A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

Wolsey knows that Cloris bought land around Hurricane Island, and when the goblins compete with slave owners and other opponents, they also pay a lot of subsidies for their subordinates. "Fighting" has defeated the enemy, and the company's operation can only be said to be barely improved.But Wolsey didn't want to improve, and the gains from defeating his opponents were not used to fill the shortfall. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and intensified his borrowing through various channels.

On the surface, Wolsey's company has been thriving and thriving.Under the guidance of the Gospel Correctional Institute, they have recently completely "beat" the slave merchants, and even more generously, buying several islands around the big storm one after another.However, she ordered people to seal off the island and prohibit outsiders from exploring. The newspapers all speculated that this young goblin businessman had discovered a great rich mine.

In addition, Wolsey threw a big banquet and had a harmonious relationship with the city council.Even the former enemy, after winning the victory over the slave traders, Wolsey showed tolerance towards them, and everything was settled.

"Of course, that's just Ms. Wolsey's personal debt and her company's. Considering that she essentially obeys you, the evangelical correctional institution's shareholding ratio is very low, and there is only a superficial business relationship with her, so the risk is not high. It affects us..."

Peggy added, "At the same time, it is because of you that I can gain a little insight into Ms. Wolsey's actions. On the bright side, her company is still doing well, and she has established a shell company in the lower fog layer to invest in the construction of the island." , and only employs workers from "big charitable human resource management companies". It is not an exaggeration to describe the "profit" by leaps and bounds through left-handed and right-handed, but I doubt whether the islands she developed really have output. In addition, recently, she Got a lot of money from some of the businessmen in the city council - the businessmen who were against us."

"Do you think she's going to betray me?"

"No..." Peggy said with a wry smile, "Ms. Wolsey and the Canary Trading Company joined forces with the Explorers' Guild of the Nightless City to set up a securities company. I heard that she came to Gulingting this time to seek listing."

fraud!

This was the immediate reaction that popped up in Cloris' mind.

If the fucking citizens really believe her evil, they will go to the rooftop the next day!

But in a blink of an eye, Cloris calmed down again, wondering what was going on in Wolsey's head.

It is not easy to be listed on the Gullingdu Stock Exchange, and there are many risks that may be exposed to hype market value after listing.During this period, if the capital chain breaks, her fake prosperity will be exposed at any time.Moreover, this goblin was actually able to get investment from those businessmen who were sitting on the fence. Could it be possible to get taken advantage of by doing so?

Whether Wolsey has a good plan or not, this is a big gamble, and the greedy nature of the goblins has been exposed.

Thankfully, as Paige said, the Evangelical Reformatory didn't have much of an interest in Wolsey's company.It's just that it's a bit of a pleasure to be lucky. If Walsey really falls, it will definitely affect all aspects of the city that never sleeps.

"This dwarf who doesn't see the big picture! And you, Peggy, did you take a lot of benefits from the dwarf in the past?" Cloris snorted coldly to Peggy who bowed her head and said nothing, "This is the last time, let's not be an example... Pay me attention to her movements, as soon as she comes to Gulingting, she will immediately write encrypted letters to the temple. After three months, I will personally strip her inside and out to see how much secrets this guy has hidden! "

494. Route

In order to stay in Gulingting as a secretary, Peggy can be said to have spent all her money.Theoretically, she doesn't need to report everything to Cloris in detail. What Peggy has is only the information and part of the finances of the Gospel Correctional Institute, not the real chief steward who leads all parties under Cloris' command, so Wall As long as the tricks made by Qian do not harm the interests of the Gospel Correctional Institute, Peggy can indeed choose not to report.

Cloris could roughly guess Paige's reason for ignoring Wolsey's actions—in whatever form she must have benefited from the goblins.

This is normal. Even Sister Agatha of the Evangelical Correctional Institute did not dedicate more of her budget to church business and nuns' life improvement and image building because of her inner bias.

Except for the relatively pure nuns of the Church of the Sun, none of the right-hand men of Cloris's family is kind, they are either cunning, smooth, or greedy. How impartial can be.

And most of these followers are multi-faceted, like Walsey Calle, no matter how greedy she is, Cloris knows that this guy is well-known and highly respected in the Grace House, and he knows how to use Wealth buys people's hearts, and at the same time throws the blame for being blamed on others.

To correct this kind of atmosphere, the ability of the Evangelical Correctional Institute is temporarily out of reach—the relationship between Cloris and Sun Church in Zuixiang is like a king and a monarch. Even if she lacks manpower, she cannot really seek support from the Church of the Sun to transfer that power.

Robert had just killed a group of radical sun worshipers in the church next to the casino on the left and the brothel on the right in the Bierre district. How could the girl invite another group of evil spirits?

If greed is abominable, many of the priests of the Church of the Sun are even worse than Wolsey.

Before returning to the temple, Cloris agreed with Peggy's idea of ​​staying in Gringing Court to help, but she asked the woman to stay in the Lake of Watch and command remotely, and hand over most of the work that required on-the-spot inspections to members of the Indigull Society do it.

holy island.

As the location of the holy temple, the area of ​​the main island is slightly larger than the city that never sleeps, 32 kilometers from east to west and [-] kilometers from north to south, with a light ladder in the center that resembles the pillar of the night running through it.Fantastic exotic flowers and plants grow all over the place, surrounded by small islands surrounded by giant green radishes, like stars full of vitality, and the main island surrounded by beautiful meteorite belts, with sharp and steep outlines.

The most residents on the island are not human beings, but dream creatures as transparent as jellyfish, where reality and fiction intersect, and all kinds of fairies.

It has to be said that whether it is the Life Research and Protection Association or the Church of the Stars, they all like to coexist with goblins and other beings that are in harmony with nature.

After checking at the checkpoint on the artificial island on the lowest floor, Cloris and the nuns abandoned the airship leased from the airline and climbed up to a height of more than 6000 meters by light ladder.

Through the light curtain, Cloris was able to see the honeycomb-like internal structure of the Holy Island from a distance. The group of cats riding on the silk carpet manipulated the huge cranes and conveyor belts. These species sometimes turned into beasts, and sometimes turned into a flexible dreamy wind, In the lattice tavern near the light ladder, there is an orange cat holding a wine barrel in and out of the cracks in the dreamland.

The last time she came to the Holy Island, Cloris boarded the ship of the Star Luo Temple directly to the floating island where the temple was located at the top of the light ladder, and had no chance to see the interior of the main island.

"The Soul of the Cangling."

Cloris had read about this kind of ethnic group when she was looking through extraordinary materials.

Dreamland is a place where countless wills and wills gather, and communicates with all known and unknown worlds. If the galaxy is the horizontal breadth of the world, Dreamland represents the vertical depth.

Among them, most of the dream creatures are also gathered by consciousness. From the initial dull and empty spiritual polymer, various (color) life forms and intelligent races have evolved.

"The Soul of the Cangling" itself is a dream essence that brings spirituality to the creatures in the fantasy dreamland. Most of the friendly, normal, and intelligent dream creatures have the ingredients of the soul of the Cangling, so the foggy world Scholars also use this name to summarize all the dream species with the soul of the soul.

But it's not appropriate to call the species in front of you just by this. Calling them the soul of the soul is like calling the sub-humans "beasts", or even worse.

"This is a fallacy in some books," Eve reminded. "In fact, if you just call it a cat, they will agree with it more. These proud Elura people do not reject the identity of being a cat."

There is basically no load in the airspace of the Sea of ​​Floating Stars, and with the protection of the light ladder, the nuns quickly ascended the lingering clouds and entered the temple.

After parting with the seniors, a group of nuns chirped and returned to the Yingya Palace on the suspension rail, making this deserted palace sing and dance again.

"Hey, what are we going to do today? We haven't started selecting classes yet." The rabbit-eared, introverted and cautious Luo Da said, "Why don't we all go to the library together..."

"Look what I brought—" Cloris took out two boxes of mahjong from the ring.

"It's space magic! Mahjong!" Lucia cheered with her arms raised.

"Okay, okay," Menglian took Luoda's arm cordially, and said with a smile, "It's not too late to confirm the course with the senior tomorrow, we just moved into Yingya Palace, and we need to get together... "

Who is Cloris, the master of the palace, the future high priest of Tianshu temple!This position is almost equivalent to the Pope's deputy. Of course, Meng Lian has to be tied to such a hero. Therefore, since Cloris wants to play mahjong, how can she not help him to unite his partners?

"Okay then..." Luoda couldn't hold back Menglian's "earnest" invitation, watched Cloris set up a stone table in the courtyard, and half pushed and half sat on it.

……

The snow wind was whistling and fierce like a knife, and a medium-sized sailboat whose main body was a hollow giant was sheltering from the strong wind in a bare snow mountain cave.

The speed of an ordinary ship is about [-] to [-] kilometers per hour, but when driving against the wind in the constant vortex of the hurricane, even with the maximum power of Sasha's engine, it can barely be overturned by the strong wind. , The strong wind can even tear the iron sheet.

So Sasha needs to wait for the wind direction to turn, and then raise the sails to ride the wind.Her spiritual vein symbolizes [Branches of All Things], engraving magic into every corner of the hull, making this ordinary transport ship as strong as a warship. It's Goddess Luck.

"Idiot, don't hide and drink, and freeze the bottom of the cliff for me, these damn things..."

Shasha waved her staff, and the transport ship attached by [Branch of Everything] was like an extension of her body, and the hull grew in the frozen soil under the cave.

"Shh!"

Numerous sharp thorns picked up strange-shaped stone shells from the soil. These stone shells were pierced by branches, and the corrosive solution dripped down. Sea anemone-like whiskers immediately squirmed out of the shells, and the tips of the whiskers grew suckers full of grapples. , They dug deeply into the spikes, trying to absorb nutrients from the wood spines.

With a wave of Salsa's staff, more rotten flowers bloomed instantly from the wooden thorns, and explosions of venom fusion sounded, and the broken stone shells embedded gray-green blood on the surface of the hull.

"Drink to keep warm, and there are no beautiful girls here, so annoying!" Lily complained, "Why don't you freeze yourself!"

"The bone-eater pot is cold-resistant!" Sasha hit the tiger's head with a staff, "Your strength is different!"

While speaking, species with deformed stone shells broke out of the ice on the cliff outside the cave. They squirmed their ugly beards, and seemed to sense abundant energy, and climbed up the cliff.

Lily didn't care about her stubborn mouth anymore, she jumped off the deck, and a different layer of frost that seemed to be able to freeze even time spread out, and the activities of everything around her became extremely slow. The worm pot with small arms is suddenly slower than a snail.

Layers of frost condense into ice mirrors, and the brilliance of the scorching sun suddenly shines, refracting and converging between the ice mirrors, turning the climbing place of Worm Pot into a scorching purgatory in the blink of an eye, and the muscles under the stone shell are instantly carbonized, but they Still firmly stuck to the cliff, a protective cold current was released from the dead body, allowing later compatriots to stare at the high temperature and continue climbing.

"It's endless, can you sail now?!"

"The hurricane is so strong outside, and the star position sensor here is out of order. I don't know how far I can go out. If you spend all your energy on fighting the hurricane, you are thick-skinned and rough, what should I do!?"

"Isn't this the same!" Lily roared, and slapped the worm pot that jumped in front of her with a slap. Her body was surrounded by purple magic energy, which looked as evil as the abyss, but it was not as corrupt as the abyss. Feelings are very different.

"Rumble rumble—"

At this moment, the top of the mountain suddenly trembled violently, and hundreds of meters of high-temperature steam and lava suddenly spewed out from the cave under the mountain. A huge fleshy whisker protruded from the cave, and twisted towards the two boats.

"Pa-ta-pa-ta-pa-ta-"

Dense slapping sounds came from all directions, it was the sound of the bone eater pot wriggling with its tentacles.

"Come on, I'm sailing!"

Sasha inserted the staff on the deck, and a rudder-like circular magic circle formed a light curtain in front of her. With the adjustment and activation of the secret text, the originally extended spikes gathered towards the stern to form a tree, and the violent energy spread in the tree. The core is ready to go.

"Wait!"

"boom!"

The explosion at the stern burned the flesh from the depths of the cave into coke, and the hull disintegrated in the air during the advancement, but in the slow time of ice, the new stubborn shoots were growing rapidly, reconnecting the collapsed ship body.

The white tiger only had time to avoid the charging momentum of the ship, one of her paws was firmly hooked on the stretching vine, and the sturdy tiger body was carried away by the ship like a piece of paper.

"Sasha, I hate you, I dislocated my arm!!!" The rude roar roared over the howling wind.

"Bang dong!"

The vines threw the white tiger hundreds of meters away, and then fell in a high-altitude parabola, smashing a bottomless crater on the deck.

She managed to crawl out with one arm, and her tongue was knotted because of the cold wind: "You, you, me, me, I, I can't say it! I can't say it!!"

"Then I'm sorry!" Sasha apologized with her hands on her hips, resentful, wronged and guilty.

"bell--"

At this moment, an ear-piercing loud noise suddenly penetrated the minds of the two, and the sisters covered their ears at the same time, but the sound was like a slender needle piercing deeply into their souls.

"It's all your fault!" Lily still wanted to complain.Now she misses the female slaves in the Phoenix-tailed Butterfly Bath very much.

"Blame me, blame me, blame me! Wait, what is that..."

Sasha stood on the side of the boat, and suddenly found that the entire island below was moving, shaking, and erupting volcanoes.

The densely packed bone eating worm pots rolled and died. However, Sasha saw that no matter how the island shook, several hundreds of meters high peaks were not moved.

As the ship was blown away by the hurricane, Sasha finally could barely see the situation in the distance in the blurred snow fog——

That mountain is an bone-eater pot that should have been extinct long ago, and only fossils exist in the snowy ridge. That island...

Salsa vaguely recognized two slowly moving giant pincers, and the island seemed to be some kind of crab-like creature!

When it was asleep, the surrounding hurricanes seemed to be centered on it, but when it woke up, all nearby activities stopped for a moment.

Includes salsa heart.

"what--"

The little white cat panted violently, converging in the atrium, and the second heart, which was transformed into a strange thing and spirit, reawakened her physiological functions.She hurriedly checked her sister, Lily who crawled out of the pit just coughed up a mouthful of blood and waved her hand.

In the distance, the clouds of the storm layer rolled down towards the island, and the shocking electric rain bathed the eternal ice and snow. The cold wind was sucked in from the giant's mouth, but what gushed out from its back was violent geothermal heat and molten lava.

Sasha felt that her brain was as heavy as ice, and she became more and more in a trance. Seeing this, Lily hurriedly used the power of ice to repel the mysterious influence from outside.

The little white cat calmed down a little, but due to the curse brought by the skill, her thinking was still muddled, so she shook her head vigorously.

Do not……

If it is really a living existence, it cannot be described as a living thing.Before the ancient years, these existences were totems that humans worshiped and gained power. Even if they were inferior to the ancient gods since the recovery period, they at least had the power comparable to the spectacle.

Mere existence affects the weather in a region.

"Is that the hurricane caused by that thing?" Lily asked dumbfounded, "Maybe God is nothing more than that?"

"Stupid, it's at its weakest moment," Sasha knocked the sister's head again, "No matter how powerful it shows, it still can't get rid of the parasites on its body..." The little white cat thought, "That's it. You can regard life as a part of nature, the hurricane already exists, it needs this power to maintain its own lost nutrients, and at the same time use the thunder and lightning from the storm layer to clean up the relatively fragile worm pot!"

Of course, Sasha speculates that the periodic turmoil of hurricanes should be related to Cancer. In addition, when it comes to the power of nature, the fog and natural disasters are the unique power.

According to the astrology detection, the circulation of the misty world has taken away part of the cold wave in Xueling. The little white cat deduces that this will put the Cancer, which was originally in balance, at a disadvantage. It may not be able to survive for hundreds or even thousands of years. Died from parasite exhaustion, but it must have been worse.

The balance of the stabilizer's ship, in the whirl of the wind and current, Sasha could no longer see everything that happened on Cancer Island clearly, but the thunderclouds and piercing loud noises in the sky were still intermittent.

"In that case, why doesn't it just go to the storm layer to take a bath?"

"Boom!"

"You can figure it out, it's not a god, it hasn't really become the master of authority, let it go to the storm layer to take a bath... Do you think it doesn't die fast enough! Moreover, the activity of that kind of creature will be a huge battle. A natural disaster, it seems to freeze itself on that space coordinate through ice, which requires a stable natural force to maintain, if it moves by itself..."

Sasha shook her head.

Cancer can't move.The worm pot is constantly sucking its power. If it gets rid of its current state and does not rely on nature, it can only do its best to move on its own and accelerate the pace of death.

This is its misfortune, but also the surrounding airspace's luck.

"After returning to Xueling, I will ask my teacher about its origin. The hurricane belt existed thousands of years ago. There should be ancient books recording its traces during the weak wind period..."

With such thoughts in mind, Sasha, who had been drifting in the storm for several hours, suddenly noticed that the hurricane had weakened significantly.

The distant sky became clear, the world was flickering in the rolling thunder, and the endless ice and snow were silent in the world——

Snow Ridge!

495. Snow Ridge Secret

Xueling is not a place where there is no human population. The farther you are from the snow peak that seems to freeze everything and tower into the storm layer, the temperature in the environment will become warmer, and the land will turn from frozen soil to snow. Cold-resistant flowers and The trees are proudly silver-backed, bloodthirsty insects and beasts are rushing across the vast expanse, where ancient tribes have been passed down from generation to generation, and archaeological explorers are constantly excavating the frozen soil, dying or getting rich under the curse of the ruins.

Perhaps in earlier years, this place also had a verdant scene. During the excavation of some "archaeologists", many plants that should not grow in snowy places were discovered.

As a platform supported by the pillars of the sky, Xueling's mainstream belief is the owner of the pillars of the sky, the mother god of the earth, except for the ice peak that the aborigines worship.

This can be regarded as the border of the Western Deep Realm, separated from the Central Deep Realm by an insurmountable hurricane belt.
