Chapter 401: Knowing the Result
"Because that's the only result!"
In front of the Old Rain Building, the voice of the note was as smooth as ever, and even the most demanding micro-expression experts could hardly read the slightest flaw in her demeanor and tone.
At the same time, the image also falls to a small room miles away, where a middle-aged man in a cream-white shirt and brown trousers struggles to maintain the projection in the center of the room, while more than a dozen pairs of eyes are firmly watching every detail of the picture.
These people are all celebrities and dignitaries who can call the wind and rain in the Shengyuan Continent, but crowded in a room that is not spacious, there is a strange feeling of adolescent teenagers watching forbidden films.
The picture flickered twice and went out after a short time, and the middle-aged man let out a sigh and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "The consumption of forcible divination in Hongshan Academy is too heavy, especially outside the old rain building. That's all I have to do until I go...... As you can see, that's what they say. β
There was soon a long sigh all around.
"It doesn't look like a problem. A young Shengyuan nobleman with a mustache and a monocle said, "In line with the conclusion of the previous meeting, this is not the result they want, the exploration of the virtual realm is a field that the Qin State has barely begun to catch up with in the past hundred years, and it was not until Zhu Junshen appeared that there were finally phased results, but compared to the thousand-year-old heritage of the Shengyuan Continent, they are still far behind, and we have an absolute advantage in this project." β
"I agree with that, too. Beside him, an old man with a goatee sighed while squeezing his eyes, as if he wanted to tear the dark circles under his eyes, "I participated in the whole night meeting, and I can be sure that the note is seriously striving to set the theme of the conference as 'opening up Xinjiang', which is indeed a project in which the Qin people have more advantages, whether it is southern Xinjiang or northern Xinjiang, they are more experienced." And she argued with us hoarsely at the meeting, and her posture could not be faked. β
Another old man said: "As far as I know, the secretary general of the council of the Red Mountain Academy has always been known for his integrity and fairness, and those shady jobs are generally done by the original poems. β
"Speaking of which, why didn't I see the original poem come out to stir up trouble at the meeting yesterday? Qin Guo was overwhelmed by us at the meeting, and his throat was almost dry, and he couldn't go back, and I was always worried that the-stirring stick would suddenly jump out. β
"It is said that she was banned from entering because of her criminal record, and it was the kind of ban order that cannot be reversed, and I heard from my subordinates that I saw her stomping her feet outside the door. β
β...... The Qin people are really cocooned and self-bound, such an important meeting actually abolished their own strongest spray gun, no wonder it is difficult to support it alone. β
"Coupled with the fact that the Grand Master himself needs to heal and it is difficult to participate in the whole meeting, I feel that we are a little invincible. β
"This matter was originally the first of the Qin people's collusion with the ancient relics. Why did Sheng Yuan continue to wipe the ass of the Qin people after losing the two grandmasters and the scholars of the many academic groups? This gamble itself was established by them taking advantage of the fire to rob ......"
"Don't worry about the previous matter, the establishment of the gambling game is also based on the acquiescence of the speaker speaker, do you want to say that the speaker is bowing to the Qin people?"
"Naturally, I don't dare to ......"
"I think this is an excellent opportunity, when the gamble is established, the Qin people think they have the chance to win, but then we have to tell them that the battle of national power depends on integrity, and the Shengyuan Empire is not comparable to the Qin State at any time. β
This was said solemnly, and it was about the majesty of the country, which made everyone present awe-inspiring.
After a while, the old man with the goatee said again: "You don't have to be so dignified, this matter is indeed a loss of our country, but on the one hand, after these two days of continuous meetings, the established gambling plan has been very beneficial to us, on the other hand, as Chen Wang Fangcai said, the battle for national strength lies in the uprightness, and the Shengyuan Empire not only has an advantage in overall national strength, but also in terms of mobilization ability, it is not comparable to the divided Qin State, our opponent is not a complete country, but a mere Hongshan Academy." β
"Speaking of which, since the bet is on that information, what is the position of the Qin Imperial Family? They probably don't want to see the information fall into the hands of outsiders, right? It contains a lot of secrets of the royal family. β
"The attitude of the Qin royal family is indeed ambiguous, if it weren't for this, the people of Hongshan would not have retreated at the conference table after Zhu Junshen got the first move. If nothing else, the Qin royal family will at least not go all out to help the Hongshan people at the Blazing Feather Island Conference. β
"In other words, only the Hongshan people are doing their best in this matter? β
"Don't be so optimistic, even if it is a battlefield that we are familiar with, with several times the strength advantage, don't forget that the opponent is not only the Hongshan people, but also the ancient relics, that is the most worthy of attention. β
"That's right, it's not so much that our opponents are Hongshan people, but that they are Snow Mountain people. Without those few ancient relics, those second-rate talents of Hongshan Academy are not worth anything at all. But it is precisely because we are from the Snow Mountain that our national strength advantage may not be able to really be brought into play, so we still have to be cautious and must win this gamble for Shengyuan without any doubt!"
Everyone in the room nodded, and no one questioned the significance of the gamble.
Because that was the acquiescence of the Speaker.
"The next question is, what preparations do we need to make in terms of the exploration of the Void?"
"First of all, it's the personnel, the principle of the meeting is that students can only participate, this is the Hongshan people who are shameless, Bai Xiao is actually a student......
"Objectively speaking, he is indeed a student, the chief newcomer who has been in contact with the Demon Dao for less than a year. β
"But his core combat power has nothing to do with the Demon Dao at all!"
"So if we can catch an ancient beast or something, and make it willing to be a student of the Holy Yuan, we can also send it to the Blazing Feather Island Conference. β
"Don't raise the bar on meaningless issues, Hongshan people have an advantage in candidates, and this advantage is not only in Bai Xiao, but also in Qingyue. That is a genius who has just come into contact with the knowledge of the Demon Dao, and can go to the Void with the group to explore in person. With her, we can't treat our opponents as 'students', but as demon masters of the same level. β
"As a master of the Demon Dao, this gamble will not be able to be played, no matter how profound our Shengyuan is, we will not be able to find a master-level student. β
"Why not? Have you forgotten the legend of Shengyuan's strongest student?"
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this, and then the same figure invariably appeared in their minds.
The pride of the Saint Yuan who had already advanced to the master realm and was not far away from the apocalypse.
Background, talent, and achievements are all far ahead of his peers, and more importantly, he is still a scholar in the Shengyuan Royal Academy.
Although the status of a monk is a bit special in itself, if you pick the words in the strict sense, this title that can only be obtained by demonic talents under the age of 30 who are about to make a major breakthrough is indeed in line with the concept of "student"!
β...... It seems to be really feasible!"
"Of course it is feasible, and it must be feasible! For the ancient relics, we can only let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go out. β
"But is His Highness a little older? Although he is indeed still a student, it seems far-fetched to say that the second half of the twenties is a bit far-fetched. β
"No matter how old you are, you are still a human after all, but the people of Hongshan have even moved out of non-human beings like the ancient relics, what is the age problem?"
"Your Highness can make a move, this gamble will be nine out of ten, if I remember correctly, His Highness seems to have frequently participated in the exploration of the Void Realm since he was 18 years old, and his rich experience is enough to rank in the forefront of the entire Shengyuan Continent. There are very few Demon Dao masters of the same level who can compare with it. β
"The key is that His Highness's strength does not lie in his simple strength, but in his ability to explore and innovate, summarize and summarize, three years ago, His Royal Highness's "Preliminary Study of the Laws of the Eastern Regions of the Void Realm", which seems to be an essay, but it is really a word for word, and later the scholars who went to the Eastern Regions to explore almost everyone have a volume. β
"You are here to tout royalty, and you are unlikely to be courted by Parliament...... However, I admit that you are right, except for a very small number of heroes in the exploration of the Void Realm, His Highness is already the top Void Explorer in the world, if he participates in the Void Exploration, we will win more than half of the Blazing Feather Island Conference. β
"What about the remaining half?"
"Then it depends on how much surprise the ancient relics can bring us. β
At the mention of this topic, the atmosphere in the cottage becomes solemn again.
"I heard that Bai Xiao was imprisoned in the void by a foreign body outside the sky, and then killed it by himself?"
"Is there such a thing? I thought it was just a foreign object imprisoned in a special space, and the space naturally disintegrated after the foreign object was killed...... It's actually in the Void Realm? The Void Realm doesn't eat any forbidden demon bodies!"
"The Void Realm is not the Demon Realm, and of course they don't eat forbidden demon bodies, so it stands to reason that the ancient remnants are no different from us in the Void Realm...... But the Void Realm is changing, who can say for sure, if the place where he is imprisoned is a high-energy demon realm, maybe he will really break out. β
"The High Energy Demon Domain has only existed in theoretical conjectures from the beginning, and so far the exploration of the Eastern and Western Domains has not found any clues that can support this theory. But to tell the truth, if it weren't for the high-energy Demon Domain, it would be really difficult to explain that a person whose knowledge of the Void World was limited to introductory readings could be killed by himself. β
"Maybe Bai Xiao is wise and foolish, and the real demonic theory attainments are not under Qingyue, if he has Qingyue's talent......"
"It's not okay to have talent, I've also read the imaginary papers written by Qingyue, the whimsy is indeed amazing, but that's all, her theoretical attainments are not deep enough, the most important thing is that her ability to act is far from keeping up with her thinking ability, and without a whole team of people behind her to support her whimsy, she is also useless in the imaginary world. β
"But Bai Xiao's action power is a real master, no, after the battle of the Outer Alien Body, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is close to the grandmaster level. β
"So...... Your Highness's opponents this time are two quasi-grandmasters from the Snow Mountain?"
"Hey, looking at it this way, is the plan of Void Exploration good or bad?!"
"At least the least bad result, those two ancient remnants have always been an unavoidable trouble, and putting them in the void has at least limited their strength to the maximum. Imagine, if it's not the Void Exploration, but the Battle of the Frontier, how can we compete with the Snow Mountain Combo?"
Everyone tried to deduce it in their minds, and then they were quickly shattered by all kinds of horrific images.
The so-called Battle of Kaijiang was essentially the southern Xinjiang battlefield of the Qin State. At present, there are large areas of wilderness in the eastern and western continents that have not yet been incorporated into the map of civilization, and the biggest obstacle is the natural danger of the geographical environment and the existence of indigenous peoples, and war is the most efficient means to remove these obstacles. The battle for the opening of the frontier at the Blazing Feather Island Conference is that the two countries each mobilize their elites to start a war in the specified time and the specified wilderness area, which side opens up a wider area and obtains more valuable resources, and which side wins the battle of opening the frontier.
This kind of contest has been fought several times in the past at the Blazing Feather Island Conference, with competitions between the countries of the Shengyuan and the Qin State, as well as battles between the smaller affiliated states. Of course, it is more about internal strife, after all, the beneficiaries of the war of frontier are often the countries directly bordering the wilderness.
The last well-known battle to open the frontier was the contest between the Red Mountain Academy and the Royal Academy of White Night City, and the eldest princess won a complete victory on the battlefield in Southern Xinjiang and won the supreme supervision of the Red Mountain Academy. And the reason why she was able to win heartily was that she had an incredible ability in actual combat under the same realm, and her efficiency alone was at least worth the sum of seven or eight people on the side of Hongshan Academy!
And in the high-level circle of Shengyuan, the core of the strength of the eldest princess of the Qin State lies in the years when she disappeared - before she disappeared, she was only a member of the royal family with excellent talent in the Demon Dao, but when she returned, she was a master of actual combat who could break the emperor's legs! Obviously, in those few years, she received extremely clever guidance.
The identity of that master used to be a mystery that puzzled most people, but with Bai Wuya's high-profile appearance, the puzzle was naturally solved...... It's just that the problem that comes with it is. People can't afford to think of fighting against the white-clothed tribe at all.
If the gamble is really put on the battle of the frontier, then the Shengyuan Empire has no chance of winning unless it is willing to sacrifice a group of blood demons.
"Fortunately, most of the time, the exploration of the Void does not require actual combat, or even personal strength. The old man with the goatee rubbed his eyes and began to rub his temples again, and it was evident that the burden on him to come to this small secret meeting after a series of all-night meetings was already quite heavy, but at this time he was duty-bound.
Because he is the head of the Void Department of the Saint Yuan Demon Dao Council.
"The most important thing in exploring the void is knowledge, which has been accumulated over the years and over countless generations. Strong combat power and judgment are just small skills of carving insects, and even the so-called elite team is just an auxiliary device. There are countless wise men and warriors buried in the Void, and many of them are amazing......"
"Feng Lao, please get straight to the point. The bearded young man couldn't wait a little and opened his mouth to urge.
Minister Feng sighed, he had planned to use the opening story to relieve the swelling pain in his brain, but it seemed that the intention of the water word count still could not be carried through.
"To put it simply, the exploration of the virtual world can be cheated...... Speaking of this, the old man was too stinging in his head, and all those euphemistic clichΓ©s were left behind by him, "Most of the amazing so-called exploration miracles you see are designed in advance!"
This sentence shocked at least a third of the people in the room.
"Minister, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense!"
The old man said, "Your Highness will come over in a moment, and I can say these words even in front of him, and at this time, at least there is no need for the people in this room to be kept in the dark." The most important step in the exploration of the void is before the exploration. β
The young man with the beard realized: "Location?"
"That's right, the most important thing is the location, the void is vast, even the preliminarily measured Eastern Regions have an area no less than the Eastern Continent, and there are dangers in it, if you choose the wrong entry point, even the Demon Dao Grandmaster may be completely lost in it, but on the other hand, if the location is correct, even if it is a good-for-nothing mortal, you may make a major discovery. And how to choose a location, of course, there is a know-how, and this know-how is the accumulation of countless people over the past thousand years. β
When the old man said this, he felt a throbbing pain in his brain, and he couldn't help but plan to tell a few more stories about the martyrs to fill the water, but before he could speak, he heard the door of the secret room being pushed open, and a young and hearty voice interjected.
"The Council has a map of the Void that records all the information of the Empire about the Void, through which the 'prophecy' can be fulfilled by deducing it in a reasonable way. That's right, most of the Void Realm explorations I participated in had already been predicted before the action, and the Qin people were the same, the exploration action that Qingyue participated in was also designed in advance by the Great Grandmaster, and although her role in it was heavy, it was only the icing on the cake. β
While not minding exposing his own and others' secrets, Yuan Yi walked to the middle of the room and sat cross-legged on the ground under everyone's awe-inspiring gaze.
And as he sat down, the disappearing picture suddenly lit up again.
Yuan Yi solemnly observed the conversation between Yu and Bai Xiao in front of the old rain building, and after seeing the same picture, Yuan Yi sighed and made diametrically opposite judgments.
"We've been tricked, and the Void Exploration is a trap deliberately designed by the people of Red Mountain. β
Bang!
In the room, many people with a keen sense of hearing seemed to hear the sound of an old man's cerebral blood vessel bursting all night.
"It's not good, Minister Feng ...... him"
Yuan Yi beckoned, and the old man whose blood vessels had burst suddenly recovered, stretched out his hand and pressed his temple, only to feel that the pressure and fatigue accumulated in the past two days had disappeared.
Soon, however, heavier pressures set in.
"Everything at the meeting is a disguise, after all, this note is a sister with the original poem, the acting skills are really quite beautiful, just look at her performance, there is no flaw at all, even the trembling of the teacup is a delicate controllable detail, but unfortunately Bai Xiao is still a little more upright, with his temperament, he will only be eager to try when he hears the exploration of the virtual world, and the reaction on the picture is obviously excessive. So all this shows that the exploration of the Void is in the calculations of the Hongshan people. β
Minister Feng only felt a dryness in his throat: "However, it may also be because Bai Xiao has experienced ...... in the Void Realm."
"No matter what you go through, it is impossible to make a person who dares to face a foreign object outside the sky timid, and the person who designed this bridge section also underestimated the confidence of the Shengyuan people in Bai Xiao. β
Yuan Yi's words, how strange it sounds, what is the confidence of the Shengyuan people in Bai Xiao...... But the point of the matter is clearly not here.
Minister Feng asked hoarsely, "Your Highness, since it is a trap......
Yuan Yi smiled: "Of course it's stepping on it!"
