The apostles are those who can communicate with the will of the city and sign a soul contract with them, and walk around the world on behalf of the will of the city.

There are very few people with the talent of apostles. Even in the nine hundred years of history of the Xiyuan Empire, there are only seven recorded apostles.

But undoubtedly, every apostle is very powerful.

This is not because of how strong they are themselves, but because the apostles can borrow the power of the city's will.

But this borrowing is obviously not costless, because in all records, the lifespan of the apostles is very short.

They are like fireworks in the summer night sky, although extremely gorgeous, but they are short-lived.

Of course, Lin Yan is not very clear about the above things.

Now he has just completed a temporary contract with Xicheng, becoming a temporary apostle of Xicheng, and used Xicheng's power to pinch a temporary body outside the prison that was completely different from the body he is using now.

"It seems that you are indeed a little different from the previous apostles." Looking at Lin Yan, who was well adapted to the borrowed power, Xicheng suddenly said: "But even so, I still recommend that you rescue Sangsang as quickly as possible. Human beings are too fragile. Take the extra second of my power, your soul will have an extra risk of collapse."

"Of course, there is no problem in a short period of time, and you don't have to worry too much." As if he was worried that Lin Yan would retreat because of this, he added.

Lin Yan didn't say anything. He could sense the powerful power of the temporary body he was using now, and he could also sense his mental power that had collapsed to the extreme because of the inclusion of this power.

Now he is like a balloon that has been blown to the extreme. He may not explode in a short period of time, but once he has been too long, he or she continues to blow it in, or encounters something, blowing it up is the only ending.

Even if he didn't understand the various records about the apostles in the Xiyuan Empire, Lin Yan could guess at this moment that most things like apostles might not be very long-lived.

Because accepting the power of the city's will with the soul of a mortal is equivalent to dancing on the tip of a knife, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be doomed.

However, Lin Yan was not too surprised by this result, as risk was already as expected.

After all, there is no free lunch in this world.

So he did not feel any dissatisfaction because of it. He just calmed down and became familiar with the power he had now, and looked in a certain direction.

That is the direction where Sangsang is in the mouth of Xicheng.

Then, he disappeared.

This is not teleportation. The power Xicheng lent to Lin Yan does not include the part of the space power.

This is just a illusion of disappearance given to others after reaching the extreme speed.

...

Xicheng, central city.

Compared with the old and crowded areas in the outer city, the streets in the central city are obviously more neat and wide, and even the technological creatures exposed outside are obviously more advanced than those in the outer city.

This is not surprising. After all, the central urban area is the residence of citizens who "has high value" of scholars, awake party members, technicians, and wealthy businessmen. According to the national conditions of the Xiyuan Empire, they naturally have the right to enjoy a better life than those wanderers, wanderers, unemployed and unskilled workers in the outer urban area.

At this moment, compared to the outer city area that is almost completely black, the central city area is still brightly lit. Although there is no electricity in this world, relying on its own unique magic energy as energy, the Xiyuan Empire still pointed out a strange technology tree. Naturally, it also pointed out various technological creations driven by magic energy, including things similar to electric lights.

As mentioned casually, although this country already has travel tools similar to airplanes and there are magic trains similar to trains between cities, but they still rely on horse-drawn carriages and walking in cities.

It’s not that there are no things similar to cars, but cars in this world have major flaws, so few people go to ride.

"brush--"

On the streets where there are not too few pedestrians, the ordinary carriages drove by quietly from the outside.

The driver of the carriage is also an ordinary man who wears a very common standard clothing. He will forget about his face, which is the expression of focusing on rushing the car.

Suddenly, the coachman's eyes changed slightly, and then he freed a hand and stroked through the air.

The blue thunder emerged with his movements, wrapping every inch of gap on the edge of the carriage, and forcing Lin Yan, who originally wanted to rely on the speed advantage to see if he could directly catch the mission target.

There is no doubt that this seemingly ordinary coachman is an awakened person, and his level of awakening is definitely not low.

But even though he stopped Lin Yan, the carriage could not move forward, because while Lin Yan retreated, he destroyed the wheel before the thunder that had priority overlayed the carriage arrived at the wheel below.

After becoming the temporary apostle of Xicheng, the main abilities Lin Yan gained were very simple, which were ultimate speed and unparalleled power. At the same time, because the body he was using now was only composed of energy, as long as his soul did not have any problems, he would not die due to physical reasons.

And because the wheels were damaged, the carriage that was originally driving at high speed almost overturned in the next second.

Although the target person was in the carriage, Lin Yan was not worried about the other party's safety at all, because he knew that there was another person in the carriage.

That person will protect the target person because the target person is a precious finished product of the experiment - this is what Xicheng told him.

Sure enough, after the carriage overturned, a figure also emerged from the carriage. It was a very young woman, holding a little loli who looked like she was no ten years old.

And all this happened in just one or two seconds, and even the pedestrians on the road did not understand what was going on.

"It should be an awakened person whose ability is related to speed or space." The coachman whispered. His hands flashed with thunder, and the air was covered with blue electric sparks, completely wrapping the woman and the little loli, instantly forming a defense net.

But the next second, the coachman's expression changed, because the woman was suddenly pushed and staggered, almost hitting the lightning in the air. At the same time, the coachman sensed something rushing around and knocked out his defense net from the inside in an instant. It turned out that when the woman appeared in the arms of the little loli, the coachman built the defense net. The short-lived ordinary man who was not reacting extremely, the other party had already rushed in, and the speed was faster than before.

The charred man appeared in his sight for the first time, holding the precious experimental items they planned to transport this time. However, compared with the man's miserable situation, the experimental items were safe and sound, as if they were protected by some force.
