Xia Fan couldn't help but lean back slightly. The middle-aged man in front of him was too close.
"good."
He had no intention of hiding it, or in other words, he never thought of hiding the princess's temporary loss of governance ability from the top management. If he left without saying goodbye, the Secretariat would inevitably be panicked, so it was better to make his thoughts clear from the beginning.
Qian's eyes widened, and he seemed to be about to speak, but Xia Fan interrupted him first, "Stop! I have no intention of leaving Jin Xia alone, and I won't be away for too long. In addition, there is a message device to keep in touch with you. That situation is completely different."
Yuyi put his head back again. He moved a chair and sat down opposite Xia Fan. "So you left to find a way to save the princess?"
"You can say that."
"Where to go?"
"West Pole."
Qian couldn't help but take a breath, "That's the enemy's territory!"
"The West Pole is not a whole, and the Natatin Empire does not cover the sky with one hand." Xia Fan said unconcernedly, "As far as I know, there are some merchants in the six countries who are engaged in land and sea trade between the East and the West. ?”
From the perspective of fighting for the gate of heaven, potential competitors are all enemies, but when it is reduced to the individual level, it is much more complicated. To put it bluntly, demons are also people, and the power struggle between countries and people in the West is It never calmed down.
"Besides, if the other party can send ambassadors to the six countries to spy on intelligence, why can't we go back and spy on their intelligence?"
Qian couldn't refute, so he could only lean back in his chair and pinch his nose, "Did Olina Okan tell you something?"
Xia Fan nodded slightly.
He couldn't help but recall the scene two days ago in his mind.
Even the Privy Council knew very little about magic involving the soul. He integrated all the information and information and determined that the feasible plans could be roughly divided into three categories.
The first is to find the survivors of the Yong Dynasty and obtain the method to crack the Chaos Art through them. These remnants include, but are not limited to, the Black Gate Cult and overseas settlers.
Finding them is undoubtedly a bad idea, and Feinian is the best example. Judging from the interactions between Qian, Yu Linglong, Ning Qianshi and many others, everyone agreed that Feinian had undergone some unknown changes while in Gyeonggi and was no longer the talented Suzhou disciple he once was. Considering that before he returned to Shangyuan, he was forced into a desperate situation by Luo Qingqing and had to use evil spirits to escape, the two are likely to have a lot to do with each other.
The risk of leaving the princess in their hands to treat her injuries was immeasurably high. Xia Fan did not want to choose this path unless it was a last resort.
The second is to seek help from the Seven Stars Privy Council, especially Xu Guo, the leader of the Seven Stars.
Just a little speculation, and I know that the cost of doing this will probably be quite high.
If they ask Jin Xia to fully surrender to the Privy Council, will they agree or not
Agreeing would be equivalent to handing over all the family wealth. Even if Ning Wanjun is cured, she will no longer be able to rule Qiguo.
If you don't agree, you will expose your weakness and give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The third category is to privately look for alchemists with cracking capabilities.
The currently known Qian Shu, Kan Shu and Dui Shu all involve aspects of consciousness and soul, and after everyone has practiced alchemy to a certain level, they will form a unique understanding and gradually develop their own expertise, which may include There are people who have ways to deal with evil spirits.
Ning Qianshi Shiyou had the same idea.
However, the problem is that the high-level alchemists in the Six Kingdoms basically belong to the forces of the Privy Council. Once they are accidentally contacted, it is easy to leak the news to Qixing. Ning Qianshi wanted to save the Tianshu Envoy of Qi State at least. Not to mention blocking it, Qixing also secretly supported it. After all, if something went wrong in the chess game, it would be lost forever. This was undoubtedly a heavy loss for them. . But Ning Wanjun would never receive such treatment. Her princess bloodline was worthless in the eyes of the Privy Council.
While Xia Fan was thinking hard, Olina came to her door and said that someone in the Holy Wing Islands might be able to cure the princess's wounds.
"The Son of the Holy Spirit of the Church of the Sun God possesses part of the power of Hera, and evil spirits have no way to hide in front of it, whether it is in physical form or spiritual corruption." Olina said when mentioning things in her hometown, Long The woman looked a bit like a diplomat in the past, "If you don't have a better way, you might as well try it in the kingdom."
This news made Xia Fan's heart move, "Did you hear it or saw it with your own eyes?"
"I did see, when I was seven years old." Olina said frankly, "A dragonborn who was haunted by a cursed dream demon melted and disintegrated like ice under the light of the Sun God. That is, from that time on, I set out to follow Hera.”
"Seven years old, how old must he be now?" Xia Fan asked subconsciously.
Olina chuckled, "The so-called children of the Holy Spirit are usually no more than eighteen years old. Once they reach adulthood, they will be promoted to church priests, at least starting as priests, and they will be strong contenders for the next pope. At this time the church We will also look for new Sons of the Holy Spirit, and there won’t be the gray-haired situation you think.”
"I see." The obsessive-compulsive disorder in Xia Fan's heart disappeared. "Then what are the requirements for this kind of treatment? The church won't treat anyone who sends it to them, right?"
"That's true." Olina did not deny it, "but there are many ways. For example, the lord's recommendation, one's own title, contribution to the church, and the day when the church wants to show miracles, etc. The simplest one is donation. , the church can never have too much money."
Sounds really good.
The most important thing is that the West Pole is far enough away from the six countries, and the interests of the princess of one country are not so deep for the time being. Even if the attempt fails, the loss will only be money, which will not be a serious problem for Ning Wanjun and Jin Xia.
"I guess you also want to go back to your hometown?" Xia Fan looked at Long Nu thoughtfully.
A complicated expression appeared on Olina's face for a moment, but in the end she nodded, "If you say no, I must be lying to you. If you plan to go to the Holy Wing Islands, please be sure to take me with you."
Xia Fan interrupted her directly, "You don't need my approval if you want to go back. In fact, I have something I want to give you."
"what?"
Xia Fan rummaged through the drawer and pushed a book and a card to the table. That hard card was made from the glue of the insect-catching fruit, and it was also the next-generation identity plate that the Secretariat was planning to implement.
"In view of your contribution in many wars in Jinxia City, the Secretariat has granted you the status of a formal citizen. From the moment you obtain it, you are protected by the laws of Jinxia and have all the rights and interests of Jinxia residents, including travel. The freedom to visit other places.”
Olina was stunned. She picked up the card and found that it not only had her name and address on it, but also a lifelike carved head.
Will Jinxia protect her like she protects the local people
She has never heard such words since her parents died and her family fell into decline.
"Of course, status is status, and you still have to work." Xia Fan said with a smile, "Even if I don't plan to go to the Holy Wing Islands, you can go back to the Islands to visit relatives according to your own ideas, but if you are short of money for tuition, you still have to rely on Work will take care of it. So, you don’t need to apply to me. Instead, I should invite you. Are you willing to accompany me to the Holy Wing Islands?"
Olina solemnly put away the card and bowed her head deeply, "I do."
