"Three days."
Zhou Li spread out a piece of paper engraved with blue lines, waved his right hand, and the ink characters outlined himself on the paper. He looked at everyone and began to make arrangements: "What we have to do is to rescue the spiritual sea, explore That void city, and dealing with Magnum and Muqi."
The blue text of Linghai, the purple text of Void City, and the logos of Magnum and Muqi floated in mid-air. Zhou Li first picked out Ling Hai's text and placed it in the front: "The first thing we have to do is to rescue Ling Hai."
Zhou Li glanced at AhZi inadvertently, and then asked Aiwei who was aside: "Is Ai Lei here?"
"Here we are, she is exploring Muqi's void environment and will be back in ten minutes."
After getting Aiwei's answer, Zhou Li nodded, and then continued: "According to calculations, Ailei's void talent can only support her to explore the depths of the void once, and it only lasts ten minutes. Therefore, in addition to the spiritual sea, it is very important to us In addition, the operation to rescue Linghai is expected to take a short time and does not require much preparation. We will carry out the rescue of Linghai as soon as possible."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Li put the names of Azi, Ain, Kaya and Ailei together, placed them on the right side of Linghai's name, and drew a circle: "Ailei will be able to detect the most intimate space in the void environment today. Once the location is confirmed, I will immediately ask Mr. Muqi for instructions. This will not take more than an hour. During this hour, let Ailei make all preparations."
At this time, Zhou Li seemed to have thought of something and turned to ask Ah Zi, "Have you brought anything with you?"
"Bring it."
AhZi nodded, and then said to everyone, mainly to the Ailei brothers and sisters: "A demigod-level void affinity object, a brilliant-level shield generating device, and several platinum-level talismans and accessories. Tomorrow morning It can be delivered before eight o'clock."
Upon hearing Azi's words, Aiwei and Ain were immediately stunned by this generous gesture. As a merchant noble, Ivey is very clear about the price of this energy item for protection. This time, the value of the demigod-level Void Affinity Item alone would not be less than fifteen thousand gold coins. Together with other things, it cost nearly 80% of the Purple Sha Chamber of Commerce. of working capital.
This kind of cash flow means that Azi has completely withdrawn from this cooperation between Muqi and Magnum, which is equivalent to giving all the profits to the Aier Chamber of Commerce. The hidden losses behind this For Zisha, it is an astronomical figure.
"this……"
A flash of hesitation flashed in Ain's eyes. Of course she would not ask stupid questions like "Is it worth it?" If it were Ivy or Ailei who were trapped in the same scene, she would also make this choice. After all, these two All are individual chambers of commerce, and there are no so-called equity holders to hinder Azi or Ain's decision-making. What Ain really hesitates about is whether to let the Purple Sha Merchant Guild suffer such a huge loss.
Although it is said that Zisha and Aier have an invisible competitive relationship, in fact, Ain does not want Zisha to suffer too much loss.
As a data flow, Ain has calculated various relationships between the two chambers of commerce. The conclusion is that, under the leadership of Zhou Li, Zisha and Aier have easily become the most powerful joint chamber of commerce in the entire northern continent. As long as the two unite, they can rely on their physical advantages and Zhou Li's endorsement to develop steadily. However, the hidden danger brought about by such development is that once something goes wrong with Zisha or Al, it will definitely affect the other party, and even everyone under the brave man. The whole whole.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Ain made a decision. She looked at Azi and said: "Rescuing Linghai this time is also the decision of the Aier Chamber of Commerce. Your investment this time is too big, which will affect the future of Azi." The role of the Yarn Merchant Guild in the plan. So this time, Al will provide an interest-free loan of 50,000 gold coins to the Purple Yarn Merchant Guild, which will take effect under the witness of the brave."
Azi was stunned for a moment. She did not expect that Ain would provide her with an interest-free loan of 50,000 gold coins. This time she spent a lot of money. Although with Zhou Li's help, it didn't hurt her muscles and bones, but the 60,000 gold coins she spent put a heavy toll on Zisha. And Al's move is undoubtedly a help in times of need.
Azi did not shirk, she knew that the current Zisha Chamber of Commerce was likely to receive a big blow because of her willfulness, and she would naturally make up for it. She looked at Ain with grateful eyes, nodded and said to her: "Thank you Aier Chamber of Commerce for your help, Zisha will remember this kindness."
"Okay, I'll bear witness."
Zhou Li testified with a slight smile, which he was happy to see. Then, Zhou Li continued to say to everyone: "Tomorrow's plan to rescue Linghai is scheduled for ten o'clock. Arrangements and preparations will begin at eight o'clock. Xiaoke will be there to help you, don't forget to connect with her."
After arranging the issue of Linghai, Zhou Li placed the word Void in the center and motioned everyone to look at the key point: "Next, there is Void."
"What we can be clear about now is that there are two kinds of existences, the purple void and the urban void. According to Kaya, taking the urban void as the base point, the location of the purple void is at Muqi under our feet. Tomorrow we will rescue the spirit. After the sea, we will conduct an urban void exploration the next day.”
After Zhou Li pondered for a moment, he divided the void into two entries: purple void and urban void. He looked at everyone and said: "What Mr. Muqi said to us today is very important, including the truth about the void race. It was revealed that the Purple Void did not exist from the beginning. So while the original plan was to find out the relationship between the City Void and the Purple Void, try to collect evidence or clues about these two things."
Zhou Li paused for a moment, then said calmly: "Of course, this is also part of my selfishness. In fact, these two things are not our original plan, they were added temporarily. Because I want Mr. Muqi to help I do one thing, and the thread behind those two things is my reward.”
"Aier Chamber of Commerce has no objection." "Zisha Chamber of Commerce has no objection."
Of course, Ain and Azi accepted this statement extremely calmly. On the side, because she was not mentioned, Don Quixote could only stare straight at Zhou Li and the panel. She suddenly felt the silence and sights around her. She looked around and found that everyone's eyes were focused on her. On the body.
?
Don Quixote was confused for a while, and then she seemed to have come to her senses, pointing blankly at herself. After seeing Azi and Ain nodding, she suddenly realized, Aia Ai said: "Ah, the Hede family No comment."
"OK."
Zhou Li nodded and then counted the people: "We will not all participate in the mission to explore the void. Azi, Ain and Aiwei need to stay here, because you do not have any abilities, and we may not be able to take care of any unexpected situations. you."
After hearing this sentence, Ain pursed his lips slightly, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. But she didn't rush to participate in the mission, even though she was the one who cared about Kaya the most. Because she knew that a person like herself who had no own strength could easily become a burden to the team if she participated in such things.
"Of course, you have something to do."
Zhou Li smiled at Ain, and then arranged: "Aiwei, you and the Hede family's guardian army must block the entrance to our exploration and don't let anyone in. Ain and Azi, I need you two." Help me find out something very important."
He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and black mist instantly enveloped everyone. Facing the people who were looking at him, Zhou Li said a mission that surprised everyone.
"Investigate Xiaoke's group of Muqi students who are floating around."
"ah?"
Faced with this very unexpected task, even though Azi and Ain were well prepared, they couldn't help but feel confused. At this time, Eluma on the side finally used her talent for compliments and asked without knowing why: "Do they have any problems?"
"Do you really trust Mr. Muqi?"
Zhou Li did not answer her question, but asked everyone another question.
"Mr. Muqi... I think what he said is too shocking and unlikely to deceive us."
Facing Don Quixote's words, Zhou Li took a breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Yes, I generally maintain a certain degree of trust in the information about Chonghuang and Void. After all, it is difficult to fabricate this kind of thing, and He will not risk being killed by the gods to make up such a mutually exclusive thing."
"But, I want to explain something to you."
Zhou Li put his hands on the table and said to everyone with a very solemn expression: "Mr. Muqi is not seriously ill at all."
"His soul was divided."
"What?"
This news hit everyone's hearts like a bolt from the blue. Don Quixote stood up in surprise and said to Zhou Li in shock: "How is this possible? Dividing a god's gift? This is impossible."
"Yes, the souls of professionals given by God are as untouchable and indivisible as the sky. This is the consensus of the world."
Zhou Li first nodded and acknowledged Don Quixote's words, then turned to ask another question: "What if he divided it himself?"
"this…"
Don Quixote frowned but did not deny it. But she quickly asked other questions: "But how did you see that his soul had been divided? And why did he do this?"
"I asked Xiaoke when the room where Mr. Muqi was was painted white."
Zhou Li explained: "She told me that since Mr. Muqi was elected fifty years ago, he has removed all the decorations in the entire room and replaced them with pure white decorations. At first, I also thought it was Muqi. My husband’s move was to show that he didn’t care about power, but when he looked at me for the first time, I also saw him…”
Zhou Li took a step to the side. Then, he looked at the affairs he had pulled out diagonally below, and said faintly: "The chair under me."
"That chair is made of a type of wood called rest in the Twilight Forest. This wood lives in darkness all year round. If it sees white or the sun, it will release a substance called pseudo-spirit. This substance will disguise itself as a soul to deceive other people's bodies, gradually eroding the soul in that person's body until it is killed from the soul level."
"Why did he do this? Isn't this looking for death?"
Facing Aiwei's doubts, Zhou Li thought for a moment and then said: "No, this is not seeking death. On the contrary, this is the best way for a person with a broken soul to survive."
"After strictly controlling the number of resting wood and the stimulation method, the pseudo-spirit will produce laziness. This pseudo-spirit under the laziness effect will not perform corrosive actions. On the contrary, it will become a harmless soul substance. Filled in the human body. Although this kind of soul cannot be integrated into the original soul, it can deceive the body and prevent the body from destroying itself due to the lack of soul."
"Then why did he divide his soul?"
Although they were surprised by Zhou Li's extensive knowledge, Ivey and his team had long been accustomed to this brave man full of miracles. After getting Zhou Li's explanation, Aiwei asked another question that others also wanted to ask.
"I don't know, so I need to look into this."
Zhou Li sat on the chair, his face a little gloomy. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said softly: "When summoning us, I found that Xiao Ke, as Mr. Mu Qi, wanted to contact Mr. Mu Qi, but subconsciously stopped his movements. Although it may be that he was afraid of Xiao Ke I noticed that there was no disease in Mr. Muqi’s body, but Mr. Muqi couldn’t help but become nervous and retracted his arm back, which was abnormal.”
"So you suspect..." Azi looked at Zhou Li, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she didn't finish her words, but she clearly expressed her meaning.
"That's right." Zhou Li nodded, confirming Ah Zi's conjecture: "Mr. Muqi has been studying souls for a long time. According to Xiaoke, at least before he became Mr. Muqi, that is, when Emperor Chong died. I have begun to study the division and bonding of souls. This timing is so clever that I cannot ignore it."
After listening to Zhou Li's analysis, everyone fell into silence. The kind old man with a slight sense of humor made everyone fall in love with him in just one conversation. As the king of a country, Mr. Muqi has no airs of superiority. He is like an old man next door who can be seen everywhere, always smiling when facing others. They never imagined that Mr. Muqi had such a secret.
"Of course, we can't draw conclusions so early."
Zhou Li breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said to everyone in a relaxed tone: "What if someone's soul is really chopped into pieces by accident? Even if he is really studying the soul and has a plan, it is possible that he is doing it for Good thing. None of this is correct.”
"Of course, be prepared."
Zhou Li is always a pessimist. This is the consensus of everyone. As expected, he continued: "However, we must also be prepared to be isolated and helpless. Never pin your future on the goodwill of others. This is eternal. The unchanging truth.”
Even me.
