"Ahem." Faced with Ziya's sarcasm, Shaji could only change the topic again.
"Miss Jiya, please choose the third item."
"However, according to the customs over there, the third one is also the last one."
"You didn't choose the most valuable treasure chest from the previous two items. Now, you still have one chance left."
Having said this, Sha Ji thought for a while and finally revealed something: "The grade of this treasure itself is the Holy Domain level. For me, it is of little use. But for you, even for the noble clan leader, it is also
Very helpful.”
"The maker of this treasure is Grandmaster Qiaofu!"
Hearing Qiaofu's name, Zaiya's face changed, and her eyes showed a solemn look.
She originally wanted to choose directly, but now she is a little hesitant.
To be honest, she doesn't care about what treasures she can get.
But if it can help the Lord of Spitfire City...
Ji Ya couldn't help but feel a little excited.
She looked at a pile of treasure boxes and said thoughtfully: "I'm a little curious, are there any other tips?"
This is obviously the best time to please Ji Ya.
But Sha Ji showed a solemn expression for the first time in this meeting. He shook his head slowly: "I'm sorry."
"The story of the Three Treasures of the God King is not just a story, it is also part of our customs and beliefs."
"Miss Zaiya should also know this story."
"If you know what is hidden in the treasure chest in advance, then what's the point of choosing?"
"You can't force something that has no fate."
"It's like my marriage to you."
The last sentence made Ji Ya show a strange color.
Since the meeting, she has been deliberately making things difficult and sarcastic, and this attitude has already shown her thoughts on this marriage.
Shaji's words revealed that he was mentally prepared for the failure of this marriage. This immediately made Zi Ya feel a little more relaxed, and for the first time, she felt pleasing to the eyes of Shaji in front of her.
"Okay, then I'll choose this one." Li Ya didn't hesitate anymore and randomly selected a treasure box.
There is no difference between the appearance of the treasure chests. Of course, there may be flaws, so I need to do my best to investigate them.
Just like she used her tongue to taste wine before, and used her eyes to see through the sand boat model. These are all her alchemy skills.
But as Shaji said, this selection is not a game, nor is it purely an act to please Ji Ya. It also contains the customs and beliefs of the Shahuang clan.
Beliefs, in particular, cannot be slandered.
Therefore, if Ziya uses alchemy to check the reality of the treasure box as she did before, then she will be a huge offense to Shaji and even the Shahuang clan.
Although Ziya is reluctant to get married, she also doesn't want to make enemies and cause trouble for the Lord of Spitfire City, whom she respects and loves the most.
The last treasure chest is opened.
Inside is a piece of paper and a pen.
No need for Shaji to explain, Ziya was already disappointed. She could see that although this was an alchemy treasure, it was by no means a work of luck.
"It's a pity, Miss Yaya, that you didn't choose that treasure in the end." Shaji shook his head with a sincere expression.
"It's not that I won't help you."
"Actually, I don't know the difference between these boxes and what is hidden inside them."
"The person who keeps these treasure chests is one of our clan elders. Although his strength has dropped to the gold level, under his strict supervision, I, the future sole heir, cannot violate the rules."
"but……"
Having said this, Shaji changed the topic again.
"Although this treasure chest is not the most valuable treasure, it is still very precious."
"It can even be said that it is more suitable for us than that treasure."
"This leather roll is pitch black inside and out. It's the leather of legendary black graffiti."
"And this white pen, according to the information left by the maker, is called a signal pen."
"Black paper and white pen need to be used in conjunction with each other to bring out the power of this set of alchemical items."
"This was accidentally discovered by the warriors of our clan during an exploration of the ruins."
"The specific method is to tear the black paper in half and separate the two places. As long as one side uses a signal pen to write on half of the black paper, then the writing will appear on the black paper in the other place."
"We still have to measure the current communication limits."
"Let's put it this way, even if we are separated by vast oceans, you are on the Fire Island and I am on the Frost Continent, we can still communicate through this leather scroll. The time difference is almost zero, and the content is not distorted."
"As far as I know, the current intelligence transmission of the Imperial Navy is through the most advanced magic communication device, and the time difference is about half a day to one day."
Zaiya nodded slightly: "What you are referring to is the normal contact method of the Imperial Navy. Of course, they also have emergency contact methods, which are similar to this and cannot be commonly used."
Ji Ya picked up the black paper and began to use alchemy skills to study it.
After a while, she had the result: "Black Graffiti is a monster from the shadow plane. The reason why this alchemy item can be transmitted quickly is with the help of the shadow plane. It is equivalent to a detour, so it can be transmitted at the minimum cost."
, it can do things that conventional advanced communication devices cannot do.”
"Because of this, if someone discovers how it works, they will target it through the shadow plane."
"Once targeted, this alchemical item can easily become ineffective and may even convey false information."
After saying these words, the smile on Shaji's face became stiff again.
But Zaiya changed the subject: "It uses biological alchemy. Now in this field, the best in the world should be war dealers. This is not the field that the patriarch and I are good at. Leave this to the teacher, maybe
It can bring her some inspiration and ideas."
Sha Ji laughed and looked deeply at Ji Ya: "If this treasure can bring some help to the Lord of Spitfire City, that would be the best, and it would also be our honor."
"However, I hope that we can use this treasure to pass information between each other."
Ji Ya immediately frowned.
Shaji spread his hands and said with a smile: "Even if our marriage fails, it doesn't mean we can't cooperate, right? We can also be friends. Isn't it weird for friends to write letters to each other?"
Ji Ya's brows furrowed even deeper.
Shaji sighed: "Actually, Miss Zuiya, you don't have to be like this."
"My caravan has been stationed in Spitfire City for some time, and we have not wasted this time."
"The Lord of Spitfire City has invited quite a few outstanding giants, but his attempts to marry you have all failed."
"Among them, there are even those with better conditions than me."
"If you don't look down on these people, I have already been prepared to fail."
"As for writing letters and contacting each other later, it's not that I want to continue to pester you."
"It's because you and I have a lot of room for cooperation and can support each other as excellent allies!"
"The Spitfire City... is not big, it can even be said to be weak. Just like my tribe, we should unite closely and help each other."
Zaiya couldn't help but raise her brows and sneered: "You said I, Spitfire City...weak?"
"Of course." Shaji raised his index finger, "One thing is very important. Strength and weakness are relative. There is a city lord in Spitfire City, and there are also outstanding giants such as Miss Jiya and you. Compared with most forces,
They are all high-class. But compared to the Shengming Empire, they are certainly weak."
Ziya sneered again: "The empire is the strongest force in the main world, and anyone who compares with it is weak."
"That's right." Shaji retracted his hand, put it on his knees, and straightened his waist, "It is precisely because he is weak that he needs to save himself. In my opinion, the nobles' foundation in Spitfire City is already in jeopardy. If we don't take advantage of this
At the last opportunity, we find a way out. Then the future of the nobles will be bleak, and it is possible that they may even come to an end."
Zaiya's face turned ugly: "You are alarmist!"
"Of course not!" Sha Ji's tone increased. He changed his gentle attitude before, his body became extremely serious, his eyes were solemn, and he stared at Ji Ya without turning around.
"I know the history of the nobility very well. It was once very glorious. There was even the prototype of a kingdom on the Red Earth Plateau."
"But unfortunately, the founding of the country was not completed, and the expansion of the Shengming Empire was encountered at the critical moment."
"You are the last and largest giant group in the Shengming Continent. Facing the extremely powerful empire, you can only choose to surrender. Resistance will be destroyed, but escaping will be captured. The emperor's eyes are everywhere."
Ziya retorted: "At the beginning, we were about to engage in a national war. It was Emperor Shengming who came in person to discuss with the elders of our clan. After paying a certain price, we agreed to the covenant proposed by Emperor Shengming. From then on.
, our clan has become an ally of the Shengming Empire.”
"Allies?" Sha Ji showed a sarcastic smile, "Then how does the empire treat its allies?"
"Once upon a time, the vast and mineral-rich red clay plateau was the home of the nobility."
"What now?"
"The red soil plateau is full of people, and they are all human towns."
