Chapter 728: Meeting Between the Two Parties

"You mean, this patio also has a main control mechanism like a mechanism beast?" After hearing Xia Fan's plan, Lord Shengtian said doubtfully.

"Theoretically, this is true. Although this place is huge, it has reserved many windows for connecting with people. Perhaps just one or two small instructions can make the entire system work again." Xia Fan smiled, "You guys Isn’t this how you get food and clothes?”

"In that case, I will go down with you." Venerable Shengtian said thoughtfully, "If you want to talk to Tianjing, your power is indispensable."

Xia Fan raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

"Because only we can let the patio distribute food and get clothes from the storage warehouse." Li Mengyun walked to him and also leaned on the fence, looking at the bottomless world below, "This is where the Salvation Cult can The prerequisite for development and growth is also the price that every venerable person is willing to pay.”

"The... transformation of the Black Gate Qi?" He suddenly realized something.

"That's right. Only by accepting this transformation can we drive those institutions to work for us." She said calmly, "But Miss Luo has also seen that the so-called Black Gate Qi is actually a symbiosis with Chaos. Over time The aura in your body will inevitably transform into chaos, right? After all, as a listener, your remaining life will be quite long."

Xia Fan did not refute this.

But what he was thinking about was not how long he could live, but that he felt a little resistant to casually accepting the renovation of the patio.

"What exactly is this process?" he asked curiously.

"A pure white room with many glass jar-shaped utensils. Just follow the instructions before lying in, and then close your eyes." Li Mengyun sighed, "Having said that, I will never feel that way. I want to try it a second time...it seems to have shaped me into a different person, both inside and out. I sometimes wonder if I am not myself when I emerge from the jar."

From the inside out? Xia Fan keenly captured this keyword.

In other words, it will not only change the Qi, but also change the person's appearance?

What did Venerable Shengtian look like before?

"Can you show me this room?"

"You have a good idea, that is the core area of ​​the Salvation Cult." Li Mengyun glanced at him, "Unless you become a member of the Salvation Cult yourself, don't expect His Holiness to take you in."

"Okay, I'm just asking." Xia Fan spread his hands to give in.

She nodded with satisfaction, "Anyway, the Pope and five venerables will be present at tomorrow's meeting. You should be well prepared. If you can get their approval, this cooperation will be 80% certain."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the corridor.

Is this a special ventilation before the meeting? Xia Fan looked at the retreating figure of Lord Shengtian and felt a little confused in his heart. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the other party's attitude was getting better and better, and he was completely different from the first time he met him. What's more, the other party spends most of the time with Li, and he obviously doesn't do anything. This situation is really strange. Could it be that Li is saying good things about himself every day?

Xia Fan rubbed his nose and found no solution for a moment.

The next day comes quickly.

The meeting was arranged on the top floor of the patio - this was originally supposed to be a ground-level shopping mall. The large glass ceiling can provide good lighting, and even if you sit indoors, it will not be dark. However, after years of hard work, the glass is still as strong as ever, but the traces of the goods in the mall have been completely erased. Only a few damaged shelves and dusty stone counters can be vaguely seen from the past.

"I didn't expect that this place would have such a grand lobby." Ning Wanjun said in surprise.

"Just treat this place as a city." Xia Fan whispered.

"They are coming." Luo reminded gently.

"Oh?" Ning Wanjun showed a playful expression, "Except for the Pope, there are also five people in the other party. Does this mean that he and Jin Xia sit together?"

They were informed early in the morning that there were a total of five places to sit with the princess. Jinxia did not hesitate to select the strongest lineup, including the head of the Secretariat, the former Privy Council Hagoromo and the new generation of listeners, and even In order to show that they are inclusive, even Olina, the Dragon of the West Pole, has become one of the representatives of Jinxia.

As for the Salvation Sect, just as Venerable Shengtian said, all the senior officials were present, exactly the same number as Jinxia Fang. On the bright side, this can be understood as a kind of attention. On the other hand, it means treating yourself as an equal force to Qi Guo.

"Your Highness..." Xia Fan coughed twice.

"Don't worry, I won't flip the table over on the spot." Ning Wanjun shook her head in amusement.

After the group sat down, Venerable Shengtian took the lead and briefly introduced the identities of both parties and expressed his welcome to Princess Guangping. The princess also responded with polite words, and also boasted about the strength of Jinxia City. After a round of warm and friendly conversation, the meeting officially began.

Not to mention the weapons trade, Venerable Huntian couldn't put it down for the air rifle sample provided by Jinxia. Regarding the princess's request, he rarely refused immediately as he did in the previous secret talks. Instead, he hesitated a little, and his hesitant thoughts could be seen at a glance.

Xia Fan raised his hand to cover the slightly raised corners of his mouth.

He finally discovered that these people were not diplomatic elites either. They might be very powerful, but they were no different from ordinary people at the negotiating table.

At this time, the Pope spoke, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is willing to lend a helping hand to the Salvation Cult. I am really excited. But you also know that the Tianjing cannot be considered truly safe unless the threats of Seven Stars and Yong Wang are eliminated. This is also Our biggest concern about the opening of Jinxia. Fortunately, I heard that Mr. Xia is a rare listener who discovered the existence of the exposed area when he arrived here. Maybe he can solve this problem for us. "

Coming, Xia Fan raised his eyebrows, this is the core of whether the negotiation can be successful.

The other party wants to get more secrets about the patio from himself. To do this, he must prove that he is indeed the listener in the rumors and can repeatedly obtain the secret information left in the world.

"I will try my best." He said straightforwardly, "If you want to open a passage to the deeper underground, you must first reach about the hundredth floor. I heard that the Salvation Cult has organized downward explorations many times. May I ask about the patio? What’s the actual situation down there?”

"Let me answer this for you." Lord Huntian shrugged his shoulders and made a series of crackling sounds of joint friction. "First of all, protective clothing is necessary, and it is better to carry two to three sets per person, otherwise the heavy smoke and heat waves can It's hard to walk. Secondly, we can't go down from the patio stairs. There are serious collapses in the middle 40th and 80th floors, and all the roads are blocked by gravel, but you don't need to worry about this. , the vanguard has already installed sling mechanisms in these places, which can use rope carriages to lower people down. "

"Can't we fly?" Xia Fan asked.

"You are referring to using the power of demons." The other party glanced at Olina, "Unless the demon can also use protective clothing after transforming, it is no different from committing suicide. When faced with the sudden spurt of heat, the large army still You can take refuge inside the walls of the well, but the guy flying in the middle of the well will only die."

Well, it seems that the method of sending Olina directly down is too risky.

"Go on."

"Of course the most dangerous thing is not suffocation or heat waves, but evil spirits." Venerable Huntian's voice suddenly sank, "I must warn everyone, after reaching the fifty level, evil spirits are no longer a mysterious and unpredictable existence. . To be more precise, that’s their territory.”
