A+ A- Turn Off Light

Ren Xiaosu stood on a tall sorcerer’s tower with a huge iron door, behind him was the raging sea, and in front of him was the sea wind that rushed like waves.

Xu Anqing stood in this wind, and the robe on his body, as well as the brown leather armor that was covered underneath the robe, were all constantly tossed by this sea breeze.

He stood at the top of this sorcerer’s tower with some doubt and bewilderment, and let out a confused voice from the depths of his soul, “Where did this door come from?”

A long time ago, many sorcerers had been plagued by the shortcomings of the Gate of Keys.

For example, a person could only open it once in their lifetime, so many sorcerers were not allowed to open the Key Gate when they were young, as this opportunity would most likely be wasted.

Within the Sacred Church organization, for example, children like An An were not qualified to open the Key Gate and had to reach the age of 24.

In fact, when Ann was 9 years old, her spiritual power was enough to cast this sorcery, but no one was willing to teach her the Keygate spell at this time.

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

Ann had exchanged words with her father, and the young girl had said, “What is the purpose of opening the Keygate?”

Chen Jiu, who had already opened his own Key Gate at that time, said, “Some people look for a safe harbor for themselves, while others look for a pure land for themselves.”

In fact, Chen Jiu’s Key Gate was both, and the Sorcerer’s Tower that stood on the seashore was built by his own hands, which then became a harbor for many underground people.

Ren Xiaosu had seen farmland and shepherds outside the Sorcerer’s Tower, and this unknown corner of the world had become a new settlement.

At that time, An asked, “Then I would be happy if I opened the door to the most famous candy house in Ghent City.”

Chen Wine’s reply was, “One can’t have only happiness in this life, and a qualified Sanctuary should never steal candy as happiness ……”

Of course, this was just one of the drawbacks that plagued everyone at the Keygate, and more importantly: the Keygate couldn’t be moved.

Many wizards had tried, they wanted to modify the spell of the Key Door, and then make the Key Door into a movable door that didn’t rely on external objects, so that everyone’s means of saving their lives would be greatly increased.

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

However, now Ren Xiaosu gave the wizards another option: since you can’t move the key door, then take the carrier of the key door along with you. ……

Ren Xiaosu thought to herself that this was probably the true meaning of taking the door and running away.

And what Xu Anqing thought in his heart was that the Gate of Keys this could be turned into an arbitrary door through hardcore physical means ah!

Xu Anqing repeated his question once again, “Where did this door come from?”

Ren Xiaosu looked at Xu Anqing: “Wizards can open the Key Gate, of course, the Middle Kingdom also has its own means, where does the door come from matter?”

Here Ren Xiaosu did lie, to this day, the entire Middle Kingdom can have the storage space is only him.

Only to tell a lie to a little pressure is not, after all, the sorcerer country people and can not be verified.

This door or when he saved Wang Yun in the Kong Clan, in the ordinary prison by the way, itself left is not a big use, is to sometimes can be used to block the bullet.

Normally Ren Xiaosu block bullets will choose nanobots, but the little guys consume power too fast, relying on bioenergy charging in the body, sometimes charging 24 hours can only support 5 to 10 minutes of high intensity fighting, so Ren Xiaosu always have to leave himself some plain backhand …… not power consumption kind.

Ren Xiaosu looked at Xu Anqing, “What is the spell of the key door? How about you teach me how to open the Gate of Keys first? I’m also curious to know where the place I most want to go within me is.”

Xu Anqing shook her head, “Don’t you learn the Gate of Keys first, teach me this ability to pull out a door first ……”

“You won’t be able to learn this stuff,” Ren Xiaosu said with a smirk, “Hurry up and tell me how to chant the Gate of Keys spell.”

“As a matter of fact, the Gate of Keys is the only sorcery in the entire sorcerer system that doesn’t require an incantation or a meditation chart,” Xu Anqing said with a smile, “Little An An didn’t know how to open the Gate of Keys even after she had pestered her father for so long in the first place, but it’s incredibly simple, so she’s going to be furious when she learns the truth later on, just like I was when I learned the truth. of it, just like I was when I first learned the truth.”

“Oh?” Ren Xiaosu said doubtfully, “Doesn’t it even require a spell?”

“All that’s needed is a Red-grade or higher Eye of True Sight, drop your blood on it, and then rotate it 3,600 degrees by sticking it against this door in your hand, and the Key Door will naturally open,” Xu Anqing said.

“That simple?” Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, 3600 degrees was ten turns, he was a little curious as to how the person who invented the Gate of Keys discovered this law in the first place.

Was it just idle boredom?

However, this sorcery surprisingly also requires a red level or higher of the Eye of True Sight to work, which adds a lot of limitations, for example, Mego can’t open the Eye of True Sight ……

White, orange, red, gold, and black, with this level, there weren’t really many people who could open the Gate of Keys.

Ren Xiaosu remembered that when he was in the Vaduz Cathedral, the great sorcerer who presided over the ceremony seemed to have only taken a red Eye of True Sight.

It had to be said that the biggest difference between the sorcerer system and the Middle-Earth Transcendents was that those spells were explored by the sorcerer’s ancestors for generations and could be passed on forever.

“Do you want to try it now?” Xu Anqing said, “But you first need an Eye of True Sight, which is not so easy to get, and it has to be above the red level, which is even worse. Perhaps Chen An An’s father has returned and can help you …… hiccup!”

Xu Anqing stared blankly at Ren Xiaosu’s hand, the one True Vision Eye lying as if it was a worthless candy in a candy house.

Just like how Qian Weining and the others hadn’t seen the world in the first place, not to mention that Xu Anqing was a core member of the Sacred Hall, but he had never seen so many Eyes of True Sight laid out together in his life.

Chen Jingshu knew what Ren Xiaosu had done in Winston City, but it was only after she had met Zhang Haoyun, so she didn’t have the chance to deliver the news.

At this time, Xu Anqing and the others, probably guessed what Ren Xiaosu had done, but weren’t clear on the details.

“Ao,” Ren Xiaosu said calmly, “I don’t need your help with the Eye of True Vision, I still have quite a lot of this stuff. By the way, if you open the Key Gate, will a higher quality Eye of True Sight have an effect on casting spells? Like being able to open farther?”

“Eh,” Xu Anqing was stumped, “That I really don’t know.”

Ren Xiaosu curiously said, “What, you haven’t tried any other True Sight eyes?”

At this point, Xu Anqing was already cursing furiously inside, he had only touched one True Vision Eye in his life, how could he know so much?

That is to say, when others taught him what to do, he just did it, and because each of them had opened different key gates, everyone hadn’t been able to summarize any rules.

At this time, Ren Xiaosu asked again, “That one Eye of True Sight can allow a sorcerer to open one Key Gate for the rest of his life, so if I have dozens of Eyes of True Sight, is it possible to open dozens of Key Gates?”

Xu Anqing: “No!”

“How can this not work, have you tried it yourself?” Ren Xiaosu seemed a little disgruntled.

Xu Anqing: “…… haven’t tried it.”

“Then you just heard it from hearsay,” Ren Xiaosu said, “Why don’t you try it.”

Xu Anqing had already started crying inside, “Because I haven’t held so many Eyes of True Vision ……”

Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and consoled, “My condolences.”

Xu Anqing almost growled, what condolences ah, everyone is not a person a true vision eye, only you will have so many true vision eyes in your hand.

Ren Xiaosu muttered, “I’ll know if I try it later.”

As he said that, Xu Anqing saw Ren Xiaosu take out a black True Vision Eye, before that Ren Xiaosu had never mentioned a black True Vision Eye to anyone other than Mei Ge.

Xu Anqing’s entire body began to stutter, “Black …… Eye of Black True Vision?!”

“In case you really only have one chance, it’s better to directly test the best True Vision Eye in your own hand,” Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, “Why look so shocked, Xia Xia should have told you guys ah, one of the True Vision Eyes in the hand of Russell was taken away by that knight, and it appeared in my hand! Isn’t it normal?”

This black Eye of True Sight was like the last piece of evidence to seal Ren Xiaosu’s identity.

He drew out his black knife and cut his thumb, dripping blood onto the stone before pressing it against the steel gate and spinning it again.

In an instant, after the black Eye of True Sight absorbed Ren Xiaosu’s blood.

It was as if the small black stone carried a blazing temperature, and the purple eyes suddenly turned red.

Immediately afterward, the place where the black stone came into contact with the iron door was actually slowly melted out into a perfectly fitting hole.

Red iron juice flowed out, and there were even sparks that occasionally splashed down, but Ren Xiaosu couldn’t feel the temperature of the Eye of True Vision at all, and only felt some warmth.

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

After he finished turning the Eye of True Vision ten times, Ren Xiaosu removed the black Eye of True Vision and took out another golden one to drop blood on it.

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

“It really doesn’t work,” Ren Xiaosu lamented a little, “If only I could open a few more Key Gates.”

A person could only open one door in a lifetime, this was the rule of the Key Gate.

Xu Anqing looked at Ren Xiaosu and asked, “Where is behind this door of yours?”

“I was just about to find out,” Ren Xiaosu smiled, “Trouble calling my people here, I have to be on guard against someone doing something before I go in.”

Xu Anqing was helpless, “Even if you don’t trust me, you could have said it more politely.”

At this time, Mei Ge also entered the Sorcerer’s Tower from the underground tunnel, and Ren Xiaosu asked him, Xiao Xia, Qian Weining and the others to guard the Key Gate together.

Ren Xiaosu explained to Mei, “I don’t know where I’ll appear after I pass through this door, it’s said to be the place I want to go the most, but I actually don’t know where I want to go the most.”

The most appealing thing about the Key Door to Ren Xiaosu seemed to be here, everyone had a hard time dissecting their own heart, but the Key Door would give you a direct answer.

After saying that, Ren Xiaosu stepped into the Gate of Keys with one foot.

In the next second, Ren Xiaosu silently surveyed the environment in front of him and smiled, and it turned out …… that the place he wanted to go the most was the small mansion on the east road of Anning in the 144th barrier.

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

He had bought this place with Yang Xiaoguan, and then he had befriended the husband and wife team of Hu Xiaobai and Wang Yuexiu.

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

They planted potato shooters and an apricot tree in this backyard.

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

Ren Xiaosu had wandered through this world, he had met many people, some became friends, some enemies, some passed through.

In the end, it wasn’t some splendid official residence that could make him stop, but this tiny house.

It turned out that this was the place he wanted to go the most, and in the future, well, no matter where he was, he could go home anytime, anywhere through the arbitrary door.

“Anyone?” Ren Xiaosu happily shouted.

No one responded in the house, it looked like no one had lived in the house for a long time.

But Ren Xiaosu wasn’t disappointed, before returning here he had guessed that Yang Xiaoguan must be on his way forward to look for him, so it was normal that he wasn’t at Barrier 144.

At this time, 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, and was already surprised with his jaws dropping to the ground, “Xiaosu!”

Today was supposed to be a weekend, Hu Xiaobai had a day off at home, she had taken advantage of the sunny weather to hitch up the quilts and mattresses in the yard early to dry them out, and now that it was evening, it was the time to collect the quilts.

The setting sun’s afterglow poured over the quilts and Sister Hu’s face, and everything looked extraordinarily soft.

It made Ren Xiaosu feel as if he had never really left this place, as if he was supposed to belong here.

“Good afternoon, Sister Hu,” Ren Xiaosu smiled, “Why do you seem surprised?”

As a result, Sister Hu ignored him and ran into the house with the quilt in her arms, shouting, “Old Wang! Old Wang! Look who’s back!”

Wang Yue interest’s voice came from the house: “I am writing documents, you do not yell and scream OK …… pain pain pain pain pain, you give me to let go!”

Between words, Wang Yuexii was actually twisted by Sister Hu’s ears and pulled out of the mansion.

The moment Wang Yuexiu saw Ren Xiaosu, he almost thought he was hallucinating, “Major? Why did you suddenly come back? They said you went over to the Sorcerer’s Kingdom!”

Ren Xiaosu laughed, “Let’s not make small talk first, help me call Black Fox and Zhang Xiaoman over.”

Black Fox, P5092’s adjutant.

After the battle between Fire Seed and Wang, what was left of Fire Seed’s main force retreated towards the northern grasslands, and was eventually brought all the way to the northwest by P5092, and nowadays inside the Sixth Combat Brigade, it should be Black Fox and Zhang Xiaoman who had the final say.

The reason why Ren Xiaosu didn’t say that he called P5092 to come over, or called Big Fox and Wang Yun to come over, was because he knew that these people were definitely on their way to the Sorcerer’s Kingdom as well.

Even, they might have already arrived.

Ren Xiaosu wasn’t guessing blindly, this was a tacit understanding between each other.

Wang Yuexi hurriedly agreed, “Good! I’ll go shout at them!”

Saying this, Wang Yuexiu stumbled towards the house to make a phone call, while Sister Hu greeted Ren Xiaosu, “Xiaosu you come to our house, ah, Sister will make some dinner for you, suddenly coming back surely haven’t eaten dinner yet, right? What do you want to eat tonight?”

“Just a bowl of noodles,” Ren Xiaosu smiled.

As the sun sank, more than a dozen military vehicles drove through the gates outside Barrier 144.

The earth-shattering gesture drew a flurry of speculation from the residents, and those who didn’t know thought that they were trying to apprehend some spy chief.

More than ten military vehicles all came from the sixth combat brigade, some passers-by wondered, “Strange, when the marshal is not in the city, the group of soldiers basically do not run to the city ah, is not said to be in the training of new recruits, how come such a large number of people came to the barriers?”

At the same time, not only did the 6th Combat Brigade come to report to Anning East Road, even Wang Fugui and Jiang Wu came along.

Anning East Road was no longer peaceful, the neighbors were all curious to look at these distinguished guests, only to see the streets and alleys filled with cars, bustling with activity.

An older woman laughed while sitting in front of her house choosing vegetables, “The last time there was such a big commotion on An Ning Dong Road was when the Major was captured.”

“Do you know how to talk, that was finding the Major Marshal, how can it be catching the Major Marshal?” Another older woman despised.

“At that time, the marshal didn’t want to be the marshal, but it was captured to be the marshal,” the aunt who was choosing vegetables counterattacked.

However, just at this moment, the two old men playing chess next to them heard them chatting and suddenly stopped their hands: “Could it be that the marshal has really come back?”

As soon as the words fell, the neighbors saw Zhang Xiaoman, the brigade commander of the Sixth Combat Brigade, jumping out of the SUV, and then shouting at the top of his voice: “Major, you’re back ah, the Big Snub that group of killers went to the Sorcerer’s Kingdom, and even left me alone at home!”

Following Zhang Xiaoman was Black Fox, this adjutant beside P5092 was obviously much more stable than Zhang Xiaoman.

The neighbors were instantly shocked when they heard this voice: “Surname Liu, your mouth is enlightened, right, the Major is really back?”

At this time, Ren Xiaosu welcomed Zhang Xiaoman and the others into Wang Yuexii’s their home, he looked at Black Fox and said, “I had already gone over to Fort 178 when you guys came, so I didn’t welcome you.”

Black Fox politely said, “You don’t need to be polite, Major, we are all familiar with each other as well.”

Black Fox knew exactly what Ren Xiaosu had done on the Fire Seed front in the beginning.

Black Fox felt that, but anyone who knew how raw this Major Marshal was would temporarily put down their arrogance in front of the other party ……

“How did you come back, Major Marshal, where are the big lugs and them?” Zhang Xiaoman queried.

Ren Xiaosu explained, “I came back through sorcery, and I haven’t met up with Big Snub and the others yet.”

“Witchcraft?!” Zhang Xiaoman instantly became interested, “Young Marshal you actually learned sorcery? Can you teach me?”

To know, right now, Zhang Xiaoman felt that any person he dragged out around him was a Transcendent, which made him, the Brigade Commander, very faceless.

And the most crucial thing was that he wasn’t a Transcendent, so everyone who went to do very exciting things didn’t bring him to play ah!

Ren Xiaosu pulled out two red True Vision Eyes and threw them to Zhang Xiaoman and Black Fox, “Sort of a souvenir brought back from the Sorcerer’s Kingdom, with him, you guys can become sorcerers, this is a sorcerer’s weapon.”

Zhang Xiaoman sighed with emotion, “The local specialties that the Major brought with him are all so chic.”

“Alright less ass-kissing,” Ren Xiaosu informed the duo of the methods of meditation and practice, then he asked, “Who all chased off to the Sorcerer’s Kingdom side?”

Zhang Xiaoman said indignantly, “Mrs. Major, and that maid of yours, Big Snob, Ji Zi’ang, Wang Yun, P5092, even Xun Night Yu that fat white guy was taken to the Sorcerer’s Kingdom, and as a result, I just wasn’t allowed to follow.”

Ren Xiaosu had a good idea after hearing this, with this Daxing Northwest lineup, the group from the Sorcerer Kingdom couldn’t even if they didn’t want to Daxing Northwest!

“Black Fox, how is the Fire Seed Unit and the Sixth Combat Brigade getting along?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

Black Fox said, “This still needs to be reported to the Major, after Chief P5092 brought us over, we were originally worried that the Northwest wouldn’t welcome it, but as a result, Commander Zhang directly gave the establishment. Nowadays, the 6th combat brigade, is already the 6th field division, the fire units are grinding well with the 6th combat brigade, and I’ve already reformulated the training direction of the 6th field division based on the different types of soldiers.”

“Are there any areas of discomfort?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“No,” Black Fox laughed, “Nowadays, the number of people in the combat sequence is 21,317, of which 3,021 are freshly enlisted recruits, and apart from these recruits who can’t go to the battlefield yet, the others are all in combat condition!”

“Very well,” Ren Xiaosu nodded with satisfaction, it seems that he did do the right thing when he asked P5092 to go and abduct these Spark Troops to the northwest of Daxing, “I need all of you, except for the new recruits, to quickly enter a state of combat readiness, and then station yourselves inside the 144th Barrier. In the vicinity of East Tranquility Road, it’s going to be in a state of military martial law, but remember, don’t disturb the residents in the neighborhood.”

“Understood!” Black Fox received the combat orders before asking his doubts, “Major, what is the meaning of this? Starting a war within the city?”

“Not really,” Ren Xiaosu shook his head and laughed, “It’s to wage war against the Sorcerer Kingdom.”

“Bringing a few bases of supplies?” Black Fox asked.

Ren Xiaosu shook his head and said, “I don’t know how to march and fight, so I’ll tell you the situation, and you judge: this battle shouldn’t require too many logistical supplies, and the enemy to be faced is more than 100,000 cavalry units, so there might be a street battle or a defensive counterattack battle relying on the city walls or something like that… …”

Black Fox silently jotted these down, “I probably have a number in mind, but I’m still a bit confused as to why you, Major, would let us come to be stationed in the 144th Barrier? Doesn’t this journey to the Sorcerer Kingdom require logistical supplies?”

Ren Xiaosu smiled and shook his head, “No need, just come back to carry the supplies when they’re not enough, we’re only one step away from the Sorcerer Kingdom.”

The moment Ren Xiaosu realized that his Key Gate opened at Barrier 144, he knew what he should use to fight this battle.

The Key Gate in his own home was like opening in the face of a sorcerer, originally, if the Northwest wanted to send troops to the Sorcerer Kingdom they would have to cross thousands of kilometers of distance, and the entire supply line would be a problem.

But now it was different, the entire 144th Barrier was their forward base, and the guns of the 6th Field Division were literally only a step away from the Sorcerers.
