Heavenly Dao Formula

"You don't quite understand the concept of thunder and lightning in the east..."

Olina's words came to mind again.

Ratherin understood now.

This is not lightning at all!

And during the whole process, he didn't hear any incantations, and he didn't see the other party take out any spell-casting materials. Just lifting and sending the palm of his hand turned the gold pen into a deadly weapon.

If the shot falls on him...

Latherin felt a little chill behind his back.

"Can this prove it?" Xia Fan's voice brought him back to his senses.

"Barely...it's okay." The defense officer tried to pretend to be relaxed and replied, "Are all Eastern spells like you?"

"This is the shock technique—the most basic application of the lightning technique. Of course, there are more complex and incredible alchemy techniques." Xia Fan nodded. For example, Luo Qingqing's Dragon Scale and Tianshu Shi's World Chess Game, in principle, are beyond the scope of the theory he knows.

The most basic application?

Is this really the oriental alchemy he knows?

Why did some maritime merchants who have been there never mention this, but compare their magic system with witchcraft?

A surge of anger suddenly rose in Ratherin's heart.

The damn businessman didn't have a word he could believe. Next time someone says that again, he will definitely give the other party some color!

"Okay, since you're so determined, I won't stop you any further." Latherin coughed twice, "But remember, if you find any clues, you must tell me."

He puts more emphasis on the word "I".

Xia Fan suddenly realized that even if they were all members of the Cracked Tooth family, they had to understand this achievement separately.

"Naturally. So let's talk about the case itself."

An hour later, Xia Fan and Olina said goodbye and left.

After the door was closed, Rathein let out a long breath. He turned back to the wall and carefully looked at the masonry hole. The nearly palm-thick stone wall was completely penetrated, and the hole was just big enough to fit a finger.

Recently, armies all over the world have been refitting with new types of muskets. Azure Fort has also ordered over a hundred guns, and he even personally tested the samples. But if the target is replaced with such a stone wall, the bullet will at most break a gap in it.

Of course, the power of firearms cannot compare with spells, but putting the two together can undoubtedly give people the most intuitive feeling.

The power of this blow is at least a hundred times that of the musket!

Xia Fan...

Rather silently read the name of the oriental man.

Maybe with the intervention of this person, the case that they see as helpless can really usher in some different changes.

He sat back at the desk, intending to write it down, but suddenly froze after touching the desk twice.

It seems to be his golden pen that pierces the wall!

"Roar------"

Suddenly, the guard outside the door seemed to hear a suppressed dragon roar.

...

Azure Castle, on the outskirts of the West Gate.

It's not far from the Ambergris River, so you can see a dark factory building one after another in the distance - the production scale of the Holy Wing Islands is a bit larger than Xia Fan expected. Although these workshops are simple, they are already a symbol of intensive labor. .

Corresponding to this is the deserted farmland under his feet. It can be seen from the field ridges covered with weeds that Azure Castle once had good agriculture, but it no longer exists.

"Is this the place where the crime happened?" Li looked around, "Why did the Son of the Holy Spirit come to such a place?"

Just like what the fox demon said, except for a country road and a canal used to irrigate the farmland, it is not much different from the remote countryside and forests. A few tens of steps to the north is a dense forest, which is very suitable for concealment. For the convoy passing through this place, it is naturally at a disadvantage.

And Azure Fort is official.

Not only are they connected to the surrounding castles, but they are also hardened roads, which are more suitable for passage than country roads.

"Their cruising route is to circle the Holy Wing Islands, but they don't plan to stop at Azure Fort." Olina explained, "According to the harbor defense officer, the convoy was coming from Black Peak City in the northeast. , plan to board the boat at the ferry ahead, and then go west all the way back to the capital. Although the country trails are bumpy, you don’t need to enter the city, and the journey will take about a day.”

After getting the information about the case from Rassein, Xia Fan immediately returned to the place where he stayed and informed Li and Qianyan of his plan.

Needless to say, Li Zi, apart from agreeing with Xia Fan's decision, she is also quite interested in this issue of the case. Although Qianyan lacked interest, the whereabouts of Shengzi was closely related to Ning Wanjun's life, so a Jinxia detective team was quickly formed.

The problem is that Latherin did tell the details of the case, but their investigation really stayed in the time and place, with very little effective information.

The only thing that is clear is that the case happened here, and no one was left alive at the scene.

"What is the status of the Holy Son in the church?" Li asked Long Nu puzzledly, "The convoy was attacked, and the alarm was not even sounded. I'm afraid the defense force of the companions is not very good, right?"

Olina sighed, "It's okay to say it's tall, but it's okay to say it's not tall. The son of the Holy Spirit is a seedling. If he can live to be twenty years old without making mistakes, he can basically become the backbone of the church. But if he dies halfway, yes It is not a serious loss for the church. Anyway, it is a nationwide selection, and there will always be no shortage of seedlings. Most of the time, the church has three pairs of sons of the Holy Spirit at the same time."

"But the church's reaction doesn't seem to be like this..." Xia Fan mused, "According to the earl, the capital is quite angry."

"The two are not in conflict. In name, the Holy Son is the representative of the church to spread the Gospel, and Hera is walking on the ground. Dare to do something to them, which is equivalent to slapping the church. This is very important to Hera's prestige. , It’s definitely a serious blow.” Olina said bluntly, “The church can ignore it, but it doesn’t mean that anyone can kick it. Anyone who offends Hera must be severely punished.”

"Good guy, if they catch the murderer and punish them severely, it will further strengthen the impression that the church cannot be provoked. As for the safety of the Holy Son, it doesn't matter."

"Although the words are not good, you are not wrong."

"Wait... I remember that you used to be quite fanatical about Hera, and you said that sooner or later the reputation of God will come to the East."

Olina couldn't help but feel hot on her face, "My, my loyalty to the sun god Hera has never changed! It's just that the gods are gods, and the church is the church. The two cannot be treated equally. Is there any problem?"

"No, no." Xia Fan suddenly returned to his serious expression, "This is dialectical thinking, you have learned well."

"You—" Olina gave Xia Fan a hard look, and didn't bother to talk to him anymore.

But there was an undercurrent in her heart.

Yes, it seems that I haven't prayed to Hera for a long time.

When did this change start?

Hera did not redeem her when she was in prison, and it was the man in front of her who led her out of prison. And the people living in Jinxia City don't know what Hera is at all, but their life is no worse than that of the archipelago. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference between the workers of the Machine Building Bureau and this side.

When Yu Shuangxue was giving lectures to Xintao, she also listened to it by the way.

At that time, I didn't feel anything strange, but when Xia Fan mentioned it, a sentence suddenly appeared in my mind.

"It is neither the emperor nor the gods who created everything in the world."

"—Ordinary people are the creators of the world."
