Chapter 2294: Selecting Personnel Personally

————Reserve Team Members~~

————

While pondering, Xia Duo had already made his own choice, and subsequently, he began to ask Busouganglaisi about the specific operational details:

"What are you going to do next? Are you returning to Yinnupulasi? Or what?"

"No, I will stay here. I will have Sainide send a message to the Elder here in Yinnupulasi on my behalf, and then just wait for the Prophet's response."

"Sainide? Can he contact the Elder?"

"Every settlement has an Elder. Not necessarily an Elder who openly passes down Knowledge and skills, but an Elder who carries on the Mulan people's free will, resistance plans, and is able to contact the Prophet."

"I understand."

Xia Duo's previous guess was correct; the Mulan people indeed had a hidden organizational network that connected all Mulan people together. Subsequently, he confirmed with Sainide:

"Do you think Elder Busouganglaisi's plan is feasible?"

"I don't know, but if I say some strange things in the settlement, it should attract the Elder's attention."

"Then that's it. I will have you go to the Mulan settlement here in Yinnupulasi under the guise of selecting Slaves. You decide for yourself how to handle the specifics."

Xia Duo gave Sainide his full trust, because this had nothing to do with him in the first place; it was the Mulan people seeking Jiusu, and he had only extended a helping hand after seeing a bit of benefit.

He really could not think of any reason for Sainide to obstruct him.

Of course, Xia Duo also confirmed in the Spirit Thought Network that Sainide's true thoughts were consistent with his Conscious Mind, and he was not trying to be clever and come up with any new tricks.

Next, Sainide and Busouganglaisi continued to discuss some situations they might encounter upon returning to the settlement and how to respond, after which Xia Duo brought Sainide back to Yinnupulasi.

……

Outside the temporary residence.

"Tax Official Jiamu, it has been many days, I have to trouble you again."

Xia Duo handed Sainide over to Jiamu, who had arrived upon hearing the news, and proposed his idea of wanting to purchase more Slaves. Sainide was his representative, acting on his behalf to select some Slaves with potential.

Regarding this, Jiamu did not refuse. Before coming, he had already received the Sending from Xia Duo, and had already consulted his superiors regarding the content, receiving an affirmative reply before coming here. This trip was merely a formality.

"Mage Asuosi, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this small matter for you properly!"

"Mm."

Watching the figures of Jiamu and Sainide gradually move away, Xia Duo did not return to the temporary residence, but instead headed to the Purple Star Tower to meet Prince Aben. Currently, the Mulan Slaves in Yinnupulasi had already been gathered in one place, which would be very convenient for Sainide to pass on information and for his subsequent purchases.

Furthermore, as long as he did not explicitly state that he was not buying, Yinnupulasi still had not dispersed those Mulan people; it was hard to say this was not Prince Aben's sincerity and expectation.

Xia Duo naturally had to express his gratitude in person and bid farewell to the other party.

After all, he had stayed behind these past few days due to Prince Aben's strong invitation, and had received exceptionally grand hospitality during these days. Now that he was leaving, it would not be very good not to say a word.

Declining Guleben's company, Xia Duo walked alone from the temporary residence toward the Purple Star Tower. Although he had been here many times before, every time he would have brand-new observations and insights.

He felt he could never see enough of this miracle of Psionic Creation.

Of course, this was mainly because he knew too little about Creation Magic and found it difficult to penetrate the Principles within it, so he could only rely on the manifested Reality to reverse-engineer the possible Principles, technology, and even the designer's intentions behind it, and so on.

……

The meeting with Prince Aben went very smoothly, and he proactively informed him of the current location of the Poche Magic Ship and the subsequent itinerary:

"If Mage Asuosi leaves within two days, you can head to Duo Lan; Councilor Poche and his subordinates are there. If you depart after two days, you can head directly to the Pawa Valley; they will be trading with the local garrison there for three days."

As for the use of the Purple Star hub, Prince Aben also gave a clear answer: as long as Xia Duo went over, he could use it at any time, but he raised a question that made Xia Duo somewhat troubled—

"Your Scepter has a large amount of Folded Space condensed on it; I am afraid it will be difficult to pass through a Plane portal."

With Xia Duo's knowledge, it was difficult to judge whether this problem was true or false, because in his view, a Floating City that had undergone spatial transformation was indeed difficult to pass through an ordinary Portal, but Yimaska's spatial technology seemed endless, and it was hard to say whether it would work or not.

After pondering, Xia Duo did not give a response on the spot, only saying he would consider it further. His words did not hide his interest in the Purple Star hub in the slightest, but the Floating City was a problem.

……

After leaving the Purple Star Tower, Xia Duo returned to the temporary residence and then entered the Floating City to discuss this matter with Niya and the others. It was finally decided that Niya would pilot the Floating City to catch up in normal space.

Xia Duo himself would use an avatar to experience the Purple Star hub. Although he was not yet very skilled at creating 【Xilin's Saint Form Avatar】 and needed to adopt Xilin's memories, and then clean up the ritual pollution afterward, this bit of trouble was completely negligible compared to risking his own physical body.

After making the decision, Xia Duo felt much more relaxed. Now he was just waiting for news from Sainide's side.

……

One day later, Sainide returned to the Floating City and interpreted the replies from the settlement Elders with Busouganglaisi; Xia Duo was also present to observe simultaneously.

Before long, Busouganglaisi told Xia Duo with a joyful expression, "My Lord, the Prophet has agreed to my request. Next, he will arrange a specific route map. My Lord only needs to go to each city in order according to the route map to bring back those who have preserved the artisan heritage."

"Is that so?"

Xia Duo was lost in thought. To be able to hand over the heritage in this way, either the settlements in those cities already had people who preserved the artisan heritage, or all of this was arranged by the Prophet.

If the relevant personnel were not in those specific cities but were temporarily transferred there, then the Prophet, or rather the Mulan people, likely had a much greater influence on Yimaska than he had imagined!

Although Slaves were managed by Slaves, to ensure that the transfer of personnel went without a hitch, it certainly required the cooperation of the Yimaska people. Whether active or passive, it indicated the influence of the Mulan people.

"Did the Prophet say which city is the first one?"

Xia Duo actually knew the answer to this question, but he did not want to show too much; there always had to be room for the Mulan people to play their part.

Regarding this, Busouganglaisi immediately replied: "It is right here in Yinnupulasi! However, the Prophet did not say who exactly holds the heritage, only saying that once more than two thousand clansmen are rescued, the inheritor will reveal themselves."

"At that time, My Lord can not only verify the authenticity of the heritage but also obtain the next city to go to."

"As long as there are more than two thousand people, does it definitely include the inheritor?"

"Yes, that is what the Prophet said. I believe he has no reason to deceive My Lord."

"Then let's try it!"
