Hengshan community, the old lady's home.
The old lady's surname is Wen and her first name is Yue.
A rather gentle name, but he is a real troublemaker abroad.
Or in other words, an intelligence and spy chief who moonlights as a foreign war agent.
She controls the relationship network between the Western Mountains and beyond, the border land of Hecarim and the chaotic land of Bahamut.
At the same time, there is a little bit about the Alaiman domain intelligence personnel on the other side of the sea besides Bahamut.
Wen Yue is the person Elsa and Zuo Dao need to come and visit before they leave Xishan.
They want to get the old man's permission to operate for many years so that they can do things in Bahamut.
Elsa thought so, but when she got here, things were going a bit wrong.
As for what was wrong, Elsa couldn't tell, it just felt weird.
Watching Zuo Dao's exchange with the old lady, she felt a headache and a lack of brainpower...
"Grandma, should you prove yourself?"
Zuo Dao said kindly, but the paper figures in the room showed the opposite attitude.
But Wen Yue didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled happily and showed her proof.
If so, after a few minutes——
The old lady Wen Yue cleared the table, and the three of them sat down again, each holding a bottle of Diao Le.
The scene was so peaceful that Elsa was confused. Wasn't there a fight just now?
"Did you find it?" Wen Yue said.
She looked at Zuo Dao with a thoughtful look, unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and released a sizzling sound of gas.
Diao Le was half drunk in the blink of an eye.
"Yeah." Zuo Dao nodded while looking at this scene. Seeing Elsa's confusion, he turned around and explained:
"Ms. Wen was testing us just now. The unfamiliarity from the moment we entered the door, and the subsequent series of actions and words, all created a psychological impact on us and made us suspect that there was something wrong with the internal connection.
"Next, Ms. Wen questioned us based on our age and seniority. She wanted to stir up our emotions, make us dissatisfied or angry, or something else. The ultimate goal is to enhance our impulse to explain.
"Ms. Wen doesn't let you communicate with your consciousness. It's not because she is old. Ms. Wen is very healthy and young. It's just that if you communicate with your consciousness, everything will be different, and you won't be able to finally test it.
"Under this foreshadowing, she led to the final trap, which is to say: others will let us come, but without our information, let us explain ourselves.
"This is actually impossible. At least except for changing a few diapers when we were young, everything else should be on Ms. Wen's desk.
“In other words, she creates a problem of internal handover gone wrong, giving us a desire to explain or identify ourselves.
"This is the final test. If we explain directly, it means that the awareness of confidentiality is not strong enough, and proving identity through Huayu's special method should be qualified. Of course, there should be a third way."
Zuo Dao explained, looking at old lady Wen Yue who was raising her eyebrows and nodding.
"Quite..." The old lady burped and gave a thumbs up:
"Young boy, you're good, you have good taste!
"Old lady, how can I get old? That's wonderful!"
"..." Elsa
"..." Zuo said.
He was indeed flattering, but he didn't expect the old lady to accept it so calmly. ….
Someone could hardly maintain his smiling expression.
Zuo Dao seemed to be talking to Elsa, but in fact he was handing an answer sheet to Wen Yue.
The old lady was funny for a moment, then returned to her seriousness and asked with a smile:
"Yes, you can understand my bad taste, old lady.
"At least your method is barely qualified, but what kind of third type are you talking about?"
"Of course this is it," Zuo Dao said, and a spinning and dancing paper man appeared in his hand:
"According to the procedure, if there is an accident during the first docking, I can actually take care of Ms. Wen.
Taking measures is an act of force, but I judged that this was a temptation, so I chose to get a medium score before taking the appropriate action.
"Of course, the fact that I didn't take direct measures is also my personal conservative mentality. I don't think I can beat you. Regardless of your ability and identity, I believe that Ms. Wen is a reliable senior, and I also believe in Nanshi's recommendation. Those who want us to hand over will not harm us without warning."
Wen Yue made a cold look with her arms folded, her old faces pressed together:
"Did you come from the Comprehensive Committee Department? You do one thing after another!
"Hypocritical, so hypocritical, Elsa, stay away from this kid, you will be in trouble!"
Although the old man said this, his smile was very good and he seemed very happy.
After Zuo Daocong figured out the other party's behavior, he knew the old lady's mentality.
We are both intelligence chiefs, although one is on active duty and the other is on active duty in the past world——
But as long as they are human beings, their mentality is similar.
To use an analogy, it is similar to playing games in an Internet cafe, working hard to build a good economy, and all the seats in the Internet cafe are covered with mushrooms. At this time, someone suddenly comes and not only wants to receive the game, but also changes the name of his turtle. , that kind of feeling can only be said to be very complicated.
Especially with the treacherous youth qualifications and Elsa's special status, everyone would feel uneasy.
At this time, it's not about whether the two of them can accomplish anything.
But he doesn't trust his informants.
The other party's actions have a meaning that can be understood at first sight.
In fact, what is deeper is the importance the old lady attaches to this right, or to the people below.
The sincere and sincere explanation is far more memorable than the hard-won process.
This is Wen Yue's core idea according to Zuo Dao.
But this level of understanding can only be tacitly understood in the front, because what the other party wants is a tacit understanding.
Zuo Dao showed his observation and tact by replying to the old lady's message.
The ultimate goal——
Let the other party drink the remaining half of Diao Le into his stomach!
Elsa noticed that the old lady mentioned herself. She looked at the other party and then at Zuo Dao:
"Fate tells me that Mr. Zuo Dao is worthy of trust during this trip."
"..." Wen Yue.
"..." Zuo said.
The two of them had mixed feelings for a while. They were having a good technical exchange, but suddenly a reckless man came over.
The old lady could only smile and shake her head.
She is an intelligence chief, but she is not a life mentor. She cannot teach others how to do things.
Wen Yue took out a golden object that looked like a coin, placed it on the table, and pushed it to the middle:
"This is for you. This is proof of the transfer of authority. I think you will use it in a way..."
"He who has this, Hecarim, will obey you, the servants of Bahamut.
"No matter how unreasonable the order is, they will still use it after so many years of mediocrity.
"But I hope that when using them, I can think more about their value and ending, and don't let their efforts become a joke. There will also be complete information about them.
"Finally, I will defer to the third commander. You will serve as the first and second commander respectively. The third commander is usually responsible for domestic coordination and reporting. When you are in crisis, I will dispatch you."
After Wen Yue finished speaking, her old hand let go of what looked like a coin.
Seeing the golden coin across the middle, Elsa blinked but made no move.
Zuo Dao stretched out his hand to hold it down and pushed it towards Elsa:
"Nan Mingshi asked me to assist you. Although you and I are both members of the sequence, objectively speaking, I am temporary.
"You may leave at a certain stage. In order to avoid trouble, you take the first pick and I take the second pick. When your physical condition is not right, I will take command. This is not a refusal.
"In this case, when the time comes
Less handover procedures. "
Elsa looked at Zuo Dao seriously and finally nodded.
She picked up the coin and put it between her eyebrows. The gold coin began to soften like melted chocolate, and finally seeped into her body.
——Permission transfer completed.
This is also the problem of Zuo Dao not wanting to accept the first series of people.
This ability is related to a certain secret ritual in Huayu. It is everywhere and can be seen nowhere.
It is like the coat of arms of the family and the flag of the country.
It is a kind of authority that will be imprinted in a person's soul.
Before that, a thorough examination of a person's soul will be carried out, like a review in the past world, like anti-virus software after installation, and more like a special physical examination before some big event.
Once there is a problem with the recipient, this authority will turn into poison. If the person's faith and firmness are lax, it will become a lethal explosive.
In short, this stuff is risky for the left.
The first sequence did not tempt him much, whether it was from the perspective of interests, safety considerations, or actual needs.
Elsa fell into a brief daze, then blinked and made a no-questions-asked gesture to the two of them.
The old lady smiled and drank the remaining half of the can of soda.
"Hiccup—" Wen Yue burped indecently:
"The thing is done, and the remaining time belongs to some conversations between us.
"Elsa, you may not know me, but I know you."
"Huh?" Elsa was a little confused.
"Back then, your Khalsa family, or rather——
"Your father's generation made a big mistake." The old lady said.
Elsa is not dumb, her soul is just in a state of passively receiving information for a long time.
During the transfer of authority, she temporarily blocked such questions, so she immediately realized that the other party was asking for advice as a senior who was familiar with the local situation.
Therefore, Elsa said seriously:….
"Mr. Wen, please tell me."
Wen Yue glanced at Zuo Dao, as if to say: Why do you give this girl a bad look?
The old lady collected her thoughts and then said:
"Back then, as the intelligence officer of that area, I strongly reminded your father not to revive the family at that time. Even the old guy Xue Xie also reminded him that although the old guy was planning in the Chinese domain, he would be He looks like a loser for various reasons, but there are a lot of people out there who want to kill him.
"It's a pity that your father was blinded by hatred. He took a few steps secretly and was discovered by the people in the Alaiman region. Then everything happened. The power I have in hand is not outstanding in terms of combat power. Because this kind of ambush can easily get out of control, all we can do is give a quick reminder and provide a way out.
"The people who control all this are not bad either. They blocked my preparations.
"Does Elsa know these stories?"
Elsa thought back seriously with clear eyes, shook her head and said:
"I didn't have many memories of this in the past. Maybe I didn't want me to feel the pain, so I just needed to fulfill the promise and start on a new path."
"Indeed, it's very much like your family's style." Wen Yue stood up and picked up another bottle of soda.
Zuo Dao also opened the soda and took a sip. He discovered a key point:
"temperature..."
"Stop—" the old lady raised her hand:
"Don't call me ma'am. I feel uncomfortable, just call me old lady."
Zuo Dao nodded and continued bluntly:
"There's a question. Whether it's from the Southern Division, the report, or Mr. Wen's situation, I found that the place called Alaiman Territory seems to have a special, unknown effect on the Khalsa family where Ms. Elsa belongs. For what reason?
"Assuming this is the case, this operation should not be undertaken by Ms. Elsa. She can go back secretly and help dispel the power of the contract without worrying about it.
If you are in an important position and an unknown actor from the Chinese domain plays a revenge and return game with the Khalsa family, the early blows you will get will definitely be different, and the difficulty will also be different. "
Listening to Zuo Dao's question, with an expression of agreement with Elsa, the old lady raised her eyebrows:
"Indeed, the two attacks by the Khalsa family back then not only prevented them from approaching Huayu, but also had other factors mixed in, so they launched a thunderous attack.
"Well, old lady, I'll start with Elsa's question first——
"Zuo Dao, you have only been a member of the official for a short time. You should have always heard that this world is based on the four mysterious abilities of spells, rituals, secret rituals, and secret rituals, right?"
Wen Yue asked, Zuo Dao had some thoughts in his mind, but he responded:
"Basically, this is the case. Spells and rituals are manifestations of personal abilities. My authority is not high on the causes and specific representations of secret rituals. I can indeed understand part of them with my current authority, but I must be in the Chinese Territory for a long time."
Elsa raised her hand slightly at this time, looked to the left and said:
"I only know that the secret ritual is the elemental condition of a domain. The secret ritual is the pinnacle of people's mysteries. In my memory, there is no family in Bahamut that owns the secret ritual, including Khalsa. family."
"If it's not on the surface, it means it may be there secretly, and it may be there secretly, but it may not be independently developed like the General Affairs Bureau and the Observation Center. The source is relatively obscure. If it is made public directly, it will either be stabbed from the left or shot from the right?" Zuo Dao thought. ….
"Thank you, Ms. Elsa," he said.
Elsa nodded imperceptibly, then looked at the old lady, waiting for the next step.
"This is indeed the case, but the existence of secret treasures is very special. Before earlier times, it was not secret rituals that determined the internal and external identity conditions of the domain, but secret treasures.
"The Secret Hidden thing involves too much. Old lady, I didn't manage to enter the Secret Hidden even when I was in my prime. That thing seems to dislike me, so it's a shame.
"To put it simply, it can be understood as a machine that will automatically give birth to all kinds of weird and weird machines for some reason. Some have abilities that only one person can use, some can be taught only to Vatican people, and some can For external dissemination, here I only use the mysterious ability as a metaphor.
"Although most of the time, the secrets are useless, useless, and repetitive when given to everyone, there are some very important things that can be brought out of the place where the secrets are hidden, and eventually the inheritance of an era will be formed.
"The two largest inheritances in Huayu, called the 'spiritual power inheritance' and the 'spiritual refining inheritance', have blossomed under the hard work of countless ancestors. Unfortunately, they cannot withstand the changes of the times and have now come to an end.
"The key point I want to say, old lady, is that the secrets in each domain are different.
"The two main systems in the Alaiman region are the true name system and the contract system."
Old lady Wen Yue made a scissor hand gesture, paused and watched the two people's reactions.
Zuo Dao deliberately made a thoughtful expression. Although he was indeed thinking, he seemed to be cooperating with the other party's desire to express himself and took this opportunity to speed up the exploration of the world.
Elsa seemed very familiar, her eyes were clear, and the light of the strange child flowed:
"The grudges of our ancestors?"
"That's right, your father just ignored this point back then." Wen Yue approved, and then said:
"Todria Bahamut Dron Valha Khalsa.
"The five true names are the source of your power and your disaster.
"The true name and contract inheritance, let Elsa speak, she understands better."
Elsa looked at Zuodao again, soul fluctuations flashed between her eyebrows, and the communication of consciousness started.
"Hmm... I don't know how the power of the true name works. Mr. Zuo Dao can understand it as——
"The secrets of the Alaiman Realm will give some people an invisible blank proof. After these people leave and do certain things, they will have a certain kind of glory engraved on their surnames and gain a kind of power."
"It's very similar to the destiny system of Huayu."
, but there is a difference, because its judgment is more regular in my opinion, but its power pales in comparison to the destiny system. These people who have obtained authority and their descendants will get The help of real names.
"Khalsa is the name of our family. It comes from the Khalsa state in the Alaiman region. At that time, the first head of the family was the head of Khalsa state and was awarded the title of Grand Duke. The power of his true name was also engraved on all the people. Directly by blood.
"The state of Khalsa is a land of ice and snow. The true name is given to the Ice Scroll Gu, and the affairs and abilities related to it will receive an increase. The effect is best when it is within the Alaiman Territory. ….
"Walha is the Khalsa family. The first head of the family received a special inheritance in the secret treasure. It is called the lineage of noble blood. When the head of the family pushed this bloodline to its peak, it was also successfully imprinted in the true name. Even the branch with thin bloodline, You can also gain the potential to fully activate your bloodline.
"But the complete stimulation and innate analysis of the noble blood can only be activated by entering the secret treasure of the Alaiman Realm. Otherwise, it is no different from ordinary people. After our family leaves the Alaiman Realm, no one can activate this bloodline. It belongs to Very embarrassing situation.
"The real name of Delong was also acquired during the Aleman domain. It was the Knights of Delon established by the seventh head of the family. He made great achievements for the Aleman domain, and the Knights of Delon also became the name of the Aleman domain at that time. The strongest sharp knife in the world, and the imprint of this true name, allows us to get help when commanding battles or in individual duels.
"Bahamut came from that chaotic land. At that time, the sixteenth head of the family became the absolute talker of the place. This achievement was also imprinted with his real name, but I don't know exactly what he was given. After the family broke up, the identity was hidden. I was only six years old at that time, and no one told me in my memory.
"Todria was also created by the first head of the family. He is a miracle. He obtained the extremely rare mage bloodline in the secret treasure. It is equivalent to the first head of the family. One person obtained three bloodlines. In the Alaiman Domain, Meant to be a mysterious affinity person.
"However, the true name system is the system of the Alaiman domain after all. The family's departure from that place means that the power will be suppressed to the lowest level, unless we obtain the true name elsewhere and influence the liberation of all the true name power.
"The sixteenth head of the family, who is my grandfather, had this idea back then. He successfully obtained Bahamut's real name for us. As long as there is enough time, the Todria, Delon, and Val obtained in the Alaiman Territory will Ha, the suppression of the four real names of Khalsa has been lifted.
"What happened next, Mr. Zuo Dao, you should know, is that we suffered two devastating blows and completely lost Bahamut's right to rule. Our real name is useless to us.
"But the same is true for the true name itself. It is more like a pool of heritage. One person and one generation cannot create anything, but the more generations it is passed down, the more legends are created, and the more stable the success rate of future generations will be." 』
Elsa completed the information bombing, and Zuo Dao could feel that the little girl was still a little happy.
...How much does she dislike talking?
"Ms. Elsa, is there no problem with revealing your real name?" 』Left Dao Consciousness Exchange Reply.
The concept of a true name did not exist in the world before, but it is closer to the mysterious logic of this world, which is confidentiality. There is a Holy See in the West, and the exorcism process of the exorcists is not like that in the East. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, if you don't decide, you can call on the ancestors. If you can use your power to fight with a bayonet, you can also look at your own skills.
The process of exorcism in the West is more similar to that. To deal with someone who is easy to bully, you call your God and sprinkle holy water; but when you encounter a difficult problem or a powerful evil spirit, you will start an investigation to find out the direction of the evil spirit. Its "true name" creates weaknesses through corresponding process methods and completes the exorcism. ….
Therefore, after Zuo Dao learned that some weird systems had appeared in this world, the first thing that came to his mind was this question.
Regarding the left-field question, Elsa responded:
"Mr. Zuo Dao, no.
"On the contrary, the more people know and respect the true name, the more powerful it will be. 』
"okay. ” Zuo Dao responded.
"Well..." Elsa
Meditate a little in the space of consciousness:
"The contract system is quite special. The secret treasure in the Alaiman Realm will produce a contract certificate, which can be used to sign contracts with some special entities. The power of these entities will be given to others through the witness of the contract.
[To be honest, I have been using @ recently.
When speaking:
"I would like to confirm again that going to Bahamut is only in the preliminary preparation stage and is not actually a formal operation. It has nothing to do with us in terms of maintaining stability or peaceful development. Am I understanding it correctly?"
"Yes, yes." Wen Yue leaned back and confirmed.
"It's already a chaotic place. It can be chaotic, right?" Zuo Dao added.
Wen Yue squinted her eyes and said calmly: "Yes, it's already chaotic."
Zuo Dao smiled and said, "Our bottom line is not to let the people of Alaiman completely gain a foothold. Is this correct?"
Mrs. Wen did not reply directly. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the young man, as if she had discovered a new world:
"...That's right, before the Khalsa family led by Erza became the talkers——
"This is our bottom line. If it's not our territory, it's our enemy."
"Then..." Zuo Dao said for a moment:
"The report will cause trouble to Mr. Wen."
Wen Yue rubbed her hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked solemn:
"All the chaos is due to the sabotage in the Aleman domain."
At this moment, an old man and a young man looked at each other and smiled.
Elsa, who was still in a clear state, seemed to sense some extreme malice. .
