Heaven's Formula

At that time, the national power of the Yong Dynasty was strong, and the research on magic arts was in full bloom. At the same time, it also deeply affected the neighboring countries around it, and it had the potential to dominate the East.Coupled with the very different culture and novel travel experience, it seems not surprising that the mistress is attracted by King Yong.

But there is a small regret here.

Although King Yong's lifespan is long, it is much shorter than that of the blood clan.

People who sense Qi will enter their twilight years in their eighties, and battles and injuries will accelerate this process. At the end of the mural, the man is obviously old and can no longer drive the gliding magic weapon like he did when he was young, leading the team to the forefront up.

In the past few decades, more than half of the more than 200 people have lost one after another in order to find a way out.However, it can be seen from the content of the painting that such an attempt is not ineffective. They seem to have established contact with the sentry post on the top of the mountain, and it is just around the corner to leave the mountains.

But King Yong didn't do that.

He chose to use the courtyard as his mausoleum, where he entered eternal sleep.

Although there is no explanation in the painting, Xia Fan can still guess a few clues.A king has been away from the center of power for decades, and the court of Yongchao must have undergone earth-shaking changes. Even if he can return to the capital safely, it must not be a good thing to face the new Yongwang.

In short, King Yong stayed, and Mistress Stitch also stayed.

Not only that, but the mistress also used the secret method of the blood clan to give birth to a child with the blood of both parties.In order to awaken the child as a person who senses Qi, the mistress introduced her own primitive blood into the offspring, and this scene was also recorded by the muralist.

"Oh my god..." Hua Lin suddenly let out a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Xia Fan turned to look at her.

"This ceremony is not the first embrace ceremony..." She covered her lips in disbelief, "The mistress used the inheritance ceremony to transfer her blood to the next generation..."

"What does that mean?" Xia Fan asked puzzled.

"It means that this child is not a descendant of Mistress Stitch, but the next generation of Mistress..." Hua Lin murmured.

Chapter 795 Inherited Blood

Those who accept the First Embrace will awaken the ability to sense energy and become descendants of the blood race at the same time. This is also the way for the nobles of Nattatin to expand their power.But this method of forced awakening will continue to weaken the strength of the bloodline, and generally it can only be extended two to three times. Those descendants are not heirs in the usual sense, but more precisely, it should be a master-slave relationship.

The inheritance ceremony is to inherit everything about oneself to the next generation. The two parties belong to an equal relationship, and the latter can also have the lifespan and strength of the former, similar to the continuation of the listener.Once the inheritance ceremony is completed, the qi and blood of the mistress will be greatly damaged, and she will become no different from ordinary people in a short period of time. Even if she can recover later, she will not be able to return to her previous peak level.

As a vampire with an extremely long lifespan, usually only when they are tired of the world or seriously injured, will they choose their favorite next generation to hold the inheritance ceremony.Since most of the vampires died in long-sleeping accidents, and few of them went to bed at the end of their lives, this technique was almost lost, and only the royal family of Nattatin would learn it.

After listening to Hua Lin's explanation, Xia Fan sighed for a moment.

Obviously, Mistress Stitch did this to accompany King Yong.

She even gave her most precious blood as a gift to the crystallization of both parties.

Going dormant in such a state is obviously not a safe approach.

The end result is that, like most blood races, the mistress never woke up from the long dream.

In the past, the Yong Dynasty did not regard monsters as mortal enemies. The monsters recognized by the government could even walk on the streets openly. Such a situation must be inseparable from the attitude of the Yongwang.

Princess Muye and Feleton were silent for a long time, and finally the latter broke the silence, "That girl...is the mistress' heir..."

"It shouldn't be wrong." Hua Lin affirmed, "The Key of the Zodiac can use her blood to guide us to the tomb of the mistress, which proves that her connection with the mistress is better than anyone in the royal family. I just didn't expect that her The level of blood relationship is higher than that of First Embrace."

Xia Fan naturally knew who the girl they were talking about was.

"But no matter how you look at it, Qianyan doesn't want a real blood race?"

The most notable difference is the xinxing technique.

Whether it is a first embrace or a shadow, they are all abilities that high-level blood races are born with.And Qianyan's xinxing spells are top-notch, good at turning water into ice, just like other living dead.

"She is indeed not a blood race." Hua Lin nodded, "This may be a special case—as a child of the king of the Eastern Empire, she may have received some blessings from King Yong, which caused some abnormalities in her body. change, become what it is now.”

"Afterwards, Qianyan was taken out of Baiyao Mountain by the remaining people, and finally lived in seclusion in Fang's house?" Xia Fan mused, "The rest of the living dead are probably caused by Qianyan's blood."

"The fact should be like this..." Freighton agreed, "That child... no, although Master Qianyan is not a blood race and does not know the method of first embrace, but the power flowing in her blood will not lie. It should not be difficult for the other family to obtain descendants in this way."

If so, everything makes sense.Xia Fan thought to himself, why the living dead have such a long lifespan, why their bodies are frozen in a certain period of time, and their memory will be lost after recovering from a serious injury... These are all because of Qianyan.Her blood power is incomplete, completely different from a naturally born monster like Li, and the Qi bestowed by King Yong is also playing a role.Therefore, in a sense, the living dead can be regarded as man-made monsters. If they don't continue to extract the original blood from Qianyan, this vein will disappear completely sooner or later.

He can also understand why Qianyan's life experience will be completely erased, no matter how she is, she is a descendant of King Yong, and she is also a person who gathers the strength of the two clans.If such an existence is publicized, it will either ascend to the throne in the sea of ​​corpses or blood, or it will be wiped out by the court.

Facts have proved that Qianyan's identity has been kept the strictest secrecy. Not only does she not know her origin, she even served for Yongchao for a while, and overthrew the rule of the last Yongwang in the Battle of the Six Kingdoms.And the group of people who took Qianyan away from the mountains may be the founders of the Fang family, but the owner of the family never revealed a word to future generations except for passing on the coins.

Only when Qianyan wants to find out this life experience, can he break the seal in the courtyard and see these murals that have been sealed for more than a hundred years.

"What are you going to do?" Xia Fan looked at Princess Muye and Fei Leiden.

The two looked at each other for a moment before Hua Lin said, "Since the mistress wishes to sleep with King Yong forever, we will naturally respect her decision and reseal this tomb. As for the life experience of the new mistress, we want to make the decision Leave it to you."

"Me?" Xia Fan asked unexpectedly.

"Yes. After all, Lord Qianyan is not from Natatin, so she probably won't have much interest in Siristi's power struggle. Knowing this background and keeping it hidden will not make much difference to her." Hua Hua Lin said slowly, "I can see that Lord Qianyan trusts you, so it is the most appropriate way for you to decide whether to tell the truth."

"...I see." Xia Fan pondered for a while, then nodded and replied, "What about Her Royal Highness? Now that the mystery of the mistress' whereabouts has been solved, where are you going next?"

"I also hope that one day I can follow in the footsteps of the mistress, visit various wonders on the Eastern Continent, and then find a suitable place as my tomb." Hua Lin said with a frank smile, "But in that Before, Jinxia City was very good. And the bank has just opened, so you should also need the help of Mr. Three Eyes, right?"

"Of course." Xia Fan smiled back, "In addition, I can guarantee that no matter where you go in the future, Jinxia City will always keep your place."

……

The next day, Xia Fan was also planning to return to Jinxia City from Baiyao Mountains.

He and Mo Yun spent the whole night picking out a large number of standard talismans that could be put into use immediately, and planned to build a small transmission station first to verify the feasibility of energy transmission between the two places.It is important to learn the system knowledge stored in the patio database, but it is also very urgent to transform the patio resources into real benefits.

King Yong already knew what happened in the courtyard area, and the Qixing Privy Council obviously would not sit idly by and watch the failure of the previous battle for Yazhou Harbor. Jinxia City must absorb the power of the escape tower as soon as possible, so as to more safely deal with the challenges brought by the enemy.

As for Sikong watching over the patio, he wouldn't worry about his opponent being able to infiltrate for a while.

But at the moment when the carriage door opened, Xia Fan and the others suddenly saw a woman they had never seen before——

"The special train to the climbing station is about to depart. Passengers, please wear protective clothing and take your seats in order." She raised her hand and said, "I will provide service for you all the way."

Chapter 796 I'll be there

"..." Li and the others looked at each other, and it was not difficult to hear that the woman in front of them had the same tone as the electronic voice of the escape tower.

But what really made them hesitate was the person's appearance.

Although the other party looked like a human being, with a little closer inspection, it was easy to find many abnormalities on his body.For example, her eyes are extremely complicated, and there are many rings stacked on top of each other in the pupil, and even a glimmer of light can be glimpsed.Her hair is a rare green color, tied into a single ponytail with a hair tie, and hangs almost to her waist, but the hair does not seem to be stretched out naturally, and under the light of the car, there is a tinge of light. Layer with a light orange iridescence.

In addition, there is a string of characters marked under the woman's collarbone, which are not tattoos or brand marks, but crystals embedded in the skin.When she speaks, this string of crystals will also flicker with the ups and downs of her tone, which is definitely not a characteristic of normal people or monsters.

Of course, Li paid more attention.

As a keen fox demon, she immediately noticed that this person was not breathing.The woman's chest didn't rise and fall, and her nostrils didn't move at all, which made her tail frizz-in a sense, only dead people would be like this.If it wasn't for the fact that the other party didn't show hostility, her Lei Fa was about to attack.

"Uh... Sikong?" Xia Fan was the first to react.

"Exactly." The woman tilted her head, "I wonder if this shape can meet your requirements?"

Li and the others cast their gazes over.

Xia Fan quickly said in his heart, "When did I ask for this?"

"'Don't open your mouth suddenly, can you? Anyway, let me be mentally prepared.'" She replied with a recording, and this sentence was the original voice of Xia Fan before, "The so-called psychological preparation of human beings starts from the eyes. , that is, we need to see a dialogue entity, and this body is a suitable anchor.”

The former was dumbfounded for a while, but it had to be said that this was indeed in line with the logic of the system.

"So during the time you disappeared, you were looking for this?"

"I was just planning to create a stereoscopic projection, but since you are leaving the escape tower area, you still hope that I can provide technical assistance. The projection obviously can't do this." Sikong quickly replied, "So I can only use the multifunctional Auxiliary dolls to meet Omega's needs."

Multifunctional doll...

Xia Fan has already seen that, in terms of realism alone, this artificial human is obviously quite different from a real person, and this difference is by no means limited by technology, but deliberately created.

"Because there are artificial life forms to fill the needs of pleasure, the simulation body of the mechanical structure does not have to be exactly the same." Siccon seems to have guessed his thoughts, "In fact, this generation of dolls has been discontinued a long time ago , even the reserve in the escape tower is not much. If you want this body to solve more needs, I can also try to transform it..."

"No, there's no need, this is fine." Xia Fan interrupted quickly, "Let me introduce to you, she is the consciousness body of the escape tower, named Sikong. The voice you heard before, in a sense She said it all. In order to ensure the smooth completion of Jinxia City’s energy drainage project, she will return with us and provide technical support for the project.”

Mo Yun's eyes were straightened, "You mean...she is an organ carrying a soul?"

"Uh...you can understand it that way."

"Can I, can I touch her?"

"This..." Xia Fan didn't expect Mo Yun to make such a request suddenly, so he could only look at Sikong himself.

"Although her behavior is very offensive, I have no complaints, because this is just a clone." The latter said directly with his thoughts, and there was even a hint of arrogance in his tone.

No, this guy is really becoming more and more human.

Seeing Xia Fan nod his head slightly, Mo Yun started to work around Sikong like a treasure. It can be seen that she is very interested in this kind of mechanism man who can move freely - after all, in the past, a four-legged mechanism beast could make people The machine building bureau was in a state of desperation, and after being changed to the two-legged Xuanwu, it could only meet the requirements of marching, and it was not at the same level as Sikong, a creation that was no different from human beings in every gesture.

"If this Sikong... girl walks with us, what will happen to the Jingjing District that day?" Li Kuo came over and whispered, "Wouldn't it just be paralyzed?"

"You worry too much, she didn't actually leave the patio area, but she can see farther with the help of this body." Xia Fan explained, "Of course, before the real seamless communication is established, Sikong can't do anything about it." Instantly send the message back to the courtyard, so you can temporarily treat her and the escape tower as two individuals."

"It's the same person, but two individuals?" Li scratched his ears, his face puzzled.

Xia could only smile. The person who controlled this doll was undoubtedly Sikong's backup. In the patio area, the data on both sides could be quickly communicated and merged, so they could be regarded as the same person.However, in places where the signal from the courtyard cannot be transmitted, the puppet can only rely on the stored system to act, thus forming an information gap with the courtyard. From a human point of view, there is a difference in the "memory" of the two.

It's just troublesome to explain this to everyone, and once the energy transmission is connected, seamless communication can also be established, and the backup will be the same as the main body at that time, so he didn't intend to go into details.

"By the way, did Venerable Shengtian ask you for something yesterday?" Xia Fan changed the subject.

Li's expression froze suddenly.

Then the blush spread on her cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"No, it's nothing..." The fox demon turned her eyes away, subconsciously wagging her tail, "She just wanted to chat with me about homework."

"Family?" Xia Fan raised his eyebrows. According to the agreement, Li would accompany Venerable Shengtian during these days and nights in the courtyard. In theory, there would be a lot of time for chatting, so there was absolutely no need to call her over during the day.

"Yes, yes..." Li's face was almost cooked, "What do you think we can talk about, just the experience of some people who have been there—no, some experience in life..."

The fox demon seemed to feel that there was something wrong with his words, so he simply took a few steps forward and dodged in front of Venerable Shengtian, making Xia Fan lose the opportunity to ask questions.

The latter's curiosity could not help rising to its peak.

This was the first time he encountered such a situation. In the past, no matter what Li asked, she always answered everything.

If you let Sikong go back at this time, it should not be difficult to find the record of the conversation between the two at that time.

But Xia Fan thought about it and decided to give up the idea.

Since Li didn't want to answer, he had his own reasons in all likelihood. If he used surveillance, he always felt that he was doing something bad.

If Li finds out by accident, the consequences may be quite serious.

After weighing it for a while, Xia Fan finally pressed this little question into his heart.

Chapter 797 Power from the West to the East

A week later, a huge tower was erected in Jinxia City.

The base of this tower is a spiritual tree - under the catalysis of the elves, it changed its appearance almost every day, and soon stretched to nearly ten feet high and two feet thick.Although it is still a newborn compared to the core of the spirit tree on the tree boat, it is already the "building" with the highest scale in Jinxia City.

There is a circular staircase outside the tower, which can be used for people to climb to the top of the big tree, but there are no branches at the top of it, only a bare platform.This is why Xia Fan chose the seed of the spirit tree to build the base of the tower—it is far stronger than any wooden structure, and it can also shape the tree according to the cultivator's ideas, and it is maintenance-free for life, serving as an energy-gathering tower The "bracket" is perfect.

On the top of the platform is the talisman module transported from the escape tower.

They are combined in an orderly manner to form a regular hexahedron. When it is running, it looks like an emerald stone suspended in midair.This is not an exaggeration, but the receiver does not touch the ground, and with the green light emitted by the talisman when it is charged, it really has the aura of a fairy.

In the words of Sikong, any unnecessary contact will affect the operation of the magic weapon, so it is better to consume a little energy and lift it up by the magnetic levitation effect.

What it receives is the electric energy sent from the Baili Station—these electromagnetic waves will be continuously transformed into abundant usable energy under the amplification of the talismans, and then sent to various urban areas of Jinxia through cables.

It has to be said that this tower is full of a unique charm.

The people of Jinxia City don't know what cyber and punk are, but they can clearly feel that this tower is different.Its surface is covered with rough textures and tree tumors of different sizes, it is undoubtedly a natural thing, but on top of these tree tumors, there are many iron skeletons inserted here and there, they are the support rods of the circular staircase, and Due to the limitations of anti-rust technology, the edges of some stairs have shown maroon rust, adding an unnatural feeling to this natural tree.

But the most shocking thing is the thousands of neatly arranged cables that extend from the top of the tree to the bottom.Jinxia City has no way to manufacture these main cables for the time being, and they are all spare parts dragged from the escape tower warehouse.They seem to constitute another skin of the tree tower, in stark contrast to the chaotic bark texture.

"Master Mo, the people below have confirmed it! There is indeed a shock sensor!" The craftsman of the Mechanism Bureau reported.

"Very good, check its size and stability according to the scheduled plan." After Mo Yun finished his instructions, he walked to Xia Fan and Sikong, "The effect of this magic weapon is better than expected. Hundreds of miles to transmit."

Wireless power transmission is not exactly cutting-edge technology.

Only when the energy is cheap enough that you don't mind the loss will it really be a practical technology.

In addition, there is Sikong as the general engineering consultant, so Xia Fan is not surprised by this result, "This is just the beginning. The benefits brought by the standard magic weapon will completely change the whole world, and what will it become in the end?" It's hard to predict, even for me."

Mo Yun took a deep breath, turned around and walked down the tower, "Then I won't be here to accompany you two. There are still many things waiting for me in the Machine Building Bureau."

Xia Fan smiled and didn't say anything more.

Recently, Mr. Yun is almost fully motivated, either at the work site or on the way to the site.According to Ai Li and others, she only slept once in three days, and one sleep was only a few hours.Fortunately, Mo Yun is a person who senses Qi, and his physical fitness can still withstand such high-intensity busyness, otherwise Xia Fan would consider using drugs to force her to rest for a while.

Of course, he could also understand why the other party was so busy.

Leaving aside the precious knowledge in the patio database, the precise weights and measures and definitions alone are enough for the Jinxia Mechanical Engineering Bureau to rebuild.

During this week, the time in the office has changed to a 24-hour system, the unit of length has also been officially converted to meters, and the units of weight and volume are all synchronized to the standard of the courtyard.Although there were many mistakes and inadaptations at the beginning, any organist can realize the significance of this precise measurement system.

Coupled with the water and electricity supply project to be built, Mo Yun couldn't be idle.
