Chapter 263: God-conferring Douluo
The light was still on in the front hall of the Duke's Mansion. Ye Xiaosheng had not yet removed the device that assisted in making the soul guide. He raised his arms and stretched, and when he looked up he saw Wang Nan walking in.
"Why aren't you resting so late?"
"You know, I'm not very regular in my rest time." Ye Xiaosheng stood up, "And once I start making a soul guide, it's normal to go for days and nights without rest."
"Why, are you short of materials again?"
"This time it's not about the materials." Ye Xiaosheng's face became more serious, "Soul guides similar to those in Gengxin City have appeared in other cities."
"Which one is this time?"
"There's more than one kind. The last soul-guided vehicle could only operate in the city due to road conditions, so there were relatively few imitations. However, a large number of other gadgets suddenly appeared."
Wang Nan raised his eyebrows and sat on a chair beside him. "How is the quality of those things?"
"The quality is acceptable." Ye Xiaosheng said as he moved closer. "You won't just ignore it like you did the last time, will you?"
"You know me well." Wang Nan nodded. "Anyway, our influence will be much smaller outside of Liujin Province. We can just let them do it. As long as the quality is up to standard, it will make life more convenient for ordinary people in the end."
"As expected of you." Ye Xiaosheng gave Wang Nan a thumbs up. "By the way, the new sound transmission soul guide you asked me to research has been made. As long as the relay device is launched into the sky like the high-altitude detection soul guide, it will be enough to cover the entire Gengxin City."
"It's just that the recharging of the relay device needs further consideration. In addition, its range is limited. Currently, it can only be used in Gengxin City."
"That's enough." Wang Nan nodded gently. "Take your time. Researching soul guides is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Slowly iterating will always lead to progress."
"Although you don't make soul guides very often, you know these things very well. I don't know what's wrong with your brain, but you come up with these ideas so easily. I'm glad I came here with you."
"These are all I have." Wang Nan sighed, "It's a pity that these things can't help you break through to the soul guide level."
"I'm different from you guys." Ye Xiaosheng glanced at Wang Nan and said seriously, "Although we both graduated from Shrek Academy, I know that with my own talent, I'm still a long way from being a true genius like Yu Hao."
"The eighth-level soul engineer is almost my limit. I am already very satisfied to be able to research and make various soul guides here. Most of the soul guides used by ordinary people outside are designed and made by me. This kind of treatment is the dream of any soul engineer."
Ye Xiaosheng was talking when his expression suddenly changed. He looked up and saw Ma Xiaotao walking in.
"Well, you must have some important business to come back for this time, so I'll go back and rest first, and not disturb you guys."
"go with!"
Ma Xiaotao just covered her mouth and chuckled, watching Ye Xiaosheng leave.
"Everyone knows that the soul guide made by Ye Xiaosheng came from Duke Qitian's Mansion. They dared to imitate it. I'm afraid there are other people behind it."
"Did you hear what was said just now?" Wang Nan also watched Ye Xiaosheng's back disappear outside the front hall.
"Yeah, you guys don't seem to be avoiding people."
"Those nobles in the Xingluo Empire couldn't win me over, so they thought of using these little tricks. I'm not promoting soul guides to make a lot of gold soul coins, so just let them be. I don't bother to argue with them."
"Forget it, let's not talk about these things. What is the matter that Yuhao came here for?" Wang Nan looked up at Ma Xiaotao.
"Have you noticed it?" Ma Xiaotao sat down close to Wang Nan.
"Yeah, I noticed it right after I came in." "Yuhao came here at noon today, and the news from the Xingluo Empire came a little later."
Ma Xiaotao handed over an envelope with the seal of the Xing Luo Empire royal family printed on it, and it looked like it had never been opened.
"Yuhao said that this time the Xingluo Empire wants you to rescue a ninth-level soul master. Originally, they were attracted by Yuhao's ability to conceal and change his aura, but later they felt that Yuhao's strength was a little weak, so they wanted you to accompany him."
Wang Nan quickly scanned the contents of the letter while listening, and paused for a moment on the title "Fengshen".
Fengshen Douluo, if Wang Nan guessed correctly, was the soul guide who created the ninth-level soul guide device Fengshen Platform, sealed the Snow Empress when she transformed, and handed over the Fengshen Platform and the Snow Empress to the Star Luo Empire.
Originally, this soul engineer would be discovered by the Sun-Moon Empire when the Xing Luo Empire auctioned the embryos, but now things seem to have changed.
After the continental war, the three empires have begun to fully accept soul guides, but they started too late, and none of the three empires has their own ninth-level soul guide.
Therefore, Xingluo Empire urgently needed this Conferred God Douluo. Moreover, Conferred God Douluo had passed on a lot of information during the war on the continent, so he was considered a meritorious official, so naturally, it was impossible to abandon him.
I just heard that there was no news about Fengshen Douluo when the war on the continent was about to end. How come he needs rescue only now?
Wang Nan quickly finished reading the contents of the letter. According to what was said in the letter, the failure of the continental war had also caused turmoil within the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire. This Conferred God Douluo was a subordinate of one of the princes who advocated peace.
That's why he kept delivering news to the Xingluo Empire at that time. Now Xu Tianran has quelled the internal strife in the royal family, and Fengshen Douluo has also fallen into their hands, and now it should be in the territory of the Holy Spirit Church.
"Dongyang City." Wang Nan put away the letter and read out a name.
"Is this where you and Yuhao are going this time?"
"Yeah." Wang Nan nodded. He was not unfamiliar with this place. There were indeed many evil soul masters in it, and according to what Nangong Wan said, there might be other secrets of the Holy Spirit Church in Dongyang City.
"Do you want me to go with you?"
“No need.” Wang Nan put away the letter and stood up. “Even if there is any danger, the Sun Moon Empire alone cannot stop me. You just stay here and take care of the house.”
Ma Xiaotao blushed when she heard this, but still nodded, "Okay."
"Let's go, get some rest tonight and leave early tomorrow morning."
A night of tenderness that goes without saying.
In the early morning of the next day, Huo Yuhao woke up from meditation and looked at the sun rising in the east. A hint of purple flashed in his eyes.
After a moment, he got up and went to the front hall, where Wang Nan was already waiting.
"Brother Wang!" Huo Yuhao shouted in surprise.
"Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao saw a smile on Wang Nan’s face, which was no different from when he was a child.
