Heaven's Formula

She clearly remembered the scene when she announced that she would leave Penglai and go to the six continental countries.All the residents on the island showed expressions of disbelief, and very few people agreed with this approach.Almost under the pressure of the whole island, she made preparations for no one to follow, and set a departure date.

As a result, on that day, before the morning turned white, hundreds of people stood at the door of her bedroom with large and small bags.

It is also because of their support that she has never had a single regret in the past five years.

Then if you sing with your heart, it should be regarded as singing your own story.

Looking at the crowd at the bottom of the stage who clenched their fists, when the last chorus came, the tone was pulled to the peak——

"Instead of lingering, let's burn with all our might!"

"For the good in my heart—"

"Uncompromising until you grow old!"

——This is the story of the Penglai Dragon!

The moment the sound ended, the entire square burst into thunderous applause, and many people even shed tears.

In just one song, everyone not only saw an image of forging ahead and unyielding, but also seemed to see their own shadow.

It's just that whether the two go on the same road or run in opposite directions is a matter that varies from person to person.

Mo Yun turned his head away and rubbed his eyes quietly.

Li sucked his nose again and again, not hiding his emotion at all.

Only Xia Fan and Ning Wanjun were least affected.

Needless to say, Xia Fan, but the princess didn't have that kind of nerve at all. Even if her heart was boiling, what she wanted was to compete with the enemy on the battlefield.

But no matter what, Chi's first concert was a great success.

Xia Fan thought to himself, in this way, the last obstacle for her to become an idol has been completely removed.

……

In the attic on the other side of the square.

Looking at the gradually dispersed crowd, the sons and scholars stood in front of the window, speechless for a long time.

It wasn't until everyone was almost gone that Young Master Hu murmured, "The next reception... I'll quit."

"You—what did you say?" Someone asked in surprise.

He took a deep breath and said, "I just feel that the books at home haven't been read for a long time."

"No way, you have passed the year of weak crown, and you still want to break through the provincial examination?"

"That... I also want to take a break for a while."

"Master Qi, even you—"

"Sorry, I found that I spent too much time on socializing and socializing..."

"Then what about our reception? After Zhou Dacai leaves, there will not be many people. Mr. Chen, don't you want to persuade me? Hey, Mr. Chen?"

"Just do whatever you want."

Mr. Chen smashed the wine glass on the ground, and walked out of the room without looking back, leaving the noisy voices of the crowd behind.

He didn't want his partner to find out that he had lost all face.

After leaving the attic, the cold wind at night gradually calmed him down.

It's just the song still playing in my head.

Closing his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the figure of the singer going straight forward.

Mr. Chen realized... he had been wrong a long time ago.

Or he knew it a long time ago, but he was just unwilling to face it.

It is already necessary to do your best to get a qualified ranking in the township examination, let alone the general examination where there are many capable people?This road was too difficult, and he chose to shrink back.

But the past cannot be traced back, so what can we do even if we realize it?

Mr. Chen looked up at the stars in the night sky——

He wasted so much time.

Is it too late to correct now?

……

A week later, in the dungeon of the Privy Council.

Felynn Carter was already in despair.

He knew that the elves in Jinxia City could not have language communication problems.He declared his identity to the jailer many times, hoping to be treated as a captain should, at least not to be imprisoned in this damp and dark cell, but there was no reply from there.

Not only that, the first mate, second mate, helmsman and others who were imprisoned here were taken out one after another, but except for the blood-stained anklets, which were sent back to the cell, none of them came back.

After a week of continuous detention, Feilin didn't even have the strength to shout. The only food provided here was porridge with a bad smell and a thin quilt.The mouse likes to live in such a place, but humans can't. He doesn't know whether he will be dragged out and beheaded, or will rot here like mud.

Just as he was praying for the mercy of the goddess of the moon, footsteps came from the passage.

It was not just the jailer who heard the voice.

The captain couldn't help shrinking back, leaning against the cold wall, waiting for the fate to come.

They were finally going to do it to themselves.

The jailer was the first to appear. He hung the torch on the wall, took out the key to open the cell door, and then made a gesture of please.

Then a silver-haired woman walked into the cage.

Those slender high-heeled shoes beat the ground rhythmically, which also made Filin realize that the people who came were not from the six continental countries, but citizens from the Oceanic Region!

Could it be that... the envoy of the Kingdom of Nattatin has already arrived at Jinxia City?

"Excuse me, is your Excellency..." He asked expectantly.

"Olina Okan." The woman's slightly parted lips were as red as blood under the light of the torch, which was really pretty, but it also made Ferlin's heart sink slightly.

He didn't see any sharp fangs, and the other party's ears didn't seem too long... This meant that the other party was not a nobleman of Nattatin, and he wasn't even counted as a descendant, so naturally he couldn't be an envoy of the kingdom.

"No need to guess, I believe in Hera, not on the same path as your moon god." Olina dragged a chair and sat down in front of him, "What's your name?"

"Flynn Carter, the captain of the Invincible, the senior general of the Fourth Fleet, I have said it countless times." The captain said angrily, "Since you are also from the Oceanic Region, you should know that prisoners should be treated differently according to their status. Require--"

"That's not up to me, Mr. Captain." Wearing this elegant court robe and talking in the language of her hometown, Olina seemed to have returned to the time when she was an ambassador, "Mainlanders don't like this, they treat Captives have their own way."

"Wh, what kind of method?" He suddenly felt a chill down his back.

"It depends on the value of the captive itself." Olina said calmly, "They don't want a ransom."

"You mean, my crew...have..."

The dragon girl shook her head, but did not answer.

But this expression already showed the answer.

Feilin gasped. His first reaction was how dare Jinxia execute high-ranking captives of the empire at will, and his second reaction was that they dared to attack even the fleet. Natatyn's name might not be very useful here.Swallowing, he looked at Olina, "Since you can't control these things, what are you doing here?"

"Interrogate you, by the way... to measure your value." Olina said while playing with her silver hair.

Chapter 395 Interrogation

"Measuring value."

And the result of disposing of captives depends on the value itself.

The captain couldn't help thinking of his wife, two children and large farmland far away in the western sea.If he's gone, these things will be...

Be occupied by others!

That was a scene he absolutely didn't want to see.

"You are from the Holy Wing Country, but you are working for the mainlanders here?"

"Efficacy? Will you treat the mercenaries as your servants?" Olina sneered, "Next, you don't want to say, for the sake of Oceania, you should give me a hand? At sea, you don't regard the ships of the Holy Wing Islands as your own?"

"That was done by the pirates..." Halfway through the speech, Ferlin couldn't continue. It was indeed the pirates who did it, but Natatin did a lot of things like providing route information and even sending officers to guide the battle. .

For the competition of maritime trade, the open and secret struggles among the oceanic countries have become increasingly fierce.

This is no secret in the eyes of the nobles.

"Okay... what do you want to ask?"

Fei Lin comforted himself silently, he was not disloyal to His Majesty, but was forced by the situation, not to mention that he had tried his best to deal with it.

Who made this side too barbaric, ignoring the rules of the ocean area at all.

"Let's talk about your fleet first. The more detailed the content, the better." Olina said calmly.

This is the new task Xia Fan gave her.

And there is also an additional fee.

After learning about Chi's treatment, she hinted to Xia Fan obliquely that she could also sing, but unfortunately the latter did not agree with her self-recommendation, but only promised that she would consider adding some extra tasks for her to do in the future.Although the goal was not achieved, she was not without gain.

Now Olina has become more and more aware of the habits of this treacherous Central Plains person.

Compared with passive acceptance, he appreciates those who take the initiative to negotiate; and as long as he opens his mouth to agree, there are very few slips of the tongue.

The interrogation of Captain Nattating this time can be regarded as one of the results of the negotiations.

She didn't mind seeing the imperial people in a panic at all.

And also in order to save the family, it is much safer to interrogate the captive than to take the risk of finding out the whereabouts of the Holy Grail.

"These three ships are the capital ships of the Fourth Fleet. The main task of going to the Western Sea Region is to hunt down those fleeing elves. The commander of the fleet is the Governor of the Western Sea Region, Mr. Tular Nat, who is fighting with you on the ship. If you kill him, the empire will definitely not let it go. Although this place is far from the ocean area, Nattatin does not lack strong ships and sharp guns... If you leave me to explain, it is said that your lord refused to surrender and fought bravely. Death, there may still be a slight chance for things to turn around, after all, sacrifices on the battlefield are inevitable..."

The captain gave a general account of the fleet information, and added his own hints.Even if the former didn't ask him, the first mate and helmsman who were dragged out could still talk about it. Only if he increased his weight, could he hope to avoid going the same way as his colleagues.

"That's all? Nothing else?" Olina raised her eyebrows.

"Uh... I usually stay in the ocean area, and this time I came to the western sea area to obey orders. It is the first time to cooperate with the governor, and I don't know much about the affairs here." Filin racked his brains and said, "Yes Already... His Excellency Governor has also established a docking base on an island not far from the mainland, and the local kingdom is called Dongsheng. I heard from the Governor that if the empire intends to open up the mainland, it can be used as a springboard."

It turns out that Natatin has reached out so far, Olina thought, this is valuable information.After all, other kingdoms are still at the stage of sending ambassadors, while the empire is already building frontier ports.

"So..." she lowered her voice, "Tural is also for the Holy Grail?"

The captain's expression froze, obviously this was not what he wanted to talk about.But under the aggressive gaze, he could only nod slightly, "I don't know much about it, but I heard from the mage that the Holy Grail is not a gift that belongs exclusively to Oceania. It may appear in any corner of the world. The Continent and the Southern Sea of ​​Twilight, or any other areas that we don't know about, all include...even, the Black Barrier Area."

"Black barrier area? What is that?" Olina frowned.

This is considered a secret, but it is not such an important secret. After weighing the pros and cons, Flynn Carter decided to tell it.Most of the upper layers of the Holy Wing Islands have heard about it, but the woman in front of her didn't know it, "The border of the world, the end of the sea, or the land of nothingness. Anyway, that area is very strange, I I haven’t been there personally, but some people in the fleet have been close to the black barrier area, saying that the sea water there tends to be still, and the closer to the end, the slower it gets, and after crossing the black barrier, there is nothing, as if the earth is empty Same."

"How big is it?" Dragon Girl asked subconsciously one after another, "Has anyone ever gone in?"

"Water can't get in, and neither can humans. Of course... there may be some special passages in it. As for the scope..." Ferring paused, "Boundless."

"How is it possible?" Olina immediately questioned, "The world is round, as long as you walk in one direction, you will naturally find its boundary."

"Of course I understand the truth." The captain sighed, "But the man said that no matter how far the expedition team went, they couldn't find the place where the black barrier was closed, and they couldn't return to the original point. That's why some people call it the sea. The end of it, not just a barrier."

It was a contradiction, Olina sensed.If it is truly boundless, then there should be many ships discovering its existence.The Holy Wing Islands can also be regarded as one of the frequent visitors to open up the ocean, and such strange things should not be missed.

"Which sea area is the black barrier you are talking about...?"

"In the area of ​​the Permafrost Sea, only the Imperial Navy has the courage to go deep into that polar region." The captain said quite proudly.

This is information that sounds interesting but is of little use. Olina raised one leg, and the only thing she can learn from it is that in order to get in touch with the Holy Grail, the Natatyn Kingdom has invested much more energy than other competitors.

There shouldn't be much else to know about it.

The other party is just an ordinary person, not a Natatian nobleman.

In terms of the value of intelligence, this person is obviously not as good as the dead governor of the Western Sea Region.

Thinking of this, Olina asked the last question, which was also the key to Xia Fan's commission, "As you can see, Jinxia City does not have a fleet in the traditional sense. The rulers here hope to change this. They have technology and resources , the only thing is that I lack some experience in traveling at sea..."

The captain's heart trembled, and he instantly understood the meaning of the other party's words.

"It's absolutely not, I can't train an army for a competitor to the empire. If word gets back to Siristi, my family will all be hanged!"

"You can even train pirates, but you can't accept the employment of the mainland kingdom?" Olina shrugged, "First of all, this job is paid, and after imparting experience, your war crimes can be pardoned. Wherever you want to go, Jinxia City will not stop you."

"I can't leave this risk to my family..." Fei Lin clenched his fists.

"Really?" Olina suddenly remembered what happened to her in the dungeon of Shangyuan City. What did that treacherous Central Plains man do? "Then Mr. Captain, goodbye..." She stood up regretfully, turned around and walked out of the cell.

"Wait, wait!" Feilin quickly called to stop her.

"Huh?" Olina stopped, "Your value lies in your being a captain, but not now."
