Chapter 350 [Old Day Fire]
After hearing Shane's answer and seeing the determination in the man's expression, Moritz's eyes flashed with appreciation.
He sighed with emotion: "He is indeed the person chosen by King Salary."
"Captain Shane, congratulations, you passed the last assessment."
Hearing this, Xia En raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
"Salary King? Assessment?"
Soon, Xia En suddenly came to his senses.
He had previously been curious about how Moritz knew the name of a little person like himself.
Now that I think about it, it is obviously related to King Xin!
Just...
"The person chosen by King Xin?"
Xia En's expression was a little strange. Why is this statement so strange?
at the same time.
Moritz had no intention of becoming the Riddler, so he took the initiative to explain to Shane.
"In fact, the reason why I included you in the list of this operation is precisely because of King Xin's recommendation."
"At that time he even said——"
"'If there is any Mystic below Legend who can solve this hidden danger, it can only be Captain Shane.'"
There was a hint of surprise in Moritz's tone.
"This is the first time I have heard such a comment from King Xin."
"To be precise, throughout history, there are very few people who can be evaluated like this by King Xin, right?"
Xia En couldn't help but be a little surprised, thinking to himself.
"Yan Yan...is this how you see me?"
Moritz glanced at Shane and spoke seriously.
"Originally I had some doubts about this statement."
"However, after seeing Captain Xia En with my own eyes, I can somewhat understand the reason why King Xin said this."
Shane did not continue the topic, but asked directly.
"Yan...oh no, where is King Xin now?"
"Can I go see him?"
Whether it was the disappeared memories of the [Black Flame Walkers], or the reasons for the anger of those shelters and Dark Ice, there were many doubts piling up in Xia En's heart.
And probably only Yan Yan can give him the answers to these questions.
But at this time.
Moritz shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, King Xin is now on the front line against [Great Flame]."
"Actually, we can temporarily block [Great Yan] in place, mainly relying on the power of King Xin."
"Even the entire infiltration plan was proposed by King Xin."
Having said this, Moritz sighed slightly ashamed.
"It's obviously a crisis for our generation, but it has to be solved by the kings of the old era. It's really shameful."
"However, King Xin must also have some special feelings for [Great Yan] who has become an undead..."
Hearing this, Xia En couldn't help but fell silent.
[Dayan Kingdom] is a kingdom founded by King Xin.
Those who died were all the people of King Xin.
At this time, the entire [Great Yan Kingdom] turned into an undead wandering on the ice sea, and even King Xin had to find ways to eliminate it.
Just imagining this kind of mood made Xia En feel heavy and a little distressed.
Is this the pain Yan Yan must bear after regaining his memory?
It's no wonder that before Yan Yan's memory truly awakened, he would often show such a lonely expression.
If possible, Xia En still hopes that Yan Yan will always be Yan Yan, instead of being the salary king with a painful past.
"Sorry, I accidentally went too far."
Moritz's voice pulled Shane's thoughts back from his memories.
"By the way, King Xin also asked me to hand over something to you, which seems to be helpful in improving your rank."
With that said, Moritz took out a palm-sized wooden box from his arms and handed it to Shane.
There are dark red lines on the wooden box that look like flames and blood, with a high temperature.
Xia En was quite familiar with the aura on it.
This is the secret power of flame that belongs to Yan Yan.
Moreover, Xia En also had an intuition that the things in this wooden box would help him take a big step on the secret path!
Moritz added: "I suggest you open this box in a quiet and safe environment."
"It would be bad if King Xin's kindness was wasted."
Shane nodded: "I will."
"Do you have anything else to ask?"
Moritz looked at Shane gently, like an elder who had high hopes for his descendants.
"As long as I know something, I can answer it for you."
After thinking for a moment, Xia En asked: "What is your realm..."
He was really curious about the strange aura on Moritz's body.
After hearing this, Moritz also answered frankly: "If you insist on saying so, I should be regarded as a pseudo-legend, right?"
"I once reached the rank of legend, but in a certain battle, I suffered an injury that will never heal for the rest of my life."
"Not only was my vitality severely damaged, but my rank also fell, and I was unable to make any progress for the rest of my life."
"But even so, after all, I have seen the scenery above the legend, and I also have some means to fight against the legend."
Xia En nodded clearly: "That's it."
Moritz continued: "The steward lady on your ship actually belongs to the category of 'pseudo-legend'."
"But unlike the situation where I can't make any progress, Ms. Jane just doesn't want to break through."
Xia En's eyes opened slightly, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
He didn't expect that Moritz would actually mention Jane's name.
And from his tone, it's not difficult to tell that he and Jane seem to be very familiar with each other?
Just...
What does it mean not to want to break through?
Moritz saw Shane's surprise and explained.
"Actually, I am an old friend of Ms. Jane. I visited her several times when she was working in the Federal Library."
Hearing this, Xia En immediately thought of the rumors about Jane on [Liu Li Island]——
There were children of federal figures who got angry because of Jane's cold attitude, and were eventually taken to the library by their parents to admit their mistakes.
Now the case is solved!
With such a general as an old friend, how could an ordinary dandy make any waves?
Thinking further, is Jane's only old friend Moritz really the only one?
After thinking about Musa from before, Xia En couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
This is the benefit of living long enough!
Do you know what connections are?
"Ms. Jian back then was so magnificent that she impressed the hearts of many young people in [Liu Li Island]."
There was a look of reminiscence in Moritz's eyes.
Then, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Actually, I also pursued Ms. Jian back then, but was ruthlessly rejected in the end."
Moritz looked at Shane with a strange look of envy.
"So, after knowing that Ms. Jian actually followed a young boy out of the big library and boarded a pirate ship."
"My mood is quite complicated."
Shane: "..."
Hearing this, he couldn't help but be curious.
How powerful was Jane back then? Even big shots like Moritz and Moussa were impressed by her charm.
Moritz spoke again: "As for why Ms. Jane is unwilling to break through the legendary realm, you should ask her yourself."
After ending the topic, Moritz spoke extremely candidly.
"To be honest, the Federation chose me as the commander of the [Far North Expeditionary Force] mainly because they wanted to take advantage of my reputation and prestige."
"Thereby deploying and commanding several major armies. If the generals were replaced by generals from other armies, I'm afraid there would be some conflicts due to military merit and competition for power." When mentioning this matter, Moritz's attitude suddenly became serious.
"Actually, I found that there are some overly optimistic voices in the [Far North Expeditionary Force], especially in the federal regular army."
"They believe that this expedition will definitely be successful, and they have even begun to think about what will happen after the victory and prepare to divide the military achievements."
"Confidence is certainly a good thing, but blind confidence becomes arrogance."
Shane was also infected by Moritz's attitude and seriously thought about this issue.
Thinking about it carefully, as he walked along, he did feel that there was a less tense atmosphere in the army.
After hearing what Moritz said, Shane realized the seriousness of the matter.
The federal regular army is powerful, but precisely because of their strength, it has been too long since they have faced an opponent who fought with all their strength.
Take the previous dispute between the three major esoteric religions as an example. Federal officials have always been on the sidelines and have not really taken any action.
Even so, the three secret sects have never launched an attack on the federal navy.
From this point, we can also see the strength of the federal regular army.
In the eyes of many soldiers, the seemingly vigorous dispute between the three religions is just a small fight.
As time goes by, the self-confidence in the army will become more and more swollen.
On the side, Carles nodded slightly and agreed with this statement.
Moritz paused and then continued.
"Actually, this trend is particularly prominent among young people."
"And my grandson Benny is one of the leaders of the Young Boys."
Xia En was slightly startled.
Another question he wanted to ask before was how to deal with Benny's provocation.
——After all, judging from Benny's attitude, it is obvious that he has no intention of giving up.
Shane didn't expect that Moritz would actually mention this matter himself.
Moritz looked at Shane seriously.
"Frankly speaking, I, an old man, do have some selfish motives of my own."
"My son and daughter-in-law all died on the battlefield, so I don't want Benny to follow their same path."
His conversation changed.
"However, I also understand that it is the fate of a soldier to die in battle."
"If Benny wins this spot by his own strength, I won't stop him."
"Captain Shane, I hope you can accept Benny's challenge, not for the sake of the quota, but to wake him up."
"It also makes those overconfident soldiers understand that there are people outside the world and there are mountains outside the mountains."
After saying that, Moritz stood up and bowed deeply to Shane under the shocked gaze of Carles.
"Please!"
Shane subconsciously wanted to avoid this bow, but found that his body seemed to be bound by some invisible force, and he could only accept Moritz's bow.
Wait until Moritz straightens his back again.
Xia En couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face: "General, are you so confident in me?"
If he lost to Benny in the end, wouldn't Moritz's attitude and words at this time become a joke?
Moritz smiled confidently.
"To be precise, what I believe is not you, but mine and King Xin's vision!"
Xia En was immediately speechless.
Boom!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Moritz frowned and said, "Come in."
The person who pushed the door open was an anxious soldier.
He directly reported the report: "General, not far from the [Far North Expeditionary Force] camp, a legendary monster appeared!"
“It came so quickly!”
Moritz's eyes were focused, but he did not appear panicked. Instead, he picked up the military cap on the table and put it on his head leisurely.
His movements were meticulous.
At the same time, his temperament quickly changed.
In the blink of an eye, that gentle and approachable temperament disappeared, replaced by a fierce and iron-blooded atmosphere.
The slightly rickety back was once again as straight as a big gun.
Just standing there, he exuded a sharp aura, and the murderous aura overflowed and hit his face, making it impossible to ignore.
It was not until this moment that Xia En truly got to know the commander-in-chief of the [Far North Expeditionary Force]!
After hesitating, Xia En asked: "Do you need our help?"
Moritz waved his hand: "Your first priority now is to prepare for sneak operations."
"As for the safety of the camp, you don't need to worry, because..."
"I will take action!"
With that said, Moritz walked towards the door.
Before stepping out of the door, Moritz looked back at Shane and said seriously.
"The future belongs to you young people."
"Now, let an old guy like me fight for you again."
……
……
After watching Moritz leave.
Xia En also felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
Not for Benny's challenge, but for this infiltration operation.
Dive into the body of a being beyond legend.
This kind of thing is extremely dangerous just by imagining it.
For ordinary secret travelers, the possibility of surviving successfully is very slim.
Xia En does have a hidden escape route, which is the [Rhine Secret Realm], but it cannot be ruled out——
In [Great Flame]'s body, the light gate of [Empty Beast Heart Seal] is restricted and cannot be opened.
So, try to think about the worst-case scenario.
So, it must be extremely difficult to solve the [Great Flame] from the inside and leave its body alive.
Even Xia En doesn't have much confidence.
What he can do now is to improve his strength as much as possible.
It would be great if he could be promoted to level six before the action started.
Out of trust in Moritz, Shane really didn't care about the legendary [Filthy Creature] that appeared over there, nor did he care about the safety of the camp.
Instead, after returning to his room, he entered the [Rhine Secret Realm].
A new cabin was built where he usually retreated.
That's where Feiya practices.
Feeling the steadily increasing atmosphere in the hut, Xia En put aside his worries and walked to another house.
Wait until your mood gradually calms down.
Shane opened the dark red wooden box handed over by Moritz.
Chi——
The moment the wooden box is opened.
A ball of fire suddenly jumped out.
The rich and vital secret power suddenly spread out, like a spring breeze blowing on the face, making Xia En feel refreshed.
At the same time, the secret power in his body seemed to be stimulated by this force, gradually becoming restless and even boiling!
The scene in front of me also suddenly changed.
Before the light and shadow flickered, he only saw a name on the panel——
【Old daily salary fire! 】
