Luo Zhen noticed this and showed it to Talulah: "Look at Wei Yanwu, he's a man, but he's more feminine than you!"
Wei Yanwu's hand froze, and he subconsciously withdrew it, putting it behind his back. He glared at Wei Yanwu, puffing out his cheeks, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm a man, where would I get any femininity?"
Luo Zhen said, "As everyone knows, only men understand men best, so it's normal for you, as a man, to have a feminine side."
Talulah fell into deep thought. The Black Serpent had lived for so long, and had changed bodies countless times. Who knew if he was originally a man or a woman? Maybe the Black Serpent was a woman once?
It's one thing for a woman to be stronger than her, but Wei Yanwu, a man who already has a wife, also has more women than her? Is that reasonable?
Looking at Wei Yanwu, who still retained a trace of maternal instinct, she couldn't help but say, "Uncle, you were clearly a brave and valiant man when you were little. Even when I returned to Longmen a few days ago, you were still a formidable man. How did you become so effeminate!"
Wei Yanwu cursed inwardly, "Damn it, how did I end up like this? Don't you have any self-awareness? It's all because you lured Luo Zhen here!"
"Speaking of which, you were not welcoming to me at first because you were very resistant to Luo Zhen appointing me as the governor of Lungmen. But these past few days, Zha has been staying by my side, explaining things to me in detail, as if he wanted to teach me 24 hours a day."
Talulah noticed something amiss. "You wouldn't be trying to take advantage of me and absorb my femininity, would you?"
Unbelievable! I'm a grown man, who would want that kind of thing? And do you even have one?
Wei Yanwu began to doubt Talulah's brain structure. Was she really human? Wouldn't a hybrid of a red dragon and a true dragon affect her intelligence?
He said coldly, "How can you extract something that doesn't exist?"
Luo Zhen, seeing the black snake in his hand as the two bickered, felt relieved: "So Talulah, you really do have a problem with your brain. You just happened to run into this person. Go be a tomboy for the rest of your life."
Talulah had never heard such a vicious curse: "Black Serpent, I will kill you sooner or later!"
The black snake sneered, "Even if you kill me, you're still a tomboy. Do you even know how to be a woman?"
She even winked at Luo Zhen; the mere change in her expression made her seem like a completely different person, exuding a captivating charm.
Wei Yanwu coughed lightly. Although he suspected his niece was suspicious, he knew that if he let the black snake continue its rampage, it might attack him soon.
"Luo Zhen, if you bring her out, won't that completely eliminate the threat he poses to Xiao Ta?"
“In fact, Originium Arts still connects them, like this.”
As soon as Luo Zhen let go, the black snake immediately merged into Talulah's body.
He pulled the black snake out again: "I'm here to test something else."
Koschke looked very weak. Luo Zhen had used the Taixu Divine Sword several times last time and almost killed her.
This time, Luo Zhen's task is to repair her soul and check for any hidden dangers.
After actually using his ability, Luo Zhen discovered that it consumed a great deal of energy when repairing things. Even though he still had plenty of magic power in his body, he already felt tired, mostly due to the depletion of his mental strength.
He looked at Koschche's somewhat unrefined soul and thought of Bai Heng's fragmented consciousness, which lacked any real control and could only be considered a piece of a consciousness. He felt very helpless. He was afraid that he would not be able to be resurrected for a while unless his soul was greatly strengthened or the skill level was increased.
Next comes the technology of killing souls and bringing them back to life.
This concept refers to a high-level technique in dragon alchemy: killing metal and then giving it new life, resulting in the purest regenerated metal.
This metal will exhibit different properties depending on the forger's will.
So what happens if you kill a soul and then resurrect it? What kind of soul can you forge?
The intense heat flowed from Luo Zhen's palm, and the black snake's soul structure began to change drastically, changing according to Luo Zhen's will.
A sudden realization dawned on him. With a wave of his hand, the sword at Talulah's waist fell into his grasp, and he directly merged the Black Serpent's soul into it.
He can use human souls as material to forge them into objects, making them living beings within them, and he can also set specific conditions for them, so that only those who meet the conditions can use them.
For example, Luo Zhen can forge a person's soul to conform to the characteristics of a sword spirit, then stuff her into a sword to become a sword spirit. He can also set conditions, such as requiring the user to recite "Talulah has no femininity" in order to use the sword; otherwise, the sword spirit will refuse to unleash the sword's power.
The person who recites the incantation can command the sword spirit to wield the immortal sword and fight on its own.
This is a perfect match for alchemy masters, as it allows them to infuse their advanced alchemical items with life, turning manual processes into automated ones. However, Luo Zhen does not know alchemy and cannot forge alchemical items with various special functions.
This is unprecedented, because [Spirit Reforging] is one of the seven kingdoms of alchemy. It requires in-depth study of alchemy, reaching its pinnacle, and comprehending the method of forging the soul.
Luo Zhen directly extracted the method for forging souls.
But it doesn't matter, Luo Zhen has projection magic!
He can project objects with various special abilities and create spirits for them.
However, this would mean that the illusion collapse technique could no longer be used, and magic power would have to be provided continuously to maintain the existence of the projected objects.
In this case, a projection sword alone is not enough; it would be better to have something more comprehensive for projection.
The next step is to improve the width of the projection magic so that I can project any item up to the maximum size of projected swords.
Or, go find Lao Yang, get the Core of Reason, and take it in.
Luo Zhen hadn't forgotten that in the previous civilization, after he killed Yan Lu and was holding Yan Lu's corpse, the commission system had reminded him whether he wanted to spend commission crystals to house Yan Lu's core.
Understanding and recreating creations feels like a perfect match for projection magic.
While thinking, Luo Zhen's hands didn't stop. He set conditions for the black snake. Those who met the conditions had to obey his orders, while those who didn't meet the conditions were ignored.
He handed the sword to Talulah: "She can't disobey your orders now. Ask her to help you fight against the other politicians, and she will do everything in her power to help you."
"real or fake?"
Talulah, sword in hand, said, "Black Serpent, bark like a dog."
"Wow wow wow!"
The sound of a dog barking came from the sword. Talulah didn't tell her to stop, and the black snake kept barking.
"Really? That's amazing?"
Wei Yanwu took the sword and wanted to try it out: "Kosich, quickly say that Wei Yanwu is your father."
From within the sword came Kosiché's furious voice: "Wei Yanwu, your mother is dead!"
The words are concise and concise, and speak directly from the heart.
Wei Yanwu's expression darkened slightly: "It seems that this black snake hasn't changed its evil nature. I think we need to teach it a lesson."
Luo Zhen said, "Because I set conditions for this sword, you can't command it if you don't meet those conditions."
Talulah asked curiously, "What are the conditions?"
Luo Zhen paused for a second: "You just need someone tailor-made for you. Don't ask any more questions. It's hard to find someone else who meets the criteria."
The actual condition is a woman who lacks femininity.
Not even the slightest bit does it meet the requirements.
Of course, as the forger, he can use the living beings he forges unconditionally.
"This sword has no special abilities; it can't even fly."
Luo Zhen said, "Even if you join Black Serpent, she can only give you advice and can't do anything else. However, given the Originium Arts she possesses, you can communicate telepathically as long as you have physical contact, and others can't hear your conversations."
"It can be considered turning waste into treasure."
Talulah, sword in hand, immediately asked in her mind, "Black Serpent, tell me quickly, how do I become more feminine?"
Luo Zhen, didn't you say Black Snake is more feminine than me? Well then, I'll just learn from Black Snake and make you look at me with new eyes sooner or later!
When I return after completing my studies, I'll be a stunningly beautiful young woman, and I'll give you a real surprise. I'll seduce you to death!
Skirt. Chatting about the umbrella, Talulah felt a surge of satisfaction.
In the following days, with the help of the Black Serpent, Talulah debated with the scholars, severely damaging the arrogance of the Lungmen nobles. With the assistance of Wei Yanwu, she successfully gained control and became the de facto governor of Lungmen.
This is not to say that Kosiché's political tactics were particularly brilliant. In a world where bloodline represents power and kings and generals truly have a special destiny, there is no such thing as ingenious alliances and strategic maneuvering, nor is it possible to use leverage against each other. Instead, there is a wealth of extraordinary wisdom everywhere.
Before Wei Yanwu came to Lungmen, how did Black Serpent, an Ursus nobleman, manage to control Lungmen in secret? He relied on seizing incriminating evidence, digging up dirt, exploiting weaknesses, and the armed forces he possessed.
It should be noted that when Wei Yanwu came to Longmen, he took away sixteen imperial guards who were exclusively assigned to the emperor. Coupled with his own formidable strength, he still suffered two major losses at the hands of Koschich. In this respect, Koschich has already done the best he can within his capabilities.
As for Wei Yanwu himself, he couldn't possibly help Talulah with all his might, because that would offend too many people and cause him a lot of trouble without any benefit.
On the contrary, after Black Serpent helped Talulah, the situation was already set, and he went with the flow, putting in even more effort than before.
The changes in the positions at Longmen attracted a lot of attention, and the first to receive the news was the Great Yan True Dragon.
"Wei Yanwu, I never expected him to suffer a loss at the hands of his own niece. He's getting more and more useless as he gets older."
Zhenlong sneered. Just by looking at Lungmen's current policies, he knew that Talulah was not a puppet, but the one in charge. Wei Yanwu had no reason to support her. Even his pure-blooded true dragon niece, Chen Huijie, was only a police superintendent.
The Grand Tutor said, "I heard that the Dragon Lord intends to assist her."
How Talulah crossed Ursus to reach Lungmen, and how she became the governor of Lungmen, was impossible to hide from so many people in the Reunion Movement, and Ryoujin didn't intend to hide it either.
The dragon sighed, "His niece is so lucky. If the Dragon Lord were to come and assist me, or even take this position in my place, that would be wonderful."
The Grand Tutor cautioned, "Your Majesty, be careful with your words."
The Great Yan Dynasty killed many giant beasts, and even now, there is still a time bomb under the throne of the Great Yan True Dragon Emperor: the giant beast.
Therefore, Wei Yanwu did not inherit the throne, which aroused the Great Yan True Dragon's dissatisfaction with Wei Yanwu, who had tricked him into taking the throne.
Although behemoths and beast lords are different concepts, it is still inappropriate for an emperor to say such things. Even saying something like "Let the Dragon Lord assist a new emperor" would be better.
"Wei Yanwu has no son yet. Theoretically, the position of Governor of Lungmen should have been passed on to Chen Huijie. But now that Talulah has taken it, where will Chen Huijie go in the future?"
Upon hearing the words of the Great Yan True Dragon, the Grand Tutor had already guessed his intentions.
"Grand Tutor, send a few people to congratulate Talulah on becoming the Governor of Lungmen, to test the attitude of the Dragon Lord, and to see if Chen Huijie is a promising talent."
"The two sisters have a good relationship. I can't just take their place and do nothing. I'll be the good guy."
I think you're clearly trying to shift the blame!
The Grand Tutor understood the Great Yan Emperor's thoughts all too well. Wasn't it because Wei Yanwu left the throne to him that he planned to take revenge on Wei Yanwu's niece?
If Wei Yanwu had children, he would probably try to pass the throne to them.
Previously, Chen Huijie lacked the ability, so the Emperor of Great Yan did not consider this idea. If she had a powerful beast lord to assist her, and if Sui were to awaken, she would be able to suppress Sui even more than the current Emperor.
This completely shifted the blame.
The Grand Tutor also knew Chen Huijie. He was upright but lacked political acumen and his abilities were only average. If such a person could rise to power, it would be beneficial for an important minister like himself: "Your subject obeys the decree."
It wasn't just the Great Flame True Dragon that took action; Nian, one of the Year Fragments, also heard the news. She had lived for so long and had been to many places on the Terra Continent, but she had never heard of such a Beast Lord.
"The year is also in the shape of a dragon."
Nian became interested. "If it's the Lord of Dragons, would he have a way to deal with Sui?"
Although the hope was slim, she did not want to give up. She was one of the fragments that had separated from Sui. Once Sui woke up, he might take her back. At that time, she would die, and all traces left in the world would disappear.
He set off that year: "Hopefully he'll be easy to get along with. [Unintelligible characters]"
