Chapter 614 A lone figure in the gray fog and wind (Thanks to Dong Xian for the reward!)
The next stop is... Tilan sat in the shuttle and thought about the last two remaining singers, 'Poison Dream Scorpion' Yahmos and 'Rin Flower Bird' Catherine. After thinking for a while, she chose to visit 'Poison Dream Scorpion' Yahmos first.
Hittite Star Region, 'Yaland-α' Star, Jinquanxiang Palace.
"In other words, the singer of Qi Yehua finally came to see me?" In the palace, Yahmos leaned on the golden chair, gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, listening to the report of the person in front of him.
"Yes, the other party has sent a formal letter of visit." A man covered in gold powder leaned over to answer, and there was a golden lock necklace around his neck.
"You came so late, are you not confident, or are you afraid, hehe~" Yahmos tapped his fingers on the wine glass lightly, his wine-red eyes reflected the lights on the water, thinking.
"Inol, Grey, and Masha were all convinced by her. As for Muyawati, this old senior is about to be buried, so let's not talk about him."
"Cullen, do you think I should give her face and easily agree, or should I put forward some conditions and make this young singer bleed a lot?" She asked the man who was reporting in front of her.
"This..." Cullen lowered his head and hesitated. It was obvious that this question was not easy to answer. He was unsure of what Yahmos was really thinking.
"Oh, it seems that you are afraid. This is also an answer." Yahmos said as he poured the wine in the cup into the pool in front of him, watching the light red wine spread in the clear water and disperse into waves of red.
Since the singer has convinced three people, that means four of the seven singers in the alliance agree to this option, and one of them abstained. If the remaining two want to refuse, the psychological pressure they face is not as easy as at the beginning. Considering the situation if Yahmose agrees, Coulomb dare not express opposition casually. After all, he is a small person. If he says the wrong thing, it will not only do no good, but also bring disaster.
"It doesn't make much sense to sing the opposite tune at this time. I don't hate her idea, but I just don't like her attitude. It seems that she came to me out of necessity." Yahmose said what he thought in his heart. Only then did Coulomb have a backbone and immediately agreed and echoed.
"That's right, Lord Yahmose, that Heshia is so ambitious at such a young age, and she deliberately put you behind. Isn't this trying to use her power to pressure others? It must not be easy to agree."
After that, he said a lot more, and became more and more fluent, without any hesitation just now.
"Okay, you go down, and also pay attention to Governor Noyan to see if he has done anything recently."
"Understood, Lord Yahemos." After saying that, Coulomb left the high platform of the Golden Spring Fragrance Palace.
The environment became quiet again. On the high platform of the palace, the spring water flowed slowly, reflecting a faint golden light under the candlelight along the way. Occasionally, the evening breeze blew, bringing up the grass and trees in the garden, and bursts of insects chirped under the night.
This is a palace not far from the city, and it was built specifically for Yahemos. The people of the Hittite star field believe that every singer is an extraordinary person chosen by fate, born noble and incomparable, and must be obeyed and followed. Therefore, as a singer, her right to speak and actual influence in the star field far exceeds that of the governor of the star field.
Lying on the gorgeous bench, Yahemos looked at the spring water below her, thinking about the current situation of the federation and the possible future direction, etc. Although from the outside world, she is the kind of vulgar singer who is obsessed with money and wealth and does not hide her luxury enjoyment, but how many people can see through her true personality and thoughts.
If most of the Seven Songstresses Alliance had not sided with Heshia, she would not have considered joining the other side. No matter how you look at it, this is an extremely risky and immature choice, and it is very idealistic.
Heshia was right. If the first one came to her, she would definitely refuse. But now the situation is different. If she refuses, let alone whether she will be isolated, when the other people in the Seven Songstresses Alliance have agreed, her refusal will not change the general trend. On the contrary, because of her wrong team, she will be excluded by other Songstresses, and will face a lot of pressure in the future.
Imagine if 70% of the star fields in the southern star region responded to independence, then the Hittite star field she represented would be caught in the middle. Can it continue to stand with the Federation? At that time, the Federation would not be able to take care of her. After all, she is not a direct descendant of the central star field forces, and can be saved or not.
Half an hour later, Yahemos stood up and put the empty wine glass on the table beside him. Then he walked to the side of the platform and looked at the bustling city with tall buildings not far away. At night, a few airships with flashing lights flew slowly in the night sky.
"This is an absolute conspiracy. Even if you know the other party's thoughts, you can't resist it."
...
Two days later, Heshia visited the Hittite star field and met Yahemos in the Golden Spring Fragrance Palace.
"Our lovely angel lady is finally here today." When greeting Heshia, the singer smiled and seemed to be in a very happy mood.
"Thank you for the warm hospitality of Senior Yahemos." Heshia got off the shuttle and saw a large welcoming team lined up in several squares.
The welcoming team dressed in local traditional golden costumes held flags with sunflower patterns and played neat military music, making Tilan look like a military parade when she walked through the team.
After waving and nodding her head to express her gratitude, the girl walked through the long red carpet, got into the car, and left the landing point.
After arriving at the Golden Spring Fragrance Palace, several maids first welcomed Heshia and asked her to take off her shoes and wash her feet in the clear spring water. Then the maid next to her carefully wiped them clean so that she could step directly on the golden carved floor that looked like a work of art.
The floor carvings in the antechamber of the entire hall depicted magnificent scenery, including scenes of ancient fleets crossing the Milky Way and landing on this planet, grand engineering activities of local residents to transform the planet, and celebrations led by several singers in this star region in history.
Walking barefoot on this golden floor, Tilan felt a faint warmth, not as cool as the air in early autumn. I think there should be a geothermal device underneath to keep it warm for a long time.
After passing through the antechamber, Yahemos took Tilan's hand and sat down with her in the wide and open main hall. There was a rectangular pool in the middle. Clear water flowed down from the mouth of the beast on the front wall and fell into the pool below. Then the excess water flowed down along the mountain to irrigate the gardens and grass along the way.
On both sides of the hall are white marble pillars. The breeze passes through here, bringing a little coolness and removing the moisture in the hall, keeping it dry.
"This time Heshia came to visit me specially, she must have a lot to say." After the two of them had a brief conversation, Yahemos took the initiative to talk about business.
"Yes." Tilan nodded.
"If you want to reform some phenomena, I agree. After all, it's time to rectify them." Yahemos supported her face with her fingers.
"However, judging from what Masha told me, you seem to want to do more than that."
"Yes." Tilan nodded again.
"..."
Yahemos was not satisfied with such a short answer. She wanted the girl to explain why she did this. After all, it was a thankless task and she was likely to be ruined. Now she had to drag others into it. But in her opinion, this seemed to be an obvious choice that did not need to be explained.
After a moment of silence, Yahemos stopped tapping her fingers and stopped thinking. Instead, she spoke directly.
"Why should I agree with you? Can you give me a reason?"
"Yamos can also refuse. I don't mean to force you." Tilan answered sincerely, but threw the question back at the right time.
Just like what Yahemos thought a few days ago, at this time, if she refused, she would only face greater risks.
It was really tricky. This child was not as simple and easy to deal with as he seemed.
"If I agree to you, I will take a big risk. Can you make up for the loss of these risks? Don't say high-sounding words like you will definitely succeed."
"Well, if it is a personal monetary reward, I can pay it, but I think that is definitely not what Yahemos wants." Tilan thought for a while and answered.
"I want to rebuild everything in the Federation. If Yahemos also wants to leave his own traces in history and write his own chapter, this will be a great opportunity."
"History..." Yahemos murmured this answer, and did not refuse or agree immediately.
Indeed, every singer is not short of money, and she would not be so cheap as to ask Heshia for any monetary reward, but since she took such a big risk to join, she did not want to pay for nothing, which violated her consistent creed.
History, great deeds, these words are very far away from ordinary people, even out of reach, but for the singer, they are things that can be reached by tiptoeing. She is indeed a little moved, but not strongly.
"Not enough." Yahemos shook his head.
"These are just promises after victory."
"What I want is a reward that is worth it even if I fail. You can say that I am very worldly, but this is the local cultural tradition. You cannot do things without reward, otherwise it will bring disaster to both parties."
"In this case..." Tilan thought for a while.
"I will give Yahemos a personal gift." She thought for a while, and directly used her fingers to open up the space and took out a candlestick that looked like a flower bud. In the candlestick bud there was a golden seed that seemed to be breathing.
Although the girl's movements were extremely natural and relaxed, it was terrifying and shocking to other people in the palace. Using fingers to open up the space and take out something, if it was used in battle, it would be no less than directly reaching out and taking out the opponent's heart. The principles and difficulties of the two are not too similar.
Resisting the horror in his heart, Yahemos looked at the flower bud candlestick in the girl's hand.
"After this seed is activated, it can create a smaller secondary space, which is often called a subspace, or a space gap. Then, with the help of this candlestick, this opened space can be connected to store and retrieve items. In addition, this candlestick also has a certain stabilizing effect on space, which means that within the range of 500 meters of this candlestick, it is difficult for others to use space-related abilities to tear and shuttle."
This tool was made by Tilan according to her own power and the technology of "Gray Dust Crystal". It was originally intended to be promoted as a new generation of products, but it was found that it was very consuming to make only one copy, and Tilan's current energy had to be used in making "Rhythm Crystal", so she had to shelve this plan.
"Then how big is the space inside this candlestick?" This is what Yahemos is concerned about. If it is just to hold the things for a house, it is of general use to her.
"Probably..." The girl looked around and then answered.
"It can probably hold this palace." She estimated in her mind.
After listening to this, Yahemos was silent. It was not that she had not heard of similar space storage devices, but these could only hold a few suitcases at most, and were generally used to hide weapons and guns. It was the first time she had seen one as big as the entire palace as Tilan casually said.
"This is indeed a rare treasure." She thought about it, and the grudge in her heart disappeared, and then nodded.
"In that case, I will accept it generously, and if Tilan needs my help in the future, just ask."
Seeing the singer accepting the gift with joy, Tilan knew that this visit was a complete success. Although she had shed some blood, it didn't seem to be that expensive.
After finishing the serious conversation, the topic of the two people became relaxed. After that, Yahemos invited Tilan to have lunch and took her to try the local specialties. In the afternoon, the two of them visited the Jinquanxiang Palace together. After staying for three days, Tilan said goodbye and left.
Now there was only one last stop left, to meet "Rin Huaque" Catherine.
After getting the approval of the five singing girls, the pressure of dealing with this somewhat spoiled singing girl was also reduced a lot.
A week later, Tilan met the representative of the local traditional forces, 'Rin Huaque' Catherine, in the White Maple Star Region.
Compared with other regions with developed commercial economy, the industries in the White Maple Star Region tend to be traditional industries. For example, the most famous 'Hanqin White Maple' in the local area is a very outstanding high-end furniture material, which is loved by many rich people in the Federation. The second is the local maple syrup industry and fishery. The former supplies many well-known giant companies, such as 'Lagetis's Candy House', and the latter also produces several kinds of peculiar extraordinary fish, such as 'Silver Scale Moonfish', 'Red Scale Cod', 'Blue Back Trout', etc. The scales and meat of these fish are all T4-level high-quality materials, and there are many T3-level essences among them.
These huge local traditional industries nourish the local conservative forces. They advocate maintaining the traditional customs of the past, do not welcome marriages with foreign residents, and also reject industries and companies invested by large group companies.
That is why there are very few giant companies in the White Maple Star Region, and most of the trade here is controlled by locals.
Growing up in such an environment, 'Rin Huaque' Catherine rarely leaves the White Maple Star Region, so she is not well-known in the outside world.
White stone, white sculptures, white castle hall, after Tilan walked into such an environment, she met 'Rin Huaque' Catherine in the castle hall.
The other party was still wearing a black, red and yellow uniform, and the scepter in her hand was turning lightly.
"You are so late, Tilan." The other party stood on a high step, with many followers beside him, and they looked down at the girl approaching below.
Tracing -
the scepter in her hand suddenly stopped and pointed at Tilan.
"My request is also very simple. Those who are too weak are not qualified to make a promise. If you can defeat the four masters beside me, I will agree to join you."
After the voice fell, the four people gradually walked out. Each of them was a master of Sequence 7, and each of them was a leader of the local faction. They represented the traditional forces of this star field. Such a test was indeed a bit beyond the scope for the girl who was only Sequence 6 on the surface.
"Okay, I accept this test."
Tilan looked at the four people calmly, opened her hands slightly, and a faint halo gradually appeared behind her. Then the space where the six people were located seemed to change the location, located on a hill full of gray moon rocks, and the cold wind blew.
In front of the four people's vision, the girl's hair color turned into silver-gray color. At this moment, she stood alone at the end of the cliff, as if it was not her who accepted the challenge, but the four brave men who were ready to break through.
Now, the sky is covered with gray fog, and strong winds and whirlpools are all over the sky, forming a magnificent and strange world. Thousands of birds are rushing out of the whirlpools. They are noisy and wild, circling and soaring in the sky, like a heavy dark cloud that is about to sink. The singer's mental world is integrated with her own talents and strength, bringing amazing changes.
Now, it is time for the four master warriors of Sequence 7 to start challenging the levels. If they fail, the "Princess" Catherine behind them will be abducted by the "Demon King" in front of them.
ps: As expected, Tilan with long silver-gray hair will be more handsome and more in line with the image of an angel.
