Chapter 84 The true state of the undead tide
The smile that Long Kongkong wore on his face every day had completely disappeared at this moment. Long Dangdang was very silent, and his silence was a bit depressing.
"You should understand. Xue'er chose to leave for fear of injuring her family. Although she is usually eccentric, she is very independent and has a stubborn personality. Whatever she decides will definitely come true. Black. Your grandmother and I went to find her, but she really wanted to commit suicide in front of us, which scared us so much that we had to give up. She was even unwilling to accept any kindness from her family, even to help your father advance. Yes. She has used her actions to completely break away from the relationship with the Ling family. But we all know that all her efforts are for the Ling family, for us." At this point, Mr. Ling burst into tears.
"Times have changed. After so many years, the Holy Church has long cleared her suspicion. But even so, she has never come back. Because she is unwilling to have even the slightest threat to us. Do you know? This time she is willing to let you come home. Your grandma and I are so happy. We have been waiting for this day for too long. So, grandpa asks you to tell her when you return to Tenglong City today. Everything is over for her. Nothing will affect our family anymore. Let her come back. Your grandma and I, as well as her brothers and sisters, all miss her very much..."
Ling The old man could no longer speak. With his dignity in the temple, he was crying with tears in his eyes. At this moment, he really showed his old age.
Long Dangdang stood up, came to Mr. Ling's side, and gently stroked his back.
Long Kongkong sat there in a daze, with a hint of anger flickering deep in his eyes.
"Why did the Holy Church do this to my mother? They obviously don't have any evidence." Long Kongkong murmured.
“Kongkong!” Long Dangdang shouted suddenly.
Long Kongkong shivered cleverly and looked up at Long Dangdang. His eye circles were a little red, "Brother, mom, she..., I, I want to go back to see her."
Long Dangdang looked at his younger brother. , said softly: "It's in the past, it's all in the past. Mom is fine now, please relax. Mom and dad are very happy together. Even though she had no choice but to choose at the beginning, she is very happy now. She has a dad and us. "She has not been unhappy in these years." He was comforting his younger brother, but he was also comforting his grandfather.
The greeting gifts given by uncles and aunt today are a bit excessive. They are only two children. And after listening to his grandfather's story about the past, he understood that this was a compensation, a compensation for his mother.
Did mom do the right thing? Long Dangdang didn’t know. With the Ling family's abilities, they would have been able to protect her back then. But she still chose to do it. Use your own pain to repay the Ling family for their upbringing. And the reason why he was willing to let himself and his brother bring letters back this time was probably because times had changed and she had gradually forgotten those things in the past.
Mr. Ling gradually stopped feeling sad and his eyes became a little deeper, "I failed to protect your mother back then, but don't worry, what happened in the past will never happen again. If anyone dares to question With your identity, even if I have to fight for this old bone and destroy the entire Ling family, I will seek justice."
Ling Xue's matter has been suppressed in Mr. Ling's heart for too long. His whole life. But I want to have a clear conscience, and it is this adopted daughter who is right to have a clear conscience. Now, seeing that his adopted daughter's two sons are so outstanding, while he feels great comfort, why doesn't he feel mixed emotions in his heart?
"Grandpa." Long Dangdang looked at Mr. Ling, "I think it's better for us not to agree with others."
Mr. Ling's face changed slightly, and he said bitterly: "Yes, they were all mine back then. Wrong..."
Long Dangdang interrupted him at this time: "Grandpa, listen to me, I didn't mean what happened back then, it wouldn't have been your fault. You rescued your mother from that desert island. Let alone us, even she would definitely not be able to survive there. My mother must have never hated you. She knows the truth. The reason why she chose that way is, I think. It’s also to repay the favor, at least not to involve the Ling family.”
"And the reason why I said it's not suitable for me to recognize you and get involved with the Ling family is actually mainly because of the spiritual furnace selection ceremony. My cousin is so outstanding, don't you think the Ling family is already too powerful? We were shocked when we heard about the identities of several uncles today, but at the same time, I believe that our Ling family is also under the same pressure as the Ling family. If the Holy Church knew, the other two students who had obtained the Wisdom Spiritual Furnace, especially the Kongkong of Shenqiyu Tongling stove is also from the Ling family, I'm afraid there will be more jealous people."
Mr. Ling was slightly stunned, looking at the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but feel pity for his thoughtfulness and composure. Surprised, this is a boy who is not yet fifteen years old! His mind was so delicate that he actually thought of this.
"Grandpa knows everything you said. However, I don't want you to suffer any further grievances. That's why I didn't think about it." Mr. Ling said.
Long Dangdang nodded. Because of this, after listening to his grandfather's story about his mother, he still had no prejudice against his grandfather. If Mr. Ling cares more about the status of the Ling family, he can contact them secretly instead of asking his cousin to bring them back directly. As for their relationship with the Ling family, not many people probably know about it now. After all, my mother has been away for almost twenty years, and her suspicion has long been cleared. Even at Spirit Furnace Academy, there were very few people who heard them call them cousin. "Grandpa, we are teammates with my cousin now. It is normal to come to my cousin's house as a guest, or to be invited by the Ling family. Even if the Holy Church knew about our relationship, I don't think they would think that we are too close. After all, , my mother has left the Ling family, and is not related by blood, so I think we should try our best to come to the Ling family as little as possible in the future, at least until we really grow up, and not appear to be too close to you. In this way, it will be good for the Ling family. , which is good for us. Although the Holy Church has not taken any action yet, I believe that they will be very concerned about the owner of the Wisdom Spirit Furnace."
Mr. Ling sighed lightly. , "Child, thank you for considering the Ling family so much. What you said is right. However, the Holy Church should not be thinking so much now. Now that you already know about the tide of the undead, there are some things you can tell you. .”
At this point, his eyes became serious, "The tide of the undead is more terrifying and serious than you think. Now the church is going all out to deal with it. Recently, the tide of the undead is about to break out again. After decades of continuous struggle, even the news has become a little overwhelming. The manpower of the Holy Church and even the six major temples has begun to be stretched. This is why you, the senior students of Spirit Furnace Academy. The reason why he was pulled out directly. In this case, he could no longer care about the internal power struggle and could only act unanimously to the outside world."
Long Dangdang was stunned, and Long Kongkong also raised his head subconsciously.
"How serious is it?" Long Kongkong asked subconsciously.
Mr. Ling said: "To the west, more than 7% of the entire Holy Demon Continent has been occupied by undead creatures. Therefore, now it is not just a problem of the undead tide, but a battle of destruction between each other."
< br>After hearing his words, the two brothers couldn't help but take a breath, because they both thought of what Yutong said before, the more undead creatures there are, the more the tide will rise. They are more terrifying than the plague. Comrades who die in battle are likely to become enemies the next moment. Seven percent of the continent's area may not sound like much, but it is also a quite vast area, and such an area is already filled with undead creatures. What a terrifying thing it is!
Mr. Ling said in a deep voice: "This is not the most terrifying thing. The reason why the Federation is almost unable to suppress the tide of undead is because undead creatures have begun to infiltrate into the inland. They are not only powerful but also powerful. The most terrifying thing is that it infects our cemeteries, especially those of professionals, thus creating powerful undead creatures. Now the entire federal government and the church are very busy. One of the temples, even I have to take turns guarding the cemetery. It’s easy to imagine that the seemingly peaceful Federation is actually at a critical moment of life and death. What changes will occur during a major outbreak? According to estimates by the federal government, if undead creatures occupy more than 30% of the continent's area in the future, humankind may be wiped out."
This time, even the hostility shown in Long Kongkong's eyebrows disappeared. They had just heard about the undead creatures. Although they were originally surprised, when they thought about the fact that there were so many powerful people in the Federation, and there were The Holy Church was in charge and did not think that this was a disaster that could affect all mankind. But when they heard what Grandpa said, they truly understood the seriousness of the situation.
“I can also tell you some news. Due to the seriousness of the situation, although you are still junior students, I am afraid that you will soon join the team to fight against the tide of the undead. Not only that, all Saints In the Advanced Academy of the Palace Academy, all students over the age of fifteen and with cultivation levels above the third level will be recruited."
"The reason why I called you here today is not only to recognize your relatives, but also to help you do something in advance. Get ready." Mr. Ling said.
Long Dangdang said: "Grandpa, how long do we have until we are called up? Is it necessary to go?"
Mr. Ling nodded and said: "For the sake of the Federation and all mankind, the current call-up is The orders are compulsory. But as graduates of the Spiritual Furnace Academy, you are also the hope of the future, and even the main force in fighting the undead tide in the future. It should be relatively easy for you to form a demon hunting group in advance and then complete it. Some tasks that focus on internal cleanup and penetration will be safer. When you grow to a stronger level, you will have to devote yourself to the battlefield."
Long Dangdang said: " Grandpa, don’t our federation, especially the Magic Temple, have many powerful forbidden spells? Can’t we counterattack and compress the living space of those undead creatures?”
Mr. Ling sighed and said: "The Federation must have tried everything you can think of. It's not that easy. On the undead side, there are also Dharma God-level existences. Among them, the most terrifying thing is the power of pollution. Once the undead are killed, Tidal pollution, then all creatures in the area will become undead, whether they are humans or animals, even spiritual furnaces will be infected. Most of our high-level magicians spend their energy maintaining the protective shield. In this way, the infection of these undead tides can be resisted and will not continue to spread on a large scale. Once we launch the forbidden spell to attack, most of the ones that can be killed are low-level undead creatures, and accordingly, they will also take revenge. At present, we have not taken any advantage, and the Holy Church and the federal government have never made up their minds to fight against the undead tide. They have tried it before, but the problem is that even if the undead tide is solved on the surface, in fact, the high-level people have not yet taken advantage of it. All the undead creatures are lurking, and they will bloom more when they appear next time. The current situation is actually our intention. Let the undead creatures gather in a certain area, which is better than them lurking. More, at least some of the powerful undead creatures headed by us are within our sight."
At this point, the old man paused and then continued: "As for the time when you will be recruited. , it should be soon. After you are recruited, the Spiritual Furnace Academy will be temporarily closed and managed by the Holy Church as a storage place for the Spiritual Furnace. In the future, the Spiritual Furnace will occupy a very important position in the exchange of merits. To stimulate the soldiers to use their lives.”
Is the Spirit Furnace Academy going to be closed? Long Dangdang looked at Long Kongkong, his heart heavy. No wonder the academy has suddenly strengthened its actual combat training recently. Although I don’t know how the academy was able to simulate those powerful demons and bring them into such a simulation space, it is conceivable that such a simulation space will have a huge impact on resources. The consumption is definitely a lot. Is it because they are about to join the battlefield?
Long Kongkong's eyes looked a little hollow. What he was thinking about at this time was, if he was recruited, what would happen to the chop shop? What should I do with my goddess sister?
"I will take you to a place where there is a meeting gift prepared by grandpa for you."
