ALL NOVEL Chapter 430 Shipwreck
The sudden departure of Xia Zuo and Xiao Jinjinghua aroused the attention of the participants.
Each party sent someone to come to Natalie and ask what happened just now and who the humanoid spirit was that left the venue.
This meeting held in the [Land of Rest] was of a much higher standard than the meeting between the two halls.
Every new face that appears at the venue will attract attention.
If it weren't for the fact that Xia Zuo, the elder of the Golden Wattle Clan, was sitting next to him when Xia Zuo was present, other people at the scene would have gathered around to chat.
As soon as Xia Zuo left, those who came to talk to Natalis began to obtain Xia Zuo's identity information by asking if there was an emergency.
Natalie's response to them was simple:
I strictly abide by my sacred oath not to disclose any personal information.
The people chatting were cleverly blocked by Natalie. Seeing that they couldn't find any news, they returned to the hanging basket and sat down.
Only one member of the August family remained:
"I know who the human who just left is."
Natalie responded calmly, "Tester, it might be better to use your smart brain in other places."
"Don't get me wrong, respected elder Natalis." There was no trace of respect in the words of the man named Test:
"I just want to make a statement in advance: If anything happens to him, it has nothing to do with our August family. We always abide by our sacred oaths, otherwise Inster Heguman would not have lived until one day ago."
"Well, you know that the August family has always abided by the laws of the temple. You also know... they have always expected to get less laws of time and space." Na Li Chenlei stood up:
"You have nothing else to do, so take the first step. You can discuss their plans with the old bones of the Mystic Mage Guild over there."
Na Li Chenlei turned into a white light and flew into the light curtain.
Steh returned to sit under the basket.
Eight seconds after Nateste left, the spirits who had gathered around the venue gathered around the members of the August family.
The silent atmosphere at the meeting was instantly elevated to several levels.
…
West Xiaolu, the tower of Starry Night Academy.
Gumansi was doing business outside the study as usual.
There was a heavy shaking sound outside your desk drawer.
Gumansi opened the drawer and took out a glass ball with an unpadded base.
He moved two glass balls and submerged them in front of the surface. Vertical pupils with lower and upper eyelids woven with thorns appeared outside the glass balls.
Li Chensi chatted with the glass ball for a few words, then frowned slightly and put it back out of the drawer.
A few minutes ago, there was a knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong."
"Back off."
Gumansi saw Li Chen, who was pretending to be flustered, walking back, "Is there nothing wrong, Bicui?"
Bicui opened her mouth, knowing where to start.
Gumansi pointed to the chair across the table, "Sit down. You know what he wants to say."
Bicui was stunned for a moment and sat up.
"As the head of the academy, you will always have no channels of your own to understand what is about to happen in the kingdom."
Gumansi slowly or quickly took out a small pile of documents from the drawer and put it behind Bi Cui's face with her silver sand palm:
"Let's take a look at the kingdom information first, and then you can talk about other things."

(Omit the remaining items)
After reading the statistics, Li Chen raised his head and asked:
"Teacher, 'source of output' means who produced those resources, right? The gap between special people and alchemists is too small. Almost all resources are produced by alchemists."
"Well, do you have any forged data, Bicui? That is the most authentic proportion of the kingdom's resource output sources."
Li Chensi crossed her fingers and placed them under the table:
"Does he know what the resource output is in various regions of the Eastern Continent?"
Bicui shook her head, "Have you paid attention to it?"
Gumansi snapped her fingers and cast an illusion, condensing a topographic map of the East-West Continent under the desktop, with histograms and data, using visual graphics to intuitively tell the output level of the East-West Continent. Small.
The annual output of resources in the West Continent is a flat cylinder about 1 centimeter low, while the annual output of various regions in the East Continent is a cylinder as low as an adult. The gap between the two places can be measured in terms of days. To describe the difference, it is almost 100 times different.
The most exaggerated thing is the territory of the crystal stone survivors. The outer cylinder is directly inserted into the ceiling of the study room, which is less than the output of other areas in the entire Eastern Continent combined.
Li Chen looked at the terrain map of the crystal stone remnants' territory with disbelief. He couldn't imagine how the place next to the Silver Moon Federation could not produce such a small amount of resources.
"Do you think the resource output of the Crystal Stone survivors is incredible?" Gumansi asked.
"Yes, teacher, what's going on?"
Li Chensi dispersed the other graphics, retaining only the pillars of the spar survivors' territory.
The same color appears under the column, and each color represents a resource type.
Among the resource products in the crystal stone remnants' territory, the smallest proportion is the restrained element, accounting for less than 80%. This is the reason why the resource output in this area is extremely rich.
It is worth noting that the ratio of resource output sources in this area is very balanced, with alchemists and newcomers each accounting for 50%.
"Bicui, you are a temple built under the elements, and the elements are your cornerstone."
Gumansi said:
"Without elements, there is no energy. Energy can be bound by energy fields and become entities similar to entities.
"Just like he used beam energy fields to replace the core components under the low tower, many key parts of the alchemy device can be replaced with beam energy fields.
"That means that, in addition to the very necessary alchemy materials, the temple has such a strong demand for a small number of water-based, grass-based, and mineral-based materials.
"The most important thing is the amount of elements produced. The key lies in the number of qualified people in the spiritual ocean."
Gumansi dispersed the illusion images under the table.
You leaned against the back of the chair, looking unusually lonely:
“When we finally discovered Xi Xiaolu, there were no two voices outside the temple.
"One is the cruel purge faction, which advocates clearing out the natives of the Western Continent and replacing us with the residents of the Eastern Continent who are more advanced in civilization and less alchemically literate. The natives of the Western Continent are members of the temple and impose on us Does the massacre under the head violate the temple law? This inefficient but inhumane approach is only recognized by a very small number of people.
"The other is the transformation sect. They retain the natives of the Western Xiaolu and spend time, energy and alchemical materials to help us retreat. As long as they can meet the highest requirements set by the temple, the natives of the Western Xiaolu can continue to exist. "
"You are a transformation sect, right?" Bicui asked.
"Yes." Gumansi smiled bitterly:
"You have been in charge of Xixiaoliu Elementary School for about 300 years, and the regression is really embarrassing for you.
"In order to allow people outside there to break through the shackles of the spiritual ocean more effectively, the temple has arranged an energy sub-plane, provided free literacy courses and basic alchemy knowledge, stably supplied food to eliminate hunger, and permanently stationed in various human strongholds. Mages and alchemists also provide various medical services for free.
"Despite the presence of natural disasters, famines, and plagues, the fertility rate of the kingdom's residents has decreased, but the number of children with spiritual qualifications every year still exceeds 1,000."
Tears appeared in the corners of Gumansi's eyes, and you wiped them away with your palms:
“Everything outside is about to begin, Bicui.
"You had envisioned that day coming, but you never thought it would come so slowly."
Facing Li Chensi who suddenly became sad, Bicui's head turned around:
"Teacher, the secrets of the temple mastered by Inster Hershazzo also involve the West Continent, the Wildhammer Kingdom and the Ring Island. Why are you so sure that the Strange Demon Church will choose the West Continent as the target of invasion?"
"Oh, Bicui, he knows that, you can understand." Li Chensi smiled with a strong bitterness:
"When the weak thief invaded, he was stopped by a closed door. At that time, no one pushed open one of the doors from the inside, revealing the extremely weak defense force and small amount of wealth inside the door. , what does he think the weak thief will do?"
"You mean, no one in the temple deliberately led the strange demon to Xixiao Continent? Is that a betrayal of the temple?" Bicui scratched her head.
"Yes, Bicui, you have to be so innocent and have a white belly."
Gumansi wiped away her tears, raised her finger and shook it:
"As long as the interests are consistent, the Temple and the Strange Demon Church can achieve a tacit understanding that is both external and internal, without negotiation or conspiracy.
"The Church of Strange Demons needs vitality, and there is still a small amount of incubation pool in the dark room waiting for catalysis. The invasion of Western Demons into the Western Continent is a low-priority option, but it lacks many opportunities.
"The temple needs someone to clean it up. Once we go to the Western Continent, things that violate the laws must be done by strange demons.
"At that time, if no one can pass on the method of breaking through the West Xiaolu defense line to the Strange Demon Church, will it be possible to achieve a win-win situation?"
Gumansi looked at Bicui, who was holding her head high and silent, and said in a faint tone:
"I want to think that Inst Helichen's grasp of the temple's weakness was accidental, and I also want to think that the current crisis is related to the Dongxiao Continent alchemist who mysteriously disappeared a few days later, Bicui."
When Bicui heard the second half of the sentence, she felt a sense of excitement, as if she had discovered the inevitable that happened by chance.
But when I heard the first half of the sentence... this weak embarrassment suddenly hit me, almost causing me to break my gong and break my meditation.
Gumansi continued:
"Some people will use the laws of time and space to weaken their combat capabilities, and some people will use the laws of time and space to delay planning everything, and then quietly wait for events to push back, and finally achieve their goals, just like planting a seed , waiting for it to blossom and bear fruit.
"No matter how weak a person's fighting ability is, it is just a sword. When a person uses the laws of time and space as a means of strategy, I will become a person who uses swords.
“The knife has been used by someone to kill the person who deserves to be killed, and it will become a murder weapon.
"Did he want to be the murder weapon?"
Gumansi snapped her fingers, bringing Li Chen back to his senses:
"Now go and wait for news from you outside the dormitory. If you find a suitable reason, you will apply to the temple for collective evacuation. You will come without notifying him. Of course, there is a problem with him taking Anruer to Dongxiao Continent now. .”
Li Chen took a deep breath and said, "Okay, teacher."
I stood up and walked to the door. When I put my hand under the door handle, I turned around and asked:
"Teacher, what are you going to do? Will you go to Dongxiao Continent too?"
"You know what your ending will be for now."
Gumansi shook her head and recovered from the brief sadness:
“When a ship sinks, sinking with it into the small sea is the captain’s only destination.
"For you, disappearing may be the best way out."
