"I didn't want to disturb your reunion, but there's something I have to tell you. I've been asked to do so by someone." Bai Dongxue gestured at the giant airship behind her.
Li Xiang and Li Yetong looked at each other before following her onto the airship.
Bai Heavy Industries was indeed the number one machine company after Wessex. Just the production of this airship alone allowed Li Xiang to feel the maturity of Bai Heavy Industries in the field of machinery.
When it came to large-scale machinery used by humans, it required the cooperation of many Mechanics. The armored steam locomotive that was still talked about was the best example.
Countless generations of machinists worked hard to create this batch of pioneers in the transportation industry. The latest generation of armored steam locomotives had extremely high defense and could even withstand the explosive attacks of players. It was clear that the development of the machinery industry was not inferior to that of the players.
"Wessex has always been at the top. They have the technology to extract Origin Substance and monopolize the only source of energy. I heard that Duke Silo plans to combine the various resources gathered in the Sky Arena and establish a machinist organization similar to the Chronometer Tower. Perhaps this will be a major revolution in human history." Bai Dongxue seemed to have seen through Li Xiang's feelings. She smiled as she walked. "To be honest, I admire Duke Silo a lot. In my heart, he's second only to the White King."
"I can understand. As a player, it's normal that you don't think that machines are superior to magic." Li Xiang nodded. Bai Dongxue did not know that Duke Silo had been researching machines all these years. His father, Lancelot, had also found a way to create Disaster Weapons.
At the current stage, Duke Silo's idea of using machines to replace warriors and gradually replace humans in fighting Disasters and Mutants was still rather naive. Not to mention combat strength, maintenance, production, repair, control, and a series of other problems had not been solved yet. Rather than spending time in this area, it was more practical to nurture more human Magicians and players.
In addition, the strongest weapons that players could use were the Disaster Weapons that were difficult for humans to create. While it was true that under the efforts of Duke Silo and Wessex, mechanical weapons had been constantly improved and displayed rare power, they were still far inferior to the Disaster Weapons.
If this was not solved, his machines would never be able to fight Disasters head-on.
Even if he had never fought Disasters, Li Xiang knew that the difference between players and Magicians was like heaven and earth.
This was the difference between Origin Substance weapons and Disaster weapons.
However, the appearance of the Disaster Weapon Black Sovereign King, the Queen of Pain, who was modeled after Bai Lili, and Cecilia, who had been modified into a hybrid between a machine and a human, had already revealed the answer to these two questions.
The future was promising.
"But that doesn't affect my admiration for Mechanics, especially for a Gunner like you who can create bullet guns. Bullet guns are the best weapon to counter Disaster weapons other than Disaster weapons. They're amazing," Bai Dongxue praised sincerely. Unfortunately, he did not have much talent in firearms.
He had also tried to use a bullet gun, but it required too much control. He had to devote most of his time to the cultivation of a player's class. He wouldn't spend any more time on a single combat skill.
"You flatter me." Li Xiang chuckled.
The three of them walked into the meeting room.
Li Yetong watched Bai Dongxue cautiously. After all, this cousin of hers had once said that he wanted to kill Li Xiang. The more time she spent with him, and the more pointers she received from him, the more Li Yetong admired Bai Dongxue.
The title of the number one person of the younger generation was not something that could be obtained easily.
His talent, combat ability, understanding, and so on far exceeded the average genius. Just as he said, before she appeared, Bai Dongxue had been in a state of being alone for a long period of time.
He even had to suppress himself to fight Bai Ling and Bai Lihu. Only then could he have some fun in battle. But even so, they still couldn't catch up to him.
This led to Bai Ling going into seclusion.
She tried her best and finally saw Bai Dongxue's back. This was even more painful than being defeated.
So all this time, he had been fighting them in such a state.
If such a person became an enemy, it would definitely make them unable to eat or sleep in peace.
"Xintong, didn't you use the Book of Prophecy to make a few predictions? Why, are you still worried about me? "Bai Dongxue smiled as he poured tea for the two of them. He looked like a kind older brother.
Ye Tong's cheeks turned red. She knew that some of her thoughts had been seen through.
Yes, she had predicted countless times that Bai Dongxue would not make a move. But she always felt that if he wanted to, he could kill Li Xiang now.
It was as if the outcome of the Book of Prophecy was not one, but depended on Bai Dongxue's judgment.
"You should believe in the Book of Prophecy, and you should believe in your own abilities. The difference in our levels is too great. It's normal for you to feel a sense of danger. But the reason why the Book of Prophecy is remembered among all the disaster weapons is because it has never been wrong. "Bai Dongxue smiled.
"I don't think so. There's no unchanging outcome. Whether fate exists or whether omniscience and omnipotence are truly unsolvable is still uncertain. Even if that's the case, I won't believe it. Otherwise, how boring would life be? " Li Xiang was a transmigrator. His understanding of space-time was different from everyone else. He believed in fate, but at the same time, he did not believe in it.
"Back to the topic. Xintong should have predicted what I want to say. It's about Lighthouse Academy and the Gate of the Abyss." Bai Dongxue stirred the tea in his cup and looked at the two of them.
Li Yetong's heart skipped a beat. She had come for this. Or rather, she had been constantly predicting for her brother since a long time ago. She had expected this day to come.
Her coming to Lighthouse Academy was fate. It was also the result of her prophecy.
"The person who asked me to inform you was Baimiya. That girl is too troublesome, but I owed her a favor a long time ago." Bai Dongxue looked at Li Xiang and said calmly, "I don't know how many times you've heard it, or how many people have told you this. I'll only say it once, and it's also the last time. Leave this place and return to the Bai family. I'll ensure your safety."
Ye Tong's heart skipped a beat. She turned to look at Li Xiang.
"Players are in another world. And above Level 7 is a whole new world. Even I have not come into contact with it. Among the people you're relying on, the highest level is Magician Jeffrey, who has one foot in the grave, and Dark Night's Shadow, who has just entered Level 7. " Bai Dongxue stood up and said coldly, "Did Dark Night's Shadow make many strange decisions after he reached Level 7?"
She advised him to stay in Rose Garden or fight to the death.
"Yes."
"If I were to say that in this world, in the Seven Continents, the Five Kings are not the highest level, would you believe me?" Bai Dongxue suddenly lowered her voice.
This time, even her voice was trembling.
"I believe you." Li Xiang looked up. He suddenly thought of Yue Xingling who had let it slip the other day.
"Xintong has also used the Book of Prophecy to make a prophecy, right? What was the result?"
He looked at Ye Tong again.
Li Ye Tong was silent. She could not describe the great terror and the unknown that was beyond her perception.
But her expression had already proved everything.
"I only know a little, but I can tell you clearly that Polar night's Magician will definitely fall. The death of a Level 9 existence will leave behind a large number of 'Magic Dust Crystals'. It's a fatal temptation to Level 3 Magicians like you. Because the Magic Dust Crystals can increase the chances of you communicating with the player's carrier. The more, the better. You can imagine, when he falls, what will happen to this place?
"I don't know why Polar night is targeted by that level, but according to some of the details that Second Uncle revealed, Polar night and Lighthouse Academy have been targeted for a long time. If you don't leave, how can any eggs remain intact when the nest is overturned? "
Bai Dongxue took a deep breath and did not say anything.
"Thank you for your kindness. But if you want me to leave this place, leave Polar night, and abandon them just because of this, I can't do it. "
"Brother." Li Ye Tong grabbed the corner of her clothes. She wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, she smiled and looked up. "I believe you. The Book of Prophecy said that you will walk down the loneliest path after this. I have always wanted to stop you, but when I saw you today, I suddenly remembered something from when I was young.
"Do you remember Yu Zhitong? And everyone in the orphanage. We lived in that kind of place, unable to see the light of day. No matter how sad it was, none of us felt that we could escape with our small and weak bodies. But you, you didn't seem to think so from the beginning. Even Yu Zhitong did not have the confidence, but you did. You even did.
"So far, that memory is the one that is rooted in the darkest fear in my heart. It is irreplaceable. But you brought me out. Compared to this, is there anything more difficult to achieve?"
Li Ye Tong smiled.
This was the reason why she had no reason to trust Li Xiang all this time.
In the beginning, even Bai Dongxue could not understand why Li Ye Tong would be so sure and trust Li Xiang.
In the eyes of a normal person, Li Xiang's life had ended at that moment because he did not come to the Bai family like her. The Death Magic Circuit had awakened. Without any background or resources, he could not even enter a good player's university.
Who would have thought that more than a year later, he could sit here and talk to her?
Only Li Ye Tong stubbornly believed. That was why she chose to go back to the Bai family with them without looking back. She did not help Li Xiang at all.
Pure trust was simply an unreasonable gamble.
But he had come this far, step by step.
Because no one could understand how much Li Ye Tong, who did not even have a wheelchair and could only rely on Li Xiang's back to survive, was afraid of this dark place. She yearned to leave, but did not even dare to think about it.
And she had already been redeemed.
Compared to those days, the life of walking on thin ice in the Bai family was nothing. The scene that everyone was afraid of was nothing.
He would definitely make it.
She almost became one of the people who did not trust him, but the moment they hugged, she recalled those days, her brother's reliable and warm back.
"I now understand how that girl Baimiya felt. You are a madman. Xintong, no, Li Ye Tong is also a madman. And Dong Ling, Ming Xu, they are all madmen who do not care about their lives. Three madmen. No wonder she was about to go crazy. " Bai Dongxue laughed heartily, then looked at Li Xiang meaningfully. "Very well, you are much more exciting than I expected. Before Ye Tong matures, I hope you can become a good opponent."
.....
Ye Tong was forcefully taken away by the curious Enchantress, Shizuko, and the others. Li Xiang could only return to the dorm alone.
He learned a lot from his conversation with Bai Dongxue. As expected of the number one person of the younger generation, Bai Dongxue's pride and demeanor were indeed impressive.
Also, his way of doing things.
He had been tricked by Li Xiang and Nidri in Houcheng, and he had not mentioned a word about it until this meeting. However, the cleaners had targeted the Scarlet Moon several times, and that was his strong counterattack.
A silent dog's bite is painful.
Bai Dongxue was like that. He owed Baimiya a favor, so he did not hide anything from this meeting. With the Bai family as his core, even if he did not like Li Xiang, he still sincerely invited him home and treated him as an elder brother.
This kind of person was a true opponent.
Li Xiang looked forward to fighting him after becoming a player, but before that, the matter of the Gate of the Abyss was getting more and more urgent. Unfortunately, he could not contact the disaster who had signed a spirit contract with him. If what Finis said was true, then there must be a deep bond between him and her.
He might be able to get a lot of information about the Gate of the Abyss from her.
Next was the … Emperor Clan that Bai Dongxue mentioned.
Was it a race, a group of people, or something else?
Clearly, to be able to make him wary, to make Xuanyue and Yue Xingling panic, and to be above the Five Kings, it was definitely not an ordinary thing.
From Bai Dongxue's tone, the Emperor Clan wanted to deal with Polar night and Lighthouse Academy. They saw them as a thorn in their side, so they arranged for the White King to keep stepping on the school?
But he felt that it did not make sense.
To be able to surpass the Five Kings, they had to be at least Level 9. If they had that kind of power, how could they resist Polar night and Lighthouse Academy?
Although the Polar night Mage was strong, he was alone. Even if the Five Kings attacked together, he would definitely not be a match for them, let alone the mysterious Emperor Clan.
Why go through so much trouble?
There must be something that he did not know about.
But the direction of things could be predicted. Once the Gate of the Abyss exploded, the Polar night Mage would definitely intervene. With the interference of the Emperor Clan, even if there were people who wanted to help, they would be powerless.
There was also a large group of people who were eyeing the Magic Dust Crystals gathered here. The situation was indeed not good.
Along the way, the Polar night had given him endless help and support. Li Xiang would definitely not run away at this moment. Since he could not escape, then he would face it.
Just as Ye Tong had said, what could be scarier than those days of darkness?
Li Xiang lay on the bed, clenching his fists and looking at the transparent ceiling. The black sky seemed to have covered the entire world. Light could not penetrate the clouds. This was the usual scene of the Dead Sea.
And the First Lighthouse stood in the middle of the Dead Sea, becoming the only source of light here, constantly providing them with light and guidance.
Those faint lights looked like they would be extinguished at any time, but they were still burning, never stopping for a moment.
"We use flesh and blood as fuel, bones as torches, and life as lamps to illuminate everything and guide humanity forward."
In Polar night, everyone was equal.
