Chapter 204: Chapter 190 Audience_2

It was hard to imagine that all the pressure came from just a dog.

Was it really a dog?

"Under Lin Lin’s command... we meant no offense," that sentinel apologized stiffly, not daring to return to his original position.

Lin Lin, holding the dog, looked up at the two figures in the air and lightly chuckled, beckoning, "You two are in luck. Do you know why?"

"Every year, there are four or five such ’visits’. But those guys all visit me in the loft of the fortress. The loft is always quiet and has a good tradition of closing the door after entering, so after closing the door I release the dog and they have no escape. I am curious what they will say to you when they return to the advanced city?"

Lin Lin looked at the strange expression on the two sentinels’ faces and said indifferently, "Or maybe... say nothing at all?"

That seemed to be the case.

"Do you know why your esteemed Duke Zhuxue has never personally come to Gu Castle Fortress to find me?" Lin Lin spoke calmly, "Because he didn’t dare to. He himself knew... summoning me back to the advanced city was merely for a few things: either to study in the Central Continent, to make friends with Light City in the West Continent, or to meet future allies in Changye City. As a person with the Imperial Blood flowing in the North, once I return to the advanced city, I will become the glory of the Northern Fortress. So he thinks... doing these things is more meaningful than personally guarding Gu Castle Fortress."

The two young sentinels listened carefully, and their expressions gradually became more serious.

"So... what do you think?"

The sudden question left the two of them stunned, looking at each other in disbelief... they did not expect the quasi-general would suddenly ask such a question.

They came holding the order of Duke Zhuxue.

They were supposed to support it unconditionally.

But when the words reached their mouths... they couldn’t utter them.

Even though they were from the advanced city, systematically educated from a young age, deep down they yearned to go to the fortress front line, sign confidentiality agreements in the North, and learn the truth of the world like those "soldiers". Even if they hadn’t awakened their Extraordinary Ability, they would still wish to throw their flesh and blood into that ever-expanding Black Hole. If this could slightly ease the pressure on the boundary fortress, they would do it without hesitation.

Moths flying into flames.

So what?

The warriors of the fortress had always been like this.

"Under command... I respect you."

The female sentinel slowly landed on the tower rooftop, watching the rope in Lin Lin’s hand carefully, and then earnestly gave her answer, "Having you in Gu Castle Fortress is indeed a kind of luck."

The male sentinel also sighed, "If you refuse... we will return to the advanced city the way we came. The Duke will surely be very disappointed."

"If the advanced city needs me, my sister will speak up."

Lin Lin said, "At that time, Mr. Zhuxue will come here personally. I will choose to leave with him."

After saying this, a piece of broken snow fell from his shoulder and suddenly shattered.

It was an irregular fragmentation.

If someone could freeze time, they would notice... this tiny broken snowflake exploded, spreading into countless fine snowflakes, forming a circular arc, delineating a boundary above the tower.

The two sentinels’ pupils contracted.

They sensed something was wrong and tried to navigate their attached armor to ascend, only to hear the muffled whimper of the jet holes... It wasn’t due to a lack of energy, but because a powerful will enveloped the tower.

Prohibited flight, ascension, suspension.

It started with that piece of broken snow.

Countless snowflakes fell into the field, accelerated their descent, with no external force or heavy pressure. Once this command silently took effect, this domain would no longer support any airborne "living creatures" or "dead objects."

"So... I trouble you two to return the same way." Lin Lin said softly, "Before you leave, there is a traditional project of the advanced city’s transmission sentinels you haven’t experienced. Consider it my greeting to Duke Zhuxue."

"Just say... Niuniu missed him."

Niuniu... it sounded like a simple name.

Just like the "obedient Labrador" squatting.

Lin Lin released the rope in his hand.

In the next moment.

A purple lightning bolt streaked across—

The two sentinels desperately tried to activate the jet devices of their external attached armor, but under the powerful anti-air will, their armors spewed thick black smoke, clearly indicating complete failure. In the next moment, they were tackled by the purple lightning.

The labrador evil dog opened its fierce fanged mouth wide—

Lin Lin couldn’t bear to look back. He lightly leaped down from the tower, landing in a flurry of snow.

More and more people awakening Extraordinary Ability in the Five Continents... but awakened beings were still rare. This Labrador "evil dog" was one of the few.

Without the rope’s restraint... Niuniu had a peculiar habit.

"Ah—"

The male sentinel pressed to the ground by the big dog burst out with a desperate scream. He felt a huge tongue licking back and forth on his face. The big dog’s momentum was extremely intimidating. Its actions after pouncing on him were extremely fierce, as if it intended to swallow him whole.

The slimy big tongue retracted its barbs... Evidently, this big dog had no malice.

He only wanted to lick him.

But the strength of this "lick" was... too strong!
