Chapter 1024: Chapter 176: Letter of the [New Era] (End of Volume)
He hopes to preserve these precious memories in the Heart Lake before truly merging with the “Netherworld Fire” in the future.
For every gain, there must be a loss.
But he is unwilling to lose his “emotions” and “warmth” in exchange for that flame which holds control over “life and death.”
Before Fisher left, he gifted Gu Shen a guest token from Deep Scale City. This fellow imitated the Divine Throne and crafted a flat insignia with exquisite workmanship, with a blood-red shark sculpted in relief on it.
Zhong Yuan, on the other hand, gifted a dagger, quite sharp, a top-grade knife produced in Qiaxike Town. The blade is tempered with a thin layer of “Purple Silver,” allowing the user to replace the Mithril according to their needs.
Lu Zhe gifted a coin from the Empress’s unification era, engraved personally by Her Majesty with “Gift to the Warrior.” This coin symbolizes peace in the North Continent, possessing significant commemorative value.
Gu Shen reciprocated the gifts one by one.
Men of the North Continent all enjoy drinking. He gave away his sparse supply of Lion Awakening Wine… this is a priceless wine that can intoxicate anyone.
The courtyard returned to silence; the officials and generals left, but Gu Shen did not leave.
He was still waiting for someone… Whether it was the maze task, the Gu Castle storm battle, or the bloody battle at the Duolu River, that guy never missed out. He was the sacrificial on the front line.
Also the watchman hidden deepest behind the scenes of the North Continent Royal Family.
After the alliance between Lin Meng broke down, Lin Lin’s royal family status was smoothly suppressed… the true identity of this Gu Castle Guardian was known to very few in the North Continent. His absence from the courtyard gathering left many feeling regret.
After the reboot mission ended, Lin Lin lost his trace.
This fellow is the Empress’s brother; if he chooses to open permissions, then throughout the North Continent, only the Empress and Zhu Xue would know his whereabouts… Official source is novel~fire~net
Right until the end, Gu Shen never saw Lin Lin arrive.
But he received a handwritten letter.
This time, he was no longer the messenger, but the recipient.
Aluer brought him Lin Lin’s letter… In this fully connected “New Era” of the deep sea, hardly anyone uses letters for communication; it’s something cast aside by the era.
Gu Shen sat at the stone table, quietly looking at this letter.
“Gu Shen, may the letter reach you in good health.”
“When you read this letter, I have already boarded the airship, left Central City, and am heading to Gu Castle… Just as I said when I came, I will not stay here. Though this journey was fraught with obstacles, I ultimately fulfilled my promise.”
“Thank you for the things you said to me on the giant wall, viewing the world from another perspective reveals a different angle of ‘truth.'”
“Because of your words, I decided to step out and explore.”
“Then I discovered, you were right, this world is not only about Gu Castle’s snow and Silent Annihilation, but also other… even more frustrating things, like the royal family’s alliance marriages.”
“There are countless cages in this world, and for me, Gu Castle is certainly not among them.”
“So after dealing with family matters in Central City, I was eager to return, without even a word of farewell, please forgive me… because I am to everyone. When writing this letter, I already began to miss the heavy snow, gunfire, and storm of Gu Castle.”
“Although I will be stationed in Gu Castle in the future, I believe we will eventually meet.”
“——In the near future.”
Gu Shen silently finished reading the letter.
In his mind, Chu Ling’s gentle voice echoed: “Part of the Ancient Literature Society’s list… has been deciphered.”
A fragmented network of names appeared before his eyes.
Gu Shen gently smiled.
His gaze fell upon the line pointing to the North Continent.
He turned the letter over.
On the back of the letter, there was a very small clue.
Here, Lin Lin had written his signature and the purpose of this letter.
“——Gift of the ‘Key.'”
