The sword boat was covered with a light cyan protective cover, and it was speeding northward in the cold wind and snow.
Xiao Ran was sitting in front of the stone table, drinking hot keel soup while making designs.
For example, designing a semi-automatic teaching pill furnace suitable for Spring Frog and Qiu Chan can increase the difficulty of hell and punishment mode.
For example, designing a female doll with more complete functions can increase the function of playing Dou Nether.
For example, a floating water massage bed with massage function and an automatic filial piety harvester are designed.
For example, automatic slow rocking of the crib or something, you have to prepare in advance...
cough cough.
Xiao Ran drank the bone soup and drew pictures, and soon regretted not letting the two armored soldiers escort them to the capital.
Because of the tracker and inspection-free pass equipment, his identity as a state guest was directly exposed.
Along the way, there were successive battle armors flying around and behind the sword ship, showing off the status of state guests.
Is this the treatment of state guests?
Xiao Ran wanted to enter the city in a low-key way, and asked Xiao Yan to take him to customize a few wind ** Yan puppets.
Isn't that revealing your identity?
After a few hours.
Formed a fixed welcome team with one battle armor in the front and back of the sword ship, five battle armors on the left and right, a total of twelve battle armors, and escorted Xiao Ran to the capital all the way—
Shenwu City.
Compared with the small towns Xiao Ran had seen before, Shenwu City, the capital of the country, was magnificent and lively.
Dense steel forests rose from the ground, and all kinds of high-rise buildings were lined up and connected to each other, as if it was a three-dimensional city.
Shenwu City is so huge that you can't see the sides at a glance, and the height of the building also exceeds the clouds.
The flying spirit tools of different shapes, flashing with the lights of various spirit patterns, shuttled in an orderly manner in the dense steel forest.
Only then did Xiao Ran understand that what he saw before was not the town, but the countryside.
Xiao Ran even had a sense of shock coming to the future world, and this shock was much stronger than the higher and larger Chaos City.
Only when he saw Shenwu City with his own eyes did Xiao Ran feel that Shenwu City might really have the strength to fight against the Dao League.
Twelve black armors continued to escort Xiao Ran into the city.
Take a special passage in the city, bypass the downtown, fly two hundred miles north, and come to the square in the center of the city.
The square is huge and there are many birds and tourists.
In the middle is an island area surrounded by a circular river.
There is an independent pavilion area in the center of the island.
Made of mahogany and black iron, it has a classical shape, but it is straight into the sky, engraved with the spirit pattern of the sky, revealing a solemn and vast sense of the future.
The invitation letter shows that this is the city government building of Shenwu City.
The government of Shenwu Kingdom is unknown underground, so the buildings in front of Xiao Ran are the highest authority on the ground of Shenwu Kingdom.
A row of solemn welcome teams have been waiting on the Ring River Bridge for a long time.
The young man in the black suit at the head was the young master Yan who spent the longest time with Xiao Ran at the Tianjiao Conference, Ikari Mako.
"Senior Xiao, stay safe."
I finally gnawed and called me a senior...
Xiao Ran had only been in the country for half a day, and he had already organized such a large welcome team.
"Hello."
Ikari Mako didn't have the arrogance and lust when she was in the dark forest. She looked straight and nervous.
"Please follow me into the City Lord's Mansion State Guest House."
"It's work."
Entering the City Lord's Mansion, the interior layout is simple, empty and solemn.
In the center there is a walking ring ladder and a spiritual power-driven lift.
State guests, naturally take the elevator.
The elevator is not big, only Xiao Yan is accompanied.
"I didn't expect you to come so soon, you came alone."
Xiao Ran is still the old saying.
"Is Shenwu Kingdom dangerous?"
Ikari Mako smiled proudly and maliciously.
"Like I do, it's not dangerous."
Come to the meeting room on the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion.
The vast and dark starry sky dome makes people feel as if they are in the sea of stars, stepping on the deck of the spacecraft.
There were three groups of people who met Xiao Ran.
In the middle is an old man.
On the left is a group of people in mourning clothes.
On the right is a girl in a white dress.
Ikari Mako led Xiao Ran to the middle of the old man and respectfully introduced:
"This is the city lord of our Shenwu City, a member of the five elders of Shenwu Kingdom, and the city lord of Kuangxing Yuankuang."
"This is Daomen Tianjiao, Xiao Ran."
The old man took the initiative to step forward and gave Xiao Ran a half-kow, probably a simplified version of Shenwu Kingdom.
"Heroes have been young since ancient times. I never imagined that Xiao Tianjiao would be so young and talented."
Xiao Ran looked up.
This is an old man who is very old, he is not tall, his waist is very straight, and he has a style of his own.
Wearing an ancient-style robe with a tailored fit and a straight fabric, gray, slightly simple.
A pair of striking ears are very eye-catching.
Xiao Ran did not expect that the first time he entered the city, he was met by one of the five most powerful people in this country with a population of five billion.
Has the thirst for talents in the Dharma-ending era reached this point?
What was even more unexpected was that this powerful city lord was actually a mortal.
This is unimaginable in any town outside Shenwu Kingdom.
Xiao Ran Zuo bowed back and said:
"City Lord Kuang has won the prize."
Ikari Mako introduced Xiao Ran to a group of civilians on the left in mourning clothes and with mourning faces.
"This is Yanmo's family, his grandfather, parents and sisters and brothers-in-law."
Xiao Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly bowed:
"My condolences and change. When this happens, Xiao should return Yanjia, but he is currently conducting an in-depth investigation, hoping to find loopholes and upgrade Yanjia to prevent such tragic incidents from happening."
Yanmo's father said:
"There is no need to return it. Xiao Tianjiao also risked his life to get back the armor. He is the only one who beat the enemy. This armor is kept by Xiao Tianjiao. I believe Xiaofeng can rest in peace in the spirit of heaven."
Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Ikari Mako led Xiao Ran to the right again, with eagerness and excitement in his eyes.
"This is the genius Yanshi from the younger generation of Shenwu Kingdom, Gao Yao, who is currently the person with the highest synchronization rate among Shenwu Kingdom people."
Xiao Ran glanced at it, this was a young girl in a white princess dress.
She is tall and delicate, with light makeup like a lady, but her face has the subtle temperament of arrogant and tyrannical nostrils.
Although she has no nostrils to see people, and her pretty nose is particularly beautiful.
Judging from the age of the bones, it is about forty years old. It is obviously the age of a mature woman, but she is a slim girl who has not yet fully developed. She looks the same as fourteen or fifteen years old, similar to the tall version of the first face.
It's a little less fairy-like than Chu Yan, and a little more arrogant and girly.
Cultivation is to build a foundation.
The figure seems to have experienced the growth of the seedlings of the human-machine connection, resulting in a slightly delayed development, and the chest is smaller than the initial appearance.
Gao Yao…
Is it a rumor in the Black Ring group?
Even Nanmenzi has changed his name to Junzi, so it's not good to change the homophone directly.
If you look closely, she doesn't have Toshiko's terrifying aura that seems to destroy the world.
She just felt that this princess dress didn't fit her body, causing her to twist a little, sometimes frowning, sometimes touching her legs.
"Hello."
While Xiao Ran peeked at the girl, the girl was looking at Xiao Ran without hesitation.
"I'm not very good, but you are quite handsome, much better than other male Yanshi."
"… "
Xiao Ran was ashamed, this tone of voice was really similar to the rumors in the black ring group.
There was a burst of laughter in the reception hall, and no one cared about the girl's inappropriate words.
Clearly she is special!
…
After the hasty and brief welcome ceremony, a simple and high-end state banquet began in the guest house.
After the state banquet, in the garden on the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord Kuang Xingyuan and Xiao Ran sat at the round table to drink afternoon tea.
Although it was already evening.
There are only two people in the entire top-floor garden.
The tea is also an ordinary tea, with a fragrant taste and a slight bitterness.
The lid of the cup swayed with the tea mist, and the distant vision was far away, staring at the sunset like a mountain of fire in the distance.
"You took our country's important armor privately. We didn't pursue it, and we received you as a state guest. You should understand our intentions."
Xiao Ran nodded.
"Um."
A long way to go:
"When the Dharma-Ending Era has come to this point, you should understand that the road of cultivation is the road to death, it's just a matter of the length of time."
With the system beside him, Xiao Ran did not agree with this sentence.
"However, cultivation can lead to longevity, more experience in dealing with the Netherworld, and stronger strength. It may be impossible to find a way out before the spiritual energy is exhausted."
Kuang Xingyuan smiled slightly, picked up the cup to blow the mist, and took a sip of tea, looking very confident.
"Strength can be replaced by armor, and we will develop armor that is more suitable for civilians to drive, which is equivalent to mass-producing comprehension; and life, we have a plan of paradise tree, and people's souls will live in the paradise tree during their lifetime. , the soul in the tree of heaven can remotely control the armor, which is also a kind of life extension, if the technology is mature, it may not be immortal."
good guy!
This is to build a soul server, the rhythm of the national machinery soaring?
Xiao Ran admired Shenwu Kingdom's foresight.
"Is it really okay to tell me this kind of secret plan to an outsider?"
Kuang Xingyuan smiled and shook his head.
"Since you successfully piloted the first aircraft, you are no longer an outsider."
"yes?"
Xiao Ran smiled awkwardly, feeling a little hairy in his heart.
"I heard that your cultivation base is not high, and you only have Qi Refinement Realm. Even if your combat power is amazing, you will eventually turn into loess like me in a few hundred years. According to the current progress, our Paradise Tree plan will only take a few decades at most. Time will be fully ripe."
Can I buy a life pack?
For decades, at the speed of my traversers, the world has long been saved!
However, the Paradise Tree project is still very longing. If the era of the end of the law is irreversible, perhaps this is the only hope for mankind.
If the concentration of aura is further reduced, the cultivator will not be able to maintain his due lifespan at all. Even if he can live forever, Shizun, Shibo and Chuyan will not be able to withstand the erosion of time.
However, the so-called Paradise Tree project will be fully mature in a few decades. To Xiao Ran, it is as unconvincing as electric vehicles will completely replace gasoline vehicles within five years.
"What does Shenwu Kingdom want me to do?"
Xiao Ran asked directly.
Kuangxingyuan calmly said:
"I don't want you to give up your current identity, nor do I want you to betray Dao League or Zongzhishan, we just want to be your partner."
"How exactly?"
"You will get the honorary citizenship of Shenwu Kingdom, and regularly guide our Yanshi to improve the synchronization rate of people. If you care about reputation, you can do this in secret, and the treatment is not a problem."
Treatment is not a problem... If you say this, I don't care about reputation!
Before coming, they all said that Shenwu Kingdom was dangerous, but Xiao Ran really didn't expect City Lord Kuang to speak so easily.
"Junior came this time, in fact, I want to use your country's spirit tool factory to upgrade my armor."
Kuangxing looked embarrassed from afar.
"Increasing the level needs to be redesigned. Not only is the material difficult to meet the requirements of a higher level, but also the consumption of Yanshi's physical and soul power will increase by a hundred times."
Xiao Ran immediately took out a blueprint.
"There is no need to improve the grade, the junior just wants to customize one, this is my design."
Kuang Xingyuan glanced at the design drawing, frowned slightly, and suddenly became cautious.
After all, in order to infiltrate the Shenwu Kingdom and find out the underground fortifications of the Shenwu Kingdom, the Dao League has to guard against it.
"The design drawing is very beautiful, but if you want to realize the function of your design, the material problem is not big, but the spirit pattern is very difficult."
"I have redesigned all the spirit patterns."
Kuang Xingyuan was slightly startled, took out a lens like a magnifying glass, and looked at the spirit pattern drawing in detail.
He is also a spiritual pattern master. Although he is not the top group of people, he can see the realm of these spiritual patterns at a glance.
"You wrote all of this yourself?"
Xiao Ran nodded humbly.
"I liked to fiddle with these things when I was a child, until I saw Yanjia suddenly open up."
Kuang Xingyuan was surprised and admired.
Unexpectedly, Shenwu Kingdom, with a population of 5 billion, actually lost to a cultivator in the spirit pattern realm.
He took a sip of tea and let out a sigh of relief.
"We can make a brand new armor for you according to your drawings."
Xiao Ran hurriedly asked:
"This core is fused with my natal sword, which is more convenient for me to control. Can't it be installed?"
Kuang Xingyuan shook his head firmly, his gray temples were picked up by the evening wind, showing a touch of vicissitudes.
"Unfortunately, the underground fortifications of Shenwu Kingdom are the foundation of the country. Unless you donate your spiritual blood, sign a contract, and fully join the Shenwu Kingdom, you cannot allow personal belongings to flow into the underground fortifications."
"Oh… "
Xiao Ran took a sip of tea in disappointment. The tea was hot and his heart was cold.
Long traveled and said:
"However, since you've come from afar, you can find some private mechanic workshops to assemble it. We can supply the materials and help you out with the money."
Xiao Ran thought to himself, that was the only way.
The most difficult thing to do is the material, but it is actually the cost. Since the Shenwu Kingdom has helped out, it is not much different from the assembly in the official spirit tool factory.
"I'm so sorry."
Kuang Xingyuan smiled and said:
"Because I have seen your spirit pattern design, I have never forgotten this aspect, and maybe I will learn from it in the future."
Xiao Ran didn't mind either.
"It doesn't matter, everyone is fighting for the survival of human beings, and the paths they take are different. There is no need to be enemies of each other. Strengthening exchanges and cooperation is the right way."
Kuang Xingyuan smiled.
"If the people of the Dao League have the talent, open-mindedness and vision of Xiao Tianjiao, why would there be no way out in the end of the law."
"The mine owner has won the prize."
"However, not everyone in Shenwu Kingdom is so easy to talk to me. There are still some hardliners in the military. You'd better pay attention."
"clear."
"Even if you choose a large machine repair factory and start to assemble the armor, it will take a few days. You can live in Gao Yao's house these few days. She is the next generation of Valkyrie in Shenwu Kingdom and will protect your personal safety."
"it is good."
Xiao Ran naturally understood this routine.
Just like at the Tianjiao Conference, the Dao League sent Hua Lian, the best female cultivator of the younger generation, to join him, and Shenwu Kingdom also sent the best female Yanshi to join him.
In the final analysis, it is all to test and recruit him as an excellent talent.
In the era of the end of the law, talents are too important.
The Kingdom of Shenwu has to transform even the criminals into talents.
Speaking of which, Xiao Ran was also a murderer, and the one who killed was a disciple of an aristocratic family.
Because everyone has a common enemy, an enemy that is rarely seen in the teleportation array.
If you walk straight from Zongzhi Mountain to Shenwu Kingdom, you can see the ruins and dead bones all the way.
Tens of thousands of ghosts are floating in the air, eating away the last spiritual power on the True Spirit Continent...
…
The brief meeting was over, and night had fallen.
Ikari Mako led Xiao Ran out of the City Lord's Mansion.
The neon lights all over the city, the flickering spirit patterns, the flying lights, the lively atmosphere... It is no less than any big city in Xiao Ran's previous life, and it has the feeling of a city that never sleeps in 2077.
Walking on the bridge across the river, seeing Xiao Ran's face that he had never seen before, Ikari Mako was particularly proud.
"How about it, I personally guarantee your strength. Lord City Lord is very good at talking. Others don't have such treatment."
"good."
"Have you negotiated with the city master?"
"That's it."
Xiao Ran responded without a tower.
Ikari Mako said excitedly:
"You have to stay in the city for a few days, let's go and live in my house. I still lack a lot of knowledge. Do I want to learn from you?"
Xiao Ran said:
"Lord City Lord seems to have asked me to live at the girl's house just now."
Ikari Mako was stunned for a moment, then stopped abruptly.
"You mean... Gao Yao?"
Xiao Ran scratched his head.
"Yes, it seems to be called this name."
"… "
Ikari Mako's face sank, and the slightly handsome face of Shota was illuminated by the green neon light.
"Impossible, it doesn't make sense, Gao Yao is still underage, that's my goddess, I can't..."
Xiao Ran smiled and said:
"The city owner said to let her protect my safety. If you can protect my safety, I don't mind living in your house."
Ikari Mako was sobbing and utterly despairing. After despair, she broke the jar again and said shamelessly:
"I can't protect you, I want to be protected with you..."
At this moment, a dazzling white light came down from the sky, and the two of them could not open their eyes.
Then came the roar of an empty engine.
Xiao Ran raised his hand to block the light, and vaguely saw a flying hearse like a motorboat, one dived and landed on the bridge, in front of Xiao Ran and Ikari Mako.
A punk girl in a black tights straddled the motorboat, took off her helmet, revealing her delicate facial features and a thick smoky face, chewing something in her mouth, and almost did not pierce her tongue.
"Are you Xiao Ran?"
Xiao Ran looked at it for a long time before recognizing the woman's identity from the cute little steamed bun and the eye-catching long legs.
"Gao Yao?"
Slap, the girl blew out a durian fruit bubble.
"It's not false that my name is called."
good guy!
When Xiao Ran was in the State Guest Hall, she saw that she was very uncomfortable wearing a princess dress, but she never imagined that this girl was actually a locomotive girl!
Black snakeskin-like tights tightly wrapped around her long, slender legs.
The thighs are plump, the calf is slender, and the calf is full, which is the best.
The problem is that the girl changed her clothes, but Xiao Ran didn't. Why did you ask him: Are you Xiao Ran?
"Didn't we just meet?"
The motorcycle girl shrugged slightly and said indifferently:
"Oh, I don't care too much, get in the car."
I don't care too much, is it fake to call me handsome?
Xiao Ran suddenly felt no love.
"What are you doing, get in the car."
The girl urged.
Helpless, Xiao Ran stepped onto the flying locomotive against the cold wind and sat tightly on the narrow back of the car behind the girl.
Ikari Masako poked around for a long time, before being cheeky, she said nervously:
"Can you take me with you, senior? I'm in charge of Xiao Tianjiao's food and daily life."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a sudden roar in his ears, and a jet of black exhaust was sprayed on his ignorant face.
Ikari Mako wiped the black ashes from her face, looked at the locomotive that had long disappeared, and thought—
Sure enough, the seniors still have some knowledge points that they didn't teach me!
