Heaven's Formula

"Ah... sorry, I didn't notice that there was someone behind the door..." Even the proud child of heaven felt her face heat up, and her tone was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Qian Yan closed the door expressionlessly and returned to Li's side.The latter couldn't help rubbing the tip of her nose.

"Ahem... Anyway, you have decided to cooperate with the church now?" Taxis cleared her throat and said.

"That's a good word...but how come you came so fast?" Xia Fan put away the copper wire pendant, "It's almost like squatting under the foreign affairs building in the middle of the night."

Chapter 617 The Dragons Gather

Now it was Taxis' turn to look stiff.

After she sent someone to spy on Xia Fan, she received a lot of news. When she learned that the three members of the envoy disappeared into the forest on the east side of the city and did not come out until several hours later, Taxis finally couldn't sit still.

Obviously Xia Fan has information that she doesn't know, and is investigating something in private.Even if the other party has never disclosed their willingness to cooperate, she can only take the initiative to come to the door, planning to rely on the prestige of the church to "coerce and lure" her, and even add a little more bargaining chips when she thinks about it.

After all, it will be the church that will be honored at that time, and the ambassador of the East will return to the East sooner or later, and no one will remember her slightly ungracious behavior.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the foreign affairs building, Xia Fan crushed the gem.

Now it was a bit blunt to go home and pretend that there was no such thing, so Taksis could only go upstairs with a complicated mood.

"Well... for the investigation of the case, I happened to be patrolling around the harbor area, so it's not surprising that I passed by the Foreign Affairs Building?" She drew a chair for herself and sat down, "Then what about you, why are you using badges at this time? Could it be that he thought of the Church of Hera when he encountered a trouble that he couldn't solve himself?"

"You can think so." Xia Fan didn't delve into the timing of the other party's appearance, "I agree to cooperate with the church, but there is one premise."

"You might as well talk about it." As soon as she talked about the business, Taxis immediately returned to normal.

"The employees of Baiguoyuan were kidnapped by Azie. I hope that the jury can mobilize all forces to rescue them." Xia Fan gave a brief account of the factory.

Russ, who was hiding in the cloakroom, was stunned!

The ambassador said that the person who is willing to help is actually the jury of the Church of Hera?

Is this really possible?

That is a dragon descendant who surpasses the local nobles in terms of identity, and is also the strongest force in the Holy Wing Islands!Even a low-level employee like him clearly understands what the term Sun God means.

That Ambassador Xia... What exactly is his background?

He obviously heard from Momola that the other party had just arrived in Azure Castle for a few days.

"What do you think of the jury?" The guardian knight Des Moines said in a deep voice, "The hired workers went on strike, and now Azier is taking revenge. The sole purpose of this is to catch the real culprit who attacked the convoy, everything else—"

Taxis raised her hand and interrupted him, "Mr. Xia, the premise you mentioned is a unilateral condition, and cooperation requires the efforts of both parties. So far, I haven't seen what you can provide for the church. "

"Is this enough?" Xia Fan took out the gold and stone pendant found in the basement from his arms.

"This is..." Des Moines expression changed involuntarily!

Taxis grabbed it immediately, "It's unmistakable, it's Hera's order."

"Hera's order?" Olina asked curiously, "What is that?"

"A pass order used within the church. With it, some resources and force can be mobilized without approval from above." Taxis also took out a similar pendant from her waist, except that it was the color of a gem To be more red, "Generally speaking, believers who can get this item must be at least above the priesthood, and the Son of the Holy Spirit is only eligible to obtain Hera's Royal Order when he is on a parade."

At this point, there was a hint of danger in her tone, "Where did you find it?"

Obviously, only the real culprit who robbed the Son of the Holy Spirit himself could get this pendant.

"That's the content after the cooperation." Xia Fan said unmoved, "I can provide detailed information, but you also have to try your best to search and rescue the employees of Baiguoyuan. Besides, these two things are not unrelated. Rescue them It may also be a key move to destroy the plan of the real murderer behind the scenes!"

"Okay." Taxis responded decisively, "I need to know about the pendant now."

"It was found in the basement of the nursing home in the east of the city." Seeing the other party nodding, Xia Fan no longer shied away, and immediately told all about his investigation of the nursing home and Du Lin's related news, "...In short, the murderer is likely to be Nine is hiding in the cave in that mountain."

After listening to his statement, the faces of Taxis and Des Moines became very serious.

The evil experiment secretly conducted underground, the dead fog from Watch Island, and the attack and frame against the church all mean that this hijacking case will never end easily.

"My lord..." Des Moines looked at his boss worriedly.

"We must take action now." Taxis Yongyi made a decision without thinking for a long time. She stood up and said, "Now go and inform the Earl of Cleveland, and ask him to send all his men to search and transport The whereabouts of the hired carriage. The jury divided into two teams to attack the mansions of Azie and Baiguoyuan respectively, and the relevant personnel must not be allowed to escape, and those who dare to resist will be killed!"

This also means that she will take action before the application order is answered, and if there is a mistake, all responsibilities will be borne by her alone.

"Yes, this subordinate takes orders!" Seeing her making up her mind, Des Moines put away her worries and solemnly clenched her fists on her chest.

Then Taxis looked at Xia Fan, "To be honest, I don't want to put an envoy from afar in danger, but now the jury needs to divide into several teams to act at the same time, the frontal combat power will inevitably be weakened, and The addition of any high-level mage will be of great help to us. I wonder if you are willing to join the jury to attack the cave in the mountain where the murderer is hiding?"

Even at this time, there was nothing coercive about her invitation.

Looking at the other party's radiant eyes, Xia Fan knew that even if she refused, she would not have any complaints, and would just lead the team to the cave resolutely.

"I have to ask everyone's opinion." He turned his head to look at Li, Qianyan and Olina.

None of the three raised objections.

Rescuing the Holy Son as quickly and safely as possible is the most beneficial plan for them.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Xia Fan replied, "But the terrain there is steep, I'm afraid we need to prepare a few small boats to transport people in."

"That's not necessary." Taksis suddenly raised her head, opened her mouth wide and let out a silent roar!Through the thin and small red lips, her two slender fangs are particularly eye-catching.

He said it was silent because Xia Fan didn't hear any of her voice, but he knew that the other party was indeed roaring, because Olina and Des Moines immediately covered their ears, with painful expressions on their faces.

After a while, there was a dull and dense sound of flapping wings above the room!

Chapter 618 Night Raid

"Let's go." Taxis walked out of the room first.

Des Moines glanced at the four of them and then turned to follow.

When Xia Fan, Li and others came downstairs to the foreign affairs building, the scene in front of them was really shocking.

I saw more than a dozen giant dragons neatly lined up on the street, which looked like a black hill at first glance.The building guard stood against the wall with a stiff face, not even daring to take a breath.

This is the strength of the Church of Hera.

Two-digit dragonborn acting together can be regarded as a very strong army no matter where they are placed.

After Des Moines explained a few words, several giant dragons spread their wings and left immediately, carrying out the task of finding the employees of Baiguoyuan and arresting Azie. Order.

"We have the whereabouts of the murderer, and the next thing to do is very simple." The girl said briefly, "Find those who dare to be enemies of the Hera Church, and then tear them to pieces—I don't care about the enemies. How many are there, I just want to see them turn into charred bones!"

"Fight for the glory of Hera!" The dragon group let out a deep roar.

In the dark night, this dull roar is enough to make the surrounding residents tremble with fear.

"Besides, we are not fighting alone this time," Taxis pointed to Xia Fan and the others behind him, "under the guidance of Hera, the demon possessors from the east will join us to meet the enemy! The power of the dragonborn, go now!"

"Yes, Lord Yongyi!"

All members of the jury rose one by one, and the turbulent wind swept through the streets and alleys for a while.

"We are obviously just a cooperative relationship, why is she saying that, as if everyone has become a believer in Hera?" Li whispered.

"But I have to admit, this approach is very smart." Qian Yan shrugged.

"Indeed." Xia Fan agreed.The most critical bond of cooperation is trust. A few simple introductions can make other members of the jury regard them as Hera's foreign believers, which can not only greatly boost morale, but also eliminate the strangeness between the East and the West.Maybe this kind of temporary trust won't last long, but it's enough for tonight's battle.

"You come with me." Taxis said to Xia Fan.

Xia Fan was stunned for a moment before he realized, "Miss Olina can take me there—"

"There are four of you, and it's too slow to be carried by one dragonborn. When a battle may occur at any time, the ideal configuration is one person and one dragon." Taxis changed, and a black dragon with a slightly smaller head appeared In front of him, "Hurry up and come up."

Now that the matter has come to this, Xia Fan no longer hesitates.He stepped on the dragon's back with the opponent's lowered wings, and grabbed the horns on her neck.

Des Moines also turned into a dragon and stretched out its claws to Qianyan.

The last one to transform was Olina, and it was not the first time that she cooperated with Li, both of them seemed to be familiar with each other.

After everyone boarded the dragon, Taxis rushed to the sky, roared at the dragons circling around, and then flew towards the east of the city!

"You should have flown with Olina a lot, right?" She turned her head while galloping and said, "If you're really scared, I can lower the altitude a bit."

"No, I'm used to it." Xia Fan replied against the strong wind.Although Taxis is small in size, this body seems to contain a stronger power than Olina. Not only is the sprinting speed faster, but also the agility is better than most of the dragon monsters following behind. The only shortcoming is It's just that she is too thin, so that the scales on the neck of the dragon after turning into a dragon have no sense of flesh, and he seems to be sitting on a hard bone.

"That's good, many people have never left the ground in their life, and their feet dangling in the air bring them more fear than pleasure." Taxis said with satisfaction, "In the Holy Wing Islands, only those who enjoy flying are eligible Be the partner of the Dragonborn. Do you want to consider joining the Church of Hera? If I recommend it, your future will not be much worse than that of the Son of the Holy Spirit."

"Uh...Thank you for your attention, but Hera's glory may not shine on the Eastern Continent." Xia Fan declined, "Let's focus on the enemy in front of us first."

"That's because there are no believers in the east, but I believe that where the sun rises, Hera's people will be born sooner or later." Taxis was not unhappy because of his refusal, but snorted with the dragon's nose Said, "One day, you will understand the true meaning of the sun, and my invitation will always be valid."

The true meaning of the sun?

Xia Fan was a little surprised by these words. The other party was indeed inviting him, but there was not much fanaticism in his tone, as if it was only natural for her to praise the sun.

But he didn't go any further.

Because the mountain range covered by night had already appeared in the vision of the two of them.

"The cave should be just below the cliff, but the entrance is close to the sea, so it's hard to find unless you get close." Xia Fan pointed the way.

"Really? Then you hold on tight!" Taxis groaned, and her figure fell extremely quickly, brushing a piece of trees and crossing the hill, before heading straight to the sea at an almost vertical angle.

Xia Fan felt that his body was floating.

If it hadn't been practiced on Chi girl, she might not be able to maintain her demeanor this time.

Just when she was about to crash into the sea, Taksis suddenly pulled up her figure, and her four feet even plunged into the water, causing a large splash of water!After changing to level flight again, she flew all the way close to the cliff, and soon found the "cave entrance" Xia Fan said.

At this time, other dragon descendants also followed.

Without the slightest hesitation, Taxi burrowed into the dark cave, and landed on the beach with a simple trestle bridge with a bang.

Xia Fan discovered that there were actually people guarding this place, but their tents were set up relatively secretly, and they didn't notice this group of people when they got out from the basement of the nursing home.

They were awakened by the sound of the dragon girl falling to the ground, and they all got out of the tent holding torches.

When they saw that the assailant was actually a dragonborn, everyone showed shocking expressions on their faces.

"Damn it, it's the dragon, the dragon is coming—"

"Sound the alarm!"

What answered them was a scorching flame!

Taksis opened her mouth wide, and sprayed an extremely bright pillar of flame from her nose and mouth, instantly engulfing the panicked enemies and tents.

After the flames swept away, the seven or eight figures in front of them became burning "wax figures". They couldn't even use the strength to struggle to put out the fire, and they stumbled and fell to the ground after taking two steps.

"Clang clang clang!"

The crisp bells also rang through the cave at this time.

With such a big appearance, it is difficult for the other party not to notice.

At the same time, more members of the jury flew into the cave following the route of the leader, and the narrow beach became quite crowded for a while.

Taxis didn't care about the enemy's warning at all, she waited for Xia Fan to jump off, then transformed back into a human form, pointed at the flame-flaming cliff in front of her and said loudly, "Leave two people to stay at the entrance of the cave, and the rest will follow me to attack immediately! "

Chapter 619 Depths of the Nest

If you want to describe what the enemy's lair looks like, the first thing Xia Fan thinks of is a rat's nest.

No one knows how long Dr. Du Lin has been operating here. The caves in the rock wall have been opened up one by one, forming a complex underground network.Facing the sudden sweep of the church, the enemies hidden inside immediately put up a desperate resistance, showing no intention of disarming and surrendering.

It's just that in the face of absolute overwhelming power, their counterattack methods are quite limited-not to mention swords, bows and crossbows, the most threatening opponents are undoubtedly muskets and artillery, especially the short-barreled guns in the middle of the aisle. It can basically seal off the entire attack route. If it is used to deal with ordinary people, it is indeed invulnerable. Unfortunately, their opponent this time is the jury.

The church seems to have been prepared to deal with this kind of firearm. Two dragonborn directly held up heavy iron shields to block the front of the aisle, and their companions released barrier spells behind them. Stop the advance of the Inquisition.

Taxis took on the main attack responsibility.

What she is good at is evocation, and it is the most violent fire-type spell.

Probably because the dragon's xinxing technique is related to Lie Yan (raging flames), even the ordinary fireball technique has become an astonishingly powerful killer in her hands.Often the enemy is still looking for cover to block, she has already turned the sulfur in her hand into a ball of liquid beads the size of a fingernail, throwing it at the opponent's location.Afterwards, the violently expanding flames mixed with scalding air waves engulfed everything around them, and if it reached the powder box, it would cause even more violent explosions.In a closed cave, such a blow is absolutely fatal. If it weren't for the strong body bestowed by the demon possessor, even the dragonborn would not be able to gain a firm foothold in the aisle repeatedly swept by the shock waves.

"These guys... are not gang members from Azure Fort." Des Moines bent over to examine the charred corpse on the ground and said, "They are a bit like pirates who once entrenched in the Sea of ​​Tranquility."

"Are you sure?" Taxis raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, look at the skull rings they wear, and the scarlet flag tattoos... These are all symbols of classical sea pirates."

"What do you mean?" Xia Fan asked Olina in a low voice, "Is this pirate divided into classic and modern?"

"Uh..." The latter was also a little confused, "I only heard that there have been no pirates in the Tranquility Sea for a long time, and I don't quite understand how to classify them..."

"Just ask me if you have any questions." Taxis turned her head and said to Xia Fan, "The so-called classical pirates are the people who first appeared on the ocean. Most of them are lawbreakers and desperate people. Attack ships to get money. The Sea of ​​Tranquility is also the main channel of trade for various countries, so pirates were particularly rampant for a period of time. However, with the intensification of attacks by various countries, the pirates of all parties suffered heavy losses, and now they are basically extinct in the Sea of ​​Tranquility area gone."

"Then what are non-classical pirates?"

"Of course it's the armies of various countries." Taxis smiled.

"My lord." Des Moines coughed twice, reminding his superior to pay attention to his words.

"There's nothing that can't be said, whether it's the Holy Wing Islands, Rangis or Nattatin, everyone knows it well." The girl said disapprovingly, "Compared to the classic pirates, this new batch of pirates They are well-equipped with the most advanced warships and firearms, and there are often several spellcasters on board, so they are much more difficult to deal with than those guys before."
