Chapter 445: Circle of Confusion
When Wei Wan'er seized power, Fei Xuechun's position as the financial hegemon in Tang Zhangwei's circle also began to be unbreakable, and all the war bonds were underwritten by Wei Wan'er's good friend Fei Xuechun.
The banknotes, gold, and silver of the Datang Bank all rolled into Fei Xuechun's pocket.
In order to say a few good words in front of Tang Zhangwei, many senior officials also deliberately gave money to Fei Xuechun to earn. So much so that Princess Suining and the princess of the Eastern Roman Empire can't compare with Fei Xuechun in terms of money, let alone a big road commodity like Lord Lotus.
When Bai Cunxiao was eating at home, he also secretly discussed.
Now, if you want to break into the world with your bare hands in Datang, it is no better than before, and the good opportunities are concentrated in the hands of Wei Wan'er and Fei Xuechun.
Is it? β
"Come on, toss a coin and try it."
"Okay." Herron said, "If you think it's fun." He took out a handful of change from his money bag and snatched it from somewhere. He thought about it for a moment, picked out a Zloti lead slot, and held it steady on the purple thumb nails.
"You choose," he said, "the obverse is ......," he looked carefully at the obverse of the coin, "a fish with legs." β
"I'll talk about it when I throw it up." Ling Sifeng said. Heron grinned and flicked his thumb.
The slots flew up and whirled.
"The edge lands first." Ling Sifeng said without even looking at it.
Magic never dies. They just fade away.
Nowhere in the blue land of the saucer world is this more evident than the battlefields of the Magi Wars. This great war broke out at the beginning of the creation of the world. At that time, magic in its primitive state was used by the first generation of humans to fight against the gods.
The origins of the War of the Mages have been lost in the mists of time. However, the philosophers of the saucer world believe that the first generation of human beings was just born and could not control their emotions, which is understandable. The war was so big that it was fought in a big wayβthe sun was spinning in the sky, the sea was boiling, strange storms were blowing on land, small white doves were inexplicably appearing in people's clothes, and even the stability of the saucer world itself was threatened (in space, the saucer world was carried by four giant elephants riding on giant tortoises). Even the gods must obey the elders.
Since then, the gods can only stay in high places; Humanity has been reshaped to be much smaller than it was before; And a lot of ancient savage magic has been sucked from the land.
However, these measures have not completely solved the problem. There are still many places in the saucer world where you are directly attacked by spells during the Great War. Magic fades away, but slowly, in millennia. In the process of declining, the magic emitted countless sub-interstellar particles, severely distorting the reality of the surrounding area......
Lingsifeng, Shuanghua, and Heron stared at the coin together.
"It's really the edge that landed first." Heron said, "Of course, you're a wizard, can you be wrong?" β
"I'm not...... Don't make this spell! β
"You mean you won't make!"
Ling Sifeng ignored him, because he said something that broke the sky. "Try again." He suggested.
Heron grabbed another handful of coins.
The first two landed normally, and so did the fourth. The third one landed on the ground first, and then stood firmly. The fifth turned into a small yellow caterpillar and crawled away. When the sixth flew to the highest point, it disappeared with a "ping". After a while, there was a thunderclap in the air.
"Hey, that's silver!" Heron cried. He stood up and looked into the sky, "Give it back to me!" β
"I don't know where it went."
Ling Sifeng said tiredly, "Maybe it's still rushing up." I tried one this morning and it hasn't fallen off yet. β
Heron was still looking at the sky.
"Really?" Shuanghua asked.
Ling Sifeng sighed. I'm afraid of this.
"We walked into a lot with a lot of magic," he said, "and don't ask me how I got in. In the past, there may have been a strong magical force field here, and what we felt was its stamina. β
"Exactly." A bush said as he walked.
Heron quickly lowered his head.
"That's the kind of place you say?" He asked, "Let's get out of here!" β
"Okay!" Ling Sifeng agreed, "If we go back the way we came, maybe we can get out." Every mile or so, let's toss a coin and try it. β
He hurriedly stood up and began to stuff things into the saddle bag.
"Why?" Shuanghua asked.
Lingfeng stopped. "Hey," he said suddenly, "can you stop talking about it?" Let's go along! β
"It looks normal here," Shuanghua said, "it's just that there are fewer people......
"Yes." Ling Sifeng said, "Isn't it strange? Let's go! β
There was a thud above their heads, like a belt whipping a watery stone. Something smooth and transparent, with a vague shape, swept past Lingswind's head, fluttering the ashes from the fire. The leftover roast pig left the rack and flew upwards.
The roast pig dodged a clump of trees sideways, straightened up, spun in a small circle, and then flew away towards the central axis, ticking the next hot lard idea.
"What are they doing?" The old man asked.
The young woman looked at the crystal glass.
"Towards the edge, speed up." "And ...... They've got the legged box with them. β
The old man laughed, as strange and unsettling as if it came from a dark, filthy catacomb. "Wisdom Pear Blossom Tree," he said, "is really good. yes, I think we can get it. Honey, keep an eye on it - don't wait for them to escape your ......"
"Shut up or I'll ......"
"How about you, Riesa?" The old man said. (In the dim light, he sat in a somewhat odd position in the stone chair.) "You've already killed me once, don't you remember?" β
She snorted, stood up, seemed to look down on him, and threw her hair behind her back. Her hair was red with strands of gold. As soon as the "Summoner of Wilm" Riesa stood up, it was truly glorious. She was almost naked**, wearing only two pieces of the lightest piece of chain mail, and her feet wore pearl-glowing dragonskin riding boots, one of which had a riding whip stuck in it. Curiously, the whip was almost as long as a spear, with small steel spikes on the tip.
"I have enough strength to deal with them." She said coldly.
In the haze, the old man seemed to nod, or just shake. "You've always been so sure." He said. Riesa snorted again and strode out of the hall.
