Chapter 181: I Want a Living Dead
"That's right," Li Duojin nodded, "Although His Highness has gained a lot from this battle, the losses are not small. If you can replenish the team, you will be able to deal with dangers in the future. β
"It's not just the original troops. Ning Wanjun said with great interest, "Don't forget that Jinxia City is not a border, there are official roads and inland rivers here, and heavier weapons will not be a hindrance to the army." β
He Guicai suddenly said, "Are you planning to use the artillery captured from Dongsheng Kingdom?"
"Not bad. β
If Jin Xiacheng is Ning Wanjun's biggest gain politically, then the biggest military gain is undoubtedly the never-before-seen warship. Mo Yun had inspected the scene and found that it was extremely difficult to repair the hull, and the demon's long-range direct attack almost shattered half of the ship's side and caused water to enter the bottom. However, the artillery is basically intact, and after statistics, there are still as many as 64 guns that can still be used. Not only that, but they also found a large number of shells and gunpowder in the ship's hold, enough to arm a force.
The princess still thinks that artillery has all kinds of shortcomings, but if it is made by herself, it is completely different if it is captured - it takes more than a year to train soldiers, but this thing only needs to repeat a set of processes, which is very suitable for Jinxia City, which needs to race against time.
If you can quickly pull out an artillery unit, it will be a great addition to your strength.
At least defending the city won't be a problem for her.
"Understood, I'll work out the conscription plan as soon as possible. Staff Officer He patted his chest and said.
"Don't force others to enlist, as you did before. Ning Wanjun added, "The template is in the form of recruitment, and it is mainly voluntary." β
"Then again, where did that kid go?" Gonggong Li complained, "Now that Jinxia City is in ruins, and people need to be watched everywhere, it's good for him to leave all the things to His Highness to do, and he can't even see a human figure, so we haven't seen such a courtier." β
Ning Wanjun showed a relaxed smile, "This battle is only possible thanks to him, and it doesn't hurt to let him rest for a few more days." β
"Your Highness, you have indulged him too much. β
"Is there one?" she shrugged disapprehantly, "I think he's thinking about how to grow Jinxia City even in his spare time, right?"
"Are you sure?" said Gonggong Li half-incredulously.
"Well, because then he can take his ideas to a wider area. β
......
"Guest, the crystal pig's feet you ordered are here!"
"Oh!"
As soon as the shopkeeper put the dish on the table, a pair of small hands grabbed it and put it to his mouth and nibbled on it.
"What are you thinking now?" Fang Xiandao looked at Xia Fan across the table.
Xia Fan's gaze always stayed on Qianzhi, "I'm thinking...... How can I get her around. β
"No, this is my living dead!" Fang Xiandao hurriedly stretched out his hand to protect Qianzhi, "You asked me to come out to meet, is this the idea?"
"Not really. Xia Fan smiled, "I asked you to meet to formally thank you." This attack on Dongsheng Kingdom was thanks to Brother Fang's help. β
"Thank you and forgive. I told you, I didn't come to Jinxia for you. This is related to my personal breakthrough, and your performance can be regarded as solving the doubts in my heart. β
"You're not going to join my Privy Council...... No, should I call the Secretariat and work with me?"
"Yes, you don't need to be persuaded to do so. The person who calculates the fortune should not be too involved with the seeker in the first place. β
"So you're going to leave Jinxia next?"
"Who said I was leaving. Fang Xiandao frowned and said, "Previously, I just confirmed what the doubted thing was, and then I will continue to observe for a period of time in order to further verify my hexagram arithmetic method." β
"If you find it, you'll tell me?"
"Of course, otherwise how can we confirm each other. β
Xia Fan was shocked, isn't this the legendary light part-time job and no salary.
"Then ...... According to Brother Fang's wishes. He looked at the zombie girl who was eating happily again, "I don't know a thousand thingsβ"
"Qianzhi can't let you say anything!" Fang Xiandao hurriedly said, "Don't talk about an outsider, even within the Fang family, not everyone can have the living dead." β
"Are you sure she's the living dead and not some kind of demon?" Xia Fan said curiously, "As far as I know, natural spells are unique to demons. β
"Well, that's because you know too little. At least in Lingzhou, the living dead are born by people, and you don't think that demons are also born. β
Coincidentally, it's really! Xia Fan raised his eyebrows, "Can you elaborate on it?"
Fang Xiandao looked at him suspiciously for a while, "Okay, this is not a secret in Lingzhou, I'll tell you." The Fang family has a branch and has lived in dense mountains and forests for a long time, and its descendants will have the opportunity to give birth to the dead. The living dead are infertile, and they live a long life, all of which are contrary to demons. As far as I know...... Demons can produce offspring with people. β
"Since the living dead can't have children, isn't the number of people in the Fang family's branch getting smaller and smaller?"
"Like the main family, the family will regularly bring in people from outside. But you can't be wrong, after all, the number of people willing to live in the mountains and forests is decreasing every year. β
Xia Fan groaned, "Will the living dead only appear in that area?"
"Otherwise, this is something unique to the Fang family. β
Having said that, it seems that most of the monsters like "ghosts" were born in the area of Evil Horse Country, but not necessarily fox demons, is there some kind of connection between the differences? Unfortunately, there are too few samples at present, and Xia Fan can't draw a conclusion for a while.
I said...... Why are you so interested in the living dead?" Fang Xiandao asked with a puzzled expression, "Based on the magic strength you have shown, ordinary Fang Shi can't get close at all, right?" If you hadn't hidden it during the taxi exam, you would definitely be the first person to be in the first place this time." β
"Because people love each otherβhmm. Before the little girl finished speaking, she was pressed into the rice bowl by Fang Xiandao.
"Eat your stuff!"
"I think her icing technique is very interesting and maybe useful in many places. For example, make a bowl of shaved ice for Li and admire the way she wagged her tail, "Since you are reluctant to her, let her have time to come to my house to make some ice cubes, right? β
"Doesn't that work for you? Fang Xian said righteously.
"I can get paid. β
"Money? For the diviner, money is just something outside of the body. β
"It's magical knowledge. Xia Fan paused, "Don't you want to know what kind of magic I used that day?"
Fang Xiandao was shocked, "You-what did you say?, are you willing to tell me about this incredible technique?"
"I don't care, it's just that it's complicated and requires a lot of knowledge, if you're okayβ"
"Deal!" he replied without hesitation.
What are you kidding, the magic technique that can drive the bronze bell and destroy the demon with one blow across half of the yard will be extremely curious to any person who feels the qi. The reason why he endured not asking was that he didn't want to be bored - if he used this technique in exchange for money, I am afraid that only the Gyeonggi Privy Council could afford it.
"That's very good. Xia Fan smiled in his heart, originally if the other party was willing to join the bureau, he would be able to learn the relevant content of electromagnetism without spending any cost. What's more, as soon as the school opens, the courses of arithmetic and science will begin to be popularized to all school-age children.
"Found it, Lord Xia is here!" Suddenly, Shan Hui's figure appeared on the second floor of Wanfu Building, and he was still holding a piece of clothes that he had changed yesterday.
Then Li Ye, who was wearing a hat, also climbed to the second floor and walked quickly to Xia Fan's side.
"Did something happen?" Xia Fan looked at the fox demon in surprise.
Li leaned over and whispered, "Someone reported to the Privy Council that they had caught a living demon!"
