Heaven's Formula

"I guess that person was just trying to save his accomplices—he didn't want to cause too much trouble." Latherin affirmed, "But he didn't have such concerns about the group of people who attacked the church. They killed the Holy Son Everyone else, including coachmen and nuns who have no ability to resist. And how can a guy who dares to provoke the Church of Hera worry about whether he will have a bad relationship with the Holy Palace?"

This is really surprising.

Having been a defense officer for several years, my cousin seems to have made a lot of progress.

Fumi pondered for a moment, "It makes sense for you to think so. If they really restrain themselves, then the threat to Azure Castle will be much reduced."

"If it's not the same group, then your most important task at present is to assist the church in solving the Son of the Holy Spirit incident." The earl said firmly, "The jury has already made the sea merchants go crazy, and I heard that they even want to put All suspects will be detained and interrogated together, you must not let the matter go to this point!"

After all, it is related to the taxation of the territory for a year.

"Yes." Formy replied, "And what about the legendary mages?"

"Of course we have to investigate. I at least need to know who the other party is from and what their purpose is when they come to Azure Fort." The earl knocked on the table and said, "The Holy Palace will never stop here, they definitely need an explanation."

"I understand." Fumi turned his head and explained to Lathein, "You check the recent entry records to see if there are any strange people entering Azure Fort."

Ratherin was slightly taken aback, "What, let me check?"

"Most legendary mages have a high status. Even if they hide their identities, they mostly appear in the image of upper-class people. It is too shocking for them to play the role of beggars and refugees. Since they are people with names and surnames, they will follow the rules and register in the city. If you have an extraordinary status, your speech should be different from ordinary people. Go back and think about it, have you ever dealt with such a person recently..." Fumi paused for a while at this point, "Hey, are you okay? "

He noticed that his cousin's face was a little pale.

"Uh...it's all right, it's just that I was startled by the explosion yesterday and didn't sleep well all night." Latherin replied quickly.

"I see." Fumi nodded. "Anyway, I will also carry out an investigation into the city. If I'm lucky, I should be able to find clues."

"I see." Lather replied stiffly.

"Okay, you go down." The lord waved his hand, "Remember, if you find out the whereabouts of these people, don't contact them lightly, just provide the list to the Holy Palace. I don't want Azure Castle to become a battlefield for legendary mages. "

After the two left, Cleveland leaned back in his seat and let out a long sigh.

The matter of the Son of the Holy Spirit has not yet been resolved, and unexpectedly the Holy Palace is in trouble again. Coupled with the church's jury, the entire Azure Castle seems to be in a whirlpool.

This made him faintly have some bad premonition.

For a lord, the more it is like this, the less he can lose his footing.

He did have investment in St. Blaine's Palace, but he also knew that this harbor city was the family's biggest capital.

……

The seaport area, where foreign envoys stay.

"Xia Fan, Olina is awake." Li opened the curtain and said to Xia Fan who was guarding the hall.

The latter got up quickly and walked into the bedroom.

The room was filled with a faint smell of herbal medicine, and the dragon girl leaned sleepily on the head of the bed, as if she hadn't fully recovered.The newly changed bandages could be seen on her exposed shoulders and back, but her complexion was much better than last night, and there was a touch of blood under her fair skin.

And last night, after she landed, Li carried her back.

Being able to wake up in one day shows that Qian Yan's judgment is correct - Longnu is more mentally exhausted due to excessive breath consumption, and the palm-sized burn on her back is not the point.

Seeing Xia Fan, Olina's eyes suddenly became clearer, and at the same time she quietly pulled up the quilt, "What time is it now?"

"Nine o'clock in the morning." Xia Fan sat down beside the bed, "Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Stinging pain still came from behind from time to time, but Olina pretended to be relaxed, "It's just a dissociation technique. It's not a difficult killing move for the transformed dragonborn. Of course... if you do it instead It's Miss Li, so the result is not easy to say."

She didn't want to show her vulnerable side in front of this oriental man.

"It's fine." Xia Fan said comfortingly, "Thank you for standing up and blocking that blow for Li, I should repay you."

and many more……

"Return?"

"That's right, those who have meritorious deeds should be rewarded and those who have been punished should be punished. This is also the standard of Dongfang Accelerator." Xia Fan thought for a while, "How about five hundred gold coins as my personal thanks?"

Five hundred gold coins!

Olina's eyes lit up.

She wanted to pretend to be more reserved, but her opened and closed lips had already responded truthfully, "Then I won't be polite."

"That's what it should be." Xia Fan smiled, "Fortunately, your injury was relatively minor. If it's more important, I should feel sorry for the five hundred gold coins."

In other words, the more severe the injury, the more compensation?

Olina couldn't help feeling a little regretful, if she had known this, perhaps she should have revealed a little more vulnerability.

"By the way... did Miss Li get any important clues?"

In order not to let herself think about how many gold coins she lost, Olina decided to change the subject.

"We have discussed this issue before." Xia Fan paused, "As for what she discovered, it is better for the person concerned to tell the story."

Li nodded, and repeated his own experience, "I think there is a high probability that the wrong person was checked this time. From the conversation between Azie and the person in the mirror, we can see that they are very concerned about the church jury, and Azie Lumen is not an ordinary business tycoon."

After finishing speaking, she showed the replica of the emblem she saw in front of Olina, "Do you know the origin of this thing?"

Olina squinted her eyes for a while, then said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the badge of the Star Tower Association. The six-pointed star represents union, and the stars and towers usually refer to spellcasters."

Chapter 549 An Unexpected Visitor

"Do spellcasters form associations?" Xia Fan thought thoughtfully, "It makes sense why there is a remote communication magic weapon in his room."

"But he himself is not an angry person." Li pointed out.

"The Star Tower Association is a cross-border organization, and it is not surprising that businessmen join it." Olina added, "The main scope of activities of this organization is generally in the capital of the kingdom, Xila, and it belongs to the small and sophisticated association. The barriers to entry are also quite high. But it is not a secretive organization, and there are regular social meetings and recruitment activities every year."

"So this discovery can't be regarded as any valuable clue... right?" Li's ears drooped.

"That's not necessarily the case, at least let us determine who is standing behind him." Xia Fan thought very clearly in his heart that if it was a highly confidential item, Azie would definitely hide it in a more hidden place, or simply carry it with him.It is unlikely that a single emblem will reveal a person's true intentions.

The greatest value of this discovery is to remind them not to underestimate Azie because he is a demonless person.

Since it is an organization related to spellcasters, the leading force behind the scenes is most likely the mages of the Holy Wing Islands.

In other words, the major event that the person in the mirror wants to do may very well represent the will of the Mage Tower.

Xia Fan suddenly thought of a question, "What is the relationship between the mages and the church?"

"This... I don't know too well..." Olina seemed a little embarrassed, "Both parties are sensitive, so there shouldn't be any difference?"

It seems that this question is too abstract.

Olina is neither a church leader nor a high-ranking member of the Fa Tower, so it is naturally impossible to know how these two forces view each other.

"Are you suspecting that there is a shadow of a mage behind the case?" Li seemed to see his thoughts.

"No, it's just a hypothesis." Xia Fan shook his head hastily, the most taboo to solve this kind of matter is to set up the answer first, and then look for the process, "After all, it's not even sure whether they did this case, we still have to continue the investigation. "

"The porridge is ready." Qian Yan walked in with a bowl of hot meat porridge, "let's let Miss Longnv eat something before we talk."

The moment Olina saw the porridge, a series of gurgling sounds came from Olina's stomach.

Her face flushed slightly, "I mainly slept for too long."

"Indeed, I made an omission." Xia Fan followed her words, "People who are sensitive to qi are prone to hunger, especially after a large amount of consumption."

Olina put a spoonful of porridge into her mouth, and the fresh smell of fish immediately filled her mouth.The main ingredient of porridge is wheat instead of rice, but it blurs the taste between the two by adding more water.In addition, the porridge is also mixed with chopped shiitake mushrooms and dried shrimps, which further enriches the taste level of the porridge - obviously all the local ingredients of the archipelago are used, but she has never eaten such delicious food in her childhood impression food.

There is no doubt that this is the taste of the East.

After eating several spoonfuls in succession, Olina breathed out satisfied, "Where did we just talk?"

"The next investigation." Xia Fan folded his hands and looked away slightly - the dragon girl in front of him didn't realize that the quilt that was pulled up slipped down again because two hands were needed to drink porridge. "Compared to the emblem, the more critical information should be the words of the man in the mirror."

"The guests will visit Azie's mansion?" Olina asked.

"That's right. The time and place are quite clear. No matter what this person wants to do, it must be inseparable from the big event they are talking about." Xia Fan nodded, "Everyone knows about Azie's residence, so we just need to keep watch. Just look at the door of his residence and see who comes in and out that day."

"I understand. The people who came to the door that day can basically be regarded as suspicious." Dragon Girl thought for a while, "The method is a bit straightforward, but it may be effective. It's just that there is such a change in the Holy Palace, and they will still Is it going according to plan?"

"I don't think this is a big problem." Li answered, "Judging from Azie's reaction, he didn't realize that I was hiding in the house at that time. And from what the person in the mirror said, it seems that Azie didn't Knowing who the guests are means they can't reschedule."

"It seems that the other party is using one-way communication." Xia Fan touched his chin with great interest.Although the one-way connection is highly concealed, its flexibility will be correspondingly reduced a lot.A local wealthy businessman who has joined the Star Tower Association is not very common, and it is even rarer to be so cautious when meeting a guest. He is now certain that what Azie is talking about with that guest is definitely not a business negotiation.

At this moment, the waiter's voice came from outside the hall.

"Your Excellency, there are two people downstairs who want to visit you."

new visitor?

Xia Fan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Who is the other party? Did you declare your identity?"

"They claimed to be members of the church jury."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

The four couldn't help but looked at each other.

How could people from the church come here suddenly?

Could it be related to the incident in the Holy Palace yesterday?

"Can I see you?" Xia Fan whispered.

"No," Olina said hastily, "The people the jury wants to see will be met no matter what, so don't even think about confronting them."

"What if the other party has bad intentions?"

"Then think about countermeasures. But if something like that happens, leaving Azure Fort as soon as possible is the right choice." Olina grabbed Xia Fan's hand, "These people are the actual controllers of the Holy Wing Islands, unless It’s a last resort, otherwise, don’t go against the church.”

She was worried about herself, Xia Fan realized.

He patted the back of the other party's hand, then stood up and said, "Don't worry, I still need the Son of the Holy Spirit to relieve Her Royal Highness of the evil curse, and I won't come against the church. You stay in the back room first, and I will go alone." See them, in case something unexpected happens, you can just play by ear."

……

The attendant quickly led the visitor into the house.

Xia Fan looked calm on the surface, but he took a deep breath in his heart.

The other party is no member of the jury, it is clearly the leader of the jury—a man and a woman in front of them are the people who walked at the front of the queue when the church jury entered the city that day!

The woman with short fiery red hair spoke first, "My name is Taxis Yongyi, Priest of Hera. This is Des Moines Looping, my Guardian Knight. You should be the Eastern Ambassador, Mr. Xia Fan from Qiguo, right? It’s the first time we meet, please give me your advice.”

After that, she smiled and held out her hand.

Xia Fan hesitated for a moment before holding that hand.

The palm feels warm to the touch, and the fingertips are well-defined. It is the slender palm of a woman in her early 20s.

He didn't see it clearly in the restaurant that day, but now that he looked closely, he realized that the other party was surprisingly young.

5 Chapter Fifty

According to Olina, the strength of dragonborn is positively related to their age. Although their overall age is similar to that of elves, both of which are about a hundred years old, their physical functions will not decline but rise after middle age, and they will reach their peak at the age of 80 or [-]. .

The team leader in charge of the case of the Son of the Holy Spirit this time looks to be around 20 years old. There are only two possibilities for this—one is that the other party has a good face and her actual age is much higher than her appearance, and the other is that she is strong enough to Young enough to take on this role.

Either way, it's not easy to deal with.

"Please sit down." Xia Fan pointed to the chair in the hall, "I am indeed Xia Fan. I wonder what you two want from me?"

"I didn't expect you to be about the same age as me. Before I came here, I thought you were an experienced middle-aged uncle." Taksis pursed her lips slightly and let out a series of laughter like silver bells.

Experienced...middle-aged uncle, why does this description sound a bit weird?

"Master Yongyi." The guardian knight coughed twice, as if reminding her of her words.

"Don't mind, this is just a chatting habit of the Archipelago Kingdom." Taxis sat down and looked around the room, "Where are your partners and partners? I heard from La Sein that they rarely leave your home around."

Xia Fan's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, his news came from the coastal defense officer.

Although the ambassador's visit was not a secret, he did not expect Lassein to disclose his affairs to the church jury.

Originally, after finding out the whereabouts of the Son of the Holy Spirit, the credit was all due to the defense officer, but now, the other party has given all his initiative to the church.

"They're still resting. There's a time difference between the east and the west, and it takes time to get used to it."

"Jet difference?" Taxis asked curiously, "What is that?"

"Uh..." Xia Fan wanted to skip this topic at first, but after seeing the other party's burning eyes seeking knowledge, he took out a pen and paper and explained the general reason, "Of course, this is just the simplest model. It's going to be more complicated."

After listening, the other party showed a surprised expression, "Did the sun shine on every corner of the world in this way? This is the first time I heard of it. There is no relevant record in the Church of Hera, only that the sun god always follows a fixed The line of action has never changed."

"My lord, this is only the view of the Orientals..."

"Whose opinion is not important, the key is whether it is right or not." Taksis stared at the stick figure for a long time, "I remember that the fleet that went to explore the border waters encountered Eternal Night phenomenon. If we follow the principles shown in the painting, we can almost get a perfect answer.”

She raised her head and looked at Xia Fan, "Can you sell me this picture? It may inspire the church to further explore the gods."
