Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 561 Auction

"Whoo~"

Sitting on the soul guide train heading to Tiandou City, Nan Fusheng looked at the scenery outside the window and let out a sigh of relief.

In the economy class of the soul guide train, there was another person besides him.

"Hmm~ I haven't been out for a long time. I've been handling military affairs within the legion, which makes me exhausted."

Aquia, who has long, smooth blue hair and a well-proportioned figure, stretched lazily.

"Did you bring the things I asked you to bring?" Nan Fusheng said to Aqiya opposite him.

"Don't worry about me doing it." Aqiuya casually took out a list and a black card from the storage soul guide and handed them to Nan Fusheng. "This is my savings over the years. Don't squander it."

Nan Fusheng smiled slightly, "That's hard to say. After all, the thing I want to buy is not cheap. If someone were to bid against me at the auction, it would definitely cost a lot."

Yes, the main reason why Nan Fusheng chose to go to Tiandou City this time was to participate in an auction in Tiandou City. Helping Aqiya forge the four-character battle armor was just a side job.

Nan Fusheng's eyes swept through the series of auction items on the list, and finally stopped at the name of an auction item: Heart of the Ice God. This was Nan Fusheng's main goal this time.

Aquia also looked over curiously, and saw that Nan Fusheng's eyes stayed on the Heart of the Ice God. He said, "The military has been researching this thing for a long time, but they have not been able to find anything."

"But there is no doubt that this thing contains great energy. I don't know what's wrong with the military this time, otherwise this thing would never appear at the auction. If you want to buy it, then I suggest you prepare more funds."

Nan Fusheng nodded, "I know, so before I set out this time, I drew a lot of funds from the big families in Tianhai City. I think it should be enough to buy this thing."

The military force behind the Heart of the Ice God is the Central Legion, which is also the strongest legion in the Federation. Even the Sea God Legion of Vast Sea Douluo is inferior to the Central Legion in overall combat power.

At the same time, the headquarters of the Temple of War is also located in the Central Legion.

Although Nan Fusheng has many of his own people in the Central Legion, he does not want to trouble them for the Heart of the Ice God. It is always better to get it through formal procedures.

Moreover, the most important thing is that at this auction, the commander of the Central Army Group, Yu Guanzhi, might be present in person. Nan Fusheng wanted to make the other party his own, so he chose to go there in person.

After all, he is an Extreme Douluo, so we must always give him some respect.

……

The soul guide train to Tiandou City was still very boring.

Nan Fusheng casually slid the soul guide communicator and browsed the interesting stories on Douluo Continent through the "soul sound".

Soul Sound is a software on the soul guide communicator. In recent decades, it has been quite popular among ordinary people. Nan Fusheng would check Soul Sound from time to time and watch the funny behaviors of those funny people on the Soul Network.

However, Nan Fusheng noticed that compared to the previous gossip, the mainstream of soul music now seemed to be intentionally guided towards war.

"It should be something the federation did deliberately." Nan Fusheng looked at the news thoughtfully.

The Federation's current propaganda is focused on some negative reports about Xingluo Continent and Douling Continent. They even want to dig up things that happened thousands of years ago.

There is no doubt that this is to guide the people's hatred towards Xingluo Continent and Douling Continent through public opinion.

In addition, there was another piece of news that caught Nan Fusheng's attention. The Spirit Pagoda was widely publicizing that they had successfully developed an artificial thousand-year soul, and even released news that the research on ten-thousand-year artificial souls was beginning to show results.

A thousand-year soul meant that the soul master's strength would have a qualitative leap, and it would also reduce the overall requirement for mental strength. After all, a thousand-year soul could bring a soul master three soul skills at most, so he could absorb fewer souls.

"It seems that even if Fors and the others choose to torment Gu Yuena, she is not completely helpless."

Nan Fusheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the news. As the saying goes, there are countermeasures for every policy from above. Even if Fors and the others choose to hinder Gu Yuena's plan, it can only delay the time at most.

After all, in addition to traditional souls, the Soul Pagoda also has artificial souls for sale. As long as Gu Yuena focuses on artificial souls, she will always be able to capture a lot of soul masters.

Moreover, the Spirit Pagoda took the initiative to lower the price of the newly developed Millennium Soul, and business was booming for a while. It is no exaggeration to say that it is rich enough to rival a country.

It is said that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, but judging from the current situation of the Spiritual Pagoda, it seems that there is no such problem at all. They have even become the big money behind the hawkish faction of the military.

"But this is not a bad thing for me." Anyway, the Spirit Transferring Tower has been almost completely infiltrated by him. The greater the influence of the Spirit Transferring Tower, the better it will be for Nan Fusheng.

After all, Nan Fusheng is a man who is determined to become the Speaker of the Federal Parliament. To do this, at least on the surface, he still needs a lot of allies.

Lufa, Fors and Qiangu Qingfeng in the Spirit Pagoda, Duanmu Yan and Shenwei in the War God Temple, and even Yun Ming who is still in prison, are all his hidden forces.

The Speaker is the highest authority in the federation, but even he is subject to the overall constraints of the House.

The Bundestag has a total of 231 seats, or 231 members, which was determined after several adjustments.

Each councillor is elected by different regions. Some big cities will definitely have councillors, or even more than one, but small cities may not.

These 231 members make up the entire Federal Parliament, from among whom 42 members of the presidium are elected.

The members of the presidium decide the daily affairs of the federation. They can also be called standing members. The 42 members of the presidium include a speaker, 15 vice speakers, and 26 members. They are the highest authority of the entire federation.

Yes, there is only one Speaker, but there are fifteen Deputy Speakers.

This is to balance the major forces of all parties. Large organizations such as the Spirit Pagoda, the Temple of War God, and the Blacksmith Association all have a permanent vice-president position.

Originally, Tang Sect and Shrek Academy also had one. But Shrek Academy gave up the position of resident vice-chairman about 6,000 years ago and continued to maintain absolute neutrality. Tang Sect's resident vice-chairman position was cancelled after Shrek City was destroyed. Two hundred and thirty-one members, including forty-two members of the presidium, are the highest authority of the Federation.

By the way, Nan Fusheng is now one of the 42 members of the presidium, because the camp he stands in is somewhat awkward.

The Bundestag is mainly divided into two factions: hawks and doves. There are also some neutral parties. However, the number of neutral parties is relatively small, only about 20 people, and they do not have much say in many decisive matters.

Unfortunately, Nan Fusheng chose the neutral faction.

"Things will work out when the time comes." After thinking about it for a while, Nan Fusheng stopped thinking about these topics. Anyway, no matter whether they are hawks or doves, he has certain informants.

Even if he cannot become Speaker of the Parliament in the future, it will not be difficult to control the general direction of the Federal Parliament.

……

A whole year has passed since the master craftsman Zhenhua was attacked.

Tiandou City seemed to have recovered its vitality and was still the same, with an ancient charm and many characteristics of the ancient times of Douluo Continent.

After getting off the soul guide train, Nan Fusheng took Aqiya into a taxi and arrived at the headquarters of the Blacksmith Association with ease.

Because of the good relationship, Nan Fusheng easily came to the top floor of the Blacksmith Association. Master Craftsman Zhenhua and others and Lu Fa were all in this office. In addition, there was another unexpected person.

"Wulin?" Nan Fusheng looked at Tang Wulin in surprise.

"Fusheng, long time no see." Tang Wulin greeted Nan Fusheng with a smile.

"Didn't you join the army? It's only been a year at most. How come you're back so soon?"

"Things are a bit complicated, and some issues are related to military secrets, so..." Tang Wulin stopped here. The matter of the Blood God Legion was a secret of the Federation, so he couldn't tell Nan Fusheng directly.

This time he came out from the Blood God Legion in order to find life energy for the Seed of Life.

Ever since he defeated the Saint Lord of the Abyss in the Blood God Legion, he was specially appointed by the Legion Commanders Zhang Huanyun and Xue Yi as the honorary deputy commander of the Blood God Legion, with the rank of major general.

According to the original plan, he should have continued to hone his skills in the Blood God Legion for a few more years, but now the situation on the continent is too tense, and he also learned from Blood One that a war might be about to begin.

So, after a night of long talks with Blood One Cao Dezhi, Tang Wulin finally decided to leave the Blood God Legion, not only to prevent the war from happening, but also to find new life energy for the Seed of Life.

After all, given Tang Wulin's current situation, if he really dared to appear near the abyss passage, the Abyss Saint King might attack him again regardless of everything. For his safety and future growth, Cao Dezhi finally decided to send him out of the Blood God Legion.

Before leaving, Cao Dezhi also helped him select twenty people from the Blood God Legion as subordinates, all of whom had cultivation above six rings, and named them the Blood Dragon Squad.

Nan Fusheng naturally learned about Tang Wulin's situation through his clone. Since he was unwilling to say more, Nan Fusheng naturally did not ask any more questions, but just nodded to indicate that he knew.

"Come on, we haven't seen each other for a long time, give me a hug." Nan Fusheng first gave Tang Wulin a big hug. Hmm, a little soft? And a little fragrant?
"Wu Lin, have you gained weight? Why do you look a little chubby, and have a smell?" Nan Fusheng said suspiciously.

Tang Wulin was immediately embarrassed. She didn't want too many people to know that she had become a girl, so she smiled reluctantly, "Really? It must be your illusion. How can a grown man like me smell so good?"

"Really?" Nan Fusheng did not delve into this topic further, which made Tang Wulin feel relieved.

"Senior Zhenhua, Senior Muchen, long time no see." Nan Fusheng then greeted Zhenhua and others.

"Yeah." Zhenhua nodded calmly, "Tell me, what is the matter with you looking for Lu Fa this time?"

"It's not him who wants to ask Master Lufa for something, it's me." Aqiuya on the side stepped forward and said, "I heard that Master Lufa is already capable of heavenly forging, so this time I came here to trouble him to forge a four-character battle armor for me. I'll pay for it."

Four-character battle armor? Has Lufa already been able to forge it? As soon as Akuiya said this, Tang Wulin's pupils shrank. Zhenhua and others hadn't told him about this yet.

"May I know who you are?" Because Aquiya did not wear the iconic military uniform on this trip, Zhenhua did not recognize her at first sight, but just felt that she looked a little familiar.

"The commander of the East Sea Legion, Aquia." Aquia said.

When Zhenhua heard this and was about to say something, Lufa stood up and said, "Teacher, I did promise to forge a four-character battle armor for Captain Aqiuya, so leave the matter here to me."

"Okay." Zhenhua still has a lot of trust in his disciples. "You have your own ideas, so the teacher will naturally not interfere."

"Thank you, teacher." Lufa bowed to Zhenhua, then said to Aqiuya: "In this case, let's not delay any further and start forging the four-character battle armor. You should have prepared the design drawings, right?"

"Of course." Aquia nodded. She was a ninth-level mecha maker. She pointed at Nan Fusheng and said, "Can he come and watch?"

Lufa hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay." Then he walked towards the elevator, followed by Aqiuya and Nan Fusheng.

"Tsk tsk, the relationship between this guy named Nan Fusheng and Admiral Aqiya seems to be a bit complicated." Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, Zhenhua was amazed.

Tang Wulin, who was standing by, asked curiously, "Uncle Master, what do you mean?"

Before Zhenhua could speak, Mu Chen at the side explained to Tang Wulin: "Designing one's own battle armor is not a trivial matter. Generally speaking, only the forger and the battle armor master should be present. The original intention of doing this is to protect the privacy of the battle armor master."

"But look at Admiral Aquia. He doesn't mind letting Nan Fusheng watch from the side. This is more than just ordinary trust."

Zhenhua also echoed, "That's right. Even classmates of many years may not be able to have such trust. It seems that your friend is quite resourceful."

Zhenhua didn't choose to follow just now because he knew these taboos.
