity would not start a war without authorization, at least in his own war zone, it would not be so intense.

All of these are actually the same as playing cards. The cards that really lose money are never completely bad cards, but often good cards that “look” good.

As long as the other party is discouraged, many fearless sacrifices can be avoided.

This is the goal that Zhong Minglou is working hard for at this stage.

If it is like the ‘Vanguard Battle’ that was used as a victory in the early propaganda, it would not be good.

The Vanguard Battle was fought by his friend Li Qi. The intensity of the battle report made Zhong Minglou frown. If he came, he would never start the blood sacrifice like Li Qi and force it.

While thinking about these, Zhong Minglou suddenly received a request in the ‘Alliance’.

Someone is coming to visit.

Or an old friend he just thought of.

Li Qi.

What he said came true.

He agreed to the request.

Then the next moment, he saw Li Qi appeared in front of him.

"Hey, Minglou." Li Qi smiled and sat next to Zhong Minglou.

"Li Qi, you seem to have won another game recently, right? You are awesome, you have been in charge of two war zones." Zhong Minglou did not seem to be unfamiliar with him, but treated Li Qi as an old friend as always.

They are indeed old friends. After all, they have been communicating and maintaining friendship since they were young, and it has been maintained until now.

"What's so awesome about that? You lost miserably." Li Qi shook his head.

"... Well, after hearing what you said, you also feel that this war is meaningless, right?" Zhong Minglou keenly perceived the meaning of Li Qi's words.

Li Qi shook his head, took out a few plates of snacks and put them on the table: "War is essentially just an extension of the struggle of Taoism. If the struggle of Taoism does not end, the war will not end. You also know how much the existence of a first-grade will change the balance of power between the two sides. If the witch Taoism succeeds, the endless expansion of humanity outside the domain will probably stop."

Zhong Minglou naturally picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite first: "That's true, but it doesn't stop me from thinking that this war shouldn't be fought, and you came here for this reason, this war is not good for anyone, you have commanded two wars, one of which was a battle for the Holy Emperor's ruins, the intensity of which should be much higher than that of ordinary extraterritorial war zones. If you say that you have never had any heartache, I don't believe it."

Li Qi smiled bitterly: "As expected of Minglou, you are still so sharp, then guess what happened to me?"

Zhong Minglou counted with his fingers: "If I guess, it should be relatives and friends because of this And something happened, right? And it's not just ordinary relatives and friends, but close relatives. Your parents are not here, only your wife, daughter and master are here. Zhu Da Wu has great magical powers, so it is impossible for anything to happen. The problem must be with your wife and daughter. Let me guess... Your wife and daughter have come to an end that you don't want to see?"

"But... Interesting, I can't even deduce what the situation is, and I can't see the cause and effect line on you. You shouldn't deliberately cover me up, so, is it the situation that has appeared in the Taoist traditions of the nine lands in the world?"

"It's the devil, my daughter, Li Shiwei, has been possessed by the devil." Li Qi saw that the other party's guess was almost right, so he didn't keep it a secret and told the story directly.

It's rare for a witch to not keep a secret.

Hearing this, Zhong Minglou was stunned. He froze for a moment, and even the snacks he was chewing didn't move.

After a long time, Zhong Minglou sighed to the sky: "Alas, this is war, why bother, Li Qi, you used to stand firmly on the side of the war and pushed the war process with all your strength, did you expect it to be like this today?"

Zhong Minglou sighed, he seemed to be able to clearly understand Li Qi's feelings, Li Qi also let his daughter get into trouble in the war.

"As for the past, I can only say that if I had it to do again, I would still do it." Li Qi said.

"That's right, with your firm heart of Taoism, you will never regret the choice you made at the time. By the way, your pastry is actually from Chang'an, have you been to Chang'an?" Zhong Minglou asked curiously.

At this time, Li Qi took out a piece of traditional pastry from Chang'an, which was amazing.

"When I confronted the human way before, I went to Chang'an to sit for a while. You know, I always love to eat, so I bought some to take with me." Li Qi said.

Zhong Minglou seemed to be thinking: "So that's why you came to see me this time? You are a fourth-rank official now, you can't just come to me to reminisce about the past, right?"

"It's also because of my daughter's matter. I want you to introduce me to your master... the great fortune teller, I want him to help me deduce Shi Wei's matter."

"Minglou, this is all I ask." (End of this chapter)
