Zhuang Hong introduced himself politely.
Then he corrected: "I am not a Tianyuan Talisman Master. I am just a trainee Talisman Master who has just been exposed to runes for two or three months. This time I came to the Linghai Gate because I wanted to study here and delve into the mysteries of runes."
Wan Qi didn't believe a word Zhuang Hong said.
However, he didn't show it, and said with a laugh: "It turns out that little friend Zhuang is here to discuss the mysteries of runes with us, so you are very welcome. To be honest, we always welcome lucky charm masters to come to Linghai Gate to study the way of runes together. .
It's just that the island has been rebuilt recently, so the number of Talisman Masters coming to the Spiritual Sea Gate has doubled. At first, there was nothing major, but as more and more Talisman Masters came here, various unpleasant situations appeared. , we came up with this strategy for unified management. I didn't expect that my subordinates were blind and confused Zhuang Xiaoyou with other people. I'm sorry. "
Zhuang Hong waved his hand and reflected on himself: "There was something wrong with me just now. I just wanted to show it off a little bit. I never thought about holding back my strength and disrupting the port."
"Haha, it's nothing. It's just a misunderstanding. Just make it clear. If you don't mind coming from afar, please allow me to entertain you well."
Wanqi looked at the deflated hot air balloon lying on its side: "This is..."
When the hot air balloon approached the island, he had already seen the hot air balloon, but he was a little unsure about Zhuang Hong's identity, so he asked his men to come over to explore. Unexpectedly, his men were so blind that they almost caused a big mess. .
You must know that if a Tianyuan Talisman master lets go and makes a big fuss, it will definitely cause great damage to the entire Spirit Sea Gate.
Even if the troublesome Tianyuan Talisman Master can be captured in the end, the damage caused will be irreversible.
So they don't care about lower-level Talisman Masters, but for Talisman Masters above Tianyuan, they can speak well and never use force.
Zhuang Hong: "A hot air balloon is a small gadget. We flew here on it. If you are interested, I can tell you how to make it."
Wan Qi's eyes lit up: "That would be perfect."
So Zhuang Hong asked Dai Zhengxin and others to fold the hot air balloon, and then stuffed the hot air balloon into the storage bag on his back in public, without any intention of avoiding Wan Qi.
This scene shocked Wan Qi and all the other people from the Linghai Sect.
Originally, they regarded themselves as well-informed 'city people'. Although Zhuang Hong might be a powerful Tianyuan Talisman Master, they still felt that Zhuang Hong and others were 'country bumpkins' who had never seen the world and were born with a condescension. sense of superiority.
However, after seeing the magic of hot air balloons and storage bags, most of the feeling of superiority in my heart disappeared.
The country bumpkin from far away turned out to be myself.
At the same time, this also made them curious about Zhuang Hong.
Wan Qi wanted to ask Zhuang Hong how his storage bag was made, but he felt bad asking such a private question when they first met, so he held it back.
He thought to himself: "Is it not too late to establish a good relationship with him first and slowly develop the rune technology he has mastered? Judging from his appearance, he is coming to the Linghai Gate to exchange and learn. There are many opportunities."
…
Zhuang Hong has been to many different worlds and dealt with many people. He knows the secret to communicating with the ruling class, which is to show absolute value and power. As long as the displayed value can make the other party's heart beat, the other party will be very proactive. As long as the strength shown is strong enough, the other party will be particularly gentle and polite.
On the contrary, having neither value nor power, the opposing ruling class has only two outcomes: either it will be ignored or it will be wiped out.
For forces pursuing certain goals and interests, friendship has always been based on equality.
Of course, those organizations that are naturally friendly and supportive of the weak are not excluded, but they are in the minority after all.
After Zhuang Hong came to the Linghai Gate, he not only showed his own value but also showed his strong power, so it became much easier to come here to learn runes.
At least there is an opportunity for equal communication.
Wan Qi brought Zhuang Hong to the living room of Lingmen Council and arranged food and accommodation.
Then they started chatting with Zhuang Hong.
Zhuang Hong also learned about the general situation of Linghai Gate through chatting.
The Linghai Gate is managed by the Lingmen Council. The Lingmen Council has a total of nine supreme speaker seats, which are held by the nine Tianyuan Talisman Masters with the highest prestige and strength in the Linghai Gate. All matters are decided by the Nine Speakers.
However, most of the Speakers like to study runes and rarely come forward to deal with matters.
Under the Speaker, there are also many consuls who handle various daily affairs. If there is no major issue, the consuls can basically solve it.
Wan Qi is a consul affiliated with the Fourth Speaker 'Xing Huo Tong Shen', known as the Third Guard Officer, who has great authority within the Linghai Gate.
Today it was their turn for the third group of guards to patrol the Linghai Gate.
A few months ago, the nine councilors seemed to have made a breakthrough in their research on runes, and they unanimously decided to rebuild the rune circuit arrays scattered throughout the island. This was the bustling scene at the Spiritual Sea Gate.
In the past, the Gate of Spiritual Sea was very quiet. Most of the rune masters were doing their own rune research, and there was basically nothing to do with their guard team.
Zhuang Hong asked curiously: "You huddle on the island to study runes, day and night, without paying attention to worldly affairs. What are you doing?"
Wan Qi was very surprised that Zhuang Hong asked this question.
A Tianyuan Talisman Master doesn't even know the Talisman Master's ultimate goal?
He said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's to decipher the mysteries of the runes and gain eternal life. In fact, most of the rune masters who stay at the Spiritual Sea Gate and don't want to leave are those who like to study runes quietly and don't like to fight with others. We It was just right for us to be alone on an island with a group of people like this, away from the world.”
"Eternal life...it turns out that it is really the ultimate pursuit of all life. I wonder if you have made any progress after studying it for so many years."
Wan Qi shook his head: "This is easier said than done. The body is fragile, but the runes are eternal. Only by placing your soul on the runes can you live forever. However, we still know too little about the runes. I am afraid that our current generation will spend their entire lives to see it. There is no hope, but we will keep walking on this road.”
“As long as you never give up, you will eventually achieve your goals.”
Zhuang Hong sincerely admires this group of people, but his philosophy is different from people like Wan Qi. He believes that the knowledge of runes is not only for Talisman masters, but ordinary people should also enjoy the convenience brought by runes.
However, the purpose of Zhuang Hong's coming here was not to argue with them about ideas. He wanted to learn more about runes, that's all.
So, he directly stated the purpose of his coming here.
Wan Qi said: "At the Gate of Linghai, if you want to learn runes, you can communicate with other runes and learn from each other. As long as you can get equivalent knowledge or treasures, other runes will naturally be taught to you. We The Lingmen Council doesn't care about this.
However, if you want to learn the deeper secrets of runes, you may not be able to learn much from ordinary rune masters. "
"What about that?"
Wan Qi: "Join our Lingmen Council, and the various rune knowledge of our Lingmen Council will naturally be open to you. As long as you have enough authority or contribution points, you can exchange for the knowledge you want."
Zhuang Hong was speechless. It turned out that after all the talk, there was still an exchange.
Wan Qi said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, little friend Zhuang. The flying hot air balloon in your hand can be exchanged for a lot of points, which is enough for you to use for a period of time. If you are willing to use that special bag If you share the production method, I can directly give you captain authority..."
Zhuang Hong chuckled: "It's easy to say, I will definitely not be stingy with the knowledge that can be exchanged. Then how should I join the Spiritual Sea Gate?"
Wan Qi laughed: "Since Xiaoyou Zhuang has this intention, then I will help you make arrangements. You only need to provide me with some detailed information."
"good."
Wan Qi quickly took out several forms and filled them out for Zhuang Hong, Dai Zhengxin and Wen Zhijing.
Zhuang Hong wrote like crazy, except for his name and gender, which were all true.
Wan Qi doesn't care about the authenticity of the information. What he cares about is Zhuang Hong's skills. As long as Zhuang Hong really uses his skills in exchange for rune knowledge, then everything else can be ignored.
As for the question of loyalty...
He was not worried at all. He believed that Zhuang Hong would choose to stay after staying at the Linghai Gate for a long time. The Linghai Gate held a treasure that no talisman master could refuse.
Over the years, very few of the Talisman Masters who have ascended to the Spiritual Sea Gate have chosen to leave and return to the mainland to enjoy life.
And this is also the reason why the Gate of Linghai is called the Holy Land of Runes.
After Wan Qi collected the materials, he said with a smile: "Since you have chosen to join our Lingmen Council, I will take you to visit the Linghai Gate tomorrow and explain some of the rules to you in detail.
By the way, joining the Lingmen Council requires you to arrange certain tasks. You should join my third guard team and guard the Linghai Gate together. "
Zhuang Hong nodded readily: "No problem."
After Wan Qi left, Dai Zhengxin and others looked in disbelief and asked blankly: "Have we joined the legendary Linghai Gate? No, it should be said that we have joined the Lingmen Council..."
For them, this was too dreamy. You must know that before landing on the island, he had been prepared to be rejected countless times.
Zhuang Hong said: "Calm down, after joining the Lingmen Council, we are just the lowest-level workers."
