Chapter 614: A Lonely Figure in the Gray Mist and Strong Wind (Thanks to Dong Xian for the reward!)
The next stop is... Tilan sat in the shuttle thinking about the last two remaining singers, 'Poisonous Dream Scorpion' Yahmose and 'Rin Flower Sparrow' Catherine. After thinking for a while, she chose to visit 'Poisonous Dream Scorpion' Yahmose first.
Hittite star region, 'Yaland-α' star, Jinquanxiang Palace.
"In other words, the singer of Qi Yehua finally came to see me?" Inside the palace, Ahmose leaned back on the golden chair, gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, listening to the report from the person in front of him.
"Yes, the other party has sent a formal letter of visit." A man covered in gold powder bent over and answered, with a golden lock necklace around his neck.
"You come so late, are you not confident or you don't dare, hehe~" Yahmose tapped his fingers lightly on the wine glass, his wine-red eyes reflecting the lights on the water, as if he was thinking about something.
"Inol, Grey, and Masha were all convinced by her. As for Muyawati, this old man is about to be buried, so it's better not to mention him."
"Coulomb, do you think I should give her face and agree easily, or should I put forward some conditions and make this young singer bleed heavily?" she asked the man who was reporting in front of her.
"This..." Coulomb lowered his head, his voice hesitant. It was obvious that this question was not easy to answer. He couldn't figure out what Yahmos was really thinking.
"Oh, it seems you are afraid. This is also an answer." Yahmose said as he poured the wine in the glass into the pool in front of him, watching the light red wine spread in the clear water and dissipate 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 will not be as easy as at the beginning. Considering the situation if Ahmose agrees, Coulomb dare not express opposition casually. After all, he is a small figure. If he says the wrong thing, not only will there be no benefit, but it may also bring disaster.
"There's not much point in singing a different tune at this time. I don't hate her idea in the first place, I just don't like her attitude. It seems like she came to me out of necessity." Yahmose said what he was thinking. Only then did Coulomb feel more confident and he immediately agreed.
"That's right, Lord Ahmose. Heshia is so ambitious at such a young age. She even deliberately put you at the back. Isn't this an attempt to use her power to pressure you? It must not be easy for you to agree."
After that, he spoke a lot more, and became more and more fluent, without any hesitation just now.
"Okay, you can go down now. Also, keep an eye on Governor Noyan to see if he has done anything recently."
"I understand, Lord Yahemos." After saying this, Coulomb left the high platform of the Golden Spring Fragrance Palace.
The environment became quiet again. On the high platform of the palace, a clear spring flowed slowly, reflecting a faint golden light under the candlelight along the way. Occasionally, the evening breeze blew, blowing the grass and trees in the garden, and bursts of insects chirped in the night.
This is a palace not far from the city, and it was built specifically for Yahemose. The people of the Hittite star field believed that every singer was an extraordinary person chosen by fate, born noble and must be obeyed and followed. That is why, as a singer, her voice and actual influence in the star field far exceeded that of the governor of the star field.
Lying on the gorgeous bench, Yahemos looked at the clear spring water below her, thinking about the current situation of the Federation and its possible future direction. Although to the outside world, she was the kind of vulgar singer who was obsessed with money and wealth and did not hide her luxury, how many people could see through her true character and thoughts?
If most of the Seven Songstresses Alliance had not sided with Heshia, she would definitely not consider joining the other side. No matter from which perspective, this is an extremely risky and immature decision, and very idealistic.
Heshia was right. If the first person came to her, she would definitely refuse. But the situation is different now. If she refuses, not to mention whether she will be isolated, when the other people in the Seven Divas Alliance agree, her refusal will not change the situation. Instead, she will be excluded by other divas because of her wrong stance, and will face a lot of pressure in the future.
Imagine if 70% of the southern star regions responded to independence, then the Hittite star region she represented would be caught in the middle. Would it still be able to stand with the Federation? At that time, the Federation would not be able to care about her. After all, she was not a direct descendant of the central star region and could be saved or not.
Half an hour later, Yahemos stood up, placed the empty wine glass on the table beside him, and then walked to the side of the platform, looking at the prosperous city with tall buildings at the foot of the mountain not far away. At night, occasionally a few airships with flashing lights flew slowly across the night sky.
"This is an outright conspiracy. Even if you know what the other party is thinking, you can't resist it."
……
Two days later, Heshia visited the Hittite star region and met Yahemos in the Golden Spring Fragrance Palace.
"Our lovely Miss Angel is finally here today." When greeting Heshia, the singer had a smile on her face and seemed to be in a very happy mood.
"Thank you, Senior Yahemos, for your warm hospitality." As soon as Heshia got off the shuttle, she saw a large welcoming team arranged in several square formations.
The welcoming team, dressed in traditional local golden costumes, held flags with sunflower patterns and played neat military music, making it like a military parade when Tilan walked through the ranks.
After waving and nodding in thanks all the way, the girl finally walked across the long red carpet, got into the car, and left the landing point.
After arriving at the Jinquanxiang 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 beside her carefully wiped them clean so that she could directly step on the golden carved floor that looked like a work of art.
The floor carvings in the lobby of the entire hall depict magnificent scenery, including scenes of ancient fleets that have traveled across the Milky Way descending on this planet, grand engineering activities of local residents to transform the planet, and celebrations led by several singers from this star region in history.
Walking barefoot on the golden floor, Tilan felt a faint warmth, not as cool as the air in early autumn. She thought there must be a geothermal device underneath to keep the temperature high for a long time.
Passing through the front hall, Yahemos took Tilan's hand and came to the spacious and empty main hall with her and sat down. There was a rectangular pool in the middle. Clear water flowed down from the beast's mouth on the front wall and fell into the pool below. Then the excess water flowed down the mountain and irrigated the gardens and lawns along the way.
There are white marble pillars on both sides of the hall. The breeze passes through here, bringing some coolness and removing moisture from the hall, keeping it dry.
"Since Heshia has made a special trip to visit me this time, 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 things, I agree. After all, it's time to clean them up." Yahemos supported his face slightly with his fingers.
"It's just that, judging from what Masha told me, it seems like you 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 would most likely lead to her being ruined. Now she was dragging others into it. However, in her eyes, this seemed to be an obvious choice that did not need explanation.
After a moment of silence, Yahemos stopped tapping his fingers, stopped thinking, and spoke directly.
"Why should I agree with you? Can you give me a reason?"
"Yahmos doesn't have to agree. I don't mean to force him." Tilan answered sincerely, but threw the question back at the right time.
Just as Yahemos thought a few days ago, if she did not agree at this time, she would only face greater risks.
It's really tricky. This kid is not as easy to deal with as he seems. "If I agree to your offer, I will have to take a big risk. Can you make up for the loss? Don't say something high-sounding like you will definitely succeed."
"Well, if it's a personal monetary reward, I can pay it, but I think this is definitely not what Yahemos wants." Tilan thought for a while and replied.
"I want to rebuild everything in the Federation. If Yahemos also wants to leave his own mark in history and write his own chapter, this will be a great opportunity."
"History..." Yahemos murmured the answer, without immediately refusing or agreeing.
Indeed, every singer is not short of money, and she would not be so cheap as to ask Heshia for any monetary compensation. However, since she has taken such a big risk to join, she does not want to pay in vain, which goes against her consistent creed.
History, great achievements, these words are very far away, even out of reach for ordinary people, but for the singer, they are things that she can reach by standing on tiptoe. 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 I am worldly, but this is the local cultural tradition. You cannot do things without compensation, otherwise it will bring disaster to both parties."
"In that case..." Tilan thought about it.
"I will give Yahemos a personal gift." She thought for a moment, then used her finger to open up a space and took out a candlestick that looked like a flower bud. In the flower bud of the candlestick was a golden seed that seemed to be breathing.
Although the girl's movements were extremely natural and easy, they were terrifying and shocking to other people in the palace. She could just use her fingers to cut through space and take things out. If this was applied in battle, it would be no less than reaching out and taking out the opponent's heart. The principles and difficulty of the two are very similar.
Restraining his inner fear, 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 effect of stabilizing space. In other words, within the range of 500 meters of this candlestick, it is difficult for others to use space-related abilities to tear or shuttle through it."
This device was made by Tilan according to her own power and the technology of 'Gray Dust Crystal'. It was originally planned to be promoted as a new generation of product, but it was found that it was very expensive to make just one copy, and Tilan's current energy had to be used in making 'Rhythm Crystal', so this plan had to be shelved.
"Then how big is the space inside this candlestick?" This is what Yahemos was concerned about. If it was just used to hold things in a house, it would be of little use to her.
"Probably..." The girl looked around and answered.
“It should probably be enough to hold this palace.” She estimated in her mind.
After hearing this, Yahemos fell silent. It was not like she had never heard of similar space storage devices, but these could only hold a few suitcases at most, and were generally used to hide weapons and firearms, etc. This was the first time she had seen one as big as an entire palace as Tilan casually said.
"This is indeed a rare treasure." She thought about it, the grudge in her heart disappeared, and then she nodded.
"In that case, I will accept it generously. If Tilan needs my help in the future, just let me know."
Seeing the singer accepting the gift with great joy, Tilan knew that this visit was a complete success. Although some blood was lost, it didn't seem to be that expensive.
After finishing the serious conversation, the topics of their conversation became more relaxed. Yahemos invited Tilan to have lunch with him 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 is only one last stop left, to meet Catherine, the 'Rinhuajaku'.
After getting the approval of the five singers, the pressure of dealing with this somewhat spoiled singer girl was reduced a lot.
A week later, Tilan met the representative of the local traditional forces, 'Lin Huaque' Catherine, in the Baifeng Star Region.
Compared with other regions with developed commercial economies, the industries in the White Maple Star Region tend to be more traditional. For example, the most famous local "Hanqin White Maple" is a very outstanding high-end furniture material, and many wealthy people in the Federation love it. 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 and 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 top-quality materials, including a lot of T3-level essences.
These huge local traditional industries have nurtured local conservative forces, who advocate maintaining past traditional customs, do not welcome marriages with foreign residents, and also reject industries and companies invested by large corporate groups.
This is why there are very few giant companies in the Baifeng Star Region, and trade here is mostly controlled by locals.
Growing up in such an environment, 'Lin Huaque' Catherine rarely leaves the Baifeng Star Region, so she is not well-known in the outside world.
White stone, white carvings, white castle hall. After Tilan walked into such an environment, she met Catherine, the "Rin Huaque", in the castle hall.
The other party was still wearing the black, red and yellow uniform, and the scepter in his hand was turning lightly.
"You're so late, Tilan." The other party was standing on a high step with many followers beside him. They looked down at the girl approaching below.
Tracing back——
The scepter in her hand suddenly stopped and pointed at Tilan.
"My request is also very simple. People who are too weak are not qualified to make a promise. If you can defeat these four masters beside me, I will agree to join you."
As soon as the voice fell, the four people gradually walked out. Each of them was a master figure 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 a girl who was only Sequence 6 on the surface.
"Okay, I accept this test."
Tilan looked at the four people calmly with her eyes, her hands slightly opened, and a faint halo gradually appeared behind her. Then the space where the six people were located seemed to change location, and they were located on a hill full of gray moon rocks, with a cold wind blowing.
In front of the four people's vision, the girl's hair color turned into silver-gray. 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 fill the sky, forming a magnificent and strange world. Thousands of birds rush out from the whirlpools, they are noisy and screaming, circling and soaring in the sky, like heavy dark clouds that are about to sink. The singer's mental world combines with her own natural strength, bringing about amazing changes.
Now, it is time for the four Sequence 7 Master Warriors to begin the challenge. 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 would be more handsome and more in line with the image of an angel.
