A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

Ao Lian immediately became vigilant, this time not against Carloson, but against herself.

When she was at a family gathering, she heard Carlosson and her father talk about the girl's deeds, what had a close relationship with Ariente, what was the agent of the Church of the Sun, what did she overthrow and what demigod, to be honest, O Lian didn't care about these things the man talked about, so she didn't listen carefully.

But she is clear about being a demigod.

The new product [Luentia] is under development, and it is said that it can bring a lot of profits, and its raw material is the mysterious characteristics refined by the demigod's abnormal body.

To be able to do this, no matter how you think about it, she should be a sophisticated and strong woman, but sitting in front of Aolian is a girl who looks young and immature.

It's not impossible for Tong Yan to have such a possibility. When Cloris said the number, Ao Lian couldn't believe her ears.She originally wanted to discuss with the other party the secret art of retaining the face, but who knew - the other party was so fucking young!

Ao Lian should have a sense of distance from this girl, but the sadness of the other party can arouse the sympathy deep in the heart of every kind person.

"I heard that you are... a believer of the Church of the Sun?" Offee said uncertainly.

"Oh, I don't have a church membership, nor have I been baptized." Cloris wiped her eyes and said, "Actually, I also believe in the Star Church. I believe that God is tolerant. As long as I follow the teachings, they will appreciate it." My devout act."

Why you can become a devout Sun believer without being baptized is mainly because the place is remote, and neither the gods nor the church can control it. When Maxi chose Cloris, he cared more about the benefits the girl could bring than her specific beliefs.

As for after Maxi's death, Cloris' pious behavior has won the favor of monks and nuns, so Mines, who was born as a knight, doesn't care about these details.

Anyway, they all have terms of office, and they will return to the church to report on their duties after earning a vote. Cloris can bring benefits, and she is not some heinous heresy. What is there to delve into?Besides, the political environment of the wasteland layer and the deep realm is not suitable for a big purification.

Not long after, Carlosson changed into his regular clothes. He found a chair and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Sanna," Cloris looked at him, "Carolson, when I mentioned Shanna, your expression was not quite right, did something happen to her?"

"Sanna is currently in a good state, but there are some disagreements among the senior management regarding her disposal..."

"Dispose?" Cloris put away her expression, like a cold desert under the night, "I'm afraid this word is only used when dealing with prisoners or objects."

"That's true, Cloris, this is a secret of the association, but I think you have the right to know," Caroson looked directly into the girl's eyes, "Sanna is a curse, and she can suppress the curse. Her spiritual veins are complicated. The combination of mysterious properties, extremely high personality, which is very helpful for our research."

Cloris looked at him: "But."

"However," Carlosson said with helplessness in his eyes, "our research efficiency alone is too low, so the higher-ups want to use Shanna as the incarnation of God's descent, and ask the ancient gods to solve the problem in person."

Cloris' indifferent expression froze.

All she felt was the incomparable absurdity.

"god?"

"This is the secret of the epidemic doctor. As a participant, I can't say too much," Caroson reassured, "But you don't have to worry too much. For a big man who has lived for hundreds or thousands of years, it may be possible to execute a decision. It will take years and decades."

"You mentioned differences earlier."

Carlosson nodded and said: "Some of us also oppose this proposal. Shanna's curse is also variable for the gods. It is actually safer to gather the strength of the association to overcome the problem than to descend from the gods."

"Your gods are dying?" Cloris suddenly asked such a question.

Carlosson and Oline looked at each other.

"Sanna's characteristics are helpful to your gods. If you still choose the proposal of 'god descending' when it is safer for you to study, it can only show that you, or gods, can't wait," Cloris said. Staring at the dregs in the teacup, he frowned and thought, "God is more efficient, and you have conflicts about buying time."

Cloris looked at Carlosson, and the other party's eyes already explained part of the inference. The girl continued: "However, even if the other part of you opposes the 'God's descent', you are only worried about God's change, so Shanna is still Sacrificial items, right?"

"Cloris..."

"Well, this is not a problem I can participate in, and I have no intention of fighting against the epidemic doctor," Cloris said decisively, but still staring at Carlosson, "but at least let me visit her, okay?"

355. Cloris Desiring Wealth

If during the influx of refugees, the lives of the poor in the city that never sleeps were lingering in poverty, every ordinary person with a job in Gu Ling Ting would be considered well-off.

As for Shanna, who is under the careful care of the Life Research and Protection Association, her quality of life can no longer be compared with prosperity.Any negative emotions may induce the curse in Shanna's veins, so the epidemic doctor's requirements for the girl are almost unconditionally satisfied.

"Except for the old camel fish," Carlosson and Cloris talked about the scene last year on the way to the association, "Qifa implanted Taoyuan into Shanna's spiritual veins, and asked me to tell her, 'Living is also a matter of life. A curse, she will bear the demon of the death of a blood relative'."

This was the first time for Cloris to know about it. The girl blamed Carlos for not telling herself, but she also understood that after the epidemic doctor took care of Shanna, Cloris didn't need to face the Grace House.

To put it bluntly, in the deep world, all the forces in the city that never sleeps, plus the Church of the Sun, are far inferior to the epidemic doctors who are deeply rooted here.

"Is the old camel fish really dead?"

Cloris had a hunch about this.

During the rebuilding of Shenfeng Lake in the Evangelical Correctional Institute, Night City conducted a population census. Refugees were registered as households, and slaves had to be registered, otherwise they would be illegal.

Under such circumstances, if no one saw the shadow of the old camel fish, there was a high probability that he did die in the disaster of the ghoul, without a whole body.

"After returning to the ancient spirit court, the association asked the master of the explorer's guild to do a divination. The old camel fish is indeed dead."

"Does Shanna know?" Cloris asked again.

"..." Carlosson was silent, this was self-evident, he said slowly after a while, "Sanna's mental state is unstable, hysteria, paranoia, and intermittent depression, try not to stimulate her as much as possible. "

"Even you can't be cured?"

"Mental illness is the most difficult. If it is an ordinary person, we have countless ways to reverse his state of mind, but for extraordinary people, we have to use mild and conventional treatment methods. I know you are [Dream Walker]. To dispel the idea of ​​'dream healing', any dream may turn into a nightmare under Shanna's curse."

For ordinary mental illnesses, [Dream Walker] can gradually recover the patient by implanting happy memories and erasing misfortune, but Shanna's situation is more complicated, and the extraordinary means may also have the opposite effect due to the curse.

"Could it be Qifa's evil spirit left in Taoyuan?" Thinking of Qifa, Cloris' mood turned bad again, "He should have been killed by the fishery boss...but why did the spirit The pulse symbolizes Shannah?"

"Boss Aquatic Products?"

"Listen, Carlosson, if you're going to keep something as small as this from me, don't expect intelligence to be shared."

"But didn't you take the initiative to tell me?" Caroson smiled wryly, "I remember you have something to do with the Charity House?"

"The cult is the mortal enemy of every Sun believer," Cloris said without changing her expression, "Everything I do is to sweep away the sinners for the Holy Church."

"Okay, don't talk about those stereotypes, after all, I also told you the secrets of the association, didn't I?" Caroson sighed, "If I know more, maybe I can fight for Shanna for a longer period of time." The Church of Grace is very active in the Lost Kingdom, but we don’t have enough understanding of this emerging religion that is less than 200 years old, and they are also variables that need to be included in the calculation of high-level plans.”

"Aren't you epidemic doctors blooming everywhere? Do you still lack understanding of the Grace Church?"

"The number of epidemic doctors is a mystery, but it will always be a drop in the bucket for the vast and dangerous deep world," Carlosson said. "Before the people from the upper world brought industry into the deep world, we still lived a traditional, An ancient, closed life with limited range of motion."

Cloris could imagine the predicament.In the deep world that lacks food, is full of crises and curses, feudal and even primitive city-states or countries operate within a limited range, and complex mysterious interference and shipbuilding technology limit, only strong enough creatures can cross various airspaces alone.

The ancient magic is strong if it is strong, but it cannot be popularized. It is inefficient in construction, and it is also monopolized by the rich and powerful. Because of the lack of food and weapons at the bottom, it is difficult for the forces in the deep world to effectively develop resources.

Without resources, only high-level ancient wonders can exist for a long time. The deep world lacking functional wonders and mage towers is difficult to cultivate extraordinary people on a large scale. With such a small population, it is impossible to support successive explorers to die in the ruins, let alone Raised a lot of resources in the ruins.

Prior to this, Cloris thought about various countries that were dependent on the existence of the ancient gods, but after communicating with Carlosson, the girl felt that the ancient gods might not be reliable.

This is the disadvantage of not having money.

The construction of a spectacle requires at least hundreds of millions of Aegis, which is the financial revenue of the city that never sleeps for hundreds of years.Moreover, if the construction of the spectacle does not bring positive benefits, it can only be a money-losing product. This is also the reason why functional wonders are so popular. Even in the early stage of the construction of the Glowing Tower, the Church of the Sun must consider the economic benefits it brings, otherwise Even draining a city will make it difficult to support it.

Not to mention the spectacle of garbage like wine pools and meat forests, not to mention high consumption, but only going out and not getting in, it will not produce positive benefits for the economy at all.

Cloris, who had the best memory, could not help but think of Ilona.

The elf once said that she could support several wonders, and even said that she could spend money to tailor them for girls!Although she had no power to fight back against Arista back then, and she was suspected of flaunting her wealth to save her dignity, but...

Carlosson noticed that Cloris was a little distracted. For [Dream Walker], it is not a problem to be able to focus on two tasks at all. It is not a trivial matter to let such an extraordinary person be distracted. He thought that Cloris was thinking about the situation of the Charity House , so I asked: "Do you have a clue about the Grace Church?"

"If she's really interested in me, can I deceive..." Cloris muttered in a faint voice, noticing that Carlosson was staring at her, she raised her head and asked, "What?"

"Grace Church..."

"Oh, we chased and killed Qifa who was seriously injured that day. I think he fled to Wenk and stripped the symbol of the spirit veins. Later, he was swallowed by a weird fish wholesaler who bought cloaks. But now, I always feel that there is a problem with 'Taoyuan' .”

Hearing Cloris' absent-minded answer, Caroson was even more curious about what could be more important than Shanna. He asked, "What about the personality of the weirdo? How do you evaluate the strength of the Grace Church?"

"God-endowed." Cloris simply replied.

"How did you defeat him?" When he was in the clinic, Carloson still felt extremely oppressed by the strange method that devoured 10,000+ creatures even if he was seriously injured, let alone the God-endowed who devoured him?

"Soldiers against soldiers, kings against kings, we naturally have trump cards to deal with the god-endowed." Cloris was vague.

Rich indeed, Elf!

Not only is it an extraordinary person who is looking for the third divine skill, but he is also a great magister. If a specific reference object is needed, then Cloris Lian, who knows the Oberlan Gate Opening, the Shadow Magic Pool, and a few simple secret spells. No qualifications for assessing junior magicians!

The amount of knowledge required will definitely increase exponentially!

Speaking of which, it has been almost two years since I left Faljar.

"Carolson," Cloris asked, looking at the thin man beside her, "Can you get a more detailed map of the sea?"

356. Weaving

Carlosson was entrusted by Cloris to help collect some information about the [Spiritual Staff Officer]. He knew that two of them were produced in the Chaos Sea, so he said: "You don't have to be too eager, you can arrange other materials first. Materials, a large number of mysterious items will be sent to Gu Lingting every quarter, and there may be purchase channels in a few months."

The Chaos Seas and the Lost Kingdom are basically located on the same plane, almost the end of the world that humans can reach, and there is a gap of hundreds of kilometers from the ancient Lingting, but even if they are far away, the Seas of Chaos and the Lost Kingdom are relatively "livable" in the deep world. ", coupled with the vast territory, there are several short-cut vertical waterways on the way. Therefore, the connection between these two areas and Gulingting is actually closer than other airspaces.

In comparison, the straight-line distance between Hurricane Island and the snow field is more than 100 kilometers, but because of the storm, it takes a detour ten times that distance, and there is almost no communication between the two areas.

Cloris said: "I just want to know the specific situation of the Chaos Sea in advance, as comprehensive as possible. I don't want the kind of record that is scattered and far from the real situation."

Ilona is only [-] kilometers away horizontally from the place where Cloris was teleported to the deserted island by the mist from the lower bound of Faljar. letter.

Based on Faljar's position, even if Ilona reaches the seas, there will be a distance of [-] miles from the end of the route passing through Gulingting. Finding Ilona in the vast ocean is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, Cloris does not regard secondary matters as her top priority.The reason why such an idea was born is that Ilona is really good at defrauding Duojin, which is a fact that has been proven many times in Faljar, and the other is that Ilona can arrange a legal superior for her because of her identity and status. Realm identity——

The ancient spirit court still has the imprint of Tianshu and the identity star emblem, the former is the effect of the supreme wonder; the identity star emblem, which is jointly popularized by the Star Church and the Explorers' Guild, is actually bound to the soul breath, and the upper realm There might be something like that.

The girl doesn't know the situation in the upper world for the time being, so she doesn't have much urgency about it for the time being. It's just that she has been away from Faljar for two years, and she misses the little pink animal more and more.

If you want to go up, you will definitely say hello to Wojty in advance.

The existence of names such as Cangsheng and Revolutionary made the girl more aware that she needed to understand the Void Temple, after all, it was once the state religion of the Manro Empire.

After a brief exchange, the two got off the public locomotive and walked to the campus of the Life Research and Protection Association.

Carlosson showed the work certificate to the guards and asked Cloris to register for her visit, then continued to take the light rail train in the park for a quarter of an hour before arriving at her destination.

It is a temple-style building complex with a square prism roof with religious implication. From the inside to the outside, there are four, eight, sixteen, and 32 pure white prismatic square columns engraved with sacrificial pictures. Layer, Cloris felt that she had stepped into an invisible curtain.

The temple complex covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu. The flower garden in front of the central courtyard is full of snow-colored roses. More than a dozen maids and gardeners are busy inside and outside, full of life.

"Ordinary people?"

"People who have experienced mysterious accidents and have a sense of spirituality. You can call them psychics. Even if they don't have the symbol of spiritual veins or extraordinary power, after professional training, they have a certain resistance and coping ability to curses." Carlosson explained, "They are all employees of the association, who can be sent to take care of Shanna, and they have been rigorously selected to be competent in all life skills."

The efforts of the Life Research and Protection Association are not insignificant. The vast and beautiful residence and hundreds of caring employees are only for Shanna.

"Sanna has been kept in this 'golden cage' for a long time?"

"Golden birdcage..." Caroson smiled wryly, "If Shanna is in good spirits, the Zixun epidemic doctor will push her to relax within the scope of the association's park. The entire back mountain is the property of the association, and the tree of life will prevent the curse spread."

Cloris glanced at the giant tree that was over [-] feet high in the distance, and the canopy almost covered the top of the mountain, and nodded.

This is actually not bad.

"That tree..."

"The world tree planted by the epidemic doctor when he took root in the ancient spirit court can be regarded as a natural wonder. It can be contracted with a demigod and is born with spirits."

"Oh."

It is true that no disaster is to be feared.

Even if the catastrophe breaks out in an all-round way, it is estimated that it will not be able to invade the shelter of the tree of life.

Looking across the flowerbed, a pale girl sitting in a wheelchair and served by a maid is staring at the goldfish in the pond in a daze.

"That's Shanna?" Cloris couldn't overlap the delicate and delicate girl with the dying "skeleton" on the old hospital bed.

"It's Shanna."

Shanna was wearing a delicate pale yellow pleated skirt. She was still thin, but after getting rid of the inhuman life in the city that never sleeps, and after careful care by the association, she already had a healthy complexion with balanced nutrition.

A sick girl is not pretty, but with the nourishment of an infinitely materialistic life, Shanna can barely be called Xiaojiabiyu, just sitting there quietly, like a girl next door who cannot go out due to illness and attracts sympathy.

Her eyes were always out of focus for a long time, as if she was immersed in her own spiritual world. Even if Cloris came close, Shanna still didn't notice anything.

"Sanna," the maid whispered, "a guest is looking for you."

"?" The sick girl slowly raised her face.

Her long hair was carefully combed, braided and tied behind her head like a flower vine, and her supposedly rough skin seemed to have been treated and rejuvenated, making her look like a flawless porcelain doll.

Unfortunately, Shanna's eyes are always covered by shadows.

If Carolson's skinny, gloomy appearance is natural, then the sick girl is buried with a bottomless melancholy in her ashes-like mind. monument.

She looked at Cloris: "You...are?"

Carlosson squatted down and said softly, "Cloris cooperated with me in your operation, remember?"
