Coming out of the comprehensive college, Yi Xingchen's interest was still high, perhaps he was infected by the high emotions of the students, Yi Xingchen's heart was also very excited, and he didn't want to return to the palace for a while, but he wanted to go to other places to see. So, Yi Xingchen turned his head to Wei Wenyuan and asked, "What else is the itinerary today?"

"I would like to inform Your Majesty that today's scheduled itinerary has come to an end. Wei Wenyuan replied.

Hearing this, Yi Xingchen nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Then next, go to the pastor's church to have a look." ”

As soon as Yi Xingchen's words fell, Yan En immediately understood and left first to arrange a vehicle for Yi Xingchen to go to the pastor's church. Because the priest's church is not in Xinghua City, but in Xinghua New City, as the emperor, it is impossible for Yi Xingchen to walk there, so Yan En needs to prepare a carriage for Yi Xingchen.

It's not that hard. Because there was already an emperor's exclusive carriage in the palace, Yan En just took it.

Not long after, Yan En quickly drove over, picked up Yi Xingchen and others, and went to Xinghua New Town.

Compared with the solemnity and tense order of Xinghua City, Xinghua New Town has a lot more liveliness in the market. Moreover, the business atmosphere of Xinghua New Town is also stronger than that of Xinghua City, because most of the goods are gathered in Xinghua New Town, and the stores affiliated to the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce in Xincheng are sold wholesale. These commodities include the Xinghua City factory from the Xinghua Empire, as well as the ones that Yi Xingchen shipped back from Blue Mercury, and of course, the specialties of the empire and the products of the Xia Kingdom.

Therefore, when Yi Xingchen just entered Xinghua New Town, he fully felt the more lively atmosphere than Xinghua City, and his mood was more pleasant. As soon as the interest arrived, Yi Xingchen wanted to join in the fun, so he looked out of the car window and said, "It's very lively here." I want to go down and take a walk. ”

The carriage that Yi Xingchen sat in was, judging from the style, an ordinary carriage that was more common in both Xinghua City and Xinghua New Town. Because these vehicles are actually horse-drawn carriages specially made by Xinghua City and sold in a unified manner. Whether it's a cabinet minister or a wealthy businessman. As long as you have enough financial resources to afford it, you can buy one. However, in general, in order to distinguish the identity of the owner, a special flag indicating the owner will be hung in front of the vehicle. And Yi Xingchen's carriage is exclusive to the emperor precisely because his flag is different from other people's and has a special logo.

But Yi Xingchen didn't let Yan En hang up this flag to show his identity today, so he was ready to have a private visit to Weifu. Because Yi Xingchen really didn't want to see that his arrival would cause any riots in Xinghua New Town. Moreover, he really just wants to relax and take a good look at the changes in Xinghua New Town.

Afterwards, Yi Xingchen got out of the carriage, took Yan En and four other guards, and slowly walked in the direction of the pastor's church, leaving Wei Wenyuan to continue driving the carriage. Go first to the pastor's church.

A group of five people soon walked to the commercial street of Xinghua New Town.

The commercial street of Xinghua New Town. Bringing together merchants from all walks of life, all kinds of commodities, competing for beauty here in the commercial street, a hundred flowers blooming, in it, only feel a dazzling array of dazzling. Dazzled. Therefore, as long as it is open for business, it is full of people coming and going, and it is very lively.

Yi Xingchen and Yan En walked slowly on this commercial street. Although the five of them all had a proud and satisfied look on their faces, the feelings in Yi Xingchen's heart were somewhat different from the four of them.

Xinghua New City started from scratch, and then developed to today's scale and grandeur, which made Yi Xingchen have mixed feelings in his heart.

Back then, Yi Xingchen could only collect goods from all over the world, and according to the will left by the ancestor of another world, he could help the re-emergence of Xinghua and supply the living necessities of Xinghua people. At that time, although Yi Xingchen had the grand ambition of establishing an exclusive territory, and was bound to make the Xinghua Kingdom rich and strong as soon as possible, but in the frequent need to travel back and forth between Blue Mercury and other worlds, he could only take care of the survival of the people of the Xinghua Kingdom, and was far from imagining that the Xinghua Empire could finally develop to the current situation.

Therefore, looking at the grand scene of Xinghua New Town Commercial Street, Yi Xingchen seemed to see that the child he had worked so hard to raise finally got ahead, and the relief in his heart was indescribable.

Yi Xingchen slowed down his pace more and more on this commercial street, entering a store he was interested in from time to time, casually taking a look at the goods, and enjoying the sense of accomplishment and comfort that this place brought him.

After walking around and looking at a lot of goods, Yi Xingchen, who was in a good mood, finally began to feel hungry in his stomach. As soon as he turned his face, there was a barbecue restaurant not far from the street, and the fragrance of the food was still faintly coming, which attracted the saliva of these people, so Yi Xingchen directly chose this store, and Yan En and others walked straight into the store, and after looking at it, they ordered the signature dish of this store - turkey meat, and each person asked for several skewers, and slowly enjoyed the food.

As soon as the food was imported, Yi Xingchen was stunned, I don't know if it was because he was hungry, or because this turkey meat was extraordinary, and Yi Xingchen really didn't often encounter such a taste. As soon as he became addicted, Yi Xingchen became energetic, and immediately instructed Yan En to buy a few raw turkeys that had been processed from the store, remove the bones and retain the meat, pack them and take them away.

The Pastoral Church has its own building, which houses a chaplaincy and the dean of the chaplaincy is Sheehan.

Because almost all the students of the Priesthood College are from Blue Mercury, for the convenience and unity of teaching, Prime Minister Sheehan set up a separate Priesthood College for indoctrination and pastoral learning. However, because Sheen is first and foremost the prime minister of the Xinghua Empire, he is busy with state affairs, and there are more and more important things that Sheen needs to deal with personally, so he does not often stay in the Priest College to guide the students, so Sheen once asked Yi Xingchen for instructions, and after getting Yi Xingchen's permission, he appointed Mihach as the host of the Priest College, replacing Sheen during his absence, and was fully responsible for the size of the Priest College.

Mihachi, a first-class priest, has mastered supernatural skills. He used to be a village chief of the Blue Mercury Rich Khanate, and now he has become a citizen of the Xinghua Empire, and he was personally appointed by Sheehan, so he naturally has his own unique ability, and he has also won Yi Xingchen's trust.

Knowing that Yi Xingchen had come to inspect, Mihach hurriedly put down his work and met Yi Xingchen with an official salute.

It's Yi Xingchen. When I walked into the pastor's church, I didn't look like a king going out on tour, but I said to Mihach in the tone of a family member coming home: "Mihac, I don't know your eating habits. This is the turkey meat I brought. I just ate it, and it tastes great, if the kids can eat it, find someone to handle it and give them a taste. With that, he instructed Yan En to hand the takeaway raw turkey meat he had just bought at the barbecue restaurant to Mihachi.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!" Even though Yi Xingchen's tone was cordial, Mihach did not dare to trespass on his identity because of this, and still adhered to etiquette. Bow to the Emperor.

Seeing this, Yi Xingchen did not condemn it, the courtiers were more willing to maintain the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, after all, in the hearts of the courtiers, there was a sense of awe for him, which was also conducive to Yi Xingchen to lead the entire empire.

Subsequently. Yi Xingchen asked, "How many regular pastors are there now?" How many pastor apprentices are there?"

Mihach respectfully reported the situation of the Priest Academy to Yi Xingchen and said, "One hundred and twenty-three priest apprentices. Including me, there are 36 first-class pastors. ”

Yi Xingchen was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes lit up, he nodded with satisfaction, and praised: "In such a short time, there are so many priests. You're doing a good job. ”

Mihach didn't dare to take credit for himself, so he bowed down again and said modestly: "This is the wise leadership of Your Majesty. ”

"I want to send a few priests to Nanban City to establish faith in the land of the Hundred Barbarians, as you see. Is this plan feasible?" Yi Xingchen asked.

Mihachi's eyes flashed, and he responded: "Thirty-six first-class priests of the Priest Academy are on standby at any time. ”

"Then send three priests. I want you to grasp the faith of the barbarians, and the barbarians will obey your words and obey you, and submit to the empire from the bottom of your heart. Yi Xingchen said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Mihach replied.

Yi Xingchen thought for a moment and continued: "I will instruct the cabinet to improve the treatment of pastors' families. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" replied Mihach on his knees.

Yi Xingchen waved his hand to get Mihach up, and then ordered him to lead him around the priest's academy. Everyone walked slowly, and Yi Xingchen did not forget to properly encourage Mihachi and them, expecting them to integrate into the empire as soon as possible and become an indispensable part of the empire. Because, Yi Xingchen is still looking forward to the priests personally cultivated by the empire who can play a major role in the stability and development of the empire.

Originally, everything went relatively peacefully.

But when Yi Xingchen was about to leave the pastor's church, Yan En walked to his side with a walkie-talkie and a slightly nervous expression.

"What's the matter?" Yi Xingchen noticed something was wrong and immediately asked.

"Prime Minister Sheehan, there's something important to report. Yan Endao.

"Hey, Sheehan, what's wrong?" Yi Xingchen asked as he took the walkie-talkie.

"Your Majesty, there is a problem with refining the space passage key. Sheehan's words came over the intercom.

Yi Xingchen glanced at Mihachi and the other priests not far away, and replied, "Wait a minute, I'll go back, and you will tell me in detail." “

Let's say, Yi Xingchen hung up the phone and said goodbye to Mihach and the others.

Leaving the church and getting into the carriage, Yi Xingchen rushed back to Xinghua City.

Inside the Alchemy Research Institute, a heavily guarded laboratory.

Sheen and a group of alchemists are waiting for Yi Xingchen.

"See His Majesty the Emperor. Sheehan and the others saluted.

"Excuse me, what's going on?" Yi Xingchen asked directly to the point.

Sheen stood up and said, "The space passage key cannot be refined, and the refining process has come to a standstill. ”

"Why?, isn't there enough meteorite material?" Yi Xingchen asked.

"The meteorite provides enough materials to develop a space passage key. Sheehan paused and continued, "The problem is that there is not enough material. Through inquiry, reading classics, and more than a dozen experiments, we learned that we still have two problems that are difficult to solve when refining the space passage key. ”

"Which two questions?" Yi Xingchen was a little anxious.

"The first problem is that you need a kind of animal blood. This beast blood comes from a fierce beast called the Earth Dragon. The second problem, the magic circle on the space passage key, requires a fifth-level formation professional master who is proficient in the magic circle to engrave it. Sheehan replied.

Yi Xingchen thought for a while and said, "You tell me directly, where will the beast blood and formation masters in these two questions be there?"

"The Earth Dragons, who are said to live in the southern mountains of the Hundred Barbarian Lands, are a fierce and terrifying beast. Fifth-level formation masters, the Xia Kingdom in the east and the Roman Empire in the west should have them. It's just that formation masters have always been closely protected by various countries, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hire formation masters from other countries. Sheehan replied.

Yi Xingchen sat on a chair, thought for a while, and asked, "Is it possible that if these two problems are solved, everything will be fine?"

Sheehan replied affirmatively, "Indeed!"

"Okay, you can gather information about the giant earth dragons, including their habits, weaknesses, etc., the more detailed the better. When the time comes, I will hire an army to hunt down the giant earth dragon and seize the blood of the beast. Yi Xingchen paused for a moment and said, "As for the formation master, we will send someone to hire him with a lot of money, if you don't come, then tie it back directly." As long as I tie up the whole family of the formation master, he should be able to help me complete the formation engraving!"

Xian heard the irrefutable meaning of Yi Xingchen's words, and did not speak again.

Yi Xingchen continued: "I want to take a look at the key to the spatial passage. ”

Sheen took Yi Xingchen to change into a set of dust-free clothes, entered the dust-free treatment room, and then entered a closed room.

The key to the space passage is placed in the center of the room.

Yi Xingchen looked carefully, the meteorite imitated the key of the space passage, and it was generally completed, almost exactly the same as the key in the palace warehouse. The difference is that the color and the circle mark are missing. The former requires the blood of the beast, and the latter requires the formation master to complete the formation mark.

Yi Xingchen and Sheen left the alchemy laboratory together and returned to the Xinghua City Palace.

"What do you think I hired a hunting team on Blue Mercury to hunt down the Earth Dragon?" Yi Xingchen asked.

"Your Majesty, I suggest sending two teams, one for ours and the other for Blue Mercury, to prepare for both. Sheehan replied.

"Actually, I had an idea before to hire the mercenaries of Blue Mercury and let them help us defend the Hundred Barbarian Lands. Yi Xingchen said.

Sheen thought for a moment and said, "These mercenaries of Blue Mercury must be in our hands. ”

"That's for sure! They left the Xinghua Empire, and it was difficult for them to survive in another world. Yi Xingchen said.

"Your Majesty, which target shall we choose?, Xia Kingdom, or the Roman Empire?" Sheehan asked.

"Xinghua Chamber of Commerce, try to hire a formation master in the Xia Kingdom...... Roman Empire, it is not known how many citizens still remember this country. Let Allen send an elite army to the West, on the one hand, to investigate the situation of the Roman Empire, and on the other hand, to kidnap a formation master by any means. Yi Xingchen said.
