Chapter 669 Return

"Soul Gathering Talisman?" Li showed a look of as expected, "I knew it was not that easy to drive this monster."

Yan Qing and Qian looked a little disappointed.

One of the main goals 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 also extremely strict, because the magic related to the soul will increase the possibility of evil spirits appearing. Before this, they had never heard of this kind of mechanical beast controlled by the Soul Gathering Talisman, which means that the Seven Stars Mansion has expanded the scope of use of the Eternal Dynasty's forbidden magic. As for where the next threshold is, no one can tell.

As a former member of the Seven Stars Privy Council, the two naturally have mixed feelings.

If there is only one thing to be thankful for, it is probably that they chose to join Jinxia City instead of fighting to the death with the third princess.

"Is Gongshu studying chaos magic?" The sound transmitter was silent for a while. "To be honest, I don't dislike this practice. As a mechanical engineer, I always want to explore all the unsolved things and use them to improve my own machinery. If they have a channel to access such magic, it is normal for them to conduct research. Anyway, you keep the wreckage and bring it back to Jinxia, ​​I may be able to gain something."

"Uh...research in the Machinery Bureau?"

"Don't worry, I won't let evil spirits appear in the city of Her Royal Highness the Princess." Mo Yun said unhappily, "Exploration is exploration, I am not the kind of fanatic who puts mechanical arts above everyone else, otherwise how could it be possible-"

"What is possible?"

"No, just pretend I didn't say it." Her voice suddenly stuttered, "Anyway, come back quickly."

Then the signal was cut off.

"Did I ask the wrong question?" Xia Fan spread his hands.

"Who knows?" Li shrugged. "Maybe she thinks you don't trust her enough."

"I also think Miss Mo is a very stable woman. Lord Xia was a little rude just now." Senya agreed, "When you were away, she worked hard for Jinxia."

Olina and Hualin also echoed, and even Qianyan nodded slightly.

For a while, the scene became a denunciation meeting of Xia Fan by all the women.

Two weeks later, the Noah returned to the familiar port.

It took almost three months from departure to return. Although it was much later than expected, there were some doubts in Jinxia City, but the overall situation was still stable-the grassroots affairs bureau that went deep into every street and alley showed strong governance capabilities. Whether it was the school and recruitment exams, or business and logistics, they were all running in an orderly manner according to regulations.

The docks in September were still very busy. Compared with when Xia Fan left, the biggest difference was that there were many more large ships.

"Where did all these ships come from?" He couldn't help but ask curiously.

Judging from their appearance, they are not inland vessels from the six continental countries, but three-masted seagoing ships.

"There are many, some from the Saint Wing Islands, and some from the Sand Boat Kingdom and the Langis Ocean Kingdom." The high priest replied, "They all heard about you and knew that the East-West route had been reopened, so they came to see if there is any business to do. In terms of the sense of money, no one is more sensitive than them."

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 is not ordinary fast.

"Let's go to the villa."

...

This is the Eastern Continent.

Princess Muye lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out curiously.

In front of her were scenes that were both strange and familiar - the familiar part came from the description in the travel notes. The people here were dressed differently from the countries in the Tranquil Sea. Wide-sleeved long robes and short coats and cloth pants were the most common clothes here. Women wore wooden hairpins on their heads, while men had their hair tied up high. Almost no one had short hair.

But more of it was the strange part.

The houses in the city were not as messy as described in the travel notes, and the ground was covered with mud. Instead, they were as neat and orderly as Natating. A long bluestone street passed by, with houses of the same shape on both sides, which was pleasing to the eye. The biggest difference was that most of the houses here were a mix of brick and wood, with no more than two floors, which was much lower than the brick houses in the metropolis.

But she liked this city more.

Because the air blowing through was particularly fresh.

There was no sewage or excrement on the side of the street, and the lingering pungent smell was nowhere to be found here, and there was no need to worry about the sudden shadow falling on the head.

Hualin also noticed that there were half-beasts mixed in the crowd.

These populations that suffered from oppression and exclusion in Xilisti seemed to be completely undisturbed in Jinxia City. They shuttled through the streets like ordinary people. If it weren't for their unique appearance, they would have almost completely integrated into the locals.

"This is a good place." She whispered.

"Your Highness?" Three-eyed Felayton, who was sitting opposite the princess, asked.

"I don't see many wandering souls. The atmosphere here flows peacefully, which means people live a stable and comfortable life." Hua Lin replied.

"Isn't it the same in Natatin?"

"It's only like this in the upper city." She shook her head. "If you are close to the factory area, docks or slums, the number of souls gathered will increase. I heard from the police that those places are also areas where small demons often appear. We just came from the dock, and I didn't find a single 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 A new guest.”

"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 has led to 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 around 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 when she wakes up." Or something like 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 can indeed provide some help, that is, 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."

I haven't slept all night again, just one chapter today, so I went to lie down on the bed
