Chongxiao took out his notebook and handed it to the boss. "Here are the results. It may take some time to compare them. I'm sorry to bother you, Boss Luo."
"What are you talking about? I will definitely get it done for you, don't worry!"
"Don't worry. I just received a notice that I may have to go to Shendu to deliver the letter. It will take at least a week to go back and forth."
According to Chongxiao's idea, to reach a place as far away as Londinium, if luck is good, one can make a round trip within ten days. Then, to reach the Great Flame God Capital, which is less than one-third of the distance, a week should be more than enough.
However, when Boss Luo heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he burst into laughter.
"Mr. Chongxiao, it's clear that you have never been to the Divine Capital. In seven days... it's already great that you can reach the Divine Capital. How can you go back and forth?"
It turned out that the flying altitude of the Yixiangkong airship was just enough to cross the vast plains between Victoria and Longmen, but it was absolutely impossible to fly over the Taihua Mountains. In other words, if Chongxiao wanted to go to the capital, he could only take the land route.
"Ah this..."
"And going to the capital at this time?"
Boss Luo shook his head again, "It's really a good time..."
"Good times? How do you mean?"
"Mr. Chongxiao, don't you know? In at most one month, the coronation ceremony of the new emperor of Great Yan will be held!"
Chapter 37 Before leaving, my real name is Nian
The coronation ceremony of the new emperor of Dayan.
To be honest, Chongxiao hasn't really paid much attention to this matter.
Half a year ago, the previous true dragon emperor passed away. He went to Victoria on a business trip and missed the opportunity to lower the flag at Dragon Gate to half-mast to observe the day of mourning.
If he had to say that he knew something, it was that Dong Fang had mentioned that Wei Yanwu had a relationship with the Great Yan royal family, but he never mentioned it again, and Chongxiao forgot about it.
"Let me confirm one thing first, Lao Wei...you are not trying to trick me, are you?"
"Having a high opinion of yourself is a disease, kid, don't give me that!"
Wei Yanwu took a sip of tea with disdain, "If it weren't for the fact that our headquarters is about to move and we're short of manpower, do you think I would send you to the capital?"
Chongxiao's eyes suddenly became a little strange.
What do you mean by "lack of manpower for the upcoming headquarters relocation"? Are all moving companies extinct or are the special inspection teams now responsible for the manual labor?
This old Wei deliberately makes excuses but doesn't even think of a good one!
"Okay...I'll go alone this time?"
"What do you think?"
Wei Yanwu glared at him.
Chongxiao never uses his mind-reading ability on people he knows, and with Wei Yanwu's strong will, it would be useless even if he used it.
But he still knew what this look meant: You little bastard! I told you we were short-handed, and you still asked who would go with you?
Helpless, Chongxiao could only sigh.
It was certain that I didn't want to go. First, I had no idea about the situation in the capital, and I might run into the event of the new emperor ascending the throne. Second, the new idea I had just thought of had not yet been verified for feasibility. If I couldn't come back in a short time...
"Old Wei, can you please give me a hand..."
"If you're talking about the infected area, there's nothing I can do."
Wei Yanwu naturally knew Chongxiao's whereabouts in the past six months, and he was also aware that he went to the infected area every week.
There has never been a shortage of people on the Terra continent who care for the infected, but there are too few of them compared to those who reject the infected. After all, no one is willing to put themselves at risk of contracting an incurable disease like oripathy for a little bit of kindness.
Therefore, as the leader of Longmen, even if Wei Yanwu really sympathized with the infected, it was impossible for him to provide them with free assistance openly... As for paid assistance, the results were already well known.
Without treatment, nearly half of the infected people are unable to work normally. If the support and relief efforts are increased, not only will more people become ill, but ordinary residents will certainly not be happy about it.
Human compassion is like a river, it always flows from high to low...
"I haven't said it yet."
Chongxiao secretly gave Wei Yanwu a middle finger and said, "I'll contact the owner of this store later."
He placed a business card on the table. "Ask him about the results of my experiment... This might be a good way to have the best of both worlds."
……
"Delivering a letter to the capital of gods?"
Hearing Zhongxiao's words, Xingxiong, who was bending over to pack something, was slightly startled, and then he straightened up from behind his desk, "Does this kind of thing require you to go?"
Chongxiao shrugged, "I don't know what Lao Wei is thinking."
“But you’ve never been to God…”
No... Chongxiao has no memory of the past, maybe he has been to the capital.
Thinking of this, Xingxiong frowned.
If this is true, then if he were to revisit the old place, perhaps he would be able to recover his memory?
"Really? Then there's nothing wrong with going and taking a look."
"……what?"
Chongxiao didn't understand why Xingxiong's attitude suddenly changed. You know, he actually came here to complain and also to let him know. After all, Xingxiong is now his nominal boss.
What? Why in name only? That's simple... because Xingxiong also listens to Chongxiao in private.
"But the new emperor's coronation ceremony is about to take place. You must be careful when you arrive in Shendu and don't cause trouble, otherwise Chief Wei won't be able to protect you."
That's too much. If he really dares to go to the capital, I'm afraid I will have to protect him.
Xingxiong should be the gentlest and friendliest one among the people that Chongxiao planned to say goodbye to, because after hearing the news, his colleagues headed by Haoyun showed expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred, and said that they must treat him to a meal at the most luxurious restaurant in Longmen when he returned.
Chongxiao's response was also very firm: I don't have money, but if it comes to my life, I'll strike first... His reckless behavior aroused unanimous contempt from the members of the special inspection team.
Texas did not "go along with them", but just said "oh" to show that he understood, and then asked about the question of Yama Sword.
"Can't use Dimension Slash?"
"Hmm... no matter how hard I concentrate, the Yama Blade shows no signs of resonance."
Ah this...
Chongxiao became a little nervous.
Although he had become more and more proficient in using his own power to transform flames into weapons out of thin air, and could use these weapons skillfully, if he was asked to explain the principle...
It would be better to hope that Jeston could kill Saria with one punch.
Huh? Wait a minute!
Since these weapons were created by myself based on the legends in the memory fragments, wouldn’t it be better to let the people who used them in the legend “teach” me?
Chong Xiao, who was desperate to find a cure, didn't know how fantastic his idea was, and he didn't know that in addition to his fantastic idea, he actually found the most suitable method...
"No, Texas."
"wrong?"
"Concentrating your mind does not mean controlling the Yama Blade... It has its true master, a great warrior who cannot double jump."
Do you want to listen carefully to what you are saying?
Texas looked at Chongxiao with suspicion, as if he was a charlatan who walked the streets: He could use the Yama Blade to perform a terrifying move like Dimension Slash, but a mere double jump...
Uh...it seems like I don't know how to move in this anti-physical way.
"You mean... the Yama Blade contains the memories of that great warrior?"
"Yes! That's what I mean!"
In order to save face, Chongxiao could only shamelessly admit it. As for whether it was true or not...
He doesn't know at all!
After notifying his colleagues at the Guard Bureau, Chongxiao called Lin Yuxia again.
The young lady is currently studying at Shaolu University in Longmen, but she said that she did not apply for any particular subject. Instead, like Hermione Granger, she applied for all the subjects she thought were useful.
So it's difficult to meet her. In the past six months, apart from the coming-of-age ceremony last month when I gave her the Heart of Oak, I've only seen her two or three times.
"Hello, Mr. Chongxiao, what's up?"
"Hey! Can't I call you if nothing happens?"
"According to my memory, Mr. Chongxiao, you called me four times in total. The first two times were to inquire about cooperation in eliminating Jiang Biehe, the third was to consult about the film company, and the fourth time was to ask me to introduce you to professionals who are familiar with various rock materials."
So you remembered it all! ?
Chongxiao was stunned...
"So, there's no way you could contact me when nothing's wrong."
"Ah... Sorry, it's my problem."
"No need for that, Mr. Chongxiao. After all, you gave me this Heart of Oak, which has played a great role in my training of Originium skills."
Why do I feel like this girl's words are like a sweet reward after a beating... Is she trying to PUA me?
You wish for it. Hey, wait and see how I can turn the tables on you.
Chongxiao's eyes rolled and he remembered what he had just said to fool Texas.
"Forget the polite words. You haven't even awakened the true power of Oakheart yet. How can you possibly play a big role?"
"Real...power?"
"Want to know? If you want to know, then help me take good care of Lady Audrey and the others. I'll tell you when I come back from the capital."
……
In fact, this was Chongxiao's first time traveling far away in the true sense.
The last time when Chen Huijie was sent to Londinium, Xingxiong took care of everything from buying tickets to booking rooms like a good wife and mother. Chongxiao didn't do anything except wandering around, chatting with pretty girls, and using a Liukong slash to cut through the vortex storm.
But this time it was only Chongxiao himself...at least he thought so a few minutes ago.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked into the long-distance station, I saw two old acquaintances.
Master Mo Li, and the smiling investor Guo Shan beside her... In addition, there was another person standing next to them. He had a stern expression and a look that seemed to say "Keep Away" on his face. There were four of them.
"Master? Boss Guo?"
"You're a little late, Brother Chongxiao."
Guo Shan took a step forward and leaned forward slightly, "If you're any later, my convoy will be leaving soon."
"…your convoy?"
"Oh? Don't you know, Brother Chongxiao? The team that is leaving for the capital today is under my name."
Nani?
After hearing this, Chongxiao did not feel lucky at all. Instead, he looked at Guo Shan with a serious expression, which froze his smile on his face.
Seeing this, the stern-looking guy not far away was about to step forward, but Mo Li raised his hand to stop him and gave him a cold look.
The atmosphere grew colder, and there was a vague sense of danger, until... Chongxiao spoke slowly.
"Boss Guo, even if you spend so much money to save the country, I don't plan to change the script."
Well, just one sentence cleared away the heavy atmosphere.
"This...what are you talking about? As the boss of a business, I also need to buy goods to make a living!"
Guo Shan shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Then he took Zhongxiao's hand and walked to the "Painful Brother". "Come on, let me introduce you. This is..."
"Tian Can, Simuitai."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Mo Li and Guo Shan changed!
