Chapter 14: Xia Xiu's Capsule Collection

Xia Xiu's gaze was locked on the newspaper in his hand, and as he read every word, his eyes revealed a different kind of luster.

"The Mandate of Heaven is manifest, the Edison government exercises the right to freedom, and the destiny of Heaven is a moral concept, which is enough to overshadow all concerns, including international law and international agreements."

Xia Xiu repeated this passage from the newspaper in a low voice.

"It's funny, it's a slogan, but it shouldn't be the government......" he closed the paper, a hint of banter in his tone.

At the same time, his golden eyes also exuded a wariness of the possible consequences behind such a bold declaration.

Every word and action of any government is not arbitrary, especially when it comes to international relations and the political map.

By putting forward such slogans so blatantly, the Addison government is undoubtedly demonstrating its position and determination to the outside world, while at the same time challenging the existing international order.

"Extending the realm of freedomβ€”this is now the basic idea of Addison's government's destiny." Pansy Jane added, "Now it may become the policy of the Addison Federation." ”

"This is a miracle declaration." Xia Xiu directly pointed out the true significance of this report.

"A miracle declaration?" A hint of surprise flashed on the intelligence chief's indifferent expression, "Who would allow this miracle to happen, this is-[Destiny of Heaven]." ”

"It's just a matter of occupying a single position, and if you want to give birth to this miracle, then the entire Terra regime can't have a hundred surnames, it can only be an autocracy."

The blonde young man's sitting posture on the black leather chair was a little straighter, "It's not that no one has mentioned it in the past, but now among the countries of Terra, which country and nation are not from the heart and soul that boast that their country is a country with a destiny determined by heaven?" ”

"Is there anything we need to do?" Pansy Jane asked quickly.

"You don't have to do anything, this miracle announcement is not just bragging about it, they want to take the place first.

Oretin in the Far East and Daevite in the North are even more arrogant than the Addison Confederacy.

This [Manifest Destiny] is a vision to the kings of these two empires, if the Federation wants this miracle, first cut off the heads of the emperors of the Far East and the North. Xia Xiu replied.

"They probably really have the heart." The Chief of Intelligence said.

"Then it depends on their strength."

Xia Xiu picked up again, and then he began to pay attention to another important piece of information on the document.

"Regarding this information, I am more concerned about the mooring of the Deer Courtyard and the Eddison Federation's territorial purchase of Three Portlands."

"Do you think Three Portlands and Deer Yard will agree?" The chief of intelligence took over the conversation smoothly.

"With the mayor-council model of Three Portlands, there would be a good chance of a pass."

Xia Xiu recalled the content of the political class he took when he was studying abroad in Three Portlands.

"The main occult academy in Sanbo City is the local Deer Academy. Deer House will not interfere with the vote in the Legislature, so the probability of three Portlands being incorporated into the Union is more than eighty percent; However, the city of Three Waves is expected to have a hand like the West Coast, and they have the right to become independent from the federation when the laws and constitutions of the Addison State do not protect the rights and interests of the state (city) government. ”

"Understood." Pansy Jane nodded.

In the map of the Eddison Federation, the District of Columbia, where the capital is located, and the autonomous states on the West Coast have always been in a conjugated father-son state, and they both consider themselves to be each other's fathers, and now the merger of Three Portlands into the Federation has also spread this conjugated father-son state.

The Addison Commonwealth can declare that it welcomes Three Portlands as a Free Lands of the Federation.

The city of Three Waves can also say the same to the outside world, welcoming the Federation to the friendly family of Three Portlands.

"The Federation paid a lot of money to get three Portlands, and there must be a rigid need. Three Portlands arrive in late March and early April......" Xia Xiu stretched out his index finger and swiped at the void.

Following his command, [Adam] quickly responded, and the air around him seemed to be infused with life, and layers of virtual projection curtains appeared in front of him out of thin air.

These projection curtains display rows of relevant information states, each representing a different message and data, organized in an extremely efficient and intuitive way, waiting for the Fourth Sword Bearer of Heaven to browse and command.

This information includes but is not limited to international developments, internal reports, intelligence analysis, and real-time news, each of which has been screened and optimized by [Adam]'s advanced algorithms to ensure that Xia Xiu has access to the most critical and up-to-date information.

"Sure enough, it's this thing." Xia Xiu's eyes moved quickly between these curtains, and soon, he found the information he was looking for.

"All Realms and 100 Schools Compete for the Cup."

Beginning in the second half of 1591, the Golden Tree Revolution would completely reshape the competitive landscape among the schools participating in the Ivy War.

In this change, all the gold fragments will be shattered a second time, which will inevitably lead to the transformation of the rules themselves into a series of scattered rule areas of the Article, which will become a new battleground with important [Ivy Modifiers] that are crucial to repairing the Golden Ring.

Most of these areas made up of fragmented rules are extremely fragile and unable to withstand the arrival of thaumaturgists at the [Juggernaut] level or above.

This limitation, combined with the wide distribution of fragments and the harshness of the conditions for complementation, makes these areas an area of competition between academic research-led academic institutions.

Against this backdrop, the Hundred Schools Cup was created, which was created to maintain healthy competition and academic exchange among thaumaturgical schools.

The rules of the Tournament Cup are strictly limited, prohibiting any thaumaturgists above the third stage from participating, ensuring the fairness and safety of the tournament.

Open only to thaumaturgical academy students, the competition aims to unleash and nurture the potential of young thaumaturgists, while also providing a platform for them to showcase their talents and academic achievements.

"The Addison Federation wants to let the Deer Courtyard be used as foreign aid?" Pansy Jane only glanced at the information, and immediately understood the strategic direction of the Addison government.

"That's true." Xia Xiu nodded, "If you want to participate in the Ivy War, you must first have a hub or plane fragment as the [foundation], and you must build a [Ivy Completion Pool] on the [foundation] to water the [Golden Branch] and obtain the correction value." ”

"[Golden Branch], this one is easy to find, I go out for a walk, I should be able to find a lot. The trouble is the completion pool, according to the current circulating theory in the market, the first-level completion pool can only hold 1000 correction points, and the earning of the correction value must do something that has positive feedback on the [Golden Tree] and the worlds. Conversely, if you do something that harms the interests of the Golden Tree and the worlds, you will gain distortion value. ”

Xia Xiu's mind recalled the huge distortion value after the Heavenly Kingdom settled in the Junction Land, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Fortunately, the [Golden Tree] didn't dare to offend the Kingdom of Heaven too much, so it still left the opening of the Authority and Hell's Kitchen so that the Kingdom of Heaven could participate in the shell.

It's just that in this poor and white place, everything still needs to be established step by step by he, the director.

"Clean up all the Hell's Kitchen by April."

Xia Xiu's words were like a cold wind in winter, revealing a biting cold.

"The Third Court of Heaven must be established within half a year."

Order must be re-established, and the will of Heaven will expand outward again through His hands.

Destiny is clear.

It's not just the Terra nations that love this word and this miracle.

***********

As night fell, the junction of 48th Street and 9th Avenue was shrouded in dim light, and it became a rallying point for the members of the task force who were about to carry out the operation.

Poofβ€”

This is the sound of the rabbit mechanical butler turning off the projection.

This action was as if it were a signal to mark the official start of the task force's operations.

"Are you ready for the ceremony?"

The Bright Moon Rabbit stood at this junction, her posture changing significantly the moment the projection turned off. The respectful attitude that had just been used to communicate with the Authority through the projection disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a calm and firm temperament.

The expression on her face turned cold, and her whole body exuded an unmistakable leadership.

"Over." Zero Forty, who was in charge of interrogating the goblin merchant just now, replied.

"Let's go." The Bright Moon Rabbit nodded.

The members of the raiding group heard the order of the Bright Moon Rabbit, and they all approached her, standing around her.

Entering the Whisper Square requires a special ritual called the "Whisper Opening Ceremony".

Combining elements of occult and occult studies, this ritual is the only way to the secret plaza hidden between reality and fantasy.

The ritual requires four elements: a bottle filled with moonlight, an unlit spark, a stone soaked in the night mist, and a jewel condensed from dreams.

These elements symbolize water, fire, earth, and wind, and must be arranged according to specific rules before the ceremony.

Participants stand around the circle, holding the collected elements and chanting ancient incantations together.

The content of the spell is a plea for the power of the plane, requesting that the passage to the Whisper Square be opened.

In the center of the circle, place each of the four elements on the ground and light it with a ghostfire, a mysterious smokeless flame.

The flames change color, indicating that the ritual is being accepted by the forces of the plane.

When all the elements have been consecrated and the ghost fire has burned to its highest point, the ritual participants are required to close their eyes and chant the incantation again.

As the end of the spell dissipates, a light breeze blows, and when participants open their eyes, they will find themselves at the entrance to the Whisper Square.

That's what the "Whisper Opening Ceremony" is all about.

At this moment, under the leadership of her team members, the Bright Moon Rabbit came to the arranged ceremony site and began to carry out the ritual step by step.

When all the elements were sacrificed and the spectral fire, which symbolized the power of the plane, appeared, the Bright Moon nodded slightly at the captains of the commandos led by them, and the team members exchanged a determined look with each other, and then, almost simultaneously, each of them took out a small container from their compact capsule device, the [Hidden Spectrum Mother Elixir].

The Concealment is a capsule series developed by the Director of the Authority, Hugh Abraham, and here is all the information about the potion.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Capsule Series - 001.

Concealers use highly compact storage devices made of nanotechnology to keep chemicals stable and pure in miniaturized sizes. The shell is made of biodegradable material, ensuring that no trace is left after the mission is completed.

There are three modes of the agent.

One-third dose (subliminal state of awareness): After injection, the operator's presence in reality is greatly reduced, and he is able to move freely through the crowd without attracting attention. Suitable for reconnaissance and infiltration missions.

Two-thirds of the dose (quasi-invisible): After injection, the operator is nearly invisible and can only be detected when performing conspicuous movements. Suitable for approaching or bypassing enemy lines.

Full Dose (Selfless State): After the injection, the operator enters a state of virtually devoid of reality, even if the mission is carried out in front of the enemy's eyes. However, this state is extremely dangerous and can cause the operator to permanently disappear from reality.

Time limit: Inject the full dose, the duration of the effect is only three minutes. Failure to buffer the timeout will result in severe reflux.

Buffering agent: A buffering agent specially designed for concealment agents, which can quickly restore the operator's presence at the end of the three-minute effect and prevent the mother from regurgitating.

The Director of the Board of Directors recommends that specific anti-mother training be carried out before use to reduce the risk of regurgitation. Choose the right dose and control it precisely according to the needs of the task. Start timing as soon as you gaze at the full dose, making sure to complete the task and inject the buffer agent within three minutes.

Notes:

The operator should be especially careful when using the full dose to avoid a prolonged state of selflessness, so as not to be unable to return to reality.

It should only be used when necessary to avoid irreversible effects on the psychological and physical effects of the operator.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Concealing light, its essence is the part of the mimu disease source body that Xia Xiu has divided and diluted from his crown-level [presence weakening].

The reason why the goblin merchants didn't find the Bright Moon Rabbit and the others earlier was because they had all injected one-third of the dose of the occult agent and entered a subthreshold state of awareness.

Just now, the assault team relied on the state of awareness to follow the goblin merchant all the way along the route, and this burial team by Xia Xiu himself had inherited his fine tradition.

Now, all the commandos, including the Bright Moon Rabbit, quickly aimed the potion at their necks and gently pierced it, and the operation was swift and accurate.

After the injection, each member of the team began to stare at the one-third dosage indication in the potion container, silently retracting it into their own handy capsule.

And the flaming ghost fire in front of him has burned to its highest point.

All the participants began to chant the mantra themselves, accompanied by a low mantra.

The pylorus, opened.

Hula-

The end of the spell dissipated, and a light breeze blew, and everyone dissipated in place as if they had never existed.

After the ritual is completed, the circle and all traces of the Whisper Door Ceremony will automatically disappear as if it had never existed.

***********

Hub Block, Whisper Plaza.

Enchanted Fountain area.

As the Bright Moon Rabbit and her team complete the mysterious ritual of the Whisper Opening Ceremony, they slowly open their eyes and find themselves in a very different environment, the center of the Whisper Square.

Before the Whisper Opening Ceremony, she and her teammates had been pre-injected with a third of the dose of the Concealment Agent, and at this moment their presence in reality had been greatly reduced, as if they were blending into their surroundings, even if they stood in the noisy crowd, they would not attract anyone's attention.

Therefore, although they were now standing in the bustling trading center of Whisper Square, surrounded by xenomorph traders and explorers from all planes, they were unaware of them

As the Moonlight stepped into the Whispering Plaza, her eyes were first drawn to the magic fountain in the center of the plaza.

The fountain emits a soft and mysterious light, with water droplets jumping in the air, reflecting the moonlight in a variety of dreamlike colors, adding an indescribable magic to the entire square.

However, just as she was about to take a closer look, a huge polluting word came into her eyes - "Humans and dogs are not allowed".

Bright Moon Rabbit's brow furrowed, and she shifted her gaze from the fountain to the nearby passers-by.

All around, bustling with exotic traders and explorers make for an active and colorful picture.

Elves, dwarves, half-elves, goblins, and other fantasy races roam the fountain, talking or trading, each busy with their own affairs.

These aliens are dressed in a variety of costumes, some gorgeous, some simple, but each one has a strong cultural character and magical atmosphere, which fills the whole square with a strange and charming atmosphere.

Next to the Magic Fountain, some shops are filled with treasures and glittering with seductive light.

These precious items attract guests from all over the world, who haggle around the stalls, and each transaction is accompanied by the power of magic and contract.

Everything in the Whisper Square is harmonious.

The Bright Moon Rabbit stared at the fountain and the bustling aliens around her for a long time, and then, with a delicate pull, she pulled out a small, seemingly ordinary capsule from her device. With a press of her hand, the capsule was suddenly deformed, the material was reassembled, and soon a pure white mask was formed in her hand.

This mask is simple and elegant, without any ornamentation and without rope or any obvious fixtures.

However, when the Bright Moon Rabbit gently placed it on her face, the mask seemed to be drawn to an invisible force, automatically clinging to her face. It adapts perfectly to the shape of her face, as if it were tailor-made, without any discomfort.

As the mask was worn, a subtle transfiguration began to take place. The surface of the mask began to glow with layers of lustre, as if it were alive, and soon its form changed, gradually becoming the shape of a rabbit. Not only is the rabbit mask lifelike, but it is also extremely delicate in its details, from the long ears to the slight crease at the tip of the nose.

The other commandos also took out their white masks and wore them on their faces, but the mask patterns they had conjured were strange.

This is Capsule Series 022 – [Custom Mask].

In the heart of the Bright Moon Rabbit, 022 is the same as the capsule series 021 [Emoji Mask], giving people a very chicken feeling.

However, since the director put it in the capsule series, then naturally he has his deep intentions, which is not just enough to cooperate with the concealer to install a wave of aliens in the secret language square.

Anyway, they are injected with one-third of the concealment agent on their bodies, and this state greets the aliens, and it is difficult for the other party to notice that they are human.
