Chapter 527 "The Creator of the World"
"You don't quite understand the concept of thunder and lightning in the East..."
Olina's words came to mind again.
Rathine understood now.
This is not thunder and lightning at all!
Moreover, he did not hear any spells during the whole process, nor did he see the other party take out any casting materials. Just raising and sending his palm turned the gold pen into a deadly weapon.
If this blow fell on him...
Lasse felt a little chill in his back.
"Can this be proved?" Xia Fan's voice brought him back to his senses.
"Barely... not bad." The defense officer tried his best to pretend to be relaxed and replied, "Are all Eastern spells like yours?"
"This is considered the Shock Technique - the most basic application of the Thunder and Lightning Technique. On top of this, there are of course more complex and incredible alchemy techniques." Xia Fan nodded. For example, Luo Qingqing's Dragon Scales and Tianshu Shi's Tianxia chess game were, in principle, beyond the scope of the theories he knew.
The most basic application?
Is this really the Eastern alchemy he knows?
Why did the merchants who had been there never mention this, but instead compared their magic system to witchcraft?
Rasein suddenly felt angry in his heart.
Damn businessman, not a single word from his mouth can be believed. Next time someone says that, he will definitely show off to the other person!
"Okay, since you insist on doing this, I won't stop you any more." Lassein coughed twice, "But remember, if you find any clues, you must tell me."
He emphasized the word "I".
Xia Fan suddenly realized that even if they were members of the Split Ya family, they had to understand this achievement clearly.
"That's natural. Let's talk about the case itself."
An hour later, Xia Fan and Olina said goodbye and left.
When the door closed, Lassein let out a sigh of relief. He turned back to the wall and carefully looked at the masonry opening. The stone wall, which was nearly a hand thick, was completely penetrated, and the hole was just big enough to fit a finger.
Recently, armies all over the country have been replacing new muskets. Azure Castle has also ordered hundreds of them, and he even tested the samples himself. But if the target is replaced by a stone wall like this, the bullet will only make a hole in it at most.
Of course, the power of firearms is not as powerful as magic, but putting the two together will undoubtedly give people the most intuitive feeling.
The power of this blow is at least a hundred times that of a musket!
Xia Fan...
Lassein silently recited the name of this Easterner.
Maybe the case that they thought was hopeless would really change after this person intervened.
He sat back at the desk, intending to write it down, but his hand suddenly froze after touching it twice.
The thing that pierced the wall seemed to be his gold pen!
"Roar------"
In an instant, the guard outside the door seemed to hear a suppressed dragon roar.
…
Azure Castle, on the outskirts of the West City Gate.
It's not far from the Ambergris River, so you can see a series of dark factory buildings in the distance - the production scale of the Holy Wing Islands is a little larger than Xia Fan expected. Although these workshops are simple, they are already a symbol of intensive labor. .
Corresponding to this, there were pieces of deserted farmland under his feet. It can be seen from the weed-covered field edges that Azure Castle once had good agriculture, but it no longer exists.
"Is this where the crime happened?" Li looked around, "Why did the Son of the Holy Spirit come to a place like this?"
Just as the fox demon said, except for a country road and a canal used to irrigate farmland, this place is not much different from the remote countryside and mountains. A few dozen steps away to the north is a dense forest, which is very suitable for hiding. For the convoy passing here, it is naturally at a disadvantage.
And Azure Castle has official rules.
Not only are they connected to surrounding castles, but they are also on hardened roads, making them more passable than country roads.
"Their cruise route was around the Holy Wing Islands, but they had no intention of stopping at Azure Castle." Olina explained, "According to the harbor defense officer, the convoy was coming from Black Peak City in the northeast. , I plan to board the boat at the ferry in front, and then go all the way back to the royal capital. Although the country roads are bumpy, there is no need to enter the city, and the journey will take about a day. "
After receiving the case information from La Seine, Xia Fan immediately returned to his hotel and informed Li and Qianyan of his plans.
Needless to say, Li Zi not only agreed with Xia Fan's decision, she was also very interested in this case. Although Qian Yan lacked interest, the whereabouts of the Holy Son were closely related to Ning Wanjun's life, so a Jinxia detective team was quickly formed.
The problem is that Rassen did tell the details of the case, but their investigation really stopped at time and place, and there was very little effective information.
The only thing that is clear is that the crime happened here and that there were no survivors at the scene.
"What is the status of the Holy Son in the church?" Li asked the dragon girl in confusion, "The convoy was attacked, and the alarm was not even sent out. I'm afraid the defense strength of the companions is not very good, right?"
Olina sighed, "It doesn't matter if you say it's high or not. The son of the Holy Spirit is a seedling. If he can live to twenty years old without making any mistakes, he can basically become the backbone of the church. But if he dies midway, right? It is not a serious loss for the church. Anyway, there will be no shortage of seedlings in the whole territory. Many times, the church has three pairs of sons of the Holy Spirit at the same time."
"But the church's reaction doesn't seem to be like this..." Xia Fan pondered, "From what the Earl said, the capital is quite angry."
"The two are not contradictory. In name, the Son of God is the representative of the church to spread the gospel and is Hera's walking on the ground. Dare to take action against them, it is equivalent to slapping the church in the face. This is definitely a serious blow to Hera's prestige." Olina said bluntly, "The church can ignore it, but it doesn't mean that anyone can kick it. Those who offend Hera must be severely punished."
"Good guy, if they catch the murderer and punish him severely, it can further strengthen the church's image that cannot be provoked. impression, as for the safety of the Son of God, it doesn't matter. "
"Although it's not nice to hear, you're not wrong."
"Wait... I remember you were very fanatical about Hera before, and said that the prestige of God would sooner or later come to the East."
Olina's face was hot, "I, my loyalty to the sun god Hera has never changed! It's just that gods are gods, and the church is the church. The two cannot be treated equally. Is there any problem with this?"
"No, there is no." Xia Fan suddenly returned to a serious expression, "This is dialectical thinking, you have learned it well."
"You-" Olina glared at Xia Fan fiercely, too lazy to pay attention to him.
But there were undercurrents in her heart.
Yes, it seems that I haven't prayed to Hera for a long time.
When did this change start?
Hera did not redeem her when she was imprisoned, and it was the man in front of her who took her out of prison. The people living in Jinxia City didn't know what Hera was at all, but their lives were no worse than those in the archipelago. Even comparing the workers in the Machinery Bureau to this place, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference between them.
When Yu Shuangxue was giving a lecture to Xintao, she also listened to it.
At that time, she didn't feel anything strange, but when Xia Fan mentioned it, a sentence suddenly emerged in her mind.
"It is neither the emperor nor the gods who created everything in the world."
"- Ordinary people are the creators of the world."
