Alger's eyes widened, and he thought he had misheard: "What did you say?" ”

"I think this Mr. Frank's idea is very interesting." Richard pondered and replied, "Hybridization does increase crop yields, and my teacher said that if you plant hardy plants and drought-tolerant plants together and interpollinate them, you will have a chance of breeding crops that are both cold and drought tolerant after several generations." But can it be done between plants and animals? I didn't think about that...... I'll go back and talk to my teacher. ”

Alger was dizzy by a lot of technical terms in the Rune language, which was not his area of expertise at all, and quickly interrupted Richard: "Planting, farming, that's a farmer's business, it's really not good, it's also the business of Mother Earth God, it has nothing to do with you, aren't you engaged in charity?" ”

Richard replied to him earnestly: "Charity is not just about helping people live, it's more about telling them how to live." ”

"If you just give food and don't help, it's okay in the short term, but after a long time, it will hurt the other party. Start factories to recruit employees and teach children to read, write and sew, so that at least they don't starve to death. ”

"Increasing food production is also a good way to help people, and I really want to talk to that gentleman."

Captain Ghost frowned, not directly stopping her, but reminded her more tactfully: "...... Tomorrow, Mr. Ernst, will be a good day, if you want to go to sea as soon as possible, please have all the supplies ready today, we haven't discussed the route yet, these are the things that need to be solved urgently. ”

"You're right!"

"Don't be so polite."

"Well, thank you for your understanding, Mr. Wilson."

Alger suddenly felt that something was not right, only to see Richard looking at him with sincere eyes that he couldn't refuse, with her usual hearty smile. Richard took one of Alger's hands, placed the small notebook with the list of supplies in his hand, and then kindly closed his fingers for him.

These hands were hot and hot, and there was a force that could not be refused, and Alger did not break free, and his heart was suddenly shocked. As if he didn't feel the other party's temporary stiffness, Richard patted him on the shoulder very enthusiastically and familiarly: "I see, captain, I'll just say a few words to him, and then I'll be back." I believe in your vision, and I also believe in your good quality of honesty and trustworthiness, so the purchase of supplies will be left to you! ”

Alger's face changed, and he was a little unsure of what the client was thinking, which made him very uneasy. Before Richard turned around and went to where Frank was, he lowered his voice and spoke:

"He's Frank Lee, an extraordinary man of the Cultivator pathway. It is said to be a subordinate of the star general. The stars will tend to be neutral among the four kings and seven generals, but it is also not easy to mess with, you ...... Don't provoke him. ”

Finally, he asked, "Mr. Ernst, you don't seem to care about security, is this out of trust, or is it your own strength?" ”

"It's both." Richard turned his head, lowered his head slightly and whispered to Alger, "If you talk about strength, although I don't have an advantage in the sea, I can still see the sequence, but it is one sequence higher than you, so I still need your attention." ”

A sequence of 6 ...... Alger's eyes widened slightly, but in the blink of an eye, they were back to normal. Sequence 6 is no longer an enviable height for himself who has already digested the Sequence 7 potions, as long as the tarot will be able to find the formula, Sequence 6 is within reach. So he was stunned for a moment and adjusted. Nodding, he watched Richard leave, and then silently dismissed the idea of reducing supplies to fill his pockets.

Frank walked down the road with two sacks of soil, his straw hat and sleeves rolled up, covered in dirt, and he didn't look like a pirate, like an ordinary farmer.

He was thinking about why the calf didn't grow out of the soil, whether the soil was not nutritious enough, so he bought two kinds of soil this time and prepared to go back to do a comparative experiment. Frank slowly dragged the bag as he pondered the experimental data, when a hurried footstep quickly approached him, and at the same time, a large shadow appeared on the ground.

Frank wiped the sweat with the back of his hand, raised his head, and looked at the tall young man who came to him: "Hello? Is there something wrong? ”

"Hello, Mr. Frank!" The tall young man looked pleased, and leaned in despite the dirt stains on Frank's body, "I heard the idea of hybridization you discussed with the others, and I think your idea is perfect!" Can you tell me about it? My teacher also told me that 'hybridization' is a cultivation method in which two plants with different advantages are planted together, pollinated by staggering, and after several generations of artificial breeding, there is a high probability that plants with both advantages will be cultivated. ”

"Although I hear you say that it is a cross between animals and plants, it does sound unlikely...... But it proves that there is a lot of room for your research project, and maybe it can be done by means of 'genes'! Please don't give up, you're doing a great thing! ”

“——”

Frank froze, and the two sacks in his hand fell to the ground together.

Richard looked at him nervously.

"You, you-"

Frank was so excited that he grabbed Richard's hand and made him as dirty as himself. If it weren't for the other party's clothes that were much cleaner and neater than his own, it was estimated that he would have hugged them.

"You, thank you, you can understand, you can understand my thoughts!"

Frank's face was flushed with excitement, and he even stuttered a little: "Yes, yes, I made a similar point when I was in the Mother God Church, and when I was researching the literature, I found out that my ancestors had done relevant research, but when I wanted to do the experiment, the bishops stopped it...... Because they feel that there is no need, as long as they pray to the mother goddess and extraordinary abilities, they can increase food production several times, and there is no need to spend decades of manpower and material resources to do an experiment that I don't know if it will have results! ”

"Probably because you chose to cross animals and plants, it's really a bit too advanced......" Angel of Temperance rational analysis.

"Perhaps. Maybe. But it's certainly something worth studying, and if it can be done, people will be able to eat meat as cheap as food. ”

Frank was in high spirits: "If it weren't for the fact that our ship was temporarily suspended, I would really like to have a little more chat with a kind person like you, and now that I have to go, please tell me your contact information!" ”

Contact...... The unending burning fire, the protector of all who rebel against fate, the prisoner of chaos and death, the curse...... Richard subconsciously began to read his honorific name in his mind, and then quickly interrupted his train of thought, quickly took out Garland De's business card and handed it over: "What a coincidence, I will also go to sea soon, and I may not be back until a long time." This is my work address and I will be very happy if you would write to me. ”

"You're going to sea......"

Frank calmed down a little, made a gesture of holding the baby in his arms, and said with a reverent expression; "I don't know what your faith is, but may your merciful mother bless you with a safe return."

"Isn't it time to pray to the Lord of the Storm at sea?" Richard half-jokingly said, "Thank you, Mr. Frank." ”

Jowood district, 15 Minsk Street.

Returning home, Crane rested for a while and went to the Grey Mist, intending to tell about Will Onsetin.

He let the paper crane fly out of the clutter pile in the corner and land on the long bronze table in front of him, then removed the citrine pendant wrapped around the cuff. While holding the pendulum in his left hand, Crane meditated and recalled, recalling the scenes he had seen in the woods outside the cemetery.

There are some details that he may not have noticed, but his spirituality will certainly not be overlooked, and this divination is mainly to take advantage of this, and rely on the gray mist to eliminate interference.

After making preparations, Crane revealed a new parchment and wrote a "divination statement": "Will Onsetin is completely dead. ”

Then, he pressed the thousand paper cranes next to the divination sentences, so that the citrine pendant almost touched the words.

After entering a meditative state and completing all the steps of the "Spiritual Pendulum Method", Crane opened his eyes and looked at the result:

The citrine pendant is turning counterclockwise, the speed is quite fast, and the amplitude is not small. This means negative.

This means that Will Onsetin is not completely dead!

This...... Crane was stunned and thought it was expected. He thought about it for a moment and changed the divination sentence again:

"The body is Will Onsetin's."

This time, the pendulum gave a positive revelation.

That body did indeed belong to Will Onsetin!

Crane had a vague idea and wrote a new divination phrase again: "Will Unsetin's corpse will be resurrected." ”

After a calm busyness, Crane saw a revelation: it rotated counterclockwise, and it was extremely fast. This illustrates Will. Unsette's corpse will not be resurrected, that is, it will not be transformed!

It seems that Will Onsetin actively or passively abandoned his previous body and survived in another way...... This matter is related to the "snake of mercury"? Crane tried other things to divination, but failed to do so, including "Will Onsetin's current state".

However, he repeated the previous divination with the "dream divination" method, asking "Will. Nextin's current location", still obtained a similar picture: a dark room, the sound of running water.

But it seems to feel a little different.

Forget it, there's no need to waste time, I'm not going to mix it...... Crane put away his pendulum and prepared to return to the real world. Through the divination just now and all the things that happened before, he had a vague guess about Will Ansetin, but he couldn't confirm it.

Will Ensetten is another "mercury snake"!

As Sequence 1, the "Mercury Serpent" is not unique, and can have up to three "Snakes" at the same time!

The "Mercury Serpent" who is in charge of fate can naturally locate the location of the Allen Star spirit body through a thousand paper cranes, create false revelations to the other party, and undoubtedly have the ability to change someone's fate with one word. Will Unsetin has become weak for some reason, and combined with the scene in Allen's dream, he may be under the threat of a second "mercury snake", and everything he does is to get rid of the other party.

But there is no longer a silver-red-eyed giant snake in Allen's dream now, which can be understood as Will Ann Setin successfully escaped the pursuit of the other party, and took this opportunity to quickly abandon his body and transfer himself.

As for the reason for the conflict between them, the answer is simple:

When there is no sequence 0, there can be a three-digit sequence 1 at the same time, and once there is a sequence 0, there will be no sequence 1!

For this phrase, the recipe for the "Black Emperor" potion says what it really means.

One of the main ingredients of that recipe was the extraordinary properties of the two "Prince of the Order"!

"Prince of the Order" is exactly the sequence 1 of the "Black Emperor" path! As a Sequence 1, in order to advance to Sequence 0, you must have all the extraordinary traits of the other two Sequence 1s in the same path!

It was with such speculation that Crane became more and more afraid to mix in the matter of Will Onsetin.

If my inference is correct, it is a genuine "fairy fight", which cannot be provoked...... Crane fell spiritually and disappeared into the ancient palace above the gray mist.

"He's been summoned too many times by Fort Source."

Amon couldn't help but say, "After returning home from the cemetery where Will the Mercury Serpent was buried, he seemed to have gone to the Source Fort immediately. I confirmed it, because during that time his spirit was not in the physical realm, and he had no perception of the outside world. Then it came back a few minutes later, and it didn't make any difference except that the aura of the source fort was a little stronger, and the rich aura also dissipated in a very short time, unbelievable, unbelievable. ”

Edward looked ahead and said for a while, "How did he get to Fort Source?" ”

"I saw him take a strange step, then immediately sat down in his chair, and then the spirit vanished."

Amon hesitated, "My spiritual instinct says that this must be a mysterious ritual connected to the Source Castle, but I don't dare to confirm it. ”

"Give it a try and you'll find out."

Edward threw out a Sequence 7 doppelganger of Amon, and under the gaze of the stronger doppelganger and the outer god, the doppelganger forced a smile and followed the instructions, mimicking Clion's steps to take four steps backwards, but nothing happened. Under the scrutinizing gaze, he walked a few more times, and still nothing happened.

"It seems that some of the necessary steps are missing."

"But I can't get too close, or he'll find out."

Edward took back the low-order Amon clone and thought for a moment: "There's no reason for the owner of the Source Fort to be so open to Crane and respond frequently, and let him come up as a guest twice in three days. Speaking of that miraculous honorific name, is it possible that the "Fool" is Crane? ”

"......" Amon touched his eyes and smiled for a long time, "As Amun, a king of angels, I am reluctant to admit that I am not as good as a Sequence 7 soothsayer in terms of her sense of essentia. ”

"But as far as I'm concerned, I think it's possible."

"Then let's try to recite the name of the fool."

Edwards thought for a moment and said calmly, "Crane is a human being with the morals of the old era, in short, educated, with his own adherence and moral code, so it is easier to shake. When the time comes, I will find a few hundred random people to line up, and each of them will recite the name of the fool ten times. If you don't respond, then it's Tianzun above. Since he has morality, it is impossible to die and not save these people, unless he is not kind. ”

"If he is kind, but chooses not to respond for his own benefit...... Scold...... Then this matter will shake his principles by violating his own principles, and death and loss of control are inevitable things. ”

"That's a good idea." Amon exclaimed, "If it's me, maybe I can only think of deception and let him tell the truth." ”

"All kinds of schemes, attack the heart." Edward replied, "This is the devil's way of dealing with the world. What you have to learn is how to read words and looks. ”

Amon shrugged: "It's too hard for me. ”

"Human beings observe words and colors in order to obtain higher status or interests, and we have been the highest configuration from the beginning, even if we cooperate with the Blood Emperor, we are more cooperative than monarchs and ministers, and there is no room for observing words and colors."

"Still." "I found it an interesting experience," he said. ”

"If you want to understand human nature, you have to play human, right?"

"The flame that never stops

Protector of all who rebel against fate

Creator of the City of the Damned,

Prisoner of chaos and death.

- The Great Angel of Temperance,

Richard Ernst with us"

Everyone should be able to understand the deep meaning of this honorific name

The "torch" refers not only to the ideas and spirit of resistance spread by Richard, but also to the "passing on of the torch" of the old civilization.

The One Who Rebelled Against Fate - The first thing Richard rebelled against was his own fate, the fate of a colony child, the fate of a slave, the fate of a cultist...... He will not be a servant of God, he will not be a tool of the outer gods, but he will be the leader of men. Not only to rebel against their own lives, but also to enable all awakened people to rebel against the unjust world.

City of the Damned—This is what Sharon calls "the great blood debt in the Southern Continent", and Richard threatens the Northern Continent by making the blood debt of the officers in the colonies. "It's only when you make them scared that you finally have the qualifications to talk." It is also considered by the temperance faction to "destroy the harmony between the north and the south continent", "not thoughtful enough", and "without the assistance of the seven gods, we will not be able to confront Siea", which is another key point of the impeachment of the Angel of Temperance in addition to Renette's death.

Prisoner of chaos and death, Richard does not want to get involved in war, but the path she chooses is destined to face war on all sides.

This was her fate as a prisoner.
