Along with the reopening of the Temple of Divine Mercy, news also hit the northwest star region, along with the news that the S-class spiritual power evolver from more than three years ago had finally reappeared.

The news released by Gray River——

The S-level evolver is named Lan Xia, who has joined Xiguang and is based in the City of Xiguang.

If the reopening of the Temple of Divine Mercy was like pouring a bucket of oil onto the dry firewood of the Northwest Star Region, then the subsequent news was like a fire that ignited this vast region in an instant.

Within a short time, other forces, led by Xinghui, sent people to the City of Dawn. Alger's optical computer communication was almost blown up.

The Northwest Star Region welcomed the second S-class evolver after Chief Su Tu. The Xiguang where he was was in a period of vigorous development, and people with a keen sense of smell had already smelled the signs.

The Northwest Star Region has been divided for too long, and it lacks an opportunity to merge.

After Lan Xia showed up once, she ignored all the eager gazes and left all matters to Alge and others to handle.

He abnormally locked himself in the room for a whole day and didn't see anyone.

It was not until the evening that Alge and his four companions, together with representatives sent by other forces, had a brief discussion and came together to find Lan Xia. They stood at the door hesitantly, not daring to go in.

Shoubing whispered, "What's wrong with the teacher today?"

"It seems that this happened after hearing the news that the Temple of Divine Mercy was going to reopen," Lian Yao said, "Uncle Quan came to ask about it, but the teacher slammed the door mercilessly."

He was not formally accepted as a student by Lan Xia, and he named himself an outer disciple so as not to appear out of place.

The four of them pushed each other, and no one wanted to go up and knock on the door first.

A slightly tired voice came from inside the room: "Come in."

The door opened automatically and the lights were dimmed.

Lan Xia sat at the table. On the table was a flowerpot filled with violet seeds. He lowered his eyes and stroked it. Half of his face was blurred by the light.

The atmosphere was wrong and no one dared to sit down.

Alger didn't know who pushed him forward half a step. He coughed lightly and said, "...Teacher, the preliminary discussion results are out. More than 90% are willing to form an alliance, but the alliance needs a legitimate springboard."

"The reopening of the Temple of Divine Mercy has aroused the anger of the Northwest Star Region. We can use this as an excuse to form an alliance and attack the Federation."

"Lian Yao has received news that the First and Second Legions will transport the first batch of orphans to the Temple of Divine Mercy in five days. We must stop them."

In fact, this matter is extremely risky. Alge thought the teacher would hesitate and wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Lan Xia.

"Just stop it?" Lan Xia said softly.

Arge and his companions were stunned.

"No."

Lan Xia's slender fingers slowly tightened around the edge of the flowerpot, but she was reluctant to use force, revealing an extremely restrained murderous intent.

“It’s not just about stopping it.”

He said softly, "I will make all those who proposed to reopen the Temple of Mercy pay the price for their decision."

Lan Xia has always been gentle and reserved, and other people may not notice anything wrong with his current behavior, but those who have been with him for a long time have already noticed that he is on the verge of losing control.

People who rarely get angry are more terrible when they get angry.

Jin Daixi felt that the air seemed to become heavier, and she couldn't help but lower her voice: "Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

After a long while, Lan Xia closed her eyes and said, "Everyone, sit down."

Arge and the other three sat down in turn.

After carefully looking at the teacher's face, Shoubing asked, "I only know that the Temple of Mercy was burned to ashes by a fire more than ten years ago. All the children inside were burned to death. This became the fuse for our predecessors to revolt. Is there any other hidden story behind this?"

"Arnold and I were adopted by the Temple of Divine Mercy more than ten years ago."

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked.

"If possible, I would never mention those things," Lan Xia's pupils shrank slightly, "Do you know which place has been in close contact with the Temple of Divine Mercy?"

"The children in the Temple of Mercy are all orphans and often get 'sick', so people from the research institute often come to treat us."

A very peaceful narrative voice.

Jin Daixi felt a chill down her spine as she heard this. She inexplicably remembered the English word "eternity" on her teacher's collarbone, and the number behind it.

Then she heard what came next.

"We were coded. Those who were 'sick' had their blood drawn and electric shocks given, or they would not have food to eat. Children who volunteered to draw more blood would receive an extra piece of bread from the priest as a reward."

Lan Xia pointed at her shoulder and said, "Eternal A679 is my number, and A678 is Arnold's number."

"Those who died during the 'treatment' process would have their bodies sent away, while those who survived would continue with their treatment, receiving this charity and gift that ended with death in the temple where holy songs were chanted."

Just like the Temple of Mercy without violets, but with a vast grove of wisteria, it is filled with holy and hypocritical deception.

Alger couldn't help but ask: "Then their purpose..."

"I don't know either," Lan Xia was silent for a moment, "I just remember that Arnold had a high fever at the time, and I took on an extra 'treatment' for him."

"I thought I could hold on, but I fell into a state of suspended animation. When I woke up again, I was sent to the vicinity of the chaotic magnetic zone along with a dozen other corpses."

"That was when I skipped the Mirror Breaking Period and became an S-Class Evolver. However, I was very unstable. I barely killed the researcher who sent us to the Chaos Magnetic Zone and wanted to go back to rescue Arnold."

"And then... you know the rest."

The Temple of Mercy turned into a sea of ​​fire. The wisteria was no longer there. The statue of the god fell down and was shattered into pieces. In the burnt remains on the ground, he held in his hand the only seed left for him by his brother and searched for it again and again.

But I can't find that lively and sticky figure anymore.

There was a long silence, and the air was so depressing that it felt a little sticky.

No one would have thought that their teacher would have such an experience.

They have always respected and loved their teachers.

A teacher who is reluctant to let the other party have any hard work.

The teacher who watched them grow up and was like a father or brother to them.

A teacher who loves sweet food but is afraid of bitter food and is a picky eater.

Lan Xia: "Maybe it has something to do with the study of mental power, otherwise I wouldn't have awakened so suddenly."

Arge had been calm for many years, but at this moment he felt a fire burning in his heart.

He suppressed his anger and calmly followed Lan Xia's analysis: "Teacher, the reopening of the Temple of Divine Mercy was ordered by Emperor Roshi, and the two major military corps are helping. I'm afraid the purpose behind this is not simple..."

Shou Bing said coldly: "You scum who used children as experiments."

Jin Daiqi's pretty face was covered with frost: "Lian Yao, do you know any inside information about the Temple of Divine Mercy?"

"According to the timeline, it happened more than ten years ago. I should have been synthesized by the second leader only a few years ago," Lian Yao frowned, "The Temple of Divine Mercy didn't exist for long, and at that time, Huihe's attention was focused on the two major legions of the Federation--"

His voice suddenly stopped.

"Wait, I suddenly remembered that Elan Snow was an S Evolver who suddenly appeared in the Federation. He was so young and almost turned the tide of the war by himself. How could it be such a coincidence... Could he be one too?"

Could it be that it also came out of the Temple of God’s Mercy?

Lian Yao looked at Lan Xia.

"That shouldn't be the case," Lan Xia hesitated for a moment and said, "He appeared five years after the Temple of Mercy was burned down, and... he had silver hair. I don't remember seeing him in the Temple of Mercy that year."

Moreover, even if it wasn't for the white hair, he would have paid more attention to the pair of purple eyes. If it wasn't in his memory, then it really wasn't there.

Arge: "No matter what, it is absolutely impossible to reopen the Temple of Mercy."

If they didn't know these secrets, they might just treat this matter as a stepping stone, but now they all feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

Lan Xia nodded: "I saw their screening process this time. The first batch is orphans, and they haven't been transported to the Temple of Divine Mercy yet. Lian Yao, can you find out where they are? We will get ahead of the First and Second Legions and kidnap them all."

Lian Yao nodded: "Give me one night and I will give you an answer tomorrow morning."

Alger: "Leave the rest to me and Shoubing. Daiqi prepare the medical supplies. Within three days, I will negotiate with other forces and attack together."

Lan Xia: “Okay.”

They arranged their tasks skillfully, left Lan Xia's room without further delay, and closed the door thoughtfully.

Lan Xia looked at the seeds in the flowerpot that had not changed at all, and did nothing for a long time.

——

The news of the appearance of an S-level evolver in the northwest star region also spread.

Imperial capital.

The imperial palace.

"You said that the S-level evolver who suddenly appeared, his name is Lan Xia?" Emperor Luoshi asked again.

The Chief Executive nodded. "Yes, it was announced not long ago that in a newly rising organization called Xiguang, other forces in the Northwest Star Region have been extending olive branches in just half a day. There are vague signs of forming an alliance through the incident at the Temple of Divine Mercy."

The Northwest Star Region has not launched a large-scale attack because they do not have a leader who can convince everyone. The previous leader Su Tu was one, but later the old leader Su Tu died, and no S-level evolver has appeared in the Northwest Star Region since then.

Many times, S-level evolvers serve as a spiritual pillar.

And now, the spiritual pillar of the Northwest Star Region has appeared.

But unexpectedly, His Majesty Roche was not as angry and worried as he had imagined. Instead of the inevitable war between the Northwest Star Region and the Federation, he was more concerned about another thing: "Do you have a photo of Lan Xia?"

“This…” Everyone in the meeting room looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally someone stood up and said, “Your Majesty, there are no specific photos, but it is said that he has golden pupils.”

Emperor Roshi suddenly realized: "It really is..."

Among those numbers, besides Ellan Snow, this was the only name he remembered clearly.

He is not dead.

It also became S-level.

"I remember Elan Snow fought him once?"

And it was at that time that the ring containing arms and experimental instruments was lost.

Chief Executive: "Yes, I heard that the First Army has had a kill order on Lan Xia for a long time. Now that Lan Xia has revealed her identity, those who have received the kill order now have a target."

"Hanging warrant?"

Emperor Roche had a strange expression for a moment, then he laughed, "Yes, the killing order is really interesting, extremely interesting. People... Elansno would never have thought that there would be such a day. It's so ridiculous, so interesting..."

I have fought with the chaotic magnetic area and have seen Lan Xia's appearance, but I still can't remember her. The killing order is hanging high. It seems that the second memory cleansing is indeed thorough enough.

But just because Elan Snow doesn't remember doesn't mean Lan Xia doesn't remember.

Emperor Roche: "The main force transporting the orphans will be replaced by the Second Legion, with Light as the supervisor and Elansno as the assistant."

"By the way, after the meeting, ask Dean Pei to come see me."

——

The First Legion was downgraded from the main force to the auxiliary force, and according to regulations, it could only bring fifty people including adjutants.

Wright didn't show it on his face, but he was very proud in his heart. However, he was used to being careful and prepared everything very carefully.

The first batch of orphans was quite large in number, and they had to go to the drought-stricken area in the southeast to pick them up. Elansno was late only after the Second Legion was fully prepared.

The warship was about to take off. He walked into the cabin slowly and, amid salutes, chose the most spacious chair and sat down.

Elansno did not bring fifty men with him, only one adjutant, Nie Liang.

As skilled as if he were on his own warship.

Wright's face was not very good. "Admiral, you came here just like this, with only one person?"

"Yes," Gong Du held his head up and smiled slightly, "The First Legion is just an auxiliary, and we still need you to contribute. Isn't this what you have always wanted?"

He took a sip of the water that had been poured.

It's a bit sweet.

When did Nie Liang become like Kang Quan and learn to secretly add ingredients?

His eyes were never on Wright at all.

"Wright, you have to protect me. If anything happens to me, it will all be your fault."

Wright's face turned livid.

In my heart, I couldn't help but greet the eighteenth generation of Elansno.

How could he forget that although this annoying guy was strong, he was indeed treated specially by the Federation, who were afraid that any bumps or scratches would affect his performance in battle.

Damn, what an ancestor.

He remained calm, tried not to speak to Elansno, and ordered the warship to move forward at full speed.

The further southeast we went, the more sand and gravel there was below. The first batch of orphans were in the gathering area, and the list they submitted was much larger than rumored.

But after the warship flew to the concentration area, the place was completely clean. There was no sign of orphans, and even the people who came to greet them were gone.

Wright's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling: "Go down and take a look!"

The personal guard went down and quickly got back up, saying in a deep voice: "We found traces of an irregular warship suspended below. It's brand new. Someone must have taken the people away from us—"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, several black shell holes appeared in the concentration area below, and gunpowder flew directly towards five or six medium-sized warships anchored in the sky.

Wright screamed: "Dodge! Defend! Enemy attack!"

Under the unexpected bombardment, two warships accidentally damaged some of their performance, and the rest obeyed the order and opened their defense shields.

However, after launching this wave, the concentration area suddenly exploded and collapsed downwards, and there was no movement anymore.

The sand and gravel were blown away by the wind, and the collapsed areas looked like gaping mouths leaking air, silently mocking their stupidity.

The warship with its shields deployed looks like a joke.

Gong Du was the first to sneer, raising Wright's hatred value to the maximum.

"Stupid or not, it's obviously the Northwest Star Region who did it," he said slowly, "If I were you, I would chase them before they get far away."

Wright was extremely angry but calmed down. His face was gentle but his eyes were extremely cold. He stopped looking at Ellansno and ordered, "Look for the signal of the strange flying ship and chase it at full speed."

"Contact the troops stationed here from the Southeast Second Army and ask them to come to our aid as soon as possible. I want to make sure these daring anti-federal elements return alive!"

The smile on Ellansno's face faded slightly.

The warship was in rapid pursuit, and he looked at the display screen in the command room.

Ahead was a low-lying valley with gloomy weather. Thick thunderclouds were gathering above, and purple lightning was like a snake spitting out its tongue, occasionally mixed with streaks of scarlet.

The warships swept into it like black eagles entering a sea of ​​thunder.

The sky turned gray and thunder rumbled. Heavy rain was about to come to this perennially dry place.
