Chapter 1,400 Dark Moon

(There is no doubt that this is the time to ask for monthly tickets, so I cleverly wrote a line! Oh, by the way, there is also...)

This is the first night that everyone has spent in this far-flung world. They are far away from home, in a strange environment, and the fact that "outside the world is the line of fire" brings pressure to everyone, and... I still don't feel sorry for this nonsense, because Qian Qian slept like a little pig next to her, and so did Lin Xue. I guess the Pandora sisters and the female gangster in the next room were also in the same state. The rest of us have long been accustomed to sleeping in various environments. Theoretically, it has reached the point where you can sleep with your eyes closed and wake up with your eyes open, no matter where you are in a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​fire. This is a state that has been tempered for a long time - of course, it can also be interpreted as being short-sighted, but it all means the same thing. (Literature Museum) Anyway, people who have traveled through time and space a lot should get used to it.

The silly guy's house is indeed quite big. This may be related to his contribution to the village, but it may also be related to his size. Anyway, it is a very big house. Of course he cannot live in such a big place alone: The black cat can't live there either, so most of the place is vacant. The place where we will rest tonight is the second floor of the main house: this was originally supposed to be the owner's bedroom, but the stupid guy stubbornly reserved the best rooms here for "noble guests from the imperial capital", and he But he went to the side room across the yard to spend the night. This makes me very sad, because I can see that the stupid guy is not rich (or in other words, everyone in this small village does not have any extra material wealth). There is no furniture in the side room, only a bed board with hay on it. But the stupid guy happily blocked us all in the main room, and then ran into the empty side room holding his own bedding. His logic is very simple: people from the imperial capital are distinguished guests, and scholars and their families are even more distinguished guests. The "distinguished guest" cannot sleep on a straw bed in the countryside, and he is rough-skinned and thick-bodied...

This was the big man's logic, simple but stubborn. Even a female gangster like Bingtis couldn't make the other party give in without using violence. In the end, we had to live in this house with the only room in the house very awkwardly. of furnished rooms. The silly guy himself is quite happy. Before going to bed, he even thanked us for the snacks and scones we brought. He felt like he had gained a huge advantage: because apart from the priest, he was the only one in the village who had eaten them. "Snacks for city dwellers".

I woke up halfway through my sleep. It wasn't that I couldn't sleep well in a strange environment. Instead, he was woken up by Qian Qian's kick: he woke up suddenly while flying in mid-air, and glided for 0.3 seconds in the posture of a wild goose falling on the sand. It wasn't until I saw Qian Qian's feet hanging out of the bed that I realized why I flew out from the edge of the bed. The next moment I was very satisfied with my emergency response ability: because I could still take something out of my carry-on space just before landing. He took out a sponge cushion and put it under his body, so that Qian Qian and Lin Xue were not woken up: Do you think we can not be model husbands?

But after being tortured like this, I lost all sleep. I could only get up and straighten my pajamas, shaking my head and smiling bitterly as I looked at the two girls criss-crossing each other occupying nearly three-quarters of the big bed. This is of course a stupidly big room. Although it is the most "luxurious" place in the house, it only has a few pieces of old rough wood furniture. And in order to match the size of the room owner, every piece of furniture here is extremely huge. Qianqian lives in the same room as Lin Xue and me. They put together the mattresses they brought together to fill the huge wooden bed in the house...

After all, she is a girl, so she is used to using her own things outside.

"No matter how huge the bed is, it can't support Qian Qian's sleeping state. Lin Xue is not doing much better today..." I muttered to myself, turned around and walked out of the room. I can’t sleep anyway, so let’s go out and breathe some fresh air, and take a look at what the world looks like at night.

The double-storey wooden houses in this village all have a similar layout. The first floor is much larger than the second floor. The first floor is the main room, kitchen, small warehouse and other places, while the second floor is used for living. Because the second floor has "shrunk" so much, it will leave an open corridor outside. The outer edge of the corridor is blocked by wooden railings to prevent people from falling in. This is used if there are multiple rooms on the second floor. Connected by a circle of corridors. I walked out of the room and came to the open-air corridor. I looked back at the door next to me: that was the room of sisters Bingtis and Pandora. It was also the other one of the only two furnished rooms in the house. It might have been Someone thought, yes, it is the black cat's house...

We won’t discuss why a black cat has a room as big as its owner, nor why a black cat’s room has a set of furniture. Anyway, cats can talk, so what else is impossible? I even heard that the little female cat folds the quilt by herself every day, and she (after thinking about it, let’s call her a female cat who can talk, have a high IQ and cook vegetables) is also used to finishing the quilt in the morning After the quilt, I went to help the owner tidy up the room: You said a cat is like this, why is it so strange that she has her own room? I even had the intention to bring the second-rate fox at home to compare with this psychic cat. Although Xiao Hei didn’t look like a human, and she didn’t have a bunch of tails and thousands of years of Taoism, I always felt that she was better than the fox. All reliable: Ding Dong, the fox at home is now so lazy that she doesn’t even want to use the quilt. She just uses her tail to roll herself into a ball every day when she goes to sleep. She has been practicing for thousands of years just to not fold the quilt. What do you think? Is treatment necessary for this? !

When I was thinking this, the door next to me suddenly opened, and a tall figure stretched out. After seeing me, he greeted me somewhat unexpectedly: "Hey, Chen, have you noticed it too?"

I looked at the person in front of me: long hair, huge figure, wearing pajamas, always with a cynical smile on his face: who else could it be if he wasn't Bingtis? Why does this female gangster stay up until midnight?

"What did you notice?" I asked casually without responding.

Bingtis was looking up at the sky. Hearing this, he looked here in surprise: "You don't know? Then why did you get up in the middle of the night?"

"I asked Qian Qian to kick her down - that girl was not sleeping well. What did you say you noticed just now?"

Bingtis was stunned for a moment, smiled silently and shook his head, then raised his hand and pointed to the sky: "Look at the moon."

I looked in the direction of her finger and saw a slightly incomplete moon hanging in the sky. I didn't expect that this planet also has a moon, but the moon is different from the one on the earth: it looks bigger. And its surface is not golden yellow, but has a vague black and blue color. I looked carefully and suddenly felt that the black and blue patches were unusual: their distribution looked more and more like land and ocean. And if you look closely at the black area, you will see that there are more details hidden in it, but those details are invisible to the naked eye.

"Then the moon..." I couldn't help but mutter, "Why does it look like an earth-like planet?"

"That's an Earth-like planet, and its size should be about the same as the planet under our feet," Bingtis stood next to me with his arms crossed. It seems that she already knows the general situation of the planet, "I saw it when I got up just now, and then used my mental power to 'observe' it a little, but I didn't dare to use too much power, so I just scanned it roughly. Now I can only be sure that it is an earth-like planet with signs of life on it. Then I went back to the house to prepare, but when I came out, I saw you outside. I thought you also came out after noticing it - no The only thing I thought about you was that you were kicked awake by your wife."

"Earth-like planet? About the same size?" I looked at the "moon" in the sky that was much larger than the earth in amazement. It was a little incomplete and looked like it was about to be full. The large black and blue patches on its surface now looked like It looks exactly like land and sea. "It is the same as the planet below us..."

"Double star system," Bingtis nodded, "The planet below you and me has no satellites, but it has a companion star that is almost the same as it. The two planets form a binary star system, orbiting the same sun at the same time. You thought of it What?"

I used my imagination to integrate the information I heard during the day, and took another look at the blue and black "moon" in the sky. Finally blurted out: "Do you suspect that is An Yue?"

Bingtis nodded: "Silly guy, these locals only know one moon, and that is the companion star above them. To them, things like the binary star system don't make much sense, as long as they know that it is the moon. That's it. I originally thought that 'Dark Moon' refers to a certain place on this planet, but it happens to be named after the moon. Now that I see that thing in the sky... I feel that what the locals call Dark Moon is actually Their moon.”

"The surface of the planet does seem to be covered with a layer of black veil." I looked up at the sky. "The reflection from a normal planet's surface should be much brighter than it is. You see, except for the ocean part, the land part is basically black. It looks like the geology will be interesting.”

"Dark Moon..." Bingtis chuckled softly, "It seems that after we figure out the situation here, we have to go to that planet to have a look. If the Dark Moon that the idiot said is the moon above their heads, As for the moon...then what happened to the demons and monsters from Dark Moon that he mentioned? Do they have spaceships or portal technology? The war between Dark Moon and the people on the earth has suddenly turned into an interstellar battle. .”

When Bingtis reminded me, I also thought of these things, but it was strange how to associate these things: Look at this primitive small village in front of me. People here still use oil lamps for lighting. There are not even basic mechanical tools in the village, and I didn't see any clever magical creations. It's hard for me to connect a group of people living like this with things like the "Earth-to-Moon Shuttle" or "Space Portal." Of course, what we see now is only the small village in front of us. Perhaps those high-end things are concentrated in the hands of the upper class. Isn’t this the case for many feudal magic route civilizations?

At this time, I suddenly remembered that Bingtis said that she "went back to the house to prepare some things" after seeing the strange moon in the sky. She was just busy studying the moon. I didn't pay attention to what she said. Then I remembered He quickly asked her: "What did you prepare when you went back to the house just now?"

"Some gadgets," Bingtis said, summoning a few small golden light balls out of thin air, "How long will it take for us to find out the local history and culture just by asking around? So we need to be more efficient. Method."

I looked at those light balls. They seemed to be substantial, and they had vague facial features. They looked very familiar: "This is..."

"The lice on the fox," Bingtis threw a small ball of light towards me nonchalantly, "I asked her to keep a few of them for fun. Anyway, the little girl usually treats these lice. Marbles.”

I hurriedly took the small light ball thrown by Sister Bing. The light ball felt warm to the touch. Although the body was made of light, it had a real touch. Its "appearance" vaguely looked like a second-rate fox. . I guess he directly imitated his master. To be honest, as long as you don't think about what these light balls looked like before, they look really cute. The light ball, which was slightly smaller than a table tennis ball, bounced lightly in my hand, making a series of brisk sounds that sounded like birds chirping or wind chimes. Then it floated in the air and looked at me curiously.

"What are you going to let them do?" I bounced the small ball of light back to Bingtis and asked curiously.

"Gathering intelligence," the female gangster showed a sly smile, "I have opened my mind to them. Now, although these gadgets are not very intelligent, they are smarter than your probes, and they can already be spies. Let's. They first go to the imperial capital and other crowded places to lurk, and then look for places like libraries and archives, and then come back with a few history books and religious classics. They are no slower than us asking around."

As he said that, Bingtis waved his hand, and seven or eight small light balls instantly turned into several bright lines and disappeared into the night sky. I really admire the creativity of this female gangster: "I'm really lucky that you can think of this idea."

"Actually, I think it won't be a big deal if we let go a little bit," Bingtis waved his hands nonchalantly and muttered again. "It may be obvious to use something at the spaceship level, but how big is the energy response of probes and temporary satellites? The fallen apostles are still outside the world barrier, and they can't scan these."

I know Bingtis still can't bear this kind of restrained task, and what she said makes sense. Then he nodded: "Well, in fact, it is just for safety reasons that we try not to use those gadgets, but if there is really no other way, those devices should still be used."

"Then that's it." Bingtis yawned and staggered towards the room. "I'm going back to sleep. If you want to continue drying, then you can dry it outside."

I was alone again in the open-air corridor. I grinned and looked up at the "moon" hanging in the night sky.

According to the color distribution on its surface, this planet has a large area of ​​black land and a small area of ​​dark blue ocean with deep color: at least this is the side facing me. The moon that looks black and blue is called " "Dark Moon" is naturally understandable. I thought of what Bingtis said: There is life on that planet, and the enemies called demons and monsters by people on the earth come from there.

A civilization in a feudal era is engaged in an interstellar war with an enemy on its companion star? People don't know what to say in this situation. The Imperial Army and the Fallen Apostles outside the world are already full of turmoil, but the natives in this third-person universe are still ignorantly carrying out their own primitive interstellar war... This Who is this a satire on?

After thinking about it for a while, I felt that this question was boring. I was wearing pajamas in the middle of the night and thinking about world peace under the cold wind blowing under the moon of another world. Such a frivolous thing really didn't fit my personality - I hugged my arms and went back to the house.

The rest of the night was silent, and we ushered in our first morning in this world.

The neatly dressed people came out of the house and greeted each other. Pandora and Viska seemed to have a little conflict: the two sisters said good morning to me in an entangled combination. We saw a silly guy in the courtyard who must have gotten up earlier. He was walking around the courtyard swinging his arms to stretch his muscles. When he saw the guest coming down, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Did you sleep well last night? This is what a house in the country is like..."

"Very good, very good," I nodded quickly, "Actually, you don't have to think too highly of us. We are running around all day long, and we also spend the night in the wild mountains. We are all rough-skinned and thick-bodied."

The psychic cat was lying on the shoulder of the stupid guy. Xiao Hei grinned at us and waved his paw at Bingtis: "You occupied my room last night! You didn't take my bed. Are you messing it up? You woman look careless..."

Bingtis looked at the cat with a smile, and took out a dried fish from nowhere and dangled it in front of the cat's eyes: "If you don't cooperate, I will pile the dried fish into a crater and tie you up." Put it in the middle.”

The black cat had a bad temper. He meowed disdainfully and jumped up to the wall next to him to bask in the sun. The female gangster was left there in surprise: "Hey, why does this trick work on the fox but not on the cat?" It’s useless?”

I laughed and said, "Are huskies and cats the same?"

Breakfast is still served at the silly big man's house. This honest big man is very happy to share his things with others. Still the same as yesterday, we took out the exquisite food we brought from home and invited the big man to eat together. The black cat who was very resentful because the room was occupied was finally calmed down a little by the snack offensive this time. During the exchange, I discovered a magical truth: Bingtis failed to seduce the cat with dried fish not because the latter was determined enough, but because the cat was allergic to fish...

Because I don’t know if all the cats in this world are so magical, I didn’t ask too many questions. Anyway, Bingtis was in all sorts of messes from beginning to end: it’s not easy to see this female gangster being defeated.

At this time, the village gradually became lively, and the rough country guys' greetings on the streets at the door sounded like they were quarreling. It sounded noisy, but it gave off a sense of earthy intimacy. Soon I heard a strange noise coming from a certain direction. The silly guy was cleaning up the yard. When he heard the noise, he stood up happily and said, "The village chief is back! I will take you to see the villagers." long!"
