Chapter 742: Chapter 7 Heading North

"Aluel?"

Gu Shen sized up the woman before him.

She indeed was a visitor from the North Continent, one could tell by her skin tone and hair color, distinctively different. Under Aluel’s felt hat, there flowed a type of soft silver hair that people from the East Continent did not possess.

Under the suppression of the Battle God Domain.

The silvery-white color in her eyes had completely faded, now looking into her eyes no longer gave one the oppressive feeling of icy pressure as before.

"You are... Mr. Gu Shen,"

Aluel also scrutinized Gu Shen and smilingly said, "I’ve seen your photograph, but in person, you look even younger than I had imagined."

Gu Shen invited Aluel into the Spring Rain Temple.

After closing the door.

Aluel, facing Gu Shen’s brow chakra, seriously said, "Lord Divine, you wouldn’t mind if I use a special method to block out this conversation, would you?"

Gu Shen’s expression was subtle.

Because Bai Shu had descended upon the very spot on his forehead once.

So Aluel at this moment... was speaking to Bai Shu.

No response, which was a form of affirmative response.

Aluel smiled faintly and raised a palm, suddenly breeze and snow started within the small courtyard, this time, however, it was not the chaotic spread of the power to "frost kill"... Gu Shen sensed the immense spiritual power and Transcendent control from this woman.

The yard burst into a flurry of fine snow dust.

The Tancho fluttering.

Aluel looked up into the sky, the open-air small courtyard’s Skytop had a thin snow curtain appear. As an "Angel Envoy," having the highest seat of Divine Power grant the "freedom" to travel freely within the Five Continents without fear of being captured specifically by "Deep Sea," but they couldn’t transfer this gift to others.

Therefore, she came to the Spring Rain Temple to talk with Gu Shen... only able to conceal herself, but not Gu Shen.

Without using some special methods.

The general scene of this conversation, could be seen by the "Wind Eye."

The snow dust, floating above the small courtyard, completely isolated any external probing of Qi, somewhat like the "lanterns" of Lion Alley.

Of course.

This method... was ineffective for Bai Shu.

After all, the entire Snow Forbidden City was within his Divine Domain, and he could listen in on the conversation contents at will if he wished.

"Miss Aluel..."

Gu Shen had already heard the news returned by the Investigation Corps, he was to return to Changye to prepare for the upcoming trip to the North Continent.

Unexpectedly.

The other party was faster than he was.

Before he even departed, Her Majesty the Empress’s Angel Envoy came to "visit."

"I am here by Her Majesty the Empress’s command, to see you," Aluel unexpectedly didn’t mention anything about the Investigation Corps, she sat on a stone stump in the small courtyard and softly said, "Her Majesty the Empress has been busy with seclusion... it was just in these few days that she heard the news from Changye."

Gu Shen was startled.

"The battle at Qingzhong Cemetery... Wine God fell, and there’s a new Battle God in the East Continent."

Aluel put out an effortful smile, saying, "Her Majesty the Empress sent me here firstly to offer blessings to the East Continent. In addition, she hopes that I could help her look into... Mr. Gu Changzhi’s motherland."

Gu Shen bowed his head, sighing softly.

He solemnly said, "Mr. Gu Changzhi... is no longer here. If you wish to chase the old memories for Her Majesty the Empress, you should go to the Gu family’s ancestral temple, where Mr. Gu Changzhi once lived."

"No... I am here for you."

Aluel shook her head, saying, "Her Majesty the Empress said, Mr. Gu Changzhi must have left something meant for her."

Gu Shen’s expression was complicated.

Could it be... Mr. Gu Changzhi’s letter was already within Her Majesty the Empress’s expectations?

No wonder Aluel directly headed for him upon entering Changye; she had premeditated her destination.

"Mr. Gu Changzhi... indeed left an item meant for Her Majesty the Empress."

Gu Shen silently thought for a moment.

Originally, Mr. Gu Changzhi had instructed him to deliver it personally.

He looked into Aluel’s eyes, even though the power of "frost kill" was suppressed by the Battle God Domain, he still felt the inherent chill within those eyes.

Gu Shen shook his head, saying, "But I cannot hand it to you, I promised Mr. Gu Changzhi to personally deliver it to Her Majesty the Empress."

Aluel’s face still held a smile.

She was not angry but instead asked, "So that item... is it a letter?"

"...?"

Gu Shen raised his head, frowning.

Such a thing... should not have been anticipated, should it?

As far as he knew, in the past years within the range of the Five Continents, apart from Master Qianye, only the imprisoned Prophet at the Source Tower possessed the "Divination Skill," could it be that Her Majesty the Empress was one of them too?

"Mr. Xiao Gu, do not be surprised."

Aluel took out the badge from her chest, an ancient token featuring an owl, she caressed the owl’s feathers with her fingers, warmly speaking, "Her Majesty the Empress has extraordinary wisdom, guessing anything wouldn’t be too far-fetched. Moreover, she is among those who understand Mr. Gu Changzhi best... guessing this, really isn’t anything much."

During Mr. Gu Changzhi’s prime years, the current Empress ruling over the North Continent was but a little girl.

When initially hearing Mr. Gu Changzhi calling the young Empress a "Lin Family little girl."

Gu Shen then understood that there might be a shared past between the two—

But now, hearing it from Aluel, he vaguely felt that this past event was more complicated than he had imagined... the bonds between these two Divine Deities was probably not shallow.
