Heaven's Formula

"Then why didn't you tell me first, you have to bring it up at the Temple of the Sun?" The leader's tone became a little more excited, "Do you know how much everyone expects to call back the god?"

"If I spoke to you in private, would you trust my judgment?"

"This—" The other party got stuck for a while.

"Actually, I have considered this matter for a long time... It is because it is too difficult to accept abandoning the gods, so I chose to speak out in public." The girl shook her head. On the contrary, speaking in front of most believers, it becomes a kind of thought. Even if people cannot accept it temporarily, this thought will leave an introduction in their hearts.”

"Your consideration... is to sacrifice yourself?" Sedaro frowned.

"In order to defeat the demon, Des Moines sacrificed himself." Taksis closed her eyes, "Now I need to defeat a stronger enemy, what can I not sacrifice? But I guess the church will not do that—with The full-scale evil in the Mage Tower is imminent, and every dragonborn is precious. Your Majesty should let me stay here for a while to repent, until Hera reappears in the world."

She... actually got it all right.

Sedaro couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. He originally wanted to come to comfort his capable subordinate, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't need to be comforted at all.Not only that, but she also considered all the consequences. She didn't feel the frustration of being locked up at all. Instead, she was happy with it. This kind of heart simply surpassed all dragonborns of her age.

"You bastard..." He felt more annoyed at the same time he was relieved, "Do you think that the soul search interrogation can be passed casually! If you don't handle it well, your memory will be destroyed. Turn you into a complete idiot! Even if you want to prove your innocence, don't open your mouth and talk about soul searching, okay?"

"I'm sorry, Captain..." Taksis smiled wryly, "I didn't expect it to be so exciting. If it wasn't necessary, I probably wouldn't want to go through it a second time."

"Hmph, it's good to know. You just face the wall here and think about your mistakes!" Sedaro stopped suddenly when he walked halfway, "By the way, you said that you can't rule out the use of demonic techniques... Are you sincere?"

Taksis sighed lightly.

"Supposing there is such a button, pressing it will kill many archipelago people, but it can destroy all enemies in an instant. Now the enemy has killed the Holy Wing Islands and is about to destroy the church and enslave the entire kingdom...Would you choose to kneel and surrender, or Press that button?"

Sedaro turned his head and took a deep look at her, then left the confinement room silently.

Hearing the sound of the iron door being locked again, Longnu slowly slid down the wall—just sitting and standing for a while had exhausted most of her energy.

Although the leader did not answer, she knew the answer clearly.

Any qualified member of the jury will not have a second choice.

That's enough...Taksis thought to herself, she had done her best according to the conclusion she had thought about, and as for the future trend, that was something she couldn't predict.

No matter what the final outcome is, she has a clear conscience.

……

"This is the Saleni Noble Academy?" Xia Fan smacked his lips.The No. [-] College of the Archipelago really deserves its reputation. Judging from the area it occupies, it can make Jinxia's primary and secondary schools cry with envy.

Brick-red low walls and black fences are lined up along the long street, almost endless at a glance.Through the fence, you can see all the flower gardens, playgrounds and garden landscapes in the college. In terms of design alone, it is by no means inferior to St. Blaine in Azure Fort, but the area is many times larger. It is more like a college than a college. A large-scale resort.

No wonder the tuition fees here can be as high as thousands of gold coins.

It can be said that this expense alone kicks ordinary people out of the social circle of the upper class.

"Well... not only the nobles of the capital, but also the lords of other fiefs, if they have the ability, will send their children here to be raised." Olina replied, "Learning is one thing, the main thing is to be able to learn here. Knowing that there are many descendants of celebrities, it is not difficult to make connections with the royal family or the top of the church."

Since it is a closed academy, the two can only make appointments with those who want to meet through the reception desk.Now it is the end of the month holiday, most of the students will leave school and go home to enjoy this hard-won indulgence time.Only those students whose territory is far away from Hilla, or whose family circumstances have changed, will choose to stay in the college dormitory for the holiday.

"So that's it, he's a descendant of the Okan family." The receptionist quickly found the corresponding person in the list, "Oren Okan, right? He really hasn't left school, you two will be here later, I'm here Just let him know."

Chapter 666 Brother

After a while, the door of the reception room was pushed open, and a slightly childish boy walked in.

"Olen..." Olina subconsciously stood up from her seat, and stopped when she wanted to go forward. The gap she hadn't seen for many years seemed to build an invisible wall between her and the other party.

"Sister?" The boy confirmed the identity of the visitor after a while. After a moment of stunned, he suddenly jumped into Olina's arms, "It's really you—I thought Mr. Norman Which distant relative are you talking about!"

The wall named Stranger melted instantly.

Even though thousands of miles apart, the blood connection still exists.

Xia Fan on the side showed a smile.

From Shangyuan City to Jinxia City, and then from Jinxia to Xila King's Capital, although Dragon Girl suffered a lot along the way, her wish was finally fulfilled.

"Sister, why did you come to Sheila suddenly?" After a while, the two reluctantly parted. "Is the mission to the east over?"

"No, I just have a chance to go back to the archipelago, so I came to see you..." Olina said a little embarrassed, "I thought you would blame me for being ruthless when I sent you to the academy alone without any discussion. .”

"It was weird at first." Oren pouted.

"Feel sorry……"

"But then I learned that if the former Prime Minister's conditions were not agreed, the name of the Okan family would cease to exist. What's more, the college's tuition fees are so high that they can't afford it with the family's conditions." Oren said seriously, "I The annual tuition fees are all paid by my sister, right? Relying on the privilege of the Eastern foreign affairs envoy to make money everywhere..."

"What kind of money--I'm making money in a proper way!" Olina stared, "And I have a stable income later, the situation is completely different from what you think!"

"Thousands of gold coins...stable income?" Oren asked suspiciously, "Really, you used to take me in the family business and often swindled and abducted—"

Halfway through his speech, Longnu covered his mouth.

Olina glanced at Xia Fan secretly, and coughed casually, "Anyway, my sister didn't lie to you this time, it's just that the matter is more complicated, and we can talk about it later when we get back."

Oren looked at her curiously, "Sister, this gentleman is..."

"He, he, he is my employee, employee..."

"I'm Miss Olina's friend." Xia Fan took the initiative to say, "This time I came to the Holy Wing Islands, thanks to having her as a guide, I saved a lot of trouble."

"I see." Oren bowed obediently, "Thank you for taking care of my sister."

Xia Fan smiled back. It seems that the education at the Saleny Noble Academy is really good. It can teach a child in his early ten years so rigidly. No matter whether his thanks are sincere or not, he is impeccable in terms of manners.

"Who said he took care of me? It's obvious that I took care of him!" Olina said dissatisfied, "He's despicable and cunning...cough cough, I mean, he just looks a little despicable and cunning, but in fact...he's a good guy. people."

Oren ignored her complaints and said expectantly, "Then you don't have to leave anymore?"

"Well..." Olina hesitated a little, "I will indeed stay in Sheila for a while, but I don't plan to return to Wallonia again."

"Huh?" The boy was surprised, "But there is... the territory passed down by the family!"

"I've thought about it for a long time. Even if you and I can inherit that land, the lost things will never come back." After opening this opening, Olina's tone became much smoother, "Now there is no family property left, and the farmland is gone. It is so deserted that it needs not only money but also the hard work of several generations to revive it. Wallonia is not a place of surplus. We can take some souvenirs with us, but there is no need to take the rest The days are spent there—even if the lord changes, the people will not feel much change."

She paused, grabbed Oren's shoulders and said, "The name of the Okan family does not have to be passed down in Wallonia, we can change the place to grow the family!"

"Another place?" Oren asked a little confusedly, "Where is it?"

"Eastern Continent, Jinxia City." Olina said convincingly, "As for the industry, you can start with Feilong Express first! And there is also a school there. You don't have to finish all the courses in Salerny before leaving." The more she said, the more she felt Reason, "Anyway, after graduating, you will either go to manage the territory, or go to church to compete with other talented dragon descendants. No matter how you look at it, it will be difficult to get ahead. If you leave school early, you can save a lot of tuition fees, which is enough to get started in Jinxia. If you don't think If you have any questions, I can take you away today!"

Hey, this progress is too fast... Xia Fan couldn't help but slander, shouldn't this trip be to visit his younger brother?How did it directly develop into persuading people to drop out of school?

But Olina's idea does make sense.

There are many dragon descendants in the archipelago, and they are also nobles, so the transportation industry can't let go of their figure and can't open the situation.But Jinxia is different. There are only a handful of demons who can fly, and the only competitor has become an idol. No matter how you look at it, it is a blue ocean market.

"Actually, I also want to be with my sister..." Oren rubbed his head in embarrassment, "but I'm afraid it's not possible now..."

"why?"

"Just three days ago, I was selected by the church to prepare the Holy Son." He said with a complicated expression.

"Son of the Holy Spirit?" Olina asked in surprise, "How is this possible?"

Xia Fan also felt a bit of surprise—it could be seen that the boy was both happy and hesitant.The joy is that the selection of the Holy Son is definitely the fast track for the church's promotion, even if it is a supplementary start, it is higher than the average believer; what hesitates is Olina's words, and his statement that he wants to be with his sister is definitely not a lie.

But the problem was that he had heard from Dragon Girl before that the selection of the Son of the Holy Spirit was a long process, usually before the previous Holy Son was nearly an adult, and each process would take a year or two.Now that the Holy Son has just encountered an accident, the church is so quick to prepare for the selection of a new Holy Son, and the candidate has been confirmed in just a few days, which is a bit out of order.

Of course, if the situation of the church is taken into consideration, it can be justified to act in a hurry.

"Besides you, who else did the church choose in the academy?" Olina asked.

"It seems to be quite a lot." Oren scratched his head, "About twenty or so?"

"There are too many options..." she murmured.

"What's the matter, is there a problem?" Xia Fan noticed that Longnu's brows were frowning.

"Holy Sons are never selected from one place. Candidates often come from all over the archipelago." Olina was puzzled, "In the past round of selection, there were only about ten people, and the final round of selection was only one to one." Two people. It’s the first time I’ve heard of a situation where more than 20 people were selected by a single Saleny Academy.”

Chapter 667 Information

Thinking that the butler was outside the door, Xia Fan immediately called him in and asked about the selection of the Son.

However, the latter stated that he was only responsible for receiving distinguished guests from all parties, and did not understand the internal decision-making matters of the church.

Since Oren couldn't leave school, Olina had no choice but to press the matter temporarily, and continued to chat for a while, before saying goodbye to her brother reluctantly.

Anyway, there are three days of vacation, she can visit once a day.

Regarding the selection of the Son of the Holy Spirit, the two of them were not overly worried—even if the housekeeper didn't know, it was impossible for Taxis to not know the inside story.

As long as she is free from official duties, the reason for this matter will become clear.

The envoys lived quite peacefully for the next few days, and Xia Fan took Li and Qianyan out as usual to visit this ancient city in the West Pole.Olina goes to the market every day to buy some new and interesting things as gifts, and regularly spends three hours visiting her younger brother.During the period, the lord of Hilla City and the church headquarters also sent envoys to contact the Eastern Mission, and the three parties also set a time for a formal interview—just a week later.From their tone, Xia Fan seems to be holding a grand ceremony to officially establish diplomatic relations with Qiguo. Although this will embarrass Olina's previous identity, it is still a good thing for both parties to make it public .

Xia Fan also specially granted a holiday to the crew of the Baisha, allowing them to disembark for four to five hours a day to relax.Of course, you can't forget to be vigilant when you are on vacation. The rotation system allows the White Sand to start as usual with only one-third of the crew.

However, Taksis did not show up until the third day.

This made Xia Fan feel strange.

"Where does Taxis Yongyi usually live?" He had to ask the housekeeper about her situation.

"Miss Yongyi... She is a member of the jury, and basically has no fixed residence." The housekeeper thought for a while, "If she has no mission and needs to go out, she usually lives in the cathedral dormitory."

In other words, she hasn't come out since she returned to the church?Xia Fan thought to himself, "Then what about the head of the jury that received the mission that day? He wouldn't live in the church, would he?"

"Sir Sedaro, you mean? No, he lives in Shell Street, Uptown, about two miles from here."

"I want to pay a visit, please send me a post, this should always be within your scope of duties, right?" Xia Fan paused, "Or do you have different ways to make appointments here?"

Although the housekeeper didn't understand what the post meant, he had no doubts about Xia Fan's words, "If you want to see His Excellency Sedaro, I can help you arrange it now. As long as you are free and willing to see you, I will be the first Time to bring the news back to you."

Xia Fan nodded, "You go."

"Are you worried about something wrong with Taxis?" Li Cai asked after the housekeeper left.

"A little bit." He sat back on the soft chair, "Now that I think about it, her performance on the boat seemed too calm."

It is also the believers who witnessed the gods being swallowed by demons with their own eyes, and those members of the judging group who are nestled in the cabin all day may be the normal reaction.At that time, Xia Fan felt that Taksis's eyes were shining with light, as if she had made up her mind.Thinking back now, it was probably some kind of demeanor that put himself aside.

"No need to guess." Suddenly someone came out from behind the door, it was Fleidan, "I just received the news that Taxis has been imprisoned by the church and has been dismissed from all duties. Will you see her in a short time?" Here she is."

Looking at the dangerous look in Li's eyes, he quickly added an explanation, "I was just about to tell you this news, and I didn't intend to eavesdrop on the conversation. This is just a coincidence."

"Your intelligence network can still reach the church headquarters?" Xia Fan raised his eyebrows.

"Even the high priest in red is inseparable from gold coins in his daily life." Fei Laiden smiled, "In fact, the more civilized and prosperous a place is, the more information I can get, even if I don't look for it. They, they will also take the initiative to find me."

"What is the reason why the church imprisoned Taxis?"

"She publicly proposed to part ways with the gods at the Temple of the Sun." He roughly recounted the information he received, "This incident has caused a great impact within the church. In order to calm people's hearts, Taxis was temporarily imprisoned. High-level estimates A ruling will be made soon."

"Ruling?" Li Chensheng asked, "What will they do?"

"I don't know. The worst result is to worship the gods with the body, and the best is to be locked up for a period of time and then released. After all, she is a dragonborn, and the possibility of execution is basically zero."

"What does it mean to worship God with your body?"

"You really want to know?" Fleidon showed a playful look, "I would say, this is the most disgusting thing about flying lizards." Even so, his tone did not hide anything for the dragonborn. Meaning, on the contrary, it is said with great relish, "The way for these people to stably give birth to dragon descendants is to pass on blood, and both sides of the marriage are required to be dragon descendants, but in fact, there are always some people who will be dazzled by love. So in order to ensure the number of dragon descendants , Some sinners donate their bodies and contribute their offspring to the ethnic group, which can be regarded as atonement."

Li took a breath, "You mean, these people will be forced to—"

"It's more cruel than that. In order to ensure that the punishment can be carried out smoothly, illusions and other means of consciousness control are allowed. In a sense, this kind of criminal is worse than a slave." Freddie shrugged, " Compared to the painless, voluntary first-embrace ceremony, the behavior of these lizards is like going back to primitive tribes. Therefore, it is only natural that the Holy Wing Islands cannot win against the more civilized Nattatin."

"The problem is that what you have done to the elves is not much better." Xia Fan said coldly.

"Uh...Master Xia, you said that the actions against World Island have nothing to do with my master..." Freddie's voice suddenly dropped.

"Okay, where is the brigade in the cathedral?" he asked bluntly.

The other party was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Wait, what do you want to do?"

"Of course to see if there is any way to fish her out."

Feleton was shocked, it was the first time he saw such a bold person, "This is the capital of Hera, the headquarters of the Church of Hera! If you leave Taxis alone, she will definitely not die, but if you Anyone who intervenes will be doomed! After all, saving my master is much easier than attacking the church. Don’t you consider my proposal? If it’s just to save people who have been corrupted by demons, my master can also Help you achieve your wish."

Chapter 668 Punishment Resolution

"Don't be so excited, I didn't say to rob the cathedral immediately." Xia Fan handed him a cup of tea, "We know ourselves and our enemy in everything, so we can make the next plan... Sit down and talk slowly?"

Feleton took the tea and drank it down.No, be calm... Once you lose your composure, you will be led away by the other party.Xia Fan is indeed important, but not irreplaceable. The only thing he can't lose is the girl named Qianyan.It's just that the relationship between the two is very close, and he can't smell the aura that can separate the two parties for the time being, so it's best to keep Xia Fan in a controllable state unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Mr. Ambassador, I advise you not to get involved in the struggle within the church at any time." He said in a solemn tone, "Taksis may have other ideas, and the church will not easily judge high-ranking dragonborn Xing, but if you go, then her behavior will be suspected of apostasy. The most important thing is that this is not Azure Fort. Get up, your manpower will definitely be overwhelming."

"I understand what you're saying, but it doesn't prevent me from knowing more about the situation in case I need it." Xia Fan said slowly, "So... where is the confinement room?"

Feleton sighed secretly, "It's in the north of the Holy See area, not far from the Dragon's Saliva River. It's surrounded by high walls, and the entire church area is equipped with many protective spells, or a kind of giant magic lock, which gathers warnings and defenses." It is integrated with the counterattack, so don’t even think about imitating the rescue method of the Holy Palace.”

"I remember that this technique will set a switch password, right?"

"This is the case for a small mythical lock, but you can also see that this kind of password is easy to crack, so the mythical lock in the Sun God's Base Camp will be much more complicated-for example, the consciousness is used as the key, and only the Pope can control the spell switch. .” Fleidon spread his hands, “Of course, this is all my guess. After all, the Hera Cathedral has not encountered a real crisis since it was established, and no one knows how it works.”

"Hmm..." Xia Fan fell into deep thought.Looking at it this way, relying on brute force to win people is indeed a bit tricky, and he also knows that the other party's worries are not unreasonable.Normally, he wouldn't be worried about Taxis' situation, but the situation is different now. In essence, this is not a battle between Hera and evil spirits, but a struggle between the Church and the Mage Tower.Everyone knows the truth of taking advantage of your illness to kill you, and the enemies behind the scenes should not miss this opportunity to shake the church's faith.
