Heaven's Formula

The former alchemist of the Privy Council, Fei Nian!

She took a deep breath, "Is this phenomenon... very common?"

Wang Sha showed a wry smile, "This is the trickiest part of it. If we do not conduct contact checks, we will have no way of knowing whether the other party is infected. After all, most of the time, the infected person is exactly the same as himself. For example, the current In the Privy Council Mansion, how many people are infected, and how many people are normal... It is simply unknown. There are even very few people who know about it."

6 Chapter Sixty

"Is there no way to prevent it?" Luo Weiqing couldn't help but feel a little worried about Jinxia City.

"No," the young man spread his hands, "Even the infected will not realize that they have changed—if you try to treat them during the infection stage, the other party will definitely regard you as an enemy. In other words, You think he's out of order, but he thinks you're the one who's crazy."

Luo could not help but be dumbfounded, she had already realized a situation.

"That's right," Wang Sha saw what she was thinking, "it will lead to the loss of trust, and even close friends will turn into enemies. So in order to reduce this pain, it is best to detect the infection. From the start, just kill the opponent directly—"

Luo slightly clenched his fists slightly.

It was hard for her to imagine that one day she would cut the dragon scales to her few remaining partners.

However, Wang Sha changed the subject, and his lowered tone became brisk again, "Of course, it takes an opportunity to infect those who are infected. Although we still don't know how this effect is achieved, it is not as simple as the epidemic. In short, The ring can ensure that we are aware of the infected, and our own will may be the key to resisting the infection."

This is undoubtedly extremely critical information.

Luo Qingqing thought to herself, no matter how much the other party's words were true, she should convey the news of the infected person to Jinxia, ​​and it would be best to bring a ring back with her.

In addition, she also needs to learn how to check for infection - if Fei Nian is the infected person, is Her Royal Highness still herself?What if Xia Fan brought back the son of the holy spirit who could heal Ning Wanjun, and His Highness turned into someone else, she dared not think about such a thing.

Just as she was thinking, a believer walked into the tent, bowed towards Wangsha, and said, "Brother Sha, the investigation team has sent back news that there are signs of Zhuoshi's activities in the south. Venerable Shengtian hopes that the main force will pass."

"I see." Wang Sha looked at Luo Qingqing, "It seems that someone is jealous, and it just so happens that the Salvation Church needs some horses to supplement it. Miss Qing'er, can you fight on the battlefield with your abilities?"

"I think... there should be no problem." Luo paused slightly and replied.Even if she doesn't use the fairy dragon scale technique, she still knows a lot of separation technique and shock technique. These two types of techniques are very suitable for killing the enemy in front of the battle. "Could the enemy be the army who fled back to Youzhou?"

"You have already guessed it." The other party praised, "The bandits that suddenly appeared in various parts of Youzhou recently are the former Youzhou Army. It's just that they have fallen apart now, and all the generals are seeking benefits for themselves. The remnants led by Zhuo Shi It is one of them. Come on, I will take you to see His Holiness."

……

Transferring from the tent to an open space in the courtyard, Luo Qingwei saw that there were already forty people waiting in the field.

Unsurprisingly, these people are all angry.

What a great deal, she thought to herself, a little-known sect can gather so many qi-sensing people, even if their level is not as good as beginner alchemists, that is still an astonishing number.

Unless these qi-sensing people came out of the ground, Youzhou couldn't support so many awakened people-after all, in the past, folk qi-sensing people basically belonged to the Luo family, even if there were casual cultivators, That can be counted on one hand.

Reminiscent of Wangsha's strange accent, Luo Weiwei suspects that a considerable number of people here are from outside Qiguo.

"Brother Sha, this girl is..." A man in the crowd whistled.

"She is a newcomer, her name is Qing'er." Wang Sha introduced, "Don't look at her young age, she was a serious alchemist in the Privy Council before, it's better not to provoke her if she has no strength. "

There was a burst of low laughter from the crowd.

"What kind of provocation, the words are too harsh!" The man objected, "Everyone is just admiring the appearance of Qing'er girl, don't interrupt if you are under the age!"

"Bah, who doesn't know what you're thinking. Don't be afraid, Miss Qing'er, with my sister Hongxiu watching, I promise not to let them touch a single hair of yours."

"That's right, you don't have to worry about this big guy, don't even think about this newcomer!"

Everyone booed for a while.

And some people's attention is elsewhere.

"What's wrong with Miss Qing'er's eyes, will it be okay to fight later?"

"Brother Sha, how did you convince the alchemists in the Privy Council to join the Salvation Church?"

"Can I talk to her after I've dealt with the soldiers and bandits?"

"Don't mind, they are just joking." Wang Shaya said in a low voice, "If you don't want to talk to them, just keep silent, and they will retreat in spite of difficulties."

Luo nodded slightly.

At the same time, a strong sense of strangeness rose from her heart.

What's wrong?

She looked at the noisy crowd and pondered for a while, before she suddenly realized that this group of people had no trace of being educated by an aristocratic family at all!You must know that the aristocratic family system is not unique to Qiguo. Except for the dominant family of Xu, the rest of the feudal kingdoms also use this method to reward the heroes who overthrew the Yongchao.One of the education in the aristocratic family is etiquette - after all, the goal of those who are sensitive is to pass the scholar's examination to become an alchemist. Since they want to be an official in the future, etiquette is naturally a compulsory course.

In a sense, except for the very rare exception of Xia Fan, the vast majority of people who were sensitive were masters during the Privy Council period, and the worst was Wei Wushuang, who could be honored as Mr. Wei when they went out. .

But this group of people is clearly not.

Apart from being able to sense Qi, they are no different from ordinary residents in the market who like to join in the fun.

Luo Qingqing couldn't figure it out, where did the Salvation Church collect these people?

"Quiet, Venerable Shengtian is here." Suddenly someone shouted.

The noise suddenly stopped.

A tall figure separated the crowd and walked into the center of the compound from behind.

At that moment, Luo Weiwei felt the hairs all over his body stand on end!

This "thing" in front of me - is it really a person?

For the first time, she saw that the aura of a living being can be mixed with various colors, not to mention a part of it is black like chaos!Under the gray field of vision, this venerable is particularly eye-catching, and what is even more incredible is that that part of the black aura did not destroy the other party's vitality, nor did it show signs of chaos, but formed a unique pattern neatly. "Door shape".

That's right, the Qi in the opponent's body actually formed a pattern.

—a black door that only she can see.

"Everyone, I don't have anything special to say about this operation." Venerable Shengtian said, and heard the voice of a woman, "Although the opponents are numerous, they are just ordinary people. Eliminate them as much as possible, and don't let them threaten thousands of people." The innocent people in Rencheng. If the soldiers surrender, their lives can be spared, but the generals headed by Zhuo Shi cannot stay, understand?"

"Subordinates understand!" Everyone said in unison.

"Very well, it is your mission to protect the world from the thugs. Now, take your troops and set off!"

Chapter 661 Journey to the Royal Capital

Holy Wing Islands, the boundary of Gila.

The Baisha followed the Longxi River and headed north towards the capital.After the vortex storm in Azure Fort is over, any weather can make everyone feel sunny and sunny. Whether it is the crew or passengers, when they are free, they prefer to lean against the fence on the bow deck and enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river.And the storm that almost sank the entire harbor to the bottom of the sea seems to be just a phantom that exists in memory.

There are many boats traveling between the north and the south on the river, but most of them are river boats, much smaller than the Baisha.In addition, the flag flying on the Baisha does not belong to any country in the West Pole, so it attracted many people to watch. After all, it is the first time that a first-class warship other than the Tranquility Sea countries will appear in the Wangdu area.If it weren't for the church's goddess Hera's flag hanging on both sides of the ship, the defense forces along the way would probably have boarded the ship to check.

"That's the city of Hilla." Taxis pointed to a dense "gray jungle" not far away.

"The houses by the river... are all factories?" Li looked up.

"Well, Wangdu is the best among the cities in the archipelago in all aspects. The number of merchants, workers, church believers and ordinary people is far more than that of Azure Fort, and the embassy facilities are much more luxurious." Speaking of the words of Taxis There was a faint sense of pride, "During the stay, I will prepare butlers and servants for you to ensure that you can enjoy the most comfortable hospitality."

After a few days of recuperation, the girl's injuries have healed to a great extent, and her mental state has also recovered a lot. Apart from a trace of calmness in her eyes and pupils, she seems to have returned to the radiant appearance when she entered the city.

But other members of the jury were not so lucky.

These days they have been hiding in the cabin, and they rarely even come out to show their faces.

The rest formed a tacit understanding, and every time three meals were delivered to the door of the room, no one would take the initiative to mention this matter.

Xia Fan noticed that the closer to Xila, the more turbid the river under his feet-the large number of factories built along the river can certainly bring a lot of wealth to the capital, but they obviously also have a lot of impact on the surrounding ecology.I just don't know if there is any magic in the church that can solve the pollution, otherwise this place will follow in the footsteps of the fog city sooner or later.

Two hours later, the Baisha docked firmly at the Wangdu Wharf.

The church, which had already been notified, even set up a dedicated channel to facilitate the Eastern Ambassador's disembarkation.

"Taksis, you are finally back." The person who came forward to greet her was an adult dragonborn, about 40 years old, with a square face and a sense of majesty.He was wearing a gold-rimmed red robe exclusive to the church, and a tall crown hat on his head.

"Sir, this subordinate has insulted the mission and failed to bring back the Son of the Holy Spirit." Taxis knelt down on one knee, showing a rare look of guilt.

"I have basically understood the situation. It's not your fault that the enemy did their calculations with their minds. Lord Xia Fan?" He smiled and stretched out his hand, "Welcome to the city of Hira. I am the head of the Judgment of Hera, the red priest Sedaro Bava. Your heroic deeds in Azure Fort, Let the church up and down be excited. The reception department has prepared the villa in the west of the city, and it is now available for occupancy."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Xia Fan shook hands.

"Captain, why is it west of the city?" Taxis asked a little puzzled, "Shouldn't the foreign affairs area be in the south of the city? It's also closer to the cathedral..."

"The environment in the west of the city is secluded and the houses are spacious, which is more suitable for guests from afar to rest. And..." He paused, "Recently, the foreign affairs area is very restless, and even the mage representatives have increased the number of trips. The Church does not want the Eastern Ambassador got involved."

"Is that so..." Taksis Nunu raised her lips, and didn't continue to think about it, "Then I'll take them there."

"No need." Sedaro clapped his hands, and a group of luxury carriages slowly drove into the pier, "I arranged for someone to pick you up, you'd better return to the cathedral with me."

"Captain, but..." Taksis raised her brows.

"Your Excellency the Pope is very concerned about this matter, and my task is to bring you back to the church as soon as possible." Sedaro said earnestly.

"It's okay, you can go." Xia Fan took the initiative to say, "After all, the business is important, and it won't be too late to come back after you finish your work."

Seeing this, Taxis could only accept, "I understand."

After a while, the carriage carried Xia Fan and others away from the dock area.

"Let's go." The smile on Sedaro's face disappeared completely, "Fly."

After speaking, he turned into a dragon and flew up from the spot.

Taxis hurriedly followed, and she heard a trace of solemnity from the other party's tone, "The situation of the church... isn't it good?"

"It's more than bad." Saidaro said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for the fact that you were traveling with the ambassador, His Majesty would have considered recruiting you back in advance. When you arrive at the cathedral, you must think carefully and answer the rest of the red clothes. Priest's inquiry."

"I see." She nodded slowly.

……

The cathedral is right in the heart of Scilla.

As the headquarters of the Church of Hera, it has been expanded several times in the past 200 years. Now it is the most majestic building in the capital. The height of the main tower reached an astonishing 25 feet, and it was undoubtedly the most eye-catching fortress in a city with only three or four floors.

Landing on the platform outside the cathedral, the two changed back to their original form and walked forward quickly.After passing through layers of checkpoints, Taxis once again stepped into the Sun Palace after a long absence.

This is a typical vaulted tower, and the colored glazed high windows introduce sunlight into the room, which is concentrated in the center of the ground and converges into a huge spot of light.With the gold-inlaid patterns carved on the slate, it gives people the illusion that the sun is right under them.

The high-ranking priests and His Majesty the Pope stood on the platform on the second floor, and Taxis had to look up to see their faces.

"Taksis Yongyi pays homage to Your Majesty." The girl followed the church etiquette meticulously.She knelt on the ground respectfully, touching the sun pattern on the ground three times with her forehead, and then said solemnly.

"May the light of Hera shine on you forever." Pope Pella IV said leisurely.

Taxis stood up, waiting for the inquiry from the church's senior management.

"We don't think there is a problem with the inference that the demons in Azure Fort are related to mages," said a middle-aged woman who asked the first question, "Information shows that this demon incident is more like a special spellcasting, the problem is that it did not originate from Necromancy, on the contrary, is somewhat similar to oriental sorcery. Judge Yongyi, I wonder if you have thoroughly investigated the Eastern Mission and the group to confirm that they have nothing to do with this matter?"

Chapter 662 Close to Nostalgia

On the other side, the carriage carrying Xia Fan also stopped slowly.

"Mr. Ambassador, your accommodation is here." The housekeeper knocked on the car door and said.

Xia Fan jumped out of the carriage, looked at the magnificent mansion in front of him and whistled, "Are you sure you sent it to the wrong place? I thought it would be a well-guarded compound with high walls."

"Uh... what did you say?" The former was taken aback.

"It's nothing, it's just a joke." Xia Fan patted the other party's shoulder and said.

He noticed this when Taxis was called away—the head of the jury was not so much here to greet him as to pick up the dragon girl.In addition, no high-level members of the church were present, which was obviously not considered important in terms of etiquette, at least not as important as the thank you letter said.

Of course, this situation is not incomprehensible. Things like thanks and rewards can be made up later, but the troubles encountered by the church are imminent.

What really caught his attention was Sedaro's remark that the west of the city is more secluded - staying away from the foreign affairs area can be said to prevent them from being disturbed by other forces, or it can be understood that they are not trusted, so they need to be separated distance from other forces.At the same time, seclusion also means that it is easier to monitor. In other words, it is not uncommon for the Church to send the envoys to a tightly guarded closed house.

Xia Fan didn't object immediately, it was purely out of Taksis's face.

"It seems that this group of people has not reached the point of repaying kindness with revenge." Li whispered.

"It's a pity." Freddie came over suddenly.

"It's too close." Xia Fan distanced himself from him in disgust, "You guy... aren't you afraid of being discovered by people from the church?"

Upon hearing the news that the Baisha was about to go north, this blood race came to the door immediately - I have to say that the intelligence network built by this person is indeed a bit powerful, and the decision just made by the lord can be transmitted to him in the next moment. in the ears.As a result, not only the jury and his party were carried on board, but also a Natal court nobleman.

Considering the spirit's emotions, Xia Fan asked him to wear a mask all the time and not to leave his cabin without authorization.Fleidon readily agreed to these restrictions, and even offered himself to forge the identity of a legal adviser. Such a cooperative attitude made it difficult for Xia Fan to drive him off the ship with a cold face.

Thinking of this, Xia Fan couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

He hoped that the guests who boarded the ship did not come, but the guests who did not want to board the ship were extremely positive.

Momola finally chose to stay in Azure Fort.

Her original words were that there was more than one hundred fruit orchards in the city, not to mention that after the tsunami disaster, more hired workers would fall into desperation.She hopes to help them through this and teach them how to stand up to the dehumanizing factory.Although the Relief Society suffered heavy losses, the deeds of Jiaojiao and others have spread. She believes that this power will not dissipate with the disaster, but will be reborn from adversity and become a brand new force in Azure Castle.

When everything is mature, she will come to find Xia Fan again to repay Jin Xia for her kindness.

"It's actually not a big deal to be discovered." Fletton said frankly, "Eternal Family Bank also has a branch in the Holy Wing Islands. If they really reject the imperial people so much, how can they allow the power of the mistress to work here? .Faith is faith, and there are many things that can be agreed on when it comes to making money.”

Xia Fan sneered, "Does capital have no borders? This is a common principle everywhere."

"Capital... knows no borders..." Freighton savored it for a while and smiled with great interest. "It is indeed an apt description, and it may be written as a motto in the books of Yongjuan Bank."
