Sit down in the corner of the cell and carefully place the food for the next few days in the corner.

It was as if I could see some silk threads trembling around me.

There is no need for complicated rituals and traditions, just a web of what the heart wants.

After concentrating, the index finger of the right hand glows.

"Do you know magic?"

The other three female thieves, who were extremely bored, all looked at her with adoring eyes.

"He is worthy of being a master who is wanted on the entire continent. ”

At some point, he was defined as "a widely wanted thief from the mainland".

"But our PhasePort Thieves' Guild isn't bad. There are a few thieves in our guild who have badges. ”

"It's just that he claims to have a badge and can do magic, who knows if it's real or fake. Can you borrow their badges to see?"

Is this magic? It's just something that anyone can see.

"It's not that hard. Anyone can learn magic if they put their mind to it......"

Codenamed "Mink", the petite female thief sneered.

"But we don't even know a word. Can you learn magic without knowing words?"

"Not necessarily. I know in ...... At...... At...... In short, there are people who can use magic even if they can't read. As long as you master the method and have a strong will, you can see the power of magic even if you are illiterate. ”

Codenamed "Silver Plate" is a somewhat reserved yellow-skinned woman who also has no good impression of magic.

"That being said, even if you know magic, you can't get out of it. This cell is also full of magic, and you don't have anything to do with it. ”

Out of nowhere, a competitive spirit emerged, and he shook his head decisively.

"Well...... Not necessarily. ”

The weaknesses of the magic on the wall can be seen through simple intuition, almost as clear as its builder.

"For example, it was probably a device used to throw prisoners...... It's just a wall. ”

Meditate in your mind about the collapse of the wall in front of you.

"Because faith is power," comes to mind, "then change reality." ”

This sentence seems to come out of the depths of the soul.

As long as that's the case—

He put his hand on the wall and whispered "Let's turn it on" in his mind.

Something jaw-dropping happened.

The entire wall parted in front of the palm of the hand.

All of them bounced off the ground and looked at the scene in disbelief.

The sun is setting outside, you can see the sea, and you can see the beach not far from the fence in front of you.

"Prepare to run, guys!

"Emerald Ring" shouted.

In front of a few people, the broken wall was slowly repairing itself.

In the darkness, there seemed to be eyes looking at them.

"I'm afraid this place can't be used anymore......"

They let out a short scream, stumbled out, and even their shoes ran away.

One last glance back.

Remaining deep in the retina is the posture of the lighthouse standing upright in the setting sun.

（V）

In the early morning of October 20, 1666

Phase Port extra-large supply ship "Western Ocean".

One warship after another followed the pilot ship into the port area.

The port of Phase Harbor can berth hundreds of ships, and the dock can load and unload dozens of ships at the same time, but it still has to do everything in its power to accommodate such a large force as the Seventh Fleet.

Although it was past midnight, the entire dock was brightly lit. Countless family flags fluttered in the night wind, and small boats transporting dignitaries sped through the harbor area, deftly cutting through the cracks of the big ships.

On several occasions, Major Namen Soleton felt that he would be caught in a water collision. He secretly prepared an underwater breathing spell in his left hand and prayed that the subtropical waters of late autumn would not be too cold.

But nothing happened. The boat's oarsman slowly stopped and slapped the side of the target vessel with the oars in his hand.

"The winch is full!

The sailors on the deck shouted. There were winches on this boat that could pull the dinghy up, but at the moment all the winches were occupied, and seven or eight more dinghys were coming here.

"A huge ship like a mountain indeed. ”

The Major looked up and sighed, looking at the four-deck oversized heavy artillery supply ship in front of him.

The flagship of the Seventh Fleet is the Freedom-class battleship named "Breaking the Waves", which has three decks and 100 guns and magic cannons, but the "Western Ocean" in front of it is nearly twice as large.

The huge hull made by using oriental technology in Lingyangmen and the multiple longitudinal sail system that the Interlay people are good at combine to form this behemoth. Moored in a calm harbor, the hull barely shakes.

"This way the guests won't get seasick, and it's a great place for a banquet. ”

Naimon climbed up the rope ladder, two of his guards close behind.

The sound of music coming from the porthole rushed into my ears. All four artillery decks were set aside for banquets, and each floor was equipped with musicians to set the mood. With Naimen's almost non-existent musical literacy, he could barely hear the jade qin of the Eastern Empire, the ticking flute of the Taiping Sect, the comen-style purring violin and wind music, and the elven babbling soprano. The music came out through the portholes, and it had a strange flavor mixed together.

"It can't be just prepared. Probably as early as the arrival of the advance fleet in the morning, all this was already in place. Worthy of the Seventh Fleet. ”

Naimon stepped onto the deck in admiration. The air was filled with the smell of spices, so strong that you could smell it even from the porthole, making it even more evident that the host of the banquet was rich and wealthy. The two sailors who had thrown down the rope ladder had been waiting there for a long time and saluted him.

"Major Namen Soleton of the Independent Gendarme. ”

In fact, he didn't need to introduce himself at all. Even if some people don't recognize the red military uniform with only one sleeve, those two medals of excellence are enough to identify him. Heroes of Jena and Renny, rising stars of the Free Army, representatives of the new regime in the Republic of Interres.

"Welcome, Your Excellency the Overseer. The Fleet Commander is already at the banquet venue, and I'm sorry he can't come to greet you in person. ”

Naimon waved his hand casually: "Got it, I'll go down by myself." There are still a lot of boats lined up in the back, so I won't delay your time......"

Suddenly, someone suddenly opened his mouth and stopped him from behind, and he used the wrong military title.

"Captain, is it Captain Namen?"

Naimon's footsteps slammed. It's not the first time this kind of familiar feeling, the feeling of being full of energy and punching—

"Is it ......?"

A flying pounce slammed into his flank. The appearance of Méti Krosso is always so immediate.

"Sure enough, it's you!Aha, you've also been transferred to Interres?

She might be the only one on the boat who doesn't know about her new position, Namen thought.

The two guards gendarmes beside him were caught off guard and pressed their hands on their swords, but they didn't know what to do. The "attacker" is a petite girl who doesn't pose much of a threat...... One of the men was from "Strong Operations", who recognized the identity of the attacker.

"Uh, is that the young lady in charge of air defense?"

"That's right, it's her. Naimon smiled bitterly, "You guys go down and eat first, I'll be there later." Now that you are on the territory of the Seventh Fleet, you don't need an escort. ”

The two guards were a little hesitant: "Sir, this ......"

"Go ahead, it's an order. Naimon waved impatiently the hand that wasn't caught in Meti's hand.

The two guards glanced at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and whispered a whisper as they hurried into the cabin.

Naimon dragged Mety to the side of the boat and began to deal with the difficult little devil.

"I have been appointed Major of the Army in Phase Harbor, Commander of the Intertray. ”

"Major. Méty let go of her hand and began to count her ranks, "You don't seem to be that high, is it okay to come to this kind of occasion?" I saw a lot of rear admirals and vice admirals and a few admirals down there. ”

Naimon had to explain again: "Well...... Of all the official army units of the Interre Republic, with the exception of the Second Free Division, I am the highest. And the 2nd Division and the entire Interre army headquarters were in Fort Forti. ”

Metie's chin twitched, "In other words, you're a big guy now, and you still don't look like it." ”

"Let's sort of it, miss. Are you here to play?"

"Stupid. Do you see that there is an organ here?" Méty scoffed disdainfully, "A little common sense, isn't it! I'm here as a social representative of the Croso family, not here to play!"

I really don't want to be said like this by you, the eldest lady. Naimon sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Krosso's house?" Naimon smiled, he had done some homework on the ship in the past few weeks, "It's not been a day or two since the Krosso brothers' bank was tight, and Lenny couldn't even discount it in the days since he fell...... If your father or your uncle comes, it might be better. ”

"We have a lighthouse in the Krosso family, too!" Méty looked away a little distractedly, "though it's not in the family name now...... When Lenny withdrew, the family's business had suffered a bit of a loss. ”

Naimon sighed: "Your family dares to throw all the business of the phase port to you like this? ”

"I'm already a good lady, okay?" said Métie, picking up the long hem of her evening gown, and turning it deftly, "I should be more comfortable with social situations than you." ”

The boobs are indeed a little larger than the last time I saw them, and the height seems to have grown a little taller...... But that's just a little bit, Naimon thought.

"A good female companion would not be so boastful. He laughs.

"Do you already have a female companion?" Metie asked, "Well, is it Anne?

Naimon's face suddenly became gloomy, and the corners of his eyes narrowed visibly. He subconsciously touched the necklace he was wearing on his chest, and the sapphire that contained all the meaning of his existence was still there.

Meti should not know the situation, he said to himself. Fortunately, it was outside the cabin at night, and the expression on his face should not be startling.

She ...... There are other appointments. ”

Naimon paused, grabbed the subtext of Méti's words, and changed the subject stiffly.

"In this way, there is still a guardian who is in charge of the business of Phase Port. Is it your father or your uncle?"

Hearing the summary of Naimon's straight to the point, Méty squeezed a "hum" out of her nose fiercely, turned around and ran away. Naimon shook his head, and was about to catch up when another female voice stopped him coldly from behind him.

"If you're looking for her guardian, it's me. It's been a few months since I learned to bully my family's Metty, huh?"

The sound of this interjection was a little unfamiliar to Naimon. It wasn't until he saw the long blond hair that reached his waist that he remembered who the owner of the voice was.

"Lady Resa, long time no see. ”

Resa Helmont was dressed in a golden dress, and she still looked very dazzling in the dim lighting. The iconic giant battle golem didn't follow her, and Naimon realized how tall she really was: the female alchemist in front of him was half a head taller than him, and if she stood among the ladies and ladies, she was as conspicuous as an ogre standing among a group of goblins.

Combining the information of the twenty-seven wealthy merchants collected before with the tall and beautiful figure in front of him, the young officer suddenly realized something. Pure Gold Integrated Trading ...... No way. The one that opened next door to Mr. Zalte's small clothing store was ......

Naimon asked tentatively, "Since you are here, the pure gold comprehensive trade must be ......."

The alchemist nodded, "That's right. Integrated Trading, Magic Industries, Shipping, Insurance Companies...... And banks. ”

Everyone Naimon asked said that the pure gold firm was a miracle. At the height of the Fifth Freedom War, the company built the twenty-seventh lighthouse in Phase Harbor, the latest to be expanded in fifteen years, declaring the status of the upstart in the Interres Nations.

"Your lingerie store has really become a big deal. ”

"I'm Ressa Helmont, the best alchemist in Phase Harbor, and making money is like digging into your pocket. Lesa boasted proudly, "However, the young boy of the past has also become a well-known big man in the free countries." ”

"What a big shot. As long as I think about the task I want to complete, the cold sweat on my back can be poured out at any time. Can someone like me really shoulder such a big responsibility?"

"It's not what you said to my Meti. Resa chuckled, "Don't say that, Soleton. Just as the gods want me to be the best alchemist in the world, the task you accept is what the gods expect from you. ”

Not far away, there was the sound of a lifeboat crashing against the side of the ship, and another dinghy approached the giant ship. Taking advantage of the collision, Lesa lowered her voice to prevent Metie and the sailors around her from hearing it.

"Bonnie Seffel can't be separated from Fathes, but she has already contacted me. I will cooperate with you. ”

Naimon's pupils dilated suddenly. He should have thought of it a long time ago: the person responsible for protecting Anne's spare body was, of course, the Pure Gold Consortium. He grabbed Lesa by the wrist and nervously asked, "When can we go?"

"Don't be in such a hurry, that place is foolproof, Anne's own lighthouse defense, only she herself can pass through, not even I can reach the depths of that building. Since you brought it, then we can go in......"

"I'm going too. Naimon clutched the necklace on his chest tightly and said categorically, "She entrusted it to me with her own hands, and I will do it myself." ”

Not far away, the new arrivals were announcing their identities to the sailors.

"Vice Admiral Leonard Kekawi, commander of the Narrow Sea Squadron. "Please go this way, sir. ”

Hearing these conversations, Lesa sped up her words: "That's all for now. After landing, we will discuss the next step when we go to 'Pure Gold', and now there is not enough time. ”

Naimon nodded, and when he turned to leave, he almost bumped into the newcomer who had just stepped onto the deck.

"Your Excellency, the Overseer. Well, and Ms. Helmont, long time no see. ”

Leonard Kekawi, the half-elf, bowed slightly. He wore a full vice admiral's gown and an ornately decorated spike sword at his waist, which looked heroic in the light of the magic crystal lamp.

"You're welcome, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General. We have had a very good business cooperation before, and we hope that you will be able to work together equally happily after your transfer to Phase Port. Raisa's choice of words suddenly became elegant.

The half-elf looked around and was a little confused to see only Naimon, Lesa and Metti, who was pouting not far away looking at the sea view.

"You've been here for a long time, so why don't you go in. Hasn't the banquet officially started yet?"

Lesa explained, "The banquet has already begun, but the atmosphere is slightly stiffer. It was the first time since the ceasefire that the bigwigs of the port of phase had gathered like this, and there was a lot of trouble. I don't and don't want to be on this occasion, so I just come out and breathe. ”

Naimon interjected with a wry smile: "Can you run a huge consortium like this?"

"I don't have to run it myself. Ressa shrugged, "Behind us is the archbishop of the Protestant orders, just fight for power and let the managers below do it." Is there anything that needs the 'Alchemist of Pure Gold' to step in personally?"

"Yes. Leonard Kakawi said with a serious face, "For example, tell the two people who have just arrived in Phase Port about the customs and customs here, and by the way, introduce the characters who are popular in the social circle and make our Lady Resa unhappy." ”

Resa smiled and naturally grabbed Leonard's arm: "Well, you did propose a mission that required the 'Alchemist of Pure Gold' to come out in person. Let's go. ”

Naimon was dumbfounded, deeply aware of his lack of experience. He now understands why he "bumped into" Lesa and Méty on deck.

He sighed and walked after the two of them to the cabin.

Within two steps, Méty caught up with him and grabbed his left arm, not allowing him to refuse.

Naimon walked down the stairs, but the surroundings were not as noisy and stuffy as he had imagined. The sea breeze blew in through the portholes of the gun doors, and there was still a faint smell of sulfur.

The large main gun deck was cleared out and used as the main venue for the banquet. The furnishings in the venue are slightly strange, like a combination of Eastern and Western styles.

Guests sat at round tables instead of square tables, but food and wine were placed on square tables on either side of the room for guests to take their own to. In the middle of the round table crossed several open spaces, and a small band was playing at the end of the artillery deck, with both Eastern and Western instruments. The conductor did his best to communicate with musicians and singers from all over the world, pausing from time to time to discuss the technical aspects of the chords between the different instruments.

In fact, most people aren't listening to music or sitting down to eat. They all had female companions, carrying fine wines from different countries, and they were constantly moving around the room and talking to each other. Local dignitaries invited from Phase Port brought their wives, sisters, or daughters, and the Eastern Admirals of the Seventh Fleet also brought their families, and some even brought more than one with them, as was customary in the Eastern Empire. Naimon quickly glanced around the field, but did not find Wei Taiping's figure.

"Commander of the Narrow Sea Squadron, Leonard Kakawi and Miss Lesa Helmont......, have arrived!

Seeing that the greeter at the door wanted to announce his name, Naimon hurriedly waved his hand to stop him.

"Soleton, are you going to wait and see what is going on? ”

Letting go of Leonard's arm, Resa picked up a glass of pure gold Jurok noble rot from the table next to her, and the half-elf asked for a blended whiskey.

"The twenty-seven families of Phase Port are a general term, but in fact many of them are not families, and some of the founders of the lighthouses have fallen and become funded and managed by some guilds or councils. It is true that a few of them are noble families who date back to the independence period, but most of them are upstart people like us. Most people are still willing to recognize the authority of the central government, and they have sent responsible people in power to take a stand. ”

The rum that Nemen was carrying was snatched from Métie, and he forced the Bishoujo to change it for a glass of cold milk. Listening to Lesa introduce the chaebol families one by one, he secretly wrote down the aspects of each family's wealth and its competitive advantages.

"Double Medal of Excellence and One-Sleeved Military Uniform...... That's Naimon Soleton, Lenny's number one decorated man?"

"I heard that he has the magic power to overwhelm the emperor and the grand duke, and he also beheaded the military minister of the empire......"

Some recognized him and whispered legends about him, but were afraid of his reputation and did not dare to speak to him. Naimon tried to put on a smile, but he didn't plan to take the initiative to go up and talk. There were also many admirals in the field, and they were obviously more interested in talking to the various wealthy merchants—after all, the Seventh Fleet itself was the largest merchant on this golden route.

However, the number of generals was smaller than Naimon had originally anticipated. Probably because the dinner had not officially begun, Naimon not only did not see Admiral Wei Taiping, nor did he see several commanders of the main detachment, and most of the people who talked to the guests in the venue were some admirals in charge of rearguard, tactics and logistics.

After skipping the Admiral, Rysa began to introduce the magicians.

"The magical world of Phase Harbor is also very complex. You know that the city is divided into two parts: the West Port, which was founded by us Komans, and the Eastern State City, which was founded by the Daomen. Although the main port is on the west side, there is also a smaller port in the east. Thankfully, we have a better reputation than the notorious elven privateers, and more reliable than the illusory Empire, which keeps the port safe......"

"It is an open secret that the main source of income for the offshore fleet is indeed privateering. Leonard Kekawi smiled wryly, "Of course, now I'm on the side of anti-privateering. ”

As they chatted, Naimon noticed a group of people in the corner. He frowned slightly, and cautiously walked briskly in that direction with his wine.

In the crowd that dominated several round tables with serious expressions and sitting postures, he seemed to see a familiar figure.

"Those tables are the bishop of the Intertre Concord and the lady of the Intertre Contemplative Council......"

Lesa hurried after him, whispering in his ear.

Like all Protestant congregations, the two dignitaries wore plain white robes with only a simple silver insignia. Of course, whether it is the fabric, the craftsmanship of the sewing or the degree of close-fitting is very impressive, it will never be a bargain.

"And the first bishop of the East of the Elven Church......"

The grim-looking elf wore a green robe with four gold trims, adorned with jewels that shone with holy light. It is difficult to tell the age of the elf from his appearance, and it can only be guessed by his expression. The First Archbishop's marble-like expression was more serious than that of a plaster cast.

However, the three big men all stood and confronted several male and female priests in Orthodox clothes with serious expressions.

"As for those who are standing...... It's ......"

Lesa was speechless for a moment, unable to make out the color of the person standing. However, Naimon answered the question with a serious expression and whispered to himself.

"Aren't those Imperial nuns? But the men among them...... When did they have men? And that nun, no matter how you look at it, ...... It's all ......."

A name that must not be uttered here. In fact, even if he did, few people would believe him—because few people in the entire South had ever seen this man.

But here are two.

Méti Krosso was also stunned, and cautiously walked up to him and whispered, "That person looks a bit like Olya......"

"Shhhh Naimon stared at the dark-haired nun's lips, "I guess you're right. ”

But what made him feel even more dangerous was the man standing in front of Olya. It was a sturdy, handsome, silver-haired senior priest, who looked elegant, but there was an indescribable sense of danger in his smile.

"The contemptible is Cardinal Ionette Hartmann, Apostolic Emissary Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Archdiocese of the Grand Duchy of Intre. I bring to His Majesty the Apostolic Greetings to the Entente Church of Interreces and the Apostolic League of the Sun. ”

The silver-haired man who called himself an apostolic envoy placed the letter in his hand on the table.

"Apostolic Counsellor of the Archdiocese of the Principality of the Principality of the Principality of Intrey, Reeve Nhamlock, Bishop of the Diocese of Phaseport. ”

This is the first time in 100 years that an orthodox clergyman at the level of a cardinal has held this position. Whether it was the first bishop of the East of the Elven Church or the two dignitaries of the new church, they all looked very troubled.

The lady of the provincial council picked up the greeting letter and scanned it hastily with a frown. There was suspicion and distrust in her tone.

"The Northern Church has not appointed an apostolic legate for many years...... And, a female bishop?"

"If you doubt it, this is my priesthood commission for Sister Namlock and I. The number of Orthodox Christians around the Narrow Sea is on the rise, and we cannot isolate them from the Apostolic Gospel. ”

Ionette Hartmann pulled out two more documents that shimmered with divine light, "The reason why we want to rebuild the archdiocese of the Grand Duchy of Interres is also to show you that the Orthodox and Ecumenical Churches are very different from a hundred years ago. ”

"The so-called reform of the old Church? I would be interested in hearing what the apostolic papal envoys are plotting. The Bishop of the Concorde snorted coldly, and returned to his place and sat down with his legs crossed.

The elf finally spoke, but it was to help Ionette: "If it's just an apostolic envoy, you are not qualified to refuse. You don't have the same missionaries in the north......"

Taking advantage of the fact that several clergy were caught up in doctrinal arguments, Naimon and Méty glanced at each other and reached a tacit understanding.

The two of them quickly retreated to the other side of the deck before Princess Olya Hugh Cockman, who went by the alias "Reeve Numlock", even if she hadn't noticed her.

Méty nervously asked, "Do you think she saw it?"

"I seem to see it, but I don't seem to have ......"

Naimon scratched his head and glanced in the direction of the religious person, who happened to meet Olya's gaze.

Olya Hugh Coman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, turned her head and said something to the others. Her smile sent a chill down the sleeve in Naimon's heart.

"I want to ...... I guess I found out. ”

Naimon pulled Metie and immediately found a table to sit down, panting incessantly.

He drank the wine in his hand, trying to ease his tension.

Méti kept tugging on his sleeve: "So, Soleton...... We sat down at the Daomin's table. ”

"Daomin?"

Méti explained quickly in a low voice, "The Murraymans, also known as the Peacekeepers. They call themselves 'Taoists' or 'Enlightened Ones'. ”

It was only then that Naimon noticed that the guests at the nearby tables were different from the rest of the world. These people sit in a mix of men and women, but they don't look much like couples or couples. There are yellow-skinned Orientals and white-skinned Westerners. They all sat solemnly around the empty round table, not chatting or drinking.

All of them wore uniform yellow turbans and large, comfortable robes with wonderful lines drawn on the corners of the robes.

The people sitting on the right side are also white and yellow, dressed similarly to the people on the left, but with subtle differences.

Some of the men wore nothing at all, while others wore yellow turbans in a different style than those on the left, while most of the women wore yellow ribbons to tie their hair.

At the same table where Naimon was sitting, a young beauty with a yellow ribbon tied in a single ponytail stared at him all the time.

Her dress was completely oriental, but she had white skin and unforgettable honey-colored hair, which was completely different from the light yellow skin and long black hair of ordinary Oriental girls, and was clearly mixed with the blood of the Coman people.

Like most mixed-race children, she has the delicate skin of an Oriental, the proud figure of a Corman, and an admirable combination of beauty.

Naimon wiped his sweat and asked, "Excuse me, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

"Nope. "Since this guest has already begun to eat and drink, we don't have to wait any longer for our master." Let's eat, ladies and gentlemen, it is rude to let the guests eat and drink alone. ”

"Yes, Qu Shuai. ”

The people around him replied at the same time, and the neatness of the voice surprised Naimon slightly. These people move in as neat as an elite troop. Naimon didn't know how many companies in his gendarmerie could do that.

But instead of eating at once, they switched to an oriental language and began to recite a magical incantation.

"The Tao is very good, the name is very good, the name is famous, the name is not very famous. The Tao becomes all things, the three purifications of Qihua, the unity of heaven and man, and the ...... of the three together"

"They are to pray before eating. Meti hurriedly explained.

"Pray...... Is it a creed?" Naimon frowned.

Protestantism didn't use the creed much anymore, but he still knew the practice of spreading orthodoxy in short, summary texts.

As early as the end of the Elven Empire, orthodox sects compiled their beliefs into concise "creeds" for believers to disseminate. In the period of the split between Orthodox and Protestantism, the two sides once again turned out the creed as an important weapon to distinguish between friend and foe.

It's just that the "covenant" and "covenant" have their own creeds, and the priests of the gods also have their own sets, and the elves' sun god creed contains things like "three grids", "six transformations", and "twelve shapes", and the average person can't even finish reciting them. The people in front of him didn't look like clerics, but they memorized the creed so skillfully, which surprised Naimon a little.

Mety shook her head, "I don't know. I don't know Taiping, and I don't know Oriental Mandarin......"

Suddenly, all the people at the Naimon table stopped, while the people at the other table were still reading.

The timing of the pause was still so uniform, it was as if they were waiting for another table to finish.

“...... The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky!"

Naimon had already guessed what was going to happen.

Sure enough, just when the aftermath of the word "Daji" had not yet dissipated, the people at the two tables where Naimon was located spoke at the same time.

“...... Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for all people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!"

The history of the Orient that Clad López had previously told him in his free time came to Namen's mind.

“...... The sects of Taoism are very complex, but they can basically be divided by formative period and region. Those who remained in the Eastern Empire and advocated compromise with the secular emperors were the 'Shangqing' and 'Zhengyi', while the radicals who advocated the supremacy of heaven over the Son of Heaven were collectively known as the Taiping Dao. Among them, the factions that rebelled during the Elven Empire were called the 'Taiping Sect', and the factions that rebelled during the Second Dynasty of the Koman Dynasty were called the 'Hengqu Sect'. Because the teachings of Taiping and Hengqu place great emphasis on the word Taiping, outsiders usually refer to them as 'Taiping Sect', but in fact, one of these two sects is pure Taoism, and the other advocates the unity ......of Confucianism and Taoism, which is really incompatible."

Just as he looked down to recall, the female leader of the table spoke to him.

"Although we are both invited guests, since Your Excellency and your female companion are sitting with us, it is the fate arranged for us by the Great Dao. The half-breed girl laughed, "We can probably guess it, but can you ask the guest your name?"

"Naimon. Major of the Free Army of Namen Soleton. Namen's eyebrows were almost twisted, and he struggled to recall his third-rate knowledge of Oriental ordinary language, "Can you ask Miss your maiden name?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the surrounding Daoists suddenly changed.

"The Pathless, is the name of the girl also you can ask?"

The mixed-race beauty giggled twice: "It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty." It stands to reason that the names of the women of the East cannot tell you the 'unenlightened', but since it is the envoy of the Overseer of Intre and the heroes of Jena and Lenny who ask me, it may be contrary to the right path if I do not answer. ”

Naimon's face turned red: "I'm sorry...... I—I don't know much about your customs. ”

"Zhang Shiyi. The time of time, the wings of the wings. ”

The half-breed girl uttered a heroic name.

Naimon was silent for a moment, searching through his memory for the origin of these two words.

But I really can't remember.

He lowered his head, his elbows propped up on the table, and secretly grasped Annie's memory bank, looking up after a moment.

"In the time to protect it, the wings of the son are also. Born from 'Nail'. Are you a direct descendant of the Hengqu Ancestors?"

This time, I was surprised and replaced by the mixed-race girl Zhang Shiyi.

"Your Excellency has read our classics, and the rumor says that you are a personal disciple of Luo Taiwei, it seems to be true......"

At this moment, another voice sounded behind Naimon.

"A few fellow Daoists, I see that there is still a vacant seat here, I wonder if I can accept an Orthodox Christian?"

Naimon's face turned pale and pale. He could hear it right away—

That was the voice of the Empire's First Princess, Olya Hugh Kirman!

Cold sweat began to run down his forehead.

There's really no way to get out this time. I can't think of anything unless something immediately draws everyone's attention away......

Through the porthole of the cannon facing him, a sea of fire greeted him.

Namen Soleton blinked.

It was indeed a sea of fire. The entire docks of Westport were burning.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of artillery fire. On the dock in the distance, there seemed to be a lot of people running.
