Chapter 551 Takshis

According to Olina, the strength of dragonborn is directly related to age. Although their overall age is similar to that of elves, both are around a hundred years, their body functions do not decrease but increase after middle age, and they will reach 70 or 80 years old. peak.

The team leader in charge of the Son of the Holy Spirit case this time actually looks to be around twenty years old. There are only two possibilities for this - one is that the other party has good looks and her actual age is much higher than she appears, and the other is that she is strong enough. Young enough to take on this responsibility.

Either way, they are not easy people to deal with.

"Please take a seat." Xia Fan pointed to the chair in the hall, "I am indeed Xia Fan. What do you two want from me?"

"I didn't expect you to be about the same age as me. Before coming here, I thought you were an experienced middle-aged uncle." Taxis pursed her lips slightly and let out a laugh like a silver bell.

Experienced...middle-aged uncle, why does this description sound a bit weird?

"Lord Yongyi." The guardian knight coughed twice, as if to remind her of her choice of words.

"Don't mind, it's just a chatting habit in the Kingdom of the Islands." Taxis sat down and looked around the room, "Where are your partners and companions? I heard from Lasein that they rarely leave your side. around."

Xia Fan's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, the news about him came from the coastal defense officer.

Although the ambassador's visit was not a secret, he did not expect that Lassein would reveal his own affairs to the church's tribunal.

Originally, after finding out the whereabouts of the Son of the Holy Spirit, all the credit went to the defense officer. But now, the other party has given all the initiative to the church.

"They are still resting. There is a time difference between the East and the West, and it takes time to adapt."

"Jet lag?" Taxis asked curiously, "What is that?"

"Uh..." Xia Fan wanted to skip this topic, but after seeing the burning eyes of the other party seeking knowledge, he took out a pen and paper and explained the general reason, "Of course, this is just the simplest model. The actual situation It will be more complicated.”

After hearing this, the other party showed a surprised look, "Did the sun shine in every corner of the world in this way? This is the first time I heard about it. The Church of Hera actually has no relevant records, but only said that the sun god always follows a fixed path. The course of action remains unchanged.”

"Sir, this is just an Eastern view..."

"It doesn't matter whose opinion it is, the key is whether it's right or not." Taxis stared at the simple picture for a long time, "I once remembered that the fleet heading to the border waters to explore had encountered the Evernight phenomenon. If you follow the principles shown in the painting, you can get an almost perfect answer.”

She raised her head and looked at Xia Fan, "Can you sell me this picture? It may inspire the church to further explore the gods."

It seems that the matter of Li and others just got over in a blur?

"It's just a random drawing, I'll give it to you." Xia Fan handed the picture into her hands.

Taxis folded the paper carefully and put it into her waist bag, "Thanks for your advice, I know that visiting a Far East envoy will not lead to nothing."

"Uh, so your original purpose was..."

"I heard that you are very interested in finding the Son of the Holy Spirit." The red-haired woman raised her head, her face returning to its previous enthusiasm. "This matter had nothing to do with you, but you used Lasein to take the initiative to intervene. Yu Qing Yu Li, I should come and confirm so as to eliminate hidden dangers.”

"Could it be that the church suspects that I did it?" Xia Fan pretended to be relaxed and shrugged, "The day the Son of the Holy Spirit was attacked, I was still floating on the sea."

"This does not rule out your suspicion." Des Moines snorted, "You have a dragonborn to help you. They can send you across the sea to Azure Castle, and then turn back after the incident is completed, creating the illusion of arriving late."

"Then I should stay away from this case instead of approaching it deliberately. You should also know that the clues Rathain mentioned..."

"You provided it." Des Moines interrupted, "But according to the analysis of many cases, a considerable number of criminals will return to the scene after the crime. The more confident prisoners are in themselves, the deeper they will often get involved. ”

Okay, I can't explain it clearly.

Xia Fan simply shut his mouth.

"Please forgive his bluntness," Taxis smiled. "This matter has a great impact on the prestige of the church, so we cannot let go of any possibility. But after meeting with Mr. Ambassador, I think this This suspicion can be eliminated, you are not the real culprit in this case."

"Why?"

"I can't tell you, just take it as my feeling." She tilted her head slightly, "Your concern for the Son of the Holy Spirit is not due to murder, but has another purpose."

"I want to go to Shira." Xia Fan said noncommittally, "But because of this matter, the count has closed the channel."

"But he didn't seal the city, so you can go there by carriage." Taxis directly exposed this explanation, "Not all what you said is false, but you are just hiding something. Let me guess... you want to go to Shila, Also to see the Son of the Holy Spirit.”

Xia Fan's breathing paused slightly.

"Unfortunately, the convoy of the Son of the Holy Spirit was attacked, causing you to lose your goal of going to Shira." Taxis continued, "So you took advantage of Lasein's psychology and made suggestions to help him solve the case. It's a pity. This person is not a suitable partner to work with, and his ability to withstand external pressure is quite low. I only asked him a few words, and he repeated what you said in full. "

"Although those guys are young and young, their eyes seem to be able to see into people's hearts - Miss Okan should understand that the price of deceiving the church is usually not low."

Xia Fan couldn't help but hear Lasein's words echoing in his ears.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Taxis leaned forward slightly, "Mr. Xia Fan, I appreciate your analysis and judgment skills. Now that your suspicion has been eliminated, I hope you can cooperate with the trial team to deal with the criminals who attacked the convoy."

Xia Fan was dumbfounded, is this part of getting rid of the middleman and earning the price difference?

"What's in it for me?"

"You want to see the Son of the Holy Spirit, but besides the church, who else can provide a better opportunity?" Taxis smiled slightly, "Besides, Hera will not treat anyone with merit. If you agree to help the church, I’m also happy to hide some information for you.”

Xia Fan frowned, "What kind of information?"

"The Holy Palace was attacked last night. It is rumored that the murderers were three people. They were a legendary mage, a dragonborn, and a half-beast." Taxis spread her hands, "Such a combination is not common in Azure Castle. Duo Jian, if I hadn’t happened to pay attention to you, it would be difficult to associate the two for a while.”

"I'm sorry, I don't know about what you're talking about -"

"Whether you know or not is not the point. What matters is what the Holy Palace thinks." Taksis shook her head, "Of course, you don't need to make a decision now. For collaborators, force is never the best choice. This is just a bargaining chip for cooperation. That’s all.”

She stood up and handed a ruby-encrusted emblem to Xia Fan.

"Take it and you can contact me as soon as possible. Mr. Ambassador, I look forward to your answer."
