Heavenly Dao Formula

Senia looked at Pang Ting in surprise. At the very beginning, the patriarch was quite pessimistic about whether Jinxia could accept the Shijidao people, but now he thinks about the problem on the premise of continuing the relationship between the two parties.

"Do you think I can't feel the changes in the tree boat?" Pang Ting smiled bitterly, "If there is a place to settle down, no one wants to choose a life of wandering. Those children in my family, those who stayed on land It’s almost time to go home.”

"What do other families think?"

"I haven't asked them for their opinions, but as long as you nod, they should all follow your ideas. After all, this matter will not damage their real interests-the children can be sent to Jinxia, ​​but the adults will suffer at most."

"What about Noah's condition?" Senia pondered.

"There are reserves of all kinds of materials, which can support a long-distance voyage for about half a year. The three-month rest is for the tree boat to set off at any time." Pang Ting replied, "The only problem is the morning and evening sea. There has never been anyone I have been to the waters there, and what will happen there is still a blank in the plan. But the good news is that the ships of the empire will not follow them."

"...I understand." The high priest was silent for a while, "I have to talk to the director of Jinxia City about this, and it can be regarded as reminding them that the threat of the empire is close at hand."

"Of course, but if possible, don't spread the news."

"I know." Senia showed a sad look. Perhaps some escaped tree boats had fallen into the hands of the enemy, but they couldn't do anything.

She looked up at the night sky—not a single gleam of star could be seen in the chaotic twilight.

After escaping World Island, she should have gotten used to wandering.

But for some reason, Senia felt a bit of reluctance at this time.

...

Xia Fan did not expect that the High Priest of the Elf would visit him in the middle of the night.

When he heard the guard's announcement, he was stunned for a while, but the scrutiny of the fox behind him quickly made him react, "Ahem, please go to the living room, I will change my clothes and go."

Li threw his coat to him, "It seems that she must have something very urgent."

"I think so."

"Don't worry, I won't eavesdrop."

Xia Fan rolled his eyes silently, he seemed to have heard such words before - it is impossible to eavesdrop on purpose, but there is nothing to do if you happen to hear it.

Who made the fox demon have a keen sense of hearing?

"You might as well go with me, it's quite cold on the roof in winter."

"Who said I could squat on the roof!" Li's tail stood up.

"All right, all right, I was wrong, do you want to come?"

"...It's okay to go and see you."

Xia Fan couldn't help chuckling, "Then let's go."

Entering the living room, he found that apart from Kaisenia, there was also Pang Ting, the patriarch of the Sharman family, among the visitors.

And the looks of the two made him realize that the visit might not bring good news.

"Good evening, I hope I didn't disturb your rest." Senia nodded in greeting.

Xia Fan cupped his hands in return, "It's okay, you two must have something important to tell. Did something happen on the tree boat?"

This is also what he has been worried about. After all, not all elves are as cheerful and outgoing as Airi, and there will inevitably be disputes and frictions during the fusion period.

"Not really, but the problem is far more troublesome than this." Senia recounted the discovery of the dock area and her own deduction in detail, "If Noah can go south temporarily, those chasing soldiers should not approach Jinxia's coastline. Of course, the risk of Noah being discovered is not high, after all, he is sailing against the ocean current, and the enemy will not do such a thankless search without a definite target."

Xia Fan's attention was completely attracted by another matter.

"Do you think there may be another escaped tree boat in this area of ​​the East China Sea? Is there a way to confirm or contact them?"

Senia was stunned, "My lord, if it really exists, it is very likely that it has fallen into the enemy's hands. Otherwise, the people above would not have escaped in the green shuttle."

"But you also said that those people who plundered the World Island wanted the seeds of the tree spirit and the elves who could manipulate the seeds, right? This means that they will not kill all the people on the tree boat."

The high priest covered his mouth, "Do you mean—"

"Of course we tried to save them." Xia Fan said righteously, "Didn't we sign a covenant to deal with the threat of the empire together?"

Another tree boat means another batch of new elves!

As we all know, the sea area to the east of Jinxia is naturally owned by Jinxia. As for whether it is 12 nautical miles or 120 nautical miles, there is no law of the sea convention anyway, and it is obviously up to Jinxia to decide.

How can there be such a cheap thing to rob one's own population in one's own territory?

"But with all due respect—" Pang Ting interjected, "The opponent has a sea-going ship, and you don't have the ability to take the initiative."

"But you have." Xia Fan's thoughts turned sharply, "Noah's tree boat must be moved, but not to the south, but to cooperate with Jinxia. As for the specific plan, it depends on the specific information. So the question is Going back to the original point, first of all we have to grasp the situation as much as possible, including how many enemies there are and where they are.”

He paused, "If the opponent is the main fleet coming out in full force, it is indeed a bit difficult to deal with. It is wise to avoid the sharp edge. But it is only a pursuit force, and it should not be helpless. Use the tree spirit to face the artillery enemy For Noah, there must be a certain risk, but you two don’t want to just give up those captured companions? As long as we cooperate with each other and fight side by side, there may be a chance for this matter.”

Senia bit her lip, the "we" made her unable to say a word for a while.

Originally, she just wanted to keep some elves in Jinxia City and use the covenant to allow Xia Fan to keep these young people, but she didn't expect that he would directly treat those refugees who fell into the hands of the empire as the objects of the contract.

It is true that the covenant was indeed signed in this way, but as the ruler, she certainly knows that the power to interpret the clauses often lies with the high-ranking person, not to mention that Xia Fan's idea is not only to resist and protect, but also to take the initiative to fight .

Senia and Pang Ting glanced at each other, and the latter leaned over slightly and stopped talking.

This is an expression left to her decision.

The high priest stood up, bowed his chest to Xia Fan, and then solemnly said, "I thank you on behalf of the residents of World Island. No matter what the result is, Noah Shuzhou will remember this kindness. What we need to do next, Please do so."

Xia Fan didn't shirk, "Is there a way to communicate between the tree boats?"

"The tree spirits are independent individuals and have nothing to do with each other. However, the seeds born by the tree spirits can resonate with themselves." Senia replied, "Airi was able to find Noah in the sea precisely because of her. The manipulative green shuttle comes from the fruit of Noah."

Xia Fan immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words, "So using the green shuttle that was caught, we also have a chance to find the source of its birth."

"Exactly." The high priest nodded.
