Now that the legations are on the edge of Oroyosta, all that remains is the question of when and how to enter the most prosperous city in the land of Europe. This question seems simple, but in fact it is extremely important and complex, at least in the eyes of several adults led by Li Wenmin, in the past two days, they have burst out of the greatest enthusiasm and vitality since coming to Europe, gathered together day and night to discuss, it is said that Zhang Laozhang also asked Zhang Laozhang to move out the rare books and classics of the former dynasty Confucianism, citing scriptures and classics to repeatedly refer to what kind of attitude to hold what kind of ceremony, what kind of ceremonial guard to use, in order to properly express the status and demeanor of the heavenly state.

Master Li also invited Feng Yinqiu to participate in this discussion, of course, he did not expect him to really put forward any high opinions that were in line with Confucian etiquette, but he felt that such an important decision should be made for him, an 'important person', to also come and participate in it. Feng Yinqiu was naturally respectful, and he didn't care much about this. If you just let the old men of the Ministry of Rites toss around, maybe you can really come up with a plan that you have to burn incense and bow down for ten miles to welcome the angels, but with the old man of the Zhang family inside, this situation is unlikely to happen. Although this old man is very selfish, the city government is quite deep, but the general direction is consistent with the interests of the envoys after all, and it is also a weight to restrain those adults who are stupid in reading sage books, from this point of view, Feng Yinqiu feels that he is really indispensable along the way.

Therefore, Feng Yinqiu was relieved to leave these problems to Old Man Zhang to take care of, and he came to try to deal with some more important problems.

In Liu Xuanying's account, Liu Xuanying was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. He exhaled and breathed in a very long way, and a vague mist slowly rose from his top door, rising straight into the air a few feet behind and forming a thin cloud. Next to him, Wind Yinqiu stood still, staring at him without blinking, the light of arcane formation flickering in the void in front of him.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Xuanying opened his eyes, and the mist above his head also dissipated in a blink of an eye, he coughed lightly, spit out a small mouthful of metallic-colored blood, and the tent was suddenly filled with an iron smell. Liu Xuanying's small mouthful of blood fell to the ground, and suddenly smashed a small pit on the ground, and at the same time, the blood also quickly seeped into the ground and disappeared again.

"How?" Liu Xuanying turned his head to look at Feng Yinqiu next to him. Although there was no sweat on his face, the tiredness was still evident, as if this period of meditation was a great burden for him.

“... No, at least I can't use this arcane art—" Feng Yinqiu shook his head rather strangely, and the arcane light in his eyes dimmed. This was one of the arcane arts he had gotten from the two female mages in the Azure Red Theater, and it was already a detective arcane that was up to the Six Rings. He was now trying to use the arcane detective to probe Liu Xuanying's state and see if he could find any way to alleviate his injuries.

I have to admit that this arcane art is indeed extremely convenient in many places, and the arcane illusion that appeared in his eyes just now marked everything in his field of vision with various marks, and also divided into details according to the different points of his gaze, and everything he saw in front of him was clearly identified and analyzed relative to the movement and thought. For example, when he stared at Liu Xuanying, Liu Xuanying's height, weight, breathing and pulse rate, life intensity, etc., were automatically displayed in the illusion vision.

It's a pity that this arcane ring technique is not enough, and the exploration of Liu Xuanying has always only stayed on these surface states, and even the elemental tendency shows 'extreme balance - relative volatility is less than 0.001%', but the blood that Liu Xuanying coughed up is shown as 'High Law Elemental Crystal A-grade', and it is constantly flashing with golden light around it, as if reminding him that this is a gem worth picking up, which makes him quite a little crying and laughing. Obviously, the level of this arcane art is powerless against the operation and harmony of the Daomen's innate true qi, as well as the bit of true spirit qi that Liu Xuan should suppress to the death.

In addition, the various data and nouns displayed on this reconnaissance arcane Feng Yinqiu seem to be really struggling, he has indeed made up a lot of arcane knowledge in the past few months, but he still can't understand many of these highly professional concepts thoroughly, and he only seems to feel dizzy. In fact, even if he used the arcane art of the higher ring to probe, the result of analyzing according to those data state analysis would probably not surprise Liu Xuanying's own judgment based on his feelings--that breath of true spirit qi was entangled with his flesh and blood essence, almost fused together, and it was almost impossible to get rid of it in ordinary ways.

Of course, this arcane way is also profound and broad after all, and if there can be an arcane with nine rings or even ten rings and eleven rings, this problem can be easily solved. Feng Yinqiu said: "... It seems that we still have to go to the Arcane Academy to find a way, fortunately, the chairman has invited us, I want to come and go to mediate and request, please move the chairman to heal Liu Daochang, you should have no problem, it is said that he is one of the top arcane masters in this European land, and the wealth in this arcane academy is also the most abundant......"

“... Forget it..."Liu Xuanying showed hesitation and embarrassment. "The poor road itself slowly carries the breath, relying on the Xuantian Xinggang and this true spirit qi to slowly sharpen, the big deal is a year and a half of water grinding work, and there is no need to owe those Euro people favors for the poor road. ”

"Where is Daochang Liu. The wind laughed. "Daochang Liu is the mainstay of my envoy corps, the sooner your injuries heal, the more safe and powerful the envoy will be. And even if there is a favor, we are not responsible, you were injured by helping the Inclave people, they pretended not to see it before, and now that the matter is known to everyone, they dare not turn a deaf ear no matter what. Didn't the Anthony family come to apologize with gongs and drums? What price to pay, what favors to owe, there are people from Incre, Daochang Liu, don't worry. ”

But the embarrassed look on Liu Xuanying's face did not dissipate in the slightest, he pondered for a while and said: "... But I heard that most of the arcane healing methods for people are dissecting and dismantling bones, and even forcibly fusing alien flesh and blood into human bodies, which is just like the outer magic on Shenzhou. This method imposed on the body by external forces is completely different from the purpose of our Daomen, and the poor Dao is afraid that even if this injury is cured, it will leave something in other places. ”

"It's... Where did Daochang Liu hear about it?" Feng Yinqiu was a little stunned. However, this is not wrong, the Necromancy School in Arcane is this path, although it also has many incredible effects, and it is indeed incompatible with the Divine Dao Sect Heart Law in essence.

"It's Angelo, the governor of the port. Liu Xuanying replied. "Although that young man doesn't look amazing, he is actually quite smart, and he has come all the way to learn martial arts on this side of the poor road, and even the words of Shenzhou have entered the realm a lot. Poor Dao had heard a lot about the arcane arts from him. ”

"It turned out to be him. Feng Yinqiu nodded. "He's not wrong, but if we go to seek help from the Arcane Academy, it will definitely not be such a simple and crude method, then the chairman is the Arcane Grand Master after all, and the mysteries of the Arcane above the Nine Rings are quite a bit of a direct path to the origin of the Dao, and the problem of this true spirit breath should also start from the five elements rather than the flesh and blood. ”

It's just that Liu Xuanying was still a little hesitant on his face, thought about it and shook his head and said: "But if you want the poor Dao to demonstrate the pranayama movement for those European masters to study, then the poor Dao would rather work hard by himself." ”

Liu Daochang was too worried. If you don't want to, they won't force it. Feng Yinqiu smiled dumbly. But it's normal to think about it, the Xuantian Yuan Qi and the Nine Heavens Xinggang of the True Martial Arts Sect are all recognized as first-class Xuanmen authentic kung fu on the rivers and lakes of Shenzhou, even if it is within the True Martial Arts Sect, if there are disciples with insufficient root bone talent and virtue, they can't be taught, if one or two cheats of this level of kung fu accidentally fall into the rivers and lakes, the result will cause countless people to compete for it, setting off a bloody storm and falling into a bloody pestle. Liu Xuan should have some scruples, not to mention whether there is a way for the Arcanist masters to steal this magic skill, it's just that the extremely mysterious Shimen Zhenshan Inheritance was carried to the test bench by a group of Euro barbarians, and they tossed and fiddled with it over and over like other test subjects, which was absolutely unacceptable psychologically.

"Alas, it's not that the poor Dao doesn't know the general situation, it's just that Mr. Feng, you also know that this Euro arcane is just the way of instrumental arts, no matter how noble and humble the Euro mages who came into contact with this way, no matter how bright they look on the outside, they are all mercenary inside, and the poor Dao has to be a little wary, who knows if those Euro barbarians will secretly do it for any benefit or simply out of curiosity..."Liu Xuanying's face softened slightly, and he sighed. Suddenly, his expression shifted again, and he looked up. "Hey, there are actually some uninvited guests who have found a different way, and I don't know which Euro mage's means. ”

Following Liu Xuanying's eyes, it was just an ordinary tent roof, but of course Feng Yinqiu knew that Liu Xuanying was not paying attention to this, and as soon as his mind moved, the reconnaissance arcane that had just been withdrawn was immediately reused, and the arcane image began to generate in his sight, and then he saw a hazy figure in the distance above the tent.

Higher elemental creatures, A-class regularity, 90% wind elemental balance, 201 meters away. This was the data that the arcane showed in his vision, and the hazy figure was not really seen by him, but was drawn directly by the arcane in his field of vision. And as he gazed, and this figure continued to approach here, this originally hazy outline gradually became clear, and it was a well-dressed and somewhat noble male figure.

At this time, Feng Yinqiu also sensed this figure that was coming quickly towards this place with his own perception, and there were indeed faint signs of wind elemental swirling, it was an elemental creature or an elemental puppet, but it was the first time that an elemental creature that looked like a real person in such a way was seen. And although this elemental creature was not slow, it did not show hostility or deliberately hide itself, and flew straight outside the tent and stopped.

"His Excellency Bastinne Magnus, Chairman of the Royal Arcane Academy, has a message to convey to His Excellency Feng, Chief of Staff of the Imperial Legation of the 'Qian' Empire. May I ask if you can come in?" a calm and magnetic male voice sounded outside the tent, his tone subdued and elegantly worded, exactly the model of the tone of an imperial nobleman.

"Of course, please come in. Feng Yinqiu replied immediately.

The tent was lifted, and a translucent figure floated in. Just like what Feng Yinqiu had seen in the arcane vision before, this was a well-dressed, dignified-looking, elegant and standard humanoid with a posture and demeanor like an aristocratic textbook, but it was almost completely transparent, and the condensed and orderly wind element showed that this was indeed an elemental body that was not flesh and blood, but was built from the wind element.

The appearance of the elemental body is purely determined by the nature of the element itself, and it does not have the slightest commonality with humans, so this appearance is undoubtedly artificial, so even if he doesn't feel the fluctuations of the arcane, Feng Yinqiu knows that this should be a puppet created by the arcane.

"Ah, it's Your Excellency the Chief of Staff. The wind elemental humanoid puppet bowed to Wind Yinqiu. "I am the messenger of His Excellency Chairman Bastinne Magnus, and I have a personal message for you, would you like to hear it now?"

“...... Can I ask you a question first?" Feng Yinqiu looked at the wind element of this nobleman's appearance with interest. "Are you alive?"

"Of course not, as you can see, I'm just an air elemental. The wind element replied, still in the same voice full of modulation, even full of emotion, and the expression on the transparent face was also very vivid.

The elemental body is not a living body, it is just an abnormal state of the four elements after a high degree of condensation, which can be said to be another form of water flow stone flame. Even elemental lifeforms like the Elemental Thunderbird, which only exist in the Elemental Fragment Realm, are flesh and blood that are fundamentally different from the elemental body. There is no life to speak of, and of course there will be no so-called feelings and thoughts, but the speech and posture of this elemental body in front of him are no different from those of people.

"That's... Do you have a mind and consciousness of your own?" Feng Yinqiu was even more curious. Heavenly Master puppets such as the Golden Armor Lux in the Heavenly Master Dao can also be similar to people in appearance, and it is common for them to have a certain spiritual intelligence to understand orders and act, but the core of that kind of Dao Gate puppet is either the flow of Yin Ghosts, or the spirit of living beings, and they are still living beings in essence, and there is not the slightest sign of this similar in the elemental body in front of them.

Even Liu Xuanying frowned and looked this wind elemental humanoid up and down repeatedly: "How can this Five Elements armor soldier still act like a living person?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have a mind of my own. I'm just a courier made of the arcane. Everything about me is made of great arcane. The wind element replied politely, but his expression and voice were not stiff at all, and there was a hint of regret. "Here is the news brought to you by His Excellency the Chairman, can you listen to it now?"

“... You say. Feng Yinqiu temporarily suppressed her curiosity about this wind element.

"Your Excellency, the Director, I hope you will pay a private visit to the Arcane Academy before you make an official visit to the Arcane Academy on behalf of the Legations, as he has some important questions to discuss with you. In fact, according to etiquette, His Excellency the Chairman should come to visit you in person, but His Excellency the President's every move will attract a lot of attention, and he has always had important things to do in the Arcane Academy, so I can only ask you to take the initiative to visit him once. He would like to express his sincerest apologies to you. Speaking of which, the Wind Elemental bowed to the Wind with standard aristocratic etiquette. "In addition, this visit is purely private in nature and it is recommended that you do not let too many people know. ”

Liu Xuanying saw Feng Yinqiu frowning and groaning on the side, so he asked, "How is it?" Mr. Feng. What does this armored puppet say?"

Feng Yinqiu shook his head: "... The chairman invited me to have a private meeting with him before visiting in the name of the legations. I wonder what's going on here?"

"You must know the strange situation, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, you will naturally know when you go for a while. The wind element on the side suddenly smiled and said in Shenzhou dialect.

Feng Yinqiu and Liu Xuanying were both stunned, and both of them looked at this wind element in amazement. After a pause, Feng Yinqiu asked tentatively, "Yes... Your Excellency, Chairman?"

The wind element still smiled very gracefully, and replied, "It's not that you think, Your Excellency the Chairman didn't manipulate me, it's just that I just happen to know some Western words." ”

Feng Yinqiu and Liu Xuanying glanced at each other, and the look of shock in their eyes only increased. I don't know how high the arcane art that shaped this humanoid wind elemental messenger is, it should be below the nine rings logically, but the shock to them is unprecedented, and it is not even weaker than the arcane above the ten rings of the edict to seal the gods. This is a direct subversion of the meaning of the concept of 'living beings', if this arcane can make rocks, water, fire, and so on can have spiritual intelligence, completely like a living person, then this is not only the way of art, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the way of creation.

"Your Excellency, then, is waiting for your visit from Your Excellency Chief of Staff. He hoped it would be within a few days. A translucent crystal nameplate flew out of the Wind Elemental's body and floated towards Wind Yinqiu. "This is the visitor nameplate of the Arcane Academy, and if you enter the academy with this, Your Excellency will know it immediately. ”

"Okay, I'll visit him tomorrow. Feng Yinqiu caught it, and the light in his eyes burned. This arcane wind element had completely piqued his interest, and even if he wasn't invited, he was going to meet the archmage who had the faint title of the first man of Europe.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then a voice with a strange accent was outside in Shenzhou dialect: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, I'm Angelo, can I come in?"

After Liu Xuanying said yes, the tent was lifted, and the big-faced son of the Governor of Osstar City rushed in, and as soon as he saw the transparent wind elemental humanoid, he immediately shouted: "Ah, it's really an arcane servant, I saw him from afar and thought I was wrong." Is this His Excellency the Chairman of the Board of Directors inviting Mr. Liu and Mr. Feng?"

"How do you know you're the director of the Arcane Academy?" asked Feng Yinqiu.

“... Arcane Servant This arcane seems to be only known to the Council of Directors, and everyone in the academy knows about it. However, he usually only uses it when he is facing more important things or important guests, so I think he must have come to invite Mr. Feng and Mr. Liu. Angelo replied with a shrug and waved at the wind elemental humanoid. "Hello, it's been a long time since I've seen you. ”

"It wasn't me the last time you saw you. Every time Arcane creates a thralls that are new. The wind elemental bowed slightly and smiled at the big-faced boy.

Angelo nodded, turned to Feng Yinqiu and said, "Ah, by the way, that... The Sword of Benevolence has returned, and I was just asking how I can get to the Arcane Academy to find His Excellency the Director. ”

"Isn't that right? Tell him to come with him tomorrow." Feng Yinqiu nodded.

"Ah, is that Mr. Sword of Mercy? His Excellency is also looking forward to his presence. The Wind Elemental immediately agreed.

"Haha, I think I heard some people talking about my name. With a loud laugh, the Sword of Benevolence burst straight in. Feng Yinqiu and Liu Xuan nodded and smiled at him, and they didn't feel that he was rude, in fact, to the point where they were like this, they had already greeted each other without hiding their breath and footsteps.

"Oh, what is this?" looked at the humanoid wind elemental, and the Sword of Benevolence looked up and down curiously. "I heard it's the Chairman's unique arcane?"

"Not really, it's just that in the current era, the only person who can skillfully use the eight-ring arcane of the Arcane Servant in the Arcane Academy is His Excellency the Director. The wind elemental bowed to the sword of benevolence. "Hello, Your Excellency the Sword of Benevolence, and I look forward to your visit. ”

The Sword of Benevolence looked at the humanoid wind elemental, and suddenly spoke, asking in a somewhat ill-intentioned tone, "... I have a question, this servant should be able to change into other appearances at will, such as sexy beauties, and there must be some more interesting role than sending letters......"

"Such a boring question, please allow me to refuse to answer. The wind element is still polite and polite, with a graceful smile.

"Haha, okay, then I'll ask the chairman in person tomorrow. The daimyo of the Arcane Academy, I've wanted to visit it for a long time. The sword of benevolence pointed at Angelo. "Boy, you're a student at the Arcane Academy, right? By the way, don't we still have a genius arcane boy who wants to be sent to the academy for further study? ”
