sword sentient beings

Chapter 513 Partner
Suddenly for a few days, I saw that it was already entering late February.

That morning, Tang Zhao woke up from his bed in the camp, staring at the beam for a long time, only feeling slightly better.

In the past few days, as time passed day by day, Tang Zhao gradually entered into a state of anxiety, often unable to sleep at night.

He seldom felt such pressure. The last time he was so anxious was when he was selected as the swordsman of the Xiechi Sword and had to face the unknowable Demon Cave and Heavenly Demon at the age of 12.

But at that time, what he needed to worry about most was his own life, and what he was facing was his unpredictable future. He didn't think about the consequences of success or failure at all, and the pressure of the Devil's Nest was not on him.But now what he bears are the lives of the people in the state, the expectations of the swordsmen and swordsmen inside and outside the team, and the unknowable results.

In terms of Tang Zhao's personality, the latter put more pressure on him.

And this kind of pressure is not only given to him by the outside world, but also given to him by himself, and the more no one urges and pressures him, the more pressure he puts on himself.

It can only be said that fortunately he is already a swordsman, his body has been reborn, and he will no longer be easily infected with mortal problems, otherwise his hair will fall out in handfuls, and sooner or later he will become Mediterranean or less gray.

Being so anxious is not because he is not resistant to pressure, but he is actually doing pretty well.

In front of others, he has always been emotionally stable, with a kind look on his face, and he can also complete studies, coordination, decision-making and other tasks excellently without showing any nervousness.

No one would have guessed that this sunny boy couldn't sleep at night, and he didn't dare to open his eyes when he woke up in the morning. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt that he owed a debt, like an ant on a hot pot.

But today he is in a better mood, because there is finally some extra good news today.

In the morning, he routinely went to the talisman research workshop—it was converted from the original classroom, and now Xue Xianyun and his disciples are sitting here to study the talisman array.There are talisman classics collected from various places, rare materials brought back from the front line and the devil's prison, and the phantom props developed by Tang Zhao before. The conditions are even better than Zhuoyu Villa.

Under the leadership of Xue Xianyun, the research on talismans can be said to be progressing rapidly. At least this time it is academically successful, but in terms of the time scale of the task, it is not fast enough and has not yet shown considerable results.

Tang Zhao went to make a routine inspection, and expressed his desire to speed up the progress as gently as possible.After all, Xue Xianyun is his own master, so he was not rushed by him, but instead comforted him and said, "It will take a day or two at most. We will strip the information exchange formation from this teleportation formation, and it will be like the formation you developed That what... is like a messenger, you can unilaterally pass the message over, and shout in that thing's ear twelve hours a day: "Send the message, will you answer it? Send the message, will you answer it?""

Tang Zhao thought to himself: This sounds too annoying, I didn't go there because I hate it, right?

After chatting with Master for a few words, and getting comfort from Xue Xianyun in turn, he felt better again and left the research hall.

After leaving the door, he was going to look for Zhang Rong in the Museum of Literature and History, which was originally converted from the Library Pavilion, when he heard someone behind him say: "Commander Tang!"

Tang Zhao turned around and saw a young woman running over.

This woman is only in her twenties, with apricot eyes and curved brows, sweet appearance, and slightly browned hair, she is a veritable "yellow-haired girl".

Tang Zhao smiled and said, "Li Jianke."

This woman is Li Rongrong, a swordsman from the District Inspection Division, who is in the same batch as Mai Shiyu. She became a swordsman only in the past two years, and it took about the same time as Tang Zhaocheng to become a swordsman.

Mai Shiyu's group of swordsmen had relatively low qualifications in the District Procuratorate, and they all started from the bottom line of the sixth-rank swordsman official position.For example, Mai Shiyu, if he hadn't happened to meet the Chaocheng Change and made contributions, and his immediate boss Feng Zhilie was gone, he probably wouldn't be able to be the guardian envoy.Li Rongrong didn't have such luck, so she was naturally a deputy envoy.

This time she was selected into the team because of Jianxiang's suitability, and she was originally intended to be Tang Zhao's reserve teammate.But Tang Zhao has never chosen teammates, and the place is strictly kept secret, no one can come in and out, so the selected swordsmen will stay and work in the training camp, and they can be regarded as Tang Zhao's temporary subordinates.

Today's Chaoyang camp can be regarded as a high-end match, and anyone who cooks and sweeps the floor is a swordsman.

Tang Zhao and this Li Jianke have been working together for a month, and they are familiar with each other. The impression of her is that she has the pungentness of Sister Mai, but is not as mature as Sister Mai, and her personality is still like a child.

Yes, although Li Rongrong was three or four years older than Tang Zhao, Tang Zhao felt that she was childish and immature at all.

Li Rongrong came to Tang Zhao with a solemn and high-spirited expression, and said, "Commander Tang, I have improved again today. There are only three steps left from the light in the hall."

She stared at Tang Zhao, as if waiting for his praise, and Tang Zhao responded, "Really? That's not bad."

Although it was a compliment, the tone was light, that is, polite.

Li Rongrong was a little disappointed, but then cheered up again, and said: "Before I was ten steps away, and then I was one step closer in the next three days. I never stopped. Sooner or later I will touch that light. Just wait, I will be your teammate." Then he turned and left.

Tang Zhao stopped her and said, "Deputy Envoy Li—"

Li Rongrong turned her head, Tang Zhao said: "Sorry, I said before that you are not suitable to be my teammate."

Li Rongrong said briskly again: "I know. When you left that light in the lobby, you said early on that only those who can get close to and touch that light can become your teammates. I couldn't get closer than ten steps before, of course I am not qualified anymore. Now I am adapting step by step and advancing step by step. After these days of hard work, now the light is only three steps away, and I will definitely be able to touch the light before the mission time limit. At that time, we will be teammates."

Tang Zhao sighed and said, "Deputy Envoy..."

Li Rongrong said: "I'm not a deputy envoy anymore. If you don't want to call me by my name, you can call me Xiao Li."

Tang Zhao was a few years younger than Li Rongrong, so naturally he wouldn't call her Xiao Li, and said, "Miss Li, you don't understand. The purpose of setting up the light is not to select a teammate who works hard and gets closer step by step. , but to select a teammate who is naturally suitable for that light. That is to say, you must touch the sun from the very beginning, and even pick it up as if you are playing with it. There will be no more chances in the future.”

Li Rongrong was greatly disappointed, and said: "Why is this..."

Tang Zhao explained: "The target we have to face is thousands of times stronger than the light I set, so it can be said that there is no comparison at all. Therefore, only those who are completely immune to damage have the opportunity to approach. A little injury, and it will be wiped out. This cannot be changed with hard work.”

Seeing that Li Rongrong was getting more and more frustrated, he said slowly again: "Not to mention you, I also rejected that room swordsman two days ago."

Li Rongrong murmured: "I heard. Was he eliminated because of his incompetence? They also said..."

There is only one swordsman surnamed Fang in the Chaoyang camp, and he was summoned in the second batch a few days ago.Because Tang Zhao made it clear to the first batch of swordsmen that there were no suitable teammates among them.He thought he would stop here, the camp had enough personnel, and the inside and outside were temporarily closed, just waiting for the time for him to go into the water alone, but Gao Yuanhou immediately selected the second batch of swordsmen for him.

This second batch of swordsmen is not just from the direction of light and fire.It is a variety of special sword elephants, and anyone who can escape the power of the sun with special abilities is called to have a try.

For example, Fang Jianke, his sword image is related to space.He has swordsmanship and can hide himself in a special independent space, disconnected from the outside space, but still able to see each other.That is to say, he is "blurred", and when he is hidden in a special space, he is invincible, and no attack can harm him.

Because his sword and elephant swordsmanship is special, even unique in Yunzhou, his talent is high, and he has made great achievements, so this kid is somewhat arrogant. Don't know much about him.

Tang Zhaodao: "Outsiders commented that he disobeyed orders and offended me, so I don't want him? No. He just failed the test. He hid in the space at first, so he could easily get close to the light. But that It’s just the first level. Later, I will condense the light into one point, and the mass and energy will increase at the same time, and then due to gravity, the surrounding space will be distorted. His space cannot be avoided.”

If it wasn't for Tang Zhao's timely rescue, Fang Jianke would have been torn to pieces by his own space.

Li Rongrong whispered: "After the first level, is there a second level?"

Tang Zhaodao: "Yes, it's just limited by my ability. Otherwise, if the quality is increased a hundred times and a thousand times, there can be a third and a fourth test, so that the results can be truly screened out. I'm not deliberately making things difficult for anyone. I just put the test Even if it is adjusted in this way, the power is still less than one ten-thousandth of the target. In the face of absolute power, there is no difference between space collapse and instant vaporization. The only safe way is not to approach."

Li Rongrong's heart sank when she heard it, and she suddenly said seriously: "But it's so dangerous, can you be safe and sound as a commander?"

Tang Zhao said with a smile: "I can't say that I'm sure. But I'm not guaranteed to die, right? It's about the major events of the common people, and we should take risks, but taking risks is for gaining something, not for being brave and doing nothing. No help. There is still a difference between giving it a go and dying, right? Miss Li, you have helped me a lot by doing your own thing."

Li Rongrong was depressed, she couldn't accept the loss of hope for a while, and she couldn't argue, so she bowed slightly and turned around to go.

Looking at her back, Tang Zhao felt a little lost suddenly, and said softly, "I can't find my companion in this world, right?"
