In the quiet study, only the sound of paper turning and the soft sound of the tip of the pen sliding.

Margareth sat behind her desk, taking notes earnestly.

Chen Xing's gaze moved away from her and landed on the bookcase. After wandering between the books for a moment, he pulled out one of them.

The black cover reads "Encyclopedia of the Imperial Spirit".

Turning the pages of the book, lines of tiny words fall into my eyes.

Overview:

The definition of a spirit is that it is a spirit that is drawn by the host and acts on the regular world with the host's psionic power.

Bound and driven by the host, there is also the possibility of backlash in individual cases.

Note:

The concept of a spirit is different from the popular perception of a soul.

The soul as it is recognized by the general public is "a spirit with a complete sense of self", while a spirit has almost no self-consciousness, only the instincts of the species derived from the imprint of life and some of the habitual thinking patterns.

In psychology, the human spirit is divided into three parts, id, ego, and superego.

The "id" is the complete subconscious, representing desires, suppressed by the conscious;

The "self" has most of the consciousness and is responsible for dealing with real-world affairs;

The "superego" has only a small part of consciousness, which is a conscience or an inner moral judgment.

To put it simply, the soul has a complete id, ego, and superego, whereas the spirit body has only the id and superego.

There is no academic evidence for the existence of the soul (other than religion), and it is generally accepted that the brain is the only vehicle of the spirit.

As a result, when a biological brain dies, self-consciousness disappears with it.

Please understand that the above annotations only represent academic views and do not involve major religious doctrines.

Types of Spirits:

According to the division of species, it can be divided into biological spirits and creator spirits, among which biological spirits can be subdivided into animal spirits, plant spirits, bones, etc., and creator spirits can be divided into mechanical puppets, demon spirits, fakes, etc.

In terms of spiritual level, it can be divided into neutral spirits, evil spirits, heroic spirits and false gods.

……

After reading this part, Chen Xing had some new understanding of the Imperial Spirit.

His Goblin Legion is supposed to be a humanoid spirit among the creatures, a neutral spirit with evil tendencies.

The so-called neutral spirit is a spirit that does not have a particularly strong will and a code of good and evil.

In short, it is to do whatever the master tells him to do, be well-behaved and upright, and have no principles and no bottom line.

The vast majority of Spirits fall into this category.

For example, the seven-colored deer of Yeyang White Willow, Lacey's Snake Queen and Manticor, Riandell Ralph's Angamaso and Agamaso, as well as Aria's Legion of Destruction, Trilith's Succubus Legion, etc., all belong to neutral spirits.

Evil spirits are completely chaotic and disorderly beings, and the host cannot directly control them.

Once released, it is a non-discriminate attack between friend and foe, and it is very easy to counter the host.

Generally, no one will take the initiative to communicate with evil spirits, basically they are unlucky, but it is not completely useless, release it to kill the enemy, and then quickly recover it.

In general, the stronger the obsession of the spirit, the stronger the strength it will exert itself.

Among the Imperial Spirits of the same level, the Evil Spirits and the Heroic Spirits are the ones that completely destroy the Neutral Spirits.

Heroic spirits, as the name suggests, refer to heroic spirits, with extremely strong concepts of good and evil and principles of doing things, and they will only help if the host's behavior is in line with their central "righteousness".

However, the Heroic Spirit is extremely powerful, and the strong who have possessed the Heroic Spirit since ancient times will inevitably leave a heavy mark in the history books.

If the host behaves beyond the limits of the Heroic Spirits, they will be heartbroken by the pain, and the spirits will dissipate themselves and will not turn against the host.

Despite being powerful, Heroic Spirits are not a good choice for most people, unless the host himself has heroic feelings.

Because of its "willful" side, it often fails to play its due role in a critical moment. Heroic spirits occupy a large amount of domain resources, but they cannot drive them as they please.

It's like playing two to one, holding a hand of Wang Bang and being suffocated, this kind of grievance can be imagined.

Finally, there are false gods.

False gods possess a complete sense of self and need common interests. As long as the interests are solid, the cooperation will be relatively harmonious.

For example, the pseudo-god of the Maris family, the red dragon "Red Fire".

Maybe it will be passed on to Lacey in the future, after all, the Maris family doesn't seem to be more powerful.

For some reason, the image of a huge red dragon spitting fire towards the Goblin Legion came to Chen Xing's mind, which was really an unpleasant association......

After reading the book for a while, when it was time to go to bed, Chen Xing and Margares said goodnight to each other and went back to their rooms to sleep.

In the next few days, Chen Xing commanded the goblins and termite worker ants to clean up the No. 65 underground survival shelter during the day, and instructed the little apprentices to study at night, and soon arrived on the day of the dance.

At night, the rooftop of the Wilderness Hotel is lit up.

The long table is filled with a variety of snacks, including almond cookies and cappuccinos made by Mrs. Ursula herself, as well as chicken nuggets and french fries from the kitchen, roast beef shank, fruit salad, and a variety of juices and drinks.

The main members of the town and the Hanged Skull Alliance were invited to attend, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic, with many people already dancing on the dance floor in the middle.

"It's still Lord Chen who will come to trouble." Mayor Ambisi said with a smile.

"Yes, I didn't expect to see such a decent court ball in my lifetime." Mayor Bert sighed.

The six women of Claire's and Ursula's families were all from the great aristocratic circles, and the arrangements for the balls were based on the standards of the court

。 Although the food provided and the venue are not comparable, the taste is out.

"Go dancing if you have nothing to do, don't stand on the sidelines and gossip, it looks very unseemly." Chen Xing said to the two mayors.

"Okay~" Mayor Ambisi smiled as he put down his glass and walked towards Mrs. Claire. Since the last incident, the two have become very familiar with each other. When I was working, I could always see them talking and laughing.

"Mayor Bert, don't you have someone to dance with?" Chen Xing urged.

"Hey, I'm old, half of my body is buried in the soil, what kind of dance are I dancing." Mayor Bert waved his hand, "Leave the opportunity to the young people." ”

Since the other party said so, Chen Xing was not easy to force, and it just so happened that he didn't want to dance, so the two of them had a companion.

"Master~" Margares suddenly rushed over and hugged Chen Xing's hand, wanting to pull him to dance, "Master, come on, come on~"

"I won't......" Chen Xing III is a human being, but he has never learned this. In the final analysis, I am still used to being poor, and I don't have time to engage in these "messy" things.

"Just jump." "How can you jump casually?" "Look over there."

Looking at Margaris's jade-like fingers, Xiao Yang was twisting his ass vigorously on the dance floor, his movements were unrestrained and riotous, and he was dancing happily with Guo Ying, the daughter of the black monster opposite.

Chen Xing was even more resistant when he saw it, no matter how he said it, he was also the head of a town, and it was a shame to twist his ass like this. However, if Xiao Yang can be with Guo Ying, it is better than that Qian Ying. And Xiao Yang's personality is also good, Guo Ying is with him, and the black old monster is relieved.

"Let's do ballroom dancing~"

"Just follow me, make sure it's okay."

Why does that sound so strange......

Finally, under Margaret's tugging, the two came to the dance floor.

"You like this, hold my waist."

Margaret grabbed Chen Xing's hands and put them on her lower back, and then she put her arms around Chen Xing's neck and moved slowly.

"That's it?"

"yes, that's it."

"It's too simple...... Chen Xing felt as if he had been deceived, this was clearly an ordinary hug plus two steps, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with dancing.

"Master, you are too outdated, this is a hug dance, the most fashionable in Ice Blue City at the moment."

"Is that so?" Chen Xing still didn't believe it.

"That's it~"

Chen Xing noticed that the roots of Margaris's ears seemed to be a little red.

"Are you lying to me? I'm going to ask Claire about them. Chen Xing threatened. The apprentice dared to lie to the master, which was simply a big rebellion.

"The country nobles of Farringdon, where do they understand the elegance of Ice Blue City." Margareth lifted her chin and said with a bit of pride. Women's friendship is so fragile, I remember yesterday she also praised the women of Claire's family for their beautiful dancing, and they knew that they had been rigorously trained.

However, for the nobles of Ice Blue City, there is indeed a tradition of "the countryside outside the imperial city".

"Hey, Master, look over there!" Margaret's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked behind him through his shoulder.

Hmph, little Nizi, if you want to divert attention, it's better to be a little tender!

Chen Xing was unmoved, stared at the other party's eyes, and reminded, "The topic just now is not finished yet." ”

"No, I mean really, you can see it at a glance." Margareth patted Chen Xing's shoulder excitedly.

Chen Xing was skeptical, and when he turned around, he saw Berttown taking Lady Ursula's hand and walking onto the dance floor.

Okay, you old thing, didn't you just say that you are half cut into the ground, and you want to leave the opportunity to young people? How do you turn around and forget? It's really disrespectful to the old, and it's a fart when you talk!

Under Chen Xing's gaze, the two not only danced, but also the most fashionable at the moment - let's just take it as real, the hug dance of Ice Blue City.

"Come on, come on, let's go." Chen Xing raised his eyebrows in the direction of the two, Margareth's expression was like a cunning rabbit, and she nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay~"

Then Chen Xing hugged Yingying and held her small waist, shook and swayed, and shook and shook to the side of Mayor Bert and Mrs. Ursula.

"Mayor Bert, good evening." Chen Xing greeted slowly.

"Yes, yes......" Mayor Bert looked at Lady Ursula intently, as if he had lost his soul, and said hello in a blank manner. The appearance of the soul flying for nine days is probably that Chen Xing asked him "Do you want to jump off the stairs", and he would also nod and say yes, yes.

On the other hand, Lady Ursula also looked at Mayor Bert's well-defined face, as if the whole world had lost its color, only that person, that face.

If you see your daughter and a man so intimate in normal times, even if you don't accuse it on the spot, you will give a warning look. Now I don't realize it, as if I don't see my daughter's small waist being held by a pair of men's arms, and the palms are naturally placed in the full curve.

"Was it love at first sight?" Chen Xing wondered.

Margareth lost her initial interest, biting her lip, not knowing what she was thinking.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xing said a prophecy and was right. A few days after the prom ended, news came that Kelly Ursula and Mayor Bert were engaged.

At this, Margarets was so angry that her little face turned pale. However, she still maintained the style of a lady in Ice Blue City, and did not make a big fuss directly, first borrowing the study from Chen Xing, and then the two mothers and daughters closed the door, and then there was a fierce quarrel.

Chen Xing thought about it a little deeply, and immediately understood Lady Ursula's intentions.

There may be reasons for love at first sight, but the main reason is to pave the way for her daughter.

Mayor Bert is not married, has no children under his knees, and after a hundred years, the territory of Roast Duck Town will be

However, it was inherited by the adopted daughter Margareth.

Margareth is now a quasi-guard, and she is not a step away from being a guard. According to the laws of the kingdom, as long as the heir meets the conditions, the territory is ironclad, and even the king cannot easily take it back, unless he is guilty of treason.

For thousands of years, no matter how big the crimes committed by the feudal states, only treason could recover the territories that were divided. Otherwise, once such a thing is done, the whole country will be in turmoil.

If you can take back Zhang San today, you can take back Li Si's tomorrow, and you can take back Wang Wu's the day after tomorrow. When all the lords are in danger, the throne should also be over, so even if it is treason, try not to take it back if you can, as a way to show the king's respect for the ownership of the territory.

And even if it is taken back, it will be divided into feuds, and it will be divided among the estranged and hated courtiers, so as not to suffer from the suspicion of greed.

As a result, his roast duck town was surnamed Chen.

Master, Master, a teacher for one day and a father for life, his little apprentice must be closer than Mayor Burt.

Just as he was thinking, the quarrel in the study stopped. Chen Xing thought that their mother and daughter had reached a consensus, but as soon as they turned their heads, the door of the study was vigorously pushed open with a "bang", hitting the wall, and the wall ash fell to the ground, and even the crystal lamp on the top was shaky, making people worry about whether it would fall. It is estimated that the other party still has the strength to spare, otherwise the door will be scrapped directly.

Then I saw Margaret running down angrily and demanding justice from Chen Xing.

"Master, can you help me tell me about that shameless old woman, she is getting old, and she still wants to fall in love, don't you think it's funny?" Margareth pointed to her mother, her tone aggressive.

"Well...... this" Chen Xing started Tai Chi, on the one hand, he agreed with this matter, and on the other hand, the little girl was angry and couldn't listen to anything.

Lady Ursula shook her head, walked over to Chen Xing, and sat down beside him.

"Margaret, your master is also here, he is not an outsider, and I am not afraid of losing face, so I will tell you what I think."

"You know......" Mrs. Ursula looked at her daughter with a sad face, "I was abandoned by Congressman Zolter......"

"For the sake of his glory and wealth, he will not hesitate to send me to hell."

"Not only that, but also my only daughter."

At this, Lady Ursula burst into tears. Margareth pursed her lips and did not speak.

"I thought I was desperate for men......" she said faintly, "either a woman's body, or money and ......power," she paused obviously, looked at Chen Xing, and emphatically said, "I'm not talking about you, Lord Chen, you are a noble person......"

Chen Xing nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Mayor Bert is a good man, an elegant gentleman, and he looks me in the eye and is always so gentle."

"But he's old enough to be my grandfather." Margareth spoke. Hit the nail on the head and show no mercy.

"You're not looking for a stepfather for your daughter, you're looking for a grandfather." She reminded.

"I know Mayor Bert is a little older......" Lady Ursula was a little nervous.

"It's not a little bigger!" Margareth corrected.

"Well, Mayor Bert is not young, but, Margareth, love knows no age." Lady Ursula's gaze became a little misty, "He is so gentle, and so elegant, I have never seen a man like this......"

"Is it better than Count Merlin Ursula?" Margareth spoke her father's name, and her gaze became cold as a knife, piercing Lady Ursula's heart.

Lady Ursula looked at Chen Xing in despair, her eyes surging with pleading, obviously wanting him to help speak.

"Ahem......" Chen Xing coughed lightly twice. This is if he doesn't make a sound, the cooked roast duck town is about to fly.

"Margaret, come over here." Chen Xing beckoned Margaris to sit beside her, then looked into her eyes and said earnestly, "Love, sometimes it is true that there is no age. ”

"It came very suddenly, and it always caught people ......off guard," Chen Xing said in a magnetic voice. He thought it would be more convincing.

Margareth's face flushed slightly, then spread to the base of her ears.

Chen Xing couldn't understand it, I'm reasoning with you, why are you blushing?

Maybe it's exciting......

Then Chen Xing said, "As for your father, I believe he must be Mrs. Kelly's favorite. ”

Chen Xing changed his name without leaving a trace. Ursula is the surname of her ex-husband, and the current situation naturally has to be removed. From now on, it's Lady Kelly, or Lady Bert.

"And you, Margareth Ursula, daughter of the noble count, are a witness to their love."

"The dead are gone, and the living will continue to live."

"Please don't forget, although she is your mother, she is also a woman, and there are times when she is sad and low."

"At this time, she needs a warm embrace, a hug that can make her feel at ease and can be relied on."

"Did you say?" Chen Xing asked.

Margareth's eyes were a little misty, and after a long moment, she nodded thoughtfully.

"So you agreed?" Chen Xing asked again.

Margareth nodded with a glazed gaze.

Chen Xing turned his head and gestured "ok" to Mrs. Ursula. The latter smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

And just like that, three days later Mayor Bert and Mrs. Kelly had a lavish wedding in Roast Duck Town.

Chen Xing called all the people who could be called, built more than a dozen floats, and threw colorful chips from the floating boat, which can be regarded as impressive.
