Heavenly Dao Formula

Holy Wing Islands, the boundary of Gila.

The Baisha followed the Longxi River and headed north towards the capital. After the vortex storm in Azure Fort is over, any weather can make everyone feel sunny and sunny. Whether it is the crew or passengers, when they are free, they prefer to lean against the fence on the bow deck and enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river. And the storm that almost sank the entire harbor to the bottom of the sea seems to be just a phantom that exists in memory.

There are many boats traveling between the north and the south on the river, but most of them are river boats, much smaller than the Baisha. In addition, the flag flying on the Baisha does not belong to any country in the West Pole, so it attracted many people to watch. After all, it is the first time that a first-class warship other than the Tranquility Sea countries will appear in the Wangdu area. If it weren't for the church's goddess Hera's flag hanging on both sides of the ship, the defense forces along the way would probably have boarded the ship to check.

"That's the city of Hilla." Taxis pointed to a dense "gray jungle" not far away.

"The houses by the river... are all factories?" Li looked up.

"Well, Wangdu is the best among the cities in the archipelago in all aspects. The number of merchants, workers, church believers and ordinary people is far more than that of Azure Fort, and the embassy facilities are much more luxurious." Speaking of the words of Taxis There was a faint sense of pride, "During the stay, I will prepare butlers and servants for you to ensure that you can enjoy the most comfortable hospitality."

After a few days of recuperation, the girl's injuries have healed to a great extent, and her mental state has also recovered a lot. Apart from a little calmness in her eyes, she seems to have returned to the radiant appearance when she entered the city.

But other members of the jury were not so lucky.

These days they have been hiding in the cabin, and they rarely even come out to show their faces.

The rest formed a tacit understanding, and every time three meals were delivered to the door of the room, no one would take the initiative to mention this matter.

Xia Fan noticed that the closer to Xila, the more turbid the river under his feet-the large number of factories built along the river can certainly bring a lot of wealth to the capital, but they obviously also have a lot of impact on the surrounding ecology. I just don't know if there is any magic in the church that can solve the pollution, otherwise this place will follow in the footsteps of the fog city sooner or later.

Two hours later, the Baisha docked firmly at the Wangdu Wharf.

The church, which had already been notified, even set up a dedicated channel to facilitate the Eastern Ambassador's disembarkation.

"Taksis, you are finally back." The person who came forward to greet her was an adult dragonborn, about forty years old, with a square face and a sense of majesty. He was wearing a gold-rimmed red robe exclusive to the church, and a tall crown hat on his head.

"Sir, this subordinate has insulted the mission and failed to bring back the Son of the Holy Spirit." Taxis knelt down on one knee, showing a rare look of guilt.

"I have basically understood the situation. It's not your fault that the enemy did their calculations with their minds. Lord Xia Fan?" He smiled and stretched out his hand, "Welcome to the city of Hila. I am the head of the Hera judging group, the red priest Sedaro Bava. Your heroic deeds in Azure Fort, Let the church up and down be excited. The reception department has prepared the villa in the west of the city, and it is now available for occupancy.”

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Xia Fan shook hands.

"Captain, why is it west of the city?" Taxis asked a little puzzled, "Shouldn't the foreign affairs area be in the south of the city? It's also closer to the cathedral..."

"The environment in the west of the city is secluded and the houses are spacious, which is more suitable for guests from afar to rest. And..." He paused, "Recently, the foreign affairs area is very restless, and even the mage representatives have increased the number of trips. The Church does not want the Eastern Ambassador got involved."

"Is that so..." Taksis Nunu raised her lips, and didn't continue to think about it, "Then I'll take them there."

"No need." Sedaro clapped his hands, and a group of luxury carriages slowly drove into the pier, "I arranged for someone to pick you up, you'd better return to the cathedral with me."

"Captain, but..." Taksis raised her brows.

"Your Excellency the Pope is very concerned about this matter, and my task is to bring you back to the church as soon as possible." Sedaro said earnestly.

"It's okay, you can go." Xia Fan took the initiative to say, "After all, the business is important, and it won't be too late to come back after you finish your work."

Seeing this, Taxis could only accept, "I understand."

After a while, the carriage carried Xia Fan and others away from the dock area.

"Let's go." The smile on Sedaro's face disappeared completely, "Fly."

After speaking, he turned into a dragon and flew up from the spot.

Taxis hurriedly followed, and she heard a trace of solemnity from the other party's tone, "The situation of the church... isn't it good?"

"It's more than bad." Saidaro said in a deep voice, "If it wasn't for the fact that you were traveling with the ambassador, His Majesty would have considered recruiting you back in advance. When you get to the cathedral, you must think carefully and answer the rest of the red-clothed questions carefully. Priest's inquiry."

"I see," she nodded slowly.

...

The cathedral is right in the heart of Scilla.

As the headquarters of the Church of Hera, it has been expanded several times in the past two hundred years, and it is now the most majestic building in the capital, not only covering an area of ​​over a thousand acres, but also using metal materials in the building for the first time, making it The height of the main tower reached an astonishing twenty-five feet, and it was undoubtedly the most eye-catching fortress in a city with only three or four floors.

Landing on the platform outside the cathedral, the two changed back to their original form and walked forward quickly. After passing through layers of checkpoints, Taxis once again stepped into the Sun Palace after a long absence.

This is a typical vaulted tower, and the colored glazed high windows introduce sunlight into the room, which is concentrated in the center of the ground and converges into a huge spot of light. With the gold-inlaid patterns carved on the slate, it gives people the illusion that the sun is right under them.

The high-ranking priests and His Majesty the Pope stood on the platform on the second floor, and Taxis had to look up to see their faces.

"Taksis Yongyi pays homage to Your Majesty." The girl followed the church etiquette meticulously. She knelt on the ground respectfully, touching the sun pattern on the ground three times with her forehead, and then said solemnly.

"May the light of Hera shine on you forever." Pope Pella IV said leisurely.

Taxis stood up, waiting for the inquiry from the church's senior management.

"We don't think there is a problem with the inference that the demons in Azure Fort are related to mages," said a middle-aged woman who asked the first question, "Information shows that this demon incident is more like a special spellcasting, the problem is that it did not originate from Necromancy, on the contrary, is somewhat similar to oriental sorcery. Judge Yongyi, I wonder if you have thoroughly investigated the Eastern Mission and the group to confirm that they have nothing to do with this matter?"
