When the old man saw Welling, his eyes lit up, and his old face became a little shiny, and his voice seemed to be afraid that others would not hear him:

"You kid, didn't I tell you last time, don't worry about me as an old fellow, it's not your task."

"Hehe, Grandpa Hanshui, I also have leisure time, so I came to see you by the way."

Welling replied with a smile, and put a little pastry he bought casually next to the old man's wheelchair.

"Hi...... You little brother, what should I say about you...... If I had grandchildren, you would be your age...... I can't imagine that there are such good boys, remember people like me......"

The old man was a little sentimental and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Ha, Grandpa Hanshui, I want to listen to your music again!"

"Oh, yes, then I'll play you a tune right away."

The music sounded as cold and smooth as flowing water.

Welling and the people around him listened quietly.

The old man must have practiced this piece after listening to it for the first time, and both the fluency and rhythm were much better than the last time.

Endless thoughts were immersed in this sad and sad music, Wei Ling's empathy technique did not move, and everyone around him was within the scope of the spell, immersed in the emotional world of the old man.

This is the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and longing of ordinary people.

It is also an ordinary person's struggles and dreams, happiness and joy.

Even though the music has stopped, everyone still hasn't come out of that empathy, and they look at the cold water, without the slightest trace of disdain.

Hanshui's missing body with a leg no longer seems to be an eyesore, and his quirk of stubbornly using language to communicate also makes people feel understandable and has won a trace of respect from everyone.

……

The old people woke up from the emotion of the music and found that the amiable little brother had left at some point.

Welling left quietly without saying goodbye, because he didn't want to break everyone's emotion about the music, and because he received a message from Qinghui:

"Welling, please come to this official office!"

When I got to the ground floor, I came to the office of Qinghui.

At this time, it was getting late, and most of the officials of the county government office had already left, and Qinghui sat alone at the table and pondered.

He was very happy to see Welling coming:

"Welling, I really didn't expect your trip to be so smooth, I have carefully read the information you packed for me...... Come and sit, don't stand. ”

Welling also sat down on the side of the bookcase:

"My lord, the main thing is that we grasped the time very quickly, did not give the other party more opportunities, and did not deviate from the direction."

"Yes, the other party's ideas and strategies are also relatively detailed...... Now, for us, the Murong clan's side actually doesn't have much real value, presumably Murong Langji is staying in Maiji County at the moment. ”

"Well, so is my judgment.

My lord, have you heard of any Fire Stealer programs? ”

Qinghui's complexion became a little solemn:

"This was not before, and yesterday there was another message that also mentioned this word.

You know, part of the Western Expeditionary Army has arrived in Kelab, and the Lee brothers are over there.

There was a small attack outside the city, and among the attackers, there was a mage who was not quite sane, and he knew three origin spells.

It took a lot of effort for the squad to kill him, and the other attackers lost their fighting spirit when they saw him killed, and one of the dying sergeants said that the fire thieves were dead and hopeless.

Unfortunately, the sergeant also died in the end. ”

Welling raised his eyebrows:

"What my lord means is that it can be preliminarily judged that the fire thief is a mage who can use multiple origin spells that Xi Xuan doesn't know how to use?"

"Yes, fortunately, the biological sample of the mage who died in battle was obtained, and if there are also genetic characteristics of the Great Xia people, then, we can connect this information into a line."

Welling immediately understood what Qinghui meant.

After the Battle of Iasi, in the southward advance team of the Western Expeditionary Army, he found the remains of the four mages and their characteristics of the Great Xia people, the mage who knew the triple origin spell, the children of the Great Xia in the slave trading group, and the fire thief plan......

All this information made Wei Ling have to connect Xixuan's fire stealer plan with the Great Xia people.

"Welling, have you thought about it, what is the fundamental purpose of the Federation losing so many sergeants this time?

Could it be that as Lord Xiao assumed, the real purpose was actually to verify the final large-scale spell attack?

The 200,000 sergeants are just troops used as support, or are they purged troops after spells? ”

Welling's face was solemn, waiting for Qinghui's analysis.

Qinghui thought for a moment, a little annoyed:

"At present, there is still too little information to judge, unless there is a hypothesis, just like the last time on the Kunpeng vehicle, Lord Xiao raised a few questions, which are also the questions that plague many wise people.

That assumption is that the top level of the federation decided that they would no longer develop scientific and technological forces in the future, and they decided to change the track and continue to compete with us.

They should also have internal contradictions and conflicts of interests, and they did not cooperate well with this large-scale military operation.

However, the results of the battle also proved their prediction, that is, the future will be based on the warlock spell battle, as Lord Xiao said that day, the other party has also made considerable progress. ”

Welling added his observations:

"But this progress is still limited to the small population base of the Xixuan people, the low rate of divine revelation, and the lack of potential of the origin spell, so the Federation has hit the idea on the Great Xia people, can it be understood in this way?"

Qinghui nodded slightly, but pointed out that there was a loophole in what Welling said:

"That's fine, but there's a timeline conflict.

You see Nanxing's age, less than ten years old, compared to the era when they were cultivated on those islands, and the remains of the four mages who had already reached adulthood.

Could it be that this plan was already being implemented twenty years ago? ”

Welling pondered for a long time and made a very difficult decision:

"Your Excellency...... Another day, I'll take some of the hair of Nanxing, Shanglu, and Jinu, and compare their genes with those of the four mages and the fire thief in Kerala to trace their genes......"

"No!"

Qinghui interrupted Welling's thoughts.

It's not that he didn't think of this method and found out the clues from it.

But don't dare.

There are two reasons, the first is that the empire does not have a gene universal sequence library of the gate valve family at all, which is related to the foundation of the empire's survival.

Even if there is such a gene pool, it must only be in the hands of the royal family.

The second is, since Welling is also of unknown origin, and he can also use three spells, could he also be a member of the Fire Stealer Project?

Once the genes of Nanxing et al. are extracted, then Welling should also be provided.

The inevitable result of this is that Qinghui is exploring the roots of "that person".

This already involves something more sensitive than the four major lords.

Qinghui is not afraid of death, but she never wants to die under the pressure of the high-level in such an unknown way.

It was rare for Welling to see Qinghui interrupt his thoughts so nervously.

He thought for a moment, his face became a little ugly, and he smiled bitterly:

"I ...... I understand what adults think...... Actually, I wasn't necessarily part of the Fire Stealers program myself. ”

Qinghui raised her head, looked at Welling, and shook her head slightly:

"No matter what you are, your position is destined for who you are.

After you told me about this fire stealer's plan, it already said everything, what you have done has done no harm to the Empire, who can doubt you? ”

Welling smiled bitterly and threw out a message that stunned Qinghui:

"My lord, I woke up from the high mountain west of Iasi that day, and aimlessly, casually descended eastward into the empire of Iasi.

If I had chosen the direction of the west, like the blonde young man, who had traveled thousands of miles, and would have appeared in the area of Pathbon, perhaps I would have been a member of the Federation. ”

Qing Hui really didn't know how to convince Welling of this idea for a while, but he thought of another important situation:

"No, your racial characteristics, you are from my Great Xia, even if you go west, you will inevitably be attacked and imprisoned.

Haha, it means that you are going east, this is the will of God, it is your subconscious arrangement! ”

It would be Welling's turn to stammer.

What Qinghui said is not wrong, even if she went to the West, those Xixuan people knew that they were hostile forces at a glance, and the inexplicable film and television dramas of the old era, the traversal routines, and the amnesia stalks in their minds were all set in Great Xia.

It's fucking providence.

Seeing that Welling had already recognized his statement, Qinghui also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

He couldn't imagine that a person like Welling joining the Xixuan Federation would definitely be a big loss for the empire.

Qinghui gave up thinking about these and asked Welling:

"Forget it, we don't bother with these things, after all, the clues in our hands can't be connected into a complete and self-consistent closed loop.

By the way, I didn't ask you, how is the magic ability? ”

Welling didn't think much about it, and directly threw the recent fight in the stone chamber to Qinghui.

In the original situation report, only the mid-level mage and fire stealer of this earth spirit were mentioned, and there was no specific fighting process.

Qing Hui seemed to have gone through the whole battle process in an instant, and his complexion became quite exciting:

"This mage is very powerful, and he is very experienced in experience, judgment, and decision-making.

But it obviously feels like you haven't had enough experience, otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to learn the word fire stealer from him. ”

Seeing Welling nodding, Qinghui couldn't help but make a joke:

"Ha, I guess the other party is also very depressed when he encounters a warlock like you who can't be beaten...... Anyway, I'm completely relieved that you, and if you don't meet a high-level warlock, there shouldn't be any special danger. ”

Welling is also a little confident:

"Yes, I intuitively decided at that time that the spiritual magic was useless to him, and his spiritual power should currently surpass mine, so he only used the origin technique."

"Welling, in fact, your combination of origin spells is also your biggest hole card, anyway, I haven't seen a precedent...... In the future, except for the most trustworthy people, don't expose them easily, and once you use the word formula, it's best to kill it. ”

"Uh-huh...... Thanks to my lord, without that custom-made sword, I am afraid it would be difficult to get out of this way. ”

Qinghui was slightly surprised:

"That's right, the data of this sabre, as soon as you sent it to me, I deduced it, and it stands to reason that it does not have the powerful cutting power shown in your image."

For a wise warlock like Qing Hui, any slight deviation in the data will attract his attention.

Welling was stunned, laughed, and threw out a message:

"My lord, do you believe that there are monsters in this world?"

"Youkai?!"

Qinghui seemed to think that she had received the wrong message.

"Yes, it's the legendary youkai, mountain spirits, goblins and even demon clans."

Welling didn't hide it, and directly packed the things about ingots and threw them over.

For a moment, Qinghui couldn't help but shake her head and smiled dumbly:

"Haha...... Well, don't say it, it's really a little weird, in an era when technology has developed to such an extent, there is a monster to say.

However, there are still such adorable clouded leopards...... If they have enough spell levels, they are really legendary monsters!

However, even if they are monsters, they are also the monsters of my Great Xia, haha! ”

When he thought of ingots, Welling couldn't help but smile.
