Heavenly Dao Formula

Three days later, according to the guidance of the green shuttle, Ai Li finally found the floating tree boat in the vast sea.

The moment she got close to the tree boat, she saw many guards pointing their longbows at her - this is not surprising, the islanders have already become frightened birds, for fear that what the green shuttle is carrying is not compatriots, but heavily armed iron knights or witcher.

When she climbed out of the cabin, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ai Li, where have you been these few days?" A man ran out from the crowd and pulled her up to the dock in surprise and joy, "I couldn't find you anywhere, so I thought you couldn't figure it out—— "

"Did you throw yourself into the sea? I'm not that stupid... The enemy is alive and well, how could I commit suicide." Ai Li said helplessly. This person is Haim Sharman, and she has been a partner since she was a child. When World Island was torn apart, he was the one who braved the gunfire and brought himself onto the tree boat.

The whereabouts of her family members are still unknown.

"Then where did you go, why didn't you tell me?"

"Actually, I went to the Western Continent." Speaking of this, Airi smiled a little, "If I want to tell you, you will definitely hang around. If there is any accident along the way, wouldn't it be the two of us Everyone is going to be unlucky?"

"The Western Continent..." Haim pondered for a while, "Could it be the place mentioned in the book you forced me to read?"

"Haha, do you still remember?"

"How could you forget it? I said I didn't want to read it, but you were about to whip me with a cane. The result...how is it?"

"It's a little different from the description in the book, but the harvest is not bad!" Airi said excitedly, "It is indeed completely different from the empire across the sea, and it has not been influenced by the Pope. The local lord is a princess, She not only took me in, but also agreed to my docking request! Compared with the imperial people, they really prefer to negotiate deals, and because of their profound background, they will not be so aggressive in their actions. The description in the book is correct! "

"In other words, we can get a supply opportunity?"

"That's right!" Airi grabbed his shoulder and shook vigorously, "Where is the high priest? I want to tell the priest the news!"

...

"Are you Airi Moonlight Polo?"

On the high tree platform, the voice of the high priest is as sweet as a clear spring. "I've heard about the Polo clan, but please don't be too sad. We are not the only ones who managed to escape from the tree boat. Perhaps your clansmen will survive on other tree boats."

"Thank you for your reassurance. I have always believed so firmly." Airi raised her head and looked squarely at High Priest Senia.

The islanders do not have a king handed down from generation to generation. Their lives revolve around the tree spirits, and the nurturers and guardians of each tree spirit are elders. As the World Island continues to expand, there are more and more elders. In order to coordinate the relationship between the various families, the islanders will elect nine high priests from among the elders to form a joint parliamentary body to discuss the affairs of the World Island.

And this elegant and noble woman in front of her is not only the elder of Noah Shuzhou, but also one of the nine high priests.

"I heard that you just came back from the Western Continent and brought us good news. Is this really the case?"

"It's absolutely true." Ai Li was waiting for this moment. She took a deep breath and fully narrated what she had seen and heard in Jinxia City. "At least there, I didn't see any trace of the enemy."

"Thanks to the mother of the earth, there is finally a pure land that the empire has not touched." Senia folded her hands on her chest and closed her eyes slightly for a moment, "Since there is an opportunity for trading, let Noah change to the route of the western continent. "

"My lord priest, a place without an imperial flag may not necessarily be a pure land." A middle-aged man in a white robe and a tree-like hat touched his chest and said, "You heard it too, Miss Airi was treated as The arrest of a different species proves that no non-human race is still welcome among the people of the Western Continent. What I am worried about is that if they reach an agreement with the enemy, our situation will be very dangerous."

Airi knew this person, he was the patriarch of the Shaman family, Pang Ting Yongge Shaman, who was very famous on the Noah tree boat.

"Your Excellency Xia Fan explained this to me..."

"Wait a minute, is Your Excellency Xia Fan?" Senia asked.

"According to my observation, he should be the chief executive officer of the princess." Airi replied according to her own understanding - after all, the lord has such a person who has an overview of the overall situation, "He said that the hostility among the people is caused by a wrong propaganda , they have begun to reverse this situation. In any case, this point will not affect the attitude and decision-making of the upper level."

"Beginning to reverse is equal to not being reversed." Pang Ting said, "What's more, the attitude of a lord does not express the same is true of other lords. In case the surrounding lords do not agree with her ideas, because of our affairs, they will be punished. Squeeze, how long can she last even if she is a princess?"

Ai Li was about to refute, but was stopped by the high priest's hand.

"Your Excellency's concern is not unreasonable." Senia said in a calm tone, "Ai Li, when you landed, did you notice how many ships were docked on their shore, and how many of these ships were warships? ?”

"This..." Ai Li sank her heart and thought about it carefully, "Master Priest, it seems that their pier is empty, and no large sea ships are docked. As for the floating on the coast, they are all fishing boats the size of green shuttles. .”

"Then we stop off the coast and conduct transactions through the green shuttle, do you still think it is dangerous?" Senia looked at the Shaman patriarch, "Not every lord has the ability to threaten the tree boat, let alone we do We need a lot of supplies. After running for so many days, everyone is very tired. If we continue to restrict food rations and do not have foreign enemies to chase us down, we will collapse ourselves. If you doubt Ai Li’s statement, we can send a team to investigate first Team, confirm the situation in the offshore area before proceeding."

"You are right." Pang Ting said frankly, "I am indeed worrying too much."

"Then it's not too late..."

"My lord priest, I still have something to say!" Ai Li gritted her teeth, knowing that if she didn't say anything now, it would be difficult to speak again later. "I think Shuzhou should encourage everyone to go out, see the outside world, learn their language and technology, instead of living around the tree spirit forever! This discussion may be an opportunity to change the status quo of the islanders!"

Before she finished speaking, the patriarch shouted, "This is absolutely impossible!"

This time it wasn't just him, the rest of the audience also showed worried and dignified expressions.

"Why?" Airi didn't want to give up.

"Do you know why the enemies on the other side of the sea always want to destroy the World Island?" The patriarch's tone contained deep pain, "Even if it is to launch one war after another, they will not hesitate? It is because we have tried to go out!"

Ai Li was startled, "What do you mean?"

"The root of it lies in our blood." Pang Ting shook his head, "little girl, you don't know what the blood of the islanders means. Anyone who combines with the islanders of the world will give birth to the descendants of the islanders. It is a terrible thing for the Pope. Once the fusion is released, the proportion of islanders will increase until there are no ordinary people left! A protracted war - they don't accept surrender, they just want to enslave all the people of the World Island, or kill them all!"

Ai Li opened her mouth, but couldn't answer a word for a long time.

It never occurred to her that there was such a reason behind the war.

"So it's not that we close ourselves, but that no one wants us to go out. The rulers of the Western Continent have not yet had a similar awareness, and may not take us seriously. But when they find a problem, the means of treating us will never How much better than the empire!" Pang Tingchang sighed, "Living under the blessing of the tree spirit is the only way to protect us."
