Heavenly Dao Formula

Hearing this, Xia Fan immediately stood up and cupped his hands towards Fang Xiandao, "Brother Fang, I have something important to do first, and I will honor the promise when I am done."

"It's okay, just go about your business."

After seeing the three of them off, Fang Xiandao always felt that something was wrong.

He pinched his fingers and counted, but failed to find anything unusual.

What went wrong?

"Huh, Qianzhi is full." The little girl raised her head at this moment, and let out a sigh of satisfaction, "Sure enough, it was the right choice to come to find the young master."

Humph, make it sound like you have a choice. If the old lady hadn't stopped me, you would have been ordered to break my leg. Fang Xiandao threw her a handkerchief, "Wipe your mouth, the oil is all over your nose."

"oh."

"Go back when you're full. If the calculation doesn't work, I'll make another divination later..."

"Is the guest officer not eating yet?" Seeing him standing up, Xiao Er greeted him immediately with a smile, "I'll bring you the bill right away."

"What? The bill?" Fang Xiandao was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized what the problem was.

That guy Xia Fan left without paying the bill!

This meal was obviously invited by the other party to come out to eat, so why did he forget it? !

...

"This monster was found by the sea?" Xia Fan asked as he walked, "Isn't it a mermaid with a clean tail on the lower body?"

"What's going on in your head, half-man, half-fish? Can you see it? Can it have something to do with beauty?" Li gave him a disgusted look, "This person obviously came here by boat, and the first thing he found was the monster. Fishermen reported that there was a strange boat docked by the sea."

"Where is this monster now?"

"I didn't see it, but according to Wei Wushuang, the demon has been imprisoned in the dungeon of the Privy Council Mansion."

After listening to the story of the fox demon, Xia Fan finally knew why she came to him in such a hurry.

After the battle of Dongsheng Kingdom, the staff of the school department disappeared, but the staff of the other two departments were still in Fuchu. At that time, it was Wei Wushuang who was staying in the command department, and he was obviously inferior in terms of official position and rank. Therefore, when the fishermen came to the door, the news was reported by the guard to Xue Zhigeng, who was in charge of the recording department.

Fortunately, the door guard also kept an eye out, and then notified Wei Wushuang separately, only then did Li and Shanhui come to the door.

Obviously, the right to handle this matter must be seized as soon as possible, otherwise the monster might be buried in the ground one day later.

Back in the mansion, Xia Fan rushed directly to the dungeon, but unexpectedly bumped into Xue Zhigeng at the door.

"Why is Master Xia acting in such a hurry? Could it be that he also heard the news of the demon?"

"That's right." At this point, he didn't need to cover up anymore. "Since someone has caught the demon, the command department will naturally take over and deal with it. I'm just here to perform my duty."

"As expected of Mr. Xia, I admire his conscientiousness." Xue Zhigeng's answer surprised Xia Fan, and he couldn't even tell whether the other party was sarcastic or flattering. "I have already imprisoned the demon, Lord Xia can interrogate him at any time."

"In that case, let's do it now."

The two walked into the depths of the dungeon together. In front of the cell at the end, Xia Fan saw the monster imprisoned by iron chains.

"Woo... woo..." Seeing someone approaching, the demon began to struggle desperately. It's a pity that both hands and feet were locked to the wooden frame, and the mouth was blocked by the linen cloth, so he couldn't even make a sound.

"This monster is really strange. Except for the ears and hair color, everything else is very similar to a human." Xue Zhigeng said solemnly, "Don't be fooled by her."

Xia Fan was calm on the surface, but there was already a shocking wave in his heart.

what did he see

A goblin with pointed ears!

Or... sprites.

No wonder he thought so, it was entirely because the other party had all the characteristics of an elf, such as the long gray and white wavy hair, emerald green eyes, and the iconic long ears that opened to the sides.

She is about 1.5 to 6 meters tall. She is dressed in a thin linen dress and has no shoes on her feet. She can only stand on the ground by propping up her toes when she is locked. In such a short time, her legs were already trembling slightly, and her ten delicate toes lost their blood color.

In addition, he also noticed that there were obvious bloodstains on the other party's wrist and ankle, as if he had worn some jewelry but was forcibly removed.

With a cautious attitude, Xia Fan did not express his guess, "Master Xue, can you pick off the cloth?"

"It's no problem to take it off, but the other party is a demon after all, if you use natural magic..."

"You and I are both working in the Privy Council, so there is no reason to be afraid of a monster."

"Master Xia is right." Xue Zhigeng coughed twice, and called the jailer, "Give me the gag cloth."

The moment the cloth was taken off, Xia Fan heard a long series of incomprehensible words. Although the pronunciation and intonation seemed familiar, he couldn't discern the meaning of these words at all.

For the first time, he realized, he had encountered a communication barrier.

The language spoken by this person is completely different from that of the six continental countries.

Xia Fan could only intuitively feel that the other party was angry, uncomfortable, anxious, and... wronged.

The woman began to choke up as she spoke, and finally burst into tears.

"Unlock the chain, don't hang him up." Xia Fan rubbed his forehead.

"But she's a demon—"

"An old lady on the street with a cane is more threatening than her. Isn't there a cage?" He looked at the jailer. "Also, what did she have on her when she was sent in? Still on her, do you understand?"

"Little, little one understands." The jailer hurriedly bowed.

"Master Xue, take a step to speak?" Then Xia Fan tilted his head towards Xue Zhigeng.

"please."

The two walked to a corner, Xia Fan cleared his throat, and spoke first, "This monster... is unusual. If I guess correctly, she should be from overseas, and the language she uses is also Fanyu."

"I agree." Xue Zhigeng nodded.

"As far as I know, some overseas countries don't regard demons as scourges. If they are handled rashly, it may cause diplomatic problems. I need to bring her back to the villa and let Her Royal Highness make a decision—on foreign affairs, the royal family's eyes Always more precise."

"Master Yixia's."

Xia Fan was startled, is that all right? He obviously prepared a bunch of rhetoric, everything from rituals to soldiers, but he didn't expect that none of them came into use.

When did the recording department work so well?

"I understand Master Xia's thinking," Xue Zhi said more seriously, "Monster, if you leave out those obviously deformed places, it might not be a new experience. What's more, this monster doesn't even have any stray hairs, so it can be regarded as a You must be a top-ranking monster. But you still have to be more careful, don't let her hurt... cough... Her Royal Highness."

Xia Fan twitched the corner of his mouth, what kind of top understanding is this?

"In addition... Mr. Xia, we did have some unpleasantness before, but it was all a misunderstanding." Xue Zhigeng continued, "It is mainly because Mr. Wen is targeting you, and I was forced to do it as a last resort. Hey... Now that he's gone, I can say it, I hope you don't mind."
