Chapter 362: The meaning of the covenant

Sonia looked at Pang Ting with some surprise. At the very beginning, the

patriarch was still quite unoptimistic about whether Jinxia could accept the

World Islanders. Now he thought about the problem on the premise of continuing

the relationship between the two sides.

"Do you think I can't feel the change of the tree boat?" Pang Ting smiled

bitterly, "If there is a place to settle down, no one will choose to live a

wandering life. The children in my clan are those who stay on land. Time is

almost longer than going home."

"What do other families think?"

"I haven't asked them for their opinions, but as long as you nod, they should

follow your ideas. After all, this matter will not damage their real

interests-children can be sent to Jinxia, and adults will suffer the most."

"What's Noah's situation?" Sainia pondered.

"There are reserves of various materials that can support a voyage of about

half a year. These three months of repairs are all for the tree boat to be

able to set off at any time." Pang Ting replied, "The only problem is that

there is no one in the sea. I have been to the waters there and what we will

encounter there is still a blank in the plan. But the good news is that the

empire’s ships will not follow along."

"...I understand." The high priest was silent for a while, "I have to talk to

the head of Jinxia City on this matter, which can be regarded as a reminder

that the threat of the empire is close at hand."

"Naturally, but if you can, don't let this news go out."

"I know." Sonia showed a sad look. Perhaps some of the escape trees had fallen

into the enemy's hands, but they couldn't do anything.

She looked up at the night sky-there was no glimmer of stars in the chaotic

twilight.

After escaping the World Island, she should have been used to wandering.

But for some reason, Sania felt a bit of reluctance at this time.

...

Xia Fan didn't expect the Elf High Priest to visit him late at night.

He was still stunned when he heard the guard's announcement, but the gaze of

the fox demon behind him quickly made him react, "Ahem, please go to the

meeting hall, I will change my clothes and go."

Li threw his coat to him, "It seems that she must have something very urgent."

"I think so."

"Don't worry, I won't overhear."

Xia Fan rolled his eyes silently, and he seemed to have heard this before-

deliberately eavesdropping is not possible, but the ear happened to hear that

and there was no way.

Who makes the fox demon sensitive to hearing?

"You just go with me, it's pretty cold on the roof in winter."

"Who said I would squat on the roof!" Li's tail stood up.

"Alright, I was wrong, then do you want to come?"

"...It's okay to meet."

Xia Fan couldn't help but chuckle, "Then go."

Entering the meeting hall, he found that besides Kai Sanya, there was Pang

Ting, the patriarch of the Shaman family.

The look of the two made him realize that the visit might not bring good news.

"Good evening, I hope it didn't bother you to rest." Sainia nodded in

greeting.

Xia Fan bowed his hand in return, "It's okay, the two must have something to

tell you. Is something happening on the boat?"

This is also what he has been worried about. After all, not all elves are as

cheerful as Ai Li, and there will inevitably be disputes and frictions during

the integration period.

"That's not true, but the problem is far more troublesome than this." Sainia

recounted the discovery of the dock area and his own inference in detail. "If

Noah can go south temporarily, those chasing soldiers should not be close to

the coastline of Jinxia. Of course, the risk of Noah's own discovery is not

high. After all, he is sailing against the ocean current, and the enemy will

not do such a thankless search without an exact target."

Xia Fan's attention was completely attracted by another incident.

"Do you think-there may be another escaped tree boat in this area of the

East China Sea? Is there any way to confirm or contact them?"

Sainia was stunned, "Master Fu Cheng, if it really exists, it is very likely

that it has fallen into the enemy's hands. Otherwise, the people above will

not escape by the green shuttle."

"But you also said that those people who plunder the world island want the

seeds of the tree spirits and the spirits who can manipulate the seeds? This

means that they will not kill the people on the tree boat."

The high priest covered his mouth, "Did you mean—"

"Of course I tried to save them." Xia Fan said righteously, "Didn't we have

signed an agreement to jointly respond to the imperial threat?"

Another tree boat means that it is a new batch of elves!

As we all know, the sea area east of Jinxia is naturally owned by Jinxia. As

for whether it is twelve nautical miles or 120 nautical miles, there is no

ocean convention law anyway, and it is obviously all Jinxia has the final say.

How can there be such a cheap thing to ** one's own population in one's own

territory?

"But with all due respect \--" Pang Ting interjected, "the other party owns a

sea boat, and you don't have the ability to take the initiative to attack."

"But you do." Xia Fan's thoughts turned sharply, "Noah's Ark does have to

move, but instead of going south, it cooperates with Jinxia. As for the

specific plan, it depends on the specific information. So the problem is

again. Back to the original point, first we have to grasp the situation as

much as possible, including how many enemies there are and where they are."

He paused, "If the opponent is the main fleet coming out from the nest, it is

indeed a bit difficult to deal with, avoiding the edge is a wise move. But it

is just a chasing force, and it should not be helpless. Use the tree spirit to

face the artillery. There must be a certain risk for Noah, but the two don't

want to just give up those arrested companions? As long as we cooperate and

fight side by side, there may be a turning point in this matter."

Sania bit her lip, and the phrase "we" made her unable to say a word for a

long time.

She originally only wanted to keep a part of the elves in Jinxia City and use

the covenant to let Xia Fan keep the young people. She didn't expect that he

would directly treat those fugitives who fell into the hands of the empire as

the objects of the contract.

It is true that the covenant was signed like this ~www.mtlnovel.com~ But as

the governor, she of course also knows that the power of interpretation of the

terms often lies with the high-ranking party, not to mention that Xia Fan's

idea is not only to resist and protect, it is fast Into the trend of taking

the initiative to meet.

Sania and Pang Ting looked at each other, the latter leaned slightly, and

stopped talking.

This is an expression left to her.

The high priest stood up, bowed to Xia Fan by pressing his chest, and then

solemnly said, "On behalf of the residents of the world island, thank you. No

matter what happens, Noah Shuzhou will remember this kindness. What we need to

do next, Please do not hesitate to tell."

Xia Fan didn't evade, "Is there a way to connect the boats?"

"The tree spirits are independent individuals and have nothing to do with each

other. However, the seeds born from the tree spirits can resonate a little

with itself." Sainia replied, "Aili can find Noah in the sea because of her.

The manipulative green shuttle is derived from Noah’s fruit."

Xia Fan immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words, "So

using the caught green shuttle, we also have a chance to find the source of

its birth."

"Exactly." The high priest nodded.
