"Soul Gathering Talisman?" Li showed a surprised look, "I knew it wasn't that simple to drive this monster."
Yan Qing and Qian's expressions were a little sad.
One of the main purposes of the Seven Stars is to eliminate evil spirits in the world and restore peace to all 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 machine beast controlled by the Soul Gathering Talisman, which meant that the Seven Star Mansion had expanded the scope of use of the Forbidden Techniques of the Forever Dynasty. As for where the next threshold will be, no one can tell.
As former members of the Seven Star Privy Council, the two naturally had mixed feelings.
The only fortunate thing is that they chose to join Jinxia City instead of fighting to the death with the third princess.
"Does the public loser study chaos spells?" The audio device was silent for a while, "To be honest, I don't dislike this approach. As a mechanic, I always want to find out all the unsolved things and use them to improve myself. If they have access to such magic, it is normal for them to conduct research. In short, if you preserve the remains and bring them back to Jinxia, I might be able to gain something."
"Uh... are you studying it in the Machine Building Bureau?"
"Don't worry, I won't let evil spirits appear in the city of Your Highness the Princess." Mo Yun said angrily, "Detection is detection, and I'm not the kind of fanatic who puts mechanism skills above everyone else, otherwise what? possible-"
"What could it be?"
"No, you think I didn't say that." Her voice suddenly stopped, "Anyway, come back quickly."
Then the signal was cut off.
"Did I ask the wrong thing?" Xia Fan said, spreading his hands.
"Who knows." Li shrugged, "Maybe I think you don't trust her enough."
"I also think that Miss Mo is a very stable woman. Master Xia was a little rude just now." Senia agreed, "While you were away, she was really thinking about Jinxia."
Olina and Hualin also echoed, and even Qian Yan nodded slightly.
For a moment, the scene turned into a meeting of women's denunciation of 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 doubts in Jinxia City, overall the situation was still stable - the grassroots level went deep into the affairs bureau of every street and alley. It has exerted strong governance capabilities. Whether it is schools and recruitment examinations, business and logistics, everything is run in an orderly manner and according to regulations.
The dock was still very busy in September. Compared with when Xia Fan left, the biggest difference was that there were many more large ships.
"Where do these ships come from?" he couldn't help but wonder.
Judging from the shape, they are not the inland river ships of the six mainland countries, but all three-masted sea ships.
"There are many, including those from the Sacred Wing Islands, as well as those from Sandzhou and Ranjis Oceania." The high priest replied, "They all heard your rumors and knew that the sea route between the east and the west has been reopened, so they came here See what business there is. No one has a better sense of money than they do."
Xia Fan blinked. He didn't expect that his trip would have such an effect.
It seems that the flow of internal information in the West Pole is not as fast as usual.
"Let's go to the villa."
…
This is the Eastern Continent.
Princess Muye opened the curtains of the carriage and looked out curiously.
What is in front of me is a scene that is both strange and familiar - the familiar part comes from the descriptions in the travel notes. The people here are dressed differently from those in the countries of the Sea of Tranquility. Wide-sleeved robes and short coats and trousers are the most common clothing here. , women wear wooden hairpins on their heads, while men wear hair tied high, and almost no one has short hair.
But the more unfamiliar part is still there.
The houses in the city are not as messy as described in the travel notes, and the ground is covered with mud. On the contrary, they are as neat and orderly as Nata Ting. A long bluestone street passes by, with houses of the same shape on both sides, which makes it feel pleasing to the eye. The biggest difference is that the houses here are mostly a mixture of brick and wood, with no more than two floors, and are much lower than brick houses in big cities.
But she prefers the city.
Because the air blowing through is exceptionally fresh.
There is no sewage or excrement on the street. The lingering pungent smell has no trace here, and there is no need to worry about the sudden falling shadow above the head.
Hua Lin also noticed that there were half-animal figures among the people passing by.
These groups, which 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 weren't for their unique appearance, they have almost completely integrated into the local people.
"This is a good place," she whispered.
"Your Highness?" Three-Eyed Felayton, who was sitting opposite the princess, inquired.
"I can't see a few wandering souls. The breath here flows peacefully, which means people live a stable and comfortable life." Hua Lin replied.
"Isn't that what Natantine is like?"
"This is only true in the uptown area." She shook her head. "If you are close to a factory area, dock or slum, the number of souls gathered will increase. I heard from people in the police station that those places are also areas where small evil spirits often appear. We just came from the dock, and I didn’t find a condensed soul, which shows that even ordinary people in Jinxia City can live a pretty good life.”
"Maybe you just haven't seen the dark side of this city." Feleyton said noncommittally, "Light and shadow will always accompany each other, just like the sun and the moon. If I were Mr. Xia, I would definitely not want to show the ugly side to New guests."
"That's what you said." Hua Lin lowered the curtains, "The answer may be clearer after meeting their princess."
Driving into the villa, Xia Fan took Princess Muye into Ning Wanjun's palace.
"Originally, after a long journey on the sea, you should be allowed to rest for a few more days, but this matter has long nights and many dreams, so please..."
"It doesn't matter," Hua Lin interrupted him softly, "You rescued me from the cage, which is already a great kindness. And performing this technique requires too much physical strength, so it doesn't matter if you rest later."
"Do you need me to prepare anything?" Xia Fan asked slightly nervously. After months of running just for this moment, and with things like souls involved, it was really hard for him to let go. "Is there any possibility of accidents in this technique? I mean... the princess will lose her memory or lose her memory when she wakes up." It’s a matter of a big change of character.”
Hua Lin laughed, "As long as the spell is not interrupted, the soul must be complete. It has only two possibilities: success and failure, and there will be no deviation in between."
"What does failure mean?" Xia Fan's heart skipped a beat.
"It just failed to transfer successfully. This may be because the soul has been lost, or it may come from the strong resistance of the other party's subconscious." She explained, "But don't worry, this technique can be repeated many times, and it will always succeed. In addition... you We can indeed provide some help, and that is to call someone familiar to His Highness to intervene in this transfer and reduce the resistance of the consciousness. After all, no one's soul wants to be stripped out of the body."
