Heaven's Formula

"I can't do it." Hua Lin said frankly, "Maybe you think I'm stupid, but I know that I can't beat Tallius in the struggle for royal power, which is why I chose to withdraw from the battle. If I didn't agree His proposal is likely to be his victory in the end, but Celesti will die a lot of people."

"Do you care about the dead? You still have to suck the blood of others. I even heard that some elves were sucked alive—"

"Has there never been murder on World Island?" Hua Lin asked back, "I am willing to take responsibility, but it does not mean that I accept slander. This method of deliberately torturing people to death is not fundamentally different from other murders. In addition, Gao High-level blood races don't need to suck blood, we can achieve the internal and external circulation of Qi by ourselves."

Senia opened her mouth, but didn't answer for a long time.

She knew that Xia Fan must have considered the feelings of the islanders before making this decision, so in all likelihood, the other party had nothing to do with the Genocide War on World Island, and she was just venting her anger on the other party.But knowing Gui Zhi, the flame in his heart was hard to quell for a while.

In the end she chose to close her eyes and not speak anymore.

Hua Lin bowed to the elf again, and then sat back in her original position.

She was also quite surprised, she didn't expect the Eastern Kingdom to form an alliance with World Island, let alone the High Priest would trust Xia Fan so much.

You must know that the World Island in the past was an extremely closed country, and there were very few entrants, let alone drive Shuzhou to fight for the Eastern Kingdom.

There are several other demon possessors, and she can feel the powerful breath of each other.

Obviously their strength should not be underestimated.

It seems that the east is not only rich, but also the control of magic power is not as backward as the rumors say.

"All in all, now we finally have a way to save Ning Wanjun, we should rush back to Jinxia City as soon as possible." Xia Fan said, "Besides, the electromagnetic gun has been damaged, and there is no point in staying here with the tree boat. Let's go back together."

This decision was unanimously approved by all.

Anyway, during the half-month cruising, four Jiaotou boats have been sunk, which is already a heavy blow to the Qixing Privy Council.The number of captives on board has also increased to thousands, and food consumption has increased significantly, and it is indeed time to return to Jinxia for supplies.

At this time, an elf walked into the synagogue and reported to the high priest, "Master Senia, the remains of the monsters left by the enemy have been disassembled. Would you like to go and have a look?"

Senia and Xia Fan looked at each other, then nodded, "Take us there."

……

The dock area is brightly lit.

In order to reduce the possibility of accidents, the dismantling work was placed on the edge of the towed trestle of the tree boat. In the event of an accident, the roots of the tree boat can immediately push the wreckage into the water.

Before getting close, Xia Fan smelled an obvious stench.

It's like rotting meat that's been sitting there for days.

When he came to the wreckage, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, only to see that the monster whose head was pierced by himself had already removed most of its armor.Its interior is filled with wet muscles, and the veins and blood vessels on it are clearly identifiable. It is obviously not an acquired product assembled by skills, but a whole that has been grown in one step. At first glance, it looks like a skin that has been peeled off. frog.

In addition, the monster's body is not pure flesh and blood.

Because its bones were actually made of bronze.

The two sections of the copper pipe have organ structures that simulate the function of joints, and flesh and blood are wrapped on them.

"Is there such a creature in the world?" Li asked, holding his nose.

This is also the question of everyone present.

With four legs and two hands, the arms are still growing behind the back, such an animal has hardly been heard of.

If it wasn't an animal, how did the Seven Star Privy Council make flesh and blood grow under the iron shell?At least from the appearance point of view, its muscles are well-proportioned, and there is a simple blood circulation system inside to supply energy to the muscles.If Seven Stars has the ability to do this, then its surgical level is at least several levels beyond the times.

Xia Fan also noticed that this body does not have digestive organs such as the stomach and intestines, and all its energy sources can only be Qi.

"My lords, you'd better come and have a look, there are new discoveries here." Someone said suddenly.

A group of people came to the monster mentioned by the director of the Mechanism Bureau, and found that there was a human body mixed in the broken pieces of meat.

"Drag him out." Xia Fan said immediately.

Soon, several elves swarmed up and dragged the man with only half of his body to the ground.

The robe he was wearing was soaked with blood, his body was riddled with holes, almost like a piece of rag, and there was a strange rune artifact on his head.

Chapter 7 and Seven

"This monster was dragged down from the tree platform, and it was already in dilapidated condition." The officer said, "If I'm not mistaken, the pattern on this person's clothes represents Xu Guogong's loser."

"You know him?" Xia Fan asked curiously.

"Yes, Master Mo told us the story of the Mohist family and the public loser. During the Yong Dynasty, the two families joined hands to fight against the Yongwang, but later because they were in different places, they eventually turned into a relationship of competition and contest."

He took off the magic weapon on the man's head, wiped off the blood with a handkerchief, and put it in front of his eyes for a closer look.

It probably looks like an upside-down wooden basin, and the inside is engraved with complicated patterns, some of which are familiar to Xia Fan, and are still similar to the circuit diagram of Jiuyouhuo.

The problem is that Jiuyouhuo is a fairy art, and the master must pass the consciousness transplant of the Privy Council before it can be mastered by the next alchemist.Otherwise, in order to drive such a magic weapon, the public loser has to reach a whole new level of understanding of the shock technique.

Could it be that the other party has already mastered the magic weapon of immortality to the extent that most people can use it?

He turned his head to look at Qianyan, "Is there any magical artifact in the Yong Dynasty?"

The latter tilted his head, "At least I haven't heard of it. You also know that in a sense, fairy arts are the wealth that the listeners bring to the world. If they are not willing to contribute their souls, fairy arts cannot survive come down."

The little girl paused, and added, "Of course, you are an exception. In fact, I have never met anyone who can analyze my own fairy art and explain the principles. The rules of the art after a hundred years have been greatly improved. Right. So it may be reasonable for the public loser to make such a magic weapon."

Well, it seems that this thing is not inherited from ancient technology.

Xia Fan decided to ask the experts this question.

"Can you connect me to Mo Yun?"

A quarter of an hour later, a familiar voice came from the earpiece of the intercom, "I am Mo Yun, and I have something to say."

"That's right, I'm on the sea off Yazhou—"

"Xia Fan!?" The voice over there suddenly rose an octave, "Is that you, Xia Fan?"

"Uh..." He paused for a moment, "It's indeed me, I just came back from the West Pole, and I happened to meet Noah's tree boat on the way..."

"Where is the Holy Son? Did you bring him back?"

"No, but I brought back a princess, she can also get rid of erosion."

"Princess? Forget it, anyone can do it..." Mo Yun's voice was mixed with a nasal sound, "It's great, Your Highness can wake up..."

This normally cold woman would show such emotions that Xia Fan was a little reluctant to interrupt her thoughts for a while.

But after all, Mo Yun is the calm mechanism master, and he quickly got rid of the fluctuating mood, "It's good that you come back safely. What happened to Shuzhou?"

"That's true." Xia Fan told the other party about the strange attack that Noah encountered, "I think these monsters are still some kind of mechanism beasts in essence, but the driving method is very different from the mechanism techniques that were common in the past. With everyone's understanding, is it really possible for them to make something like this?"

"There is such a thing?" Mo Yun cheered up, "Can the tree boat bring back the remains of the enemy?"

Sure enough, with Miss Mo's temperament, the first thing she thought of was to conduct research on the mechanism with her own hands.

He glanced at the living dead, "There are thousands of words, so there should be no problem."

"That's good, I have to see some things before I can make a conclusion." Mo Yun replied, "The Gongshu family and the Mo family are both government-owned families, and they also undertake the responsibilities of the Ministry of Industry and the construction of the world, such as weapons, bows, and firearms. It can be produced. However, the difference is not without it. Simply put, Gongshu is good at utensils, while Mohist is good at craftsman."

"Utensils and craftsmen?" Xia Fan asked suspiciously.

"It means to refer to." Li Bai glanced at him, and his tone was full of a top student looking down on a scumbag, "A utensil emphasizes the material itself, while a craftsman focuses on craftsmanship and skills."

"Miss Li is right," Mo Yun affirmed, "Mohism's mechanism techniques are famous for their intricateness, and even I have only mastered a small part of them. In terms of mechanism components and joint processing, the public losers are much behind the Mohism , so the Wonders Appreciation Conference is not only a competition of works, but also an opportunity for the two sides to exchange technologies. Of course, this kind of 'exchange' has to pay a certain price."

"What about that tool? Could it be the art of smelting?"

"Smelting is a part of it. In fact, their pursuit of materials is diverse and beyond imagination. From snowy mountain nectar to lava and live fire, they are all within the scope of the public loser's collection. Sometimes some mechanism ideas are proposed by the Mohists, but the final realization is They are public losers because they use better materials, which greatly increases the strength of mechanism components."

"So this body is also one of the materials?" Xia Fan asked incredulously.

"This possibility is not ruled out." Mo Yun paused, "As for the magic weapon you mentioned, if everyone can understand the content of the talisman, then it is actually no different from an ordinary magic weapon. In a sense, You've already done that."

"Me?" Xia Fan asked unexpectedly.

"That's right, do you still remember the talisman of Jiuyouhuo? You disassembled part of it and made it into a talisman for strengthening the streamer technique, and taught everyone how to further master the shock technique." Mo Yun's voice became quite gratified , "Nowadays, one of the core weapons on Noah's tree boat is the enhanced streamer technique, and there are no fewer than ten people who can activate it. In other words, you have changed the rules of fairy art."

"But can public losers do this?" Li expressed doubts, "Xia Fan is by no means an ordinary listener."

"Indeed." The other side was silent for a moment, "If you say that using flesh and blood as materials can still be regarded as Gongshu's housekeeping skills, it is a bit unusual to make fairy arts into magic weapons. Xia Fan, can you describe it? Can you tell me about the shape of that magic weapon?"

The latter described it according to it.

"So that's it," Mo Yun said thoughtfully, "Only some of the beasts hide people, which proves that the operator can use it to control other drones and beasts. Wearing it on the head can also prove that this technique is related to consciousness. Guess it's a fairy art similar to Kanshu. It's really not something that the public loser is good at... By the way, you can see if it has other openings or secret doors, so I can confirm a guess."

"I'll look for it..." Xia Fan knocked on the magic weapon, and soon found that its top was thick, and the inside seemed to be hollow, "It really is."

He made his fingertips grow like hooks on dragon wings, pierced into the gap of the magic weapon and pried lightly, and the entire top opened in response.Some ashes flew out of it, as well as half an unablated purple talisman.

Chapter 7 and Eight Return

"Soul Gathering Talisman?" Li showed a look of surprise, "I knew it would not be that simple to drive this monster."

Yan Qing and Qian's expressions were a little disappointed.

One of the main purposes of the Seven Stars is to eliminate the evil spirits in the world and restore the peace of the people.Although the soul-gathering talisman is allowed to be used, the requirements are extremely strict, because spells related to the soul will increase the possibility of evil spirits appearing.Before this, they had never heard of this kind of mechanism beast controlled by the Soul Gathering Talisman, which meant that the Qixing Palace had expanded the scope of use of the Yongchao Forbidden Technique.As for where the next threshold is, no one can tell.

As former members of the Seven Star Privy Council, the two naturally had mixed feelings.

The only lucky thing to say is that they chose to join Jinxia City instead of fighting to the death with the three princesses.

"Is the public loser studying chaos?" There was silence on the audio instrument for a while, "To be honest, I don't dislike this approach. As a mechanism engineer, I always want to find out all the unsolved things and use it to improve myself If they have access to such spells, it is normal for them to conduct research. In short, if you preserve the wreckage and bring it back to Jinxia, ​​I might gain something."

"Uh... are you doing research in the machine building bureau?"

"Don't worry, I won't let evil spirits appear in the city of Her Highness the Princess." Mo Yun said unhappily, "Exploration belongs to exploration, I'm not the kind of fanatic who puts mechanism skills above everyone else, otherwise, so what? possible--"

"Maybe what?"

"No, pretend I didn't say it." Her voice suddenly faltered, "Anyway, come back quickly."

Then the signal was cut off.

"Did I ask the wrong question?" Xia Fan spread his hands.

"Who knows." Li shrugged, "Probably because you don't believe her enough."

"I also think that Miss Mo is a very stable woman. Lady Xia was a little rude just now." Senia agreed, "When you were not around, she was doing her best for Jinxia."

Olina and Hua Lin also agreed, and even Qianyan nodded slightly.

For a moment, the scene turned into a denunciation meeting of all the women against Xia Fan.

Two weeks later, the Noah returned to its familiar port.

It took almost three months from departure to return. Although it was much later than expected, and there were some voices of doubt in Jinxia City, the overall situation was still stable—the grassroots went deep into the affairs of every street and alley. The bureau has displayed a strong governance capability, whether it is school and recruitment examinations, business and logistics, they are all operating in an orderly manner according to regulations.

The pier in September is still very busy. Compared with when Xia Fan left, the biggest difference is that there are many more big ships.

"Where do these ships come from?" He couldn't help but wonder.

Judging from the shape, they are not inland river vessels of the six continental countries, but all three-masted sea vessels.

"There are many, there are people from the Holy Wing Islands, as well as those from Shazhou Country and Rangis Ocean Country." The high priest replied, "They all heard your rumors and knew that the East and West have reopened the sea route, so they ran over See what business is available. No one has a better sense of money than them."

Xia Fan blinked, he didn't expect his trip to have such an effect.

It seems that the circulation of internal information in the West Pole is not generally fast.

"Come on, let's go to the villa."

……

This is the Eastern Continent.

Princess Mu Ye opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out curiously.

In front of me is a pair of strange and familiar scenes - the familiar part comes from the description in the travel notes. The people here are dressed differently from those in the Tranquility Sea countries. The wide-sleeved robes and short gowns and trousers are the most common ones here. Clothes, women wear wooden hairpins on their heads, while men wear high coils, and almost none of them have short hair.

But more is still the unfamiliar part.

The houses in the city are not as messy as described in the travel notes, and the ground is covered with mud, but they are as neat and orderly as Nattating.A bluestone long street passes by, with houses of the same shape on both sides, which is pleasing to the eye.The biggest difference is that the houses here are mostly a mix of brick and wood, with no more than two floors, which are much lower than the brick houses in the metropolis.

But she prefers the city.

Because the air that blows through is extraordinarily fresh.

There is no sewage and excrement on the side of the street, and the lingering pungent smell disappears here, and there is no need to worry about the sudden shadow falling from the top of the head.

Hua Lin also noticed that half-beasts were mixed in the crowd.

These populations who have been suppressed and excluded in Silisti seem to be completely undisturbed in Jinxia City. They shuttle through the streets like ordinary people. If it is not for their unique appearance, they have almost completely integrated into the local people.

"It's a nice place," she whispered.

"Your Highness?" the three-eyed Freighton who was sitting opposite the princess asked.

"I can't see a few wandering souls. The peaceful atmosphere here means that people's lives are stable and comfortable." Hua Lin replied.

"Isn't that the case with Nattatin?"
