Chapter 204 Imperial Palace, Your Goddess Is Back! (6000)

Gradually two hours passed quickly, and everyone returned to the sofa in the office from the restaurant, but the communication still did not stop.

From the development of dream magic, they discussed the future development of the magic corridor. Xia Xuan found out that this scene, the blind date concubine selection meeting was not as boring as imagined, on the contrary it was very interesting.

As a developer of dream magic, Stephanie has very unique insights into the research of dream souls. It is even proposed to suggest to the human soul through dreams, so that his consciousness can run several times faster than usual, so as to achieve an effect similar to the acceleration of time. For example, if the consciousness of the soul is accelerated by 5 times, people feel that they have stayed for 5 days in the dream, but in fact they only stayed for one day.

In fact, this kind of effect can also be used by human beings through some hallucinogenic drugs to make people's consciousness feel that the flow of time seems to slow down. Some scientists have also put forward such a theory, but the development of this special hallucinogenic drug has still not achieved the theoretical effect.

Drug guidance can only make people feel that the flow of time has slowed down, and can even make a person feel like an hour has passed in a minute. However, drug guidance has a fatal shortcoming, that is, it can only feel, and the consciousness is divergent and unable to concentrate.

If the consciousness cannot be concentrated, it is impossible to think about problems. The research and development of this drug originally hopes to speed up people's thinking and shorten the learning time. And this kind of drug will make people unable to think, which is completely opposite to the purpose of developing it, so it has no value.

And the succubus queen Stephanie, who is famous for her illusions, also read various psychological knowledge and hallucinogenic drugs after joining Daxia. From this, she found that human beings' understanding of the spiritual field is still at a very shallow level, and they cannot effectively guide the other party's mind, but she has to admit that she is indeed powerful in medicine.

And Stephanie's dream consciousness acceleration theory is also inspired by the human drug that can make people feel that the flow of time slows down. Stephanie discovered that the soul is stored in the brain, and the brain can affect the soul to a certain extent.

Then, based on the process of the drug that can make people feel that time slows down on the brain, is it feasible to use the power of dreams to help people focus and let them realize accelerated learning?

The elf queen Elena became an elf, loves the tradition of nature, and is very interested in the soul tree. Of course, the nature that the elves love here, since they came into contact with scientific knowledge, their nature is not limited to ecosystems such as forests, but the entire nature.

Since the elves know that the development of civilization will inevitably cause certain damage to nature, this is inevitable. The elves are within the system of Great Xia, and it is impossible for them to defy the whole society for the sake of nature.

So the elves set their sights on balance, which is to make the recovery speed of nature and the consumption speed of civilization reach a balance. And if you want to strengthen the recovery speed of nature, then high-dimensional energy is essential. Because high-dimensional energy can make each species have stronger vitality, the natural recovery ability composed of countless species will also be enhanced accordingly.

The higher the concentration of high-dimensional energy in the world, the stronger the recovery ability of nature. In fact, the total amount of high-dimensional energy will not disappear. If living things absorb high-dimensional energy, the high-dimensional energy possessed by the world will indeed decrease. However, when a creature dies or casts a spell, the corresponding high-dimensional energy will be returned to the world.

That's why the high-dimensional energy in the world of Goblin Slayer is reduced so much? Gods could be born in ancient times, but now it is extremely difficult to give birth to a level 5 being. This is mainly because the gods absorb more high-dimensional energy than they need into their bodies, and do not release it, which leads to a decline in the concentration of high-dimensional energy in the world.

In this regard, Elena proposed the theory of a unified high-dimensional energy storage network, based on the biological neural network of the soul tree, to store and manage the high-dimensional energy of the entire world.

For this theory, Xia Xuan showed great importance. Because of this theory, if it is really feasible and implemented successfully, then Da Xia's ability to manage individual powerhouses will rise several notches.

Estes also proposed the theory of energy crystals based on her ice knight's ability to store energy.

Chitong said that the palace cuisine is delicious, and she wants to eat it again in the future.

After 6 hours, the discussion finally ended. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to sort out the experience gained from this discussion.

"Huh~" Xia Xuan let out a sigh of relief. He found that high-level powerhouses have some unique insights into their own fields, which are difficult for research institutes to come up with.

He began to consider whether to set up a special discussion meeting to invite all high-level powerhouses to discuss regularly and talk about his understanding of his own field.

At this time, the sound of the system suddenly sounded.

【Host, they were summoned to the palace to choose a concubine. 】

After being reminded by the system, Xia Xuan suddenly turned around, and only then remembered the real purpose of calling them here today.

The discussion was so engrossing that I almost forgot about it.

"Cough, cough, cough." Xia Xuan cleared his throat, and everyone's eyes gathered at once.

Xia Xuandao: "Today I summoned you to the palace mainly to choose concubines. Originally, I planned to randomly choose a few human beings as concubines to appease the people."

"After all, at my current level of life, the possibility of wanting to have offspring is very low. And my lifespan is still several hundred years, and it should increase in the future. Now I am not in a hurry to give birth to the next generation of successors."

Xia Xuan glanced at the four women in front of him who could be called the best in Daxia regardless of their looks or temperament, and said: "Frankly speaking, your arrival was an accident. If you don't want to become imperial concubines, I allow you to refuse. "

If this is an open selection of concubines, as citizens of the empire, they have no right to refuse, only the result of losing the election. Because since you agreed to participate in the selection of concubines, it shows that you have made up your mind to become the concubine of the empire, and now that you reject the emperor, you are slapping the entire empire in the face.

But this time it was a secret concubine selection, and the only people who knew about it were everyone present and the brave team, and they wouldn't say it out of nowhere. So there are not so many gauges, and it doesn't matter if you refuse.

For Xia Xuan, what he was looking for was their strength, vision, knowledge, discussants who could have the same topic as him, not their bodies.

It is even more impossible to force them, and Xia Xuan doesn't bother to do so. Besides, apart from other things, he is still a fifth-tier powerhouse, and he must at least have basic respect for a person.

They refused to become imperial concubines, Xia Xuan could still summon them in the name of the emperor to discuss the level of life. They agreed to become imperial concubines, and Xia Xuan could discuss with them anytime and anywhere all kinds of knowledge, views on the world, and climbing the level of life.

No matter which one it is, Xia Xuan can get what he wants. They may earn blood, but they will never lose money.

Chitong suddenly raised her hand and said, "I found that I have fallen in love with palace cuisine, and I want to eat every meal in the future."

Xia Xuan covered his face and said speechlessly: "This answer is very in your style."

Estes stretched out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, looked at Xia Xuan with burning eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, I came here for you, do you think I will abstain?"

Stephanie hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Your Majesty, can I tell the truth?"

After the conversation just now, Stephanie found that the human emperor did not like beauty as she imagined. This emperor is obviously more like a god, a god who balances the entire empire. This also made her lose her only advantage. Instead of pretending to like the emperor, she might as well confront her directly.

Xia Xuan nodded and said, "Yes."

After receiving the answer, Stephanie took a deep breath, and then said, "Actually, my main purpose of running for the imperial concubine is to gain greater power and status."

"After establishing the Dreamland Group, I gained a lot of social resources. But without power, the social resources I got can only stay on the surface, and I can't get in touch with more precious resources."

Stephanie looked at Estes and Chitong who were sitting on her right, and said, "For example, the two next to me should be members of the Pioneer Legion, and they should have known about the existence of the soul tree for a long time. .”

"As the president of Dream Group, I have thousands of times more social resources than them, but I know less than them. This is power and status, so what if I have more wealth? No power will last forever. You can’t get access to something of real value.”

"Just like now, just being a candidate for an imperial concubine can give me access to intelligence at the level of the soul tree. And I need the status of an imperial concubine to give me the qualifications to truly have access to various precious resources."

Stephanie's words made Elena, the elf queen next to her, think a lot in an instant, and she saw clearly the current situation of the elves.

With our own appearance, our elves are very influential among the people. But in terms of social discourse power, and politically, our elves have only one self-governing region.

Although the number of Liches and Necromancers is small, they have a very large voice in the academic world. Although the demons are ugly and relatively irritable, they join the army with their strong physical fitness. He doesn't have much right to speak yet, but he may have a place in the army in the future.

Other races have a part of the social discourse power in their respective areas of expertise, while the elves are still standing still, and the only place where they shine is the infrastructure industry. But there is a fart use for this, should we let all the elves do civil engineering in the future?

Elena struggled for more than ten seconds, and finally summoned up her courage to say: "Your Majesty, the elves also need more power."

After a few minutes of conversation, the concubine selection meeting turned into a political marriage.

Although Da Xia advocates the equality of all races, power is in the hands of humans. There is no problem for other races to gain social discourse power, but it is very difficult to gain real power.

Purely speaking from the political aspect, it is more than 10 times more difficult for various races to enter the political field to get promoted than human beings, and they may not be able to be promoted successfully.

The people who are now in the power center of Daxia are all human beings, and there is no place for all ethnic groups in the top power. If all ethnic groups want to gain a place in the top power, they need to rely on time and climb up step by step.

As for the imperial concubine's method of reaching the sky in one step, Elena and Stephanie couldn't refuse.

Although imperial concubines do not have any real power, this status allows them to have access to various secrets. No longer being kept in the dark as before, only being arranged.

Elena and Stephanie want to gain more power by becoming the concubine of the empire. Xia Xuanwo wants to let the elves and succubi really stand by his side through the marriage with the two.

...

On the second day, Xia Xuan did not hold a grand concubine accepting ceremony, but announced Naesdes and Chitong as concubines to the outside world, so as to calm the worries of the people about the emperor's singleness.

As for why not declare Stephanie and Elena as concubines? This is mainly to prevent other races from overthinking. Because if it is announced that a succubus queen and an elf queen are to be concubines, in the eyes of other races, this is a political marriage.

Some people took the lead, and other races also wanted to gain a greater voice in this way. What if dwarves, lizardmen, liches and other races all want to be princesses?

Of course, I can reject these races, but I don't worry about the few but the unevenness. Her elves and succubi can gain greater rights in this way, but I can't. Overall there is bound to be some commotion.

What Elena and Stephanie wanted was not to declare their identities as imperial concubines, but the status and power possessed by the imperial concubine.

...

So without any emotional foreshadowing, and without the so-called liking each other, Xia Xuan married 4 wives at a time and successfully opened a harem.

Stephanie and Elena stayed in the palace directly, after all there was nothing to do even if they went back. Although Stephanie is the president of Dreamland Group, she doesn't really care about things.

Although Elena is the mayor of the Elven Autonomous Region and has the administrative power of the Elven Autonomous Region, she usually leaves everything to her subordinates.

The two of them simply explained through communication that they would not go back for the time being.

Chitong and Esdeth had originally lived in the palace, but they used to live in the outskirts of the pioneer legion. With the status of imperial concubine, they have a suite in the center of the palace.

Although they can live in the center of the palace, Estes and Chitong spend most of their time training at the pioneer corps. For example, Chitong, Xia Xuan only saw her when eating.

In fact, Xia Xuan's life hasn't changed much. He still deals with government affairs, climbs up the level of life, and handles government affairs... It's just that there are a few more people around him who can talk and talk with him. By.

The only one who could talk to him before was the Goddess of Knowledge, but most of the conversation between the two of them was small talk. When encountering questions about the level of life, Xia Xuan usually asks, and the goddess of knowledge gives the answer directly.

For example, regarding the issue of magic, Xia Xuan just put forward a conjecture, and the goddess of knowledge figured it out immediately.

A year ago, when Xia Xuan was looking at the latest engraved magic machine, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Thinking of engraving magic on the human body through some method, such as skin, flesh and blood, so that the chanting can be omitted when releasing the magic, so as to achieve an instant effect.

Xia Xuan told this conjecture to the Goddess of Knowledge, and originally wanted to deduce this idea with her to see if it was feasible. However, on the second day, the goddess of knowledge developed the magic corridor system.

Magic Corridor: A brand new magic system, so that all magic has a fixed formula. The caster can engrave this warlock on himself, or on some special storage items, such as magic circles and spells.

In the past, if the caster wanted to release magic, he had to simulate the magic to be released in his mind before releasing it. This method attaches great importance to the aptitude and strength of the caster itself. A powerful caster can release several spells in one second, while a weak caster needs to release magic through chants.

In the past, a magician was a profession that was rewarded by God. Your starting point determines your end point. No matter how much effort you put in, geniuses can always go farther than you in most cases. Even if you risk your life, go through countless life and death and finally realize the transformation of your soul, you are just barely walking with those geniuses.

The emergence of the magic corridor bridged the gap between the mediocre and the genius to a certain extent. A mediocre person can rely on the magic corridor, and like a genius, he can release several magic spells at once.

But the Magic Corridor only made up for the gap in strength between the two sides. In fact, it did not change the essence of magicians relying on the sky.

To put it simply, whether a magician is strong or not mainly depends on mana, and the soul is the place where high-dimensional energy is stored. The upper limit of the soul is the upper limit of mana.

Since that time, Xia Xuan gave up the idea of ​​discussing knowledge with the Goddess of Knowledge. After all, the magic in the world of Goblin Slayer was actually created by the Goddess of Knowledge. Talking about magic with her is simply looking for abuse. Therefore, most of Xia Xuan's communication with the Goddess of Knowledge on weekdays is gossip and complaints.

In the next period of time, as soon as Xia Xuan finished handling the government affairs, he took his concubine and started the study meeting.

The communication during this period has benefited him a lot, especially Stephanie's dream magic gave him a deeper insight into the various personalities in the body. Xia Xuan also found that the personalities in his body showed signs of recovery.

Elena and Stephanie looked confused at first, it seemed that it was a bit different from the princess life she imagined. Shouldn't the life of an imperial concubine be to please the emperor and then crazily trample on her competitors?

Through exchanges and discussions with the emperor, Stephanie and Elena came into contact with things that they were not qualified to touch before. Such as Soul Tree, Portal, Genesis Project.

Especially the Genesis Project. When they first saw it, they wondered if they were dreaming. Daxia actually had the ability to create a world consciousness.

Although getting along with the emperor is very strange, you don't need to try your best to please him, you just need to learn from him. In this regard, Elena and Stephanie quickly accepted this way of getting along. Their main purpose of becoming princesses was to use this status to get in touch with more secrets like the soul tree and obtain some secrets that cannot be exchanged for money. H.

...

Five days later, at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, Xia Xuan finished his day's work and returned to his bedroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Xia Xuan found that his bed had been occupied.

At this moment, Xia Xuan's bed was already occupied by a woman wearing only a white shirt with ice-blue long hair.

Xia Xuan asked: "Esdes, what are you doing? And the shirt on your body seems to be mine."

Estes smiled slightly and replied, "Your Majesty, I have a new idea about energy crystals."

"Oh." Xia Xuan suddenly became interested. If energy crystals can be mass-produced in the form of factories, then the combat effectiveness of magicians will rise several levels.

Estes patted his side and said, "Your Majesty, please sit down first, and this concubine will explain to you in detail."

Xia Xuan sat down beside her without thinking too much, and said, "If your energy crystal can be mass-produced, then it will be a new currency, something more precious than gold."

The next moment, Xia Xuan was suddenly pinned down on the bed.

Xia Xuan looked at Estes riding on him with some doubts, and said, "What are you doing?"

At this time, Esdeth's pretty face was slightly red, his eyes were hot, and with a very seductive smile on his face, he said: "Your Majesty, I said that one day you will be conquered by me."

...

At noon on the second day, on the outskirts of the imperial capital, in the portal area.

The Goddess of Knowledge walked out of the portal at a pace of disbelief. At this time, the Goddess of Knowledge had a bright smile on her face. She is in a very good mood now, thanks to the tremendous progress the Genesis project has made.

"Heh heh heh, Xia Xuan dared to question this goddess' genesis plan. You will be ashamed of your own stupidity later."

The next moment, the figure of the Goddess of Knowledge disappeared out of thin air. She couldn't wait to return to the palace and tell Xia Xuan the progress of the Genesis Project.

The Goddess of Knowledge could even imagine that Xia Xuan was finally overwhelmed by his own knowledge, holding his thigh and looking at him with adoring eyes.

...

Palace, office.

A silver-haired woman in a white robe appeared out of thin air.

"Imperial Palace, your goddess is back!"

As soon as the words fell, the divine light on the goddess of knowledge suddenly froze, because she discovered that Xia Xuan was not here today to deal with government affairs.

The Goddess of Knowledge looked at the cartoon dinosaur floating in the air, her expression became more confused, and she asked, "Number 2, why didn't you follow Xia Xuan today?"

On weekdays, Goddess of Knowledge No. 2 is simply Xia Xuan's shadow. Wherever Xia Xuan went, No. 2 floated there, but today No. 2 did not follow Xia Xuan for the first time.

"Xuan, let No. 2, don't talk to him for the time being." Goddess of Knowledge No. 2 replied.

The Goddess of Knowledge suddenly felt that something was wrong. She sensed that there were a few more 5th Street and other life forms in the palace.

The goddess of knowledge continued to ask: "Why are there two more fifth-order life forms in the palace?"

Goddess of Knowledge No. 2 said: "Xuan, Concubine Na."

Goddess of Knowledge: ? ? ?

"Clam!!?"
