Chapter 635: The Inquiry Is Coming
The heroic spirits first need to return to the Temple of Life in Avalon to report their duties, which is the projection of the World Tree in this space. According to the "Several Provisions on the Daily Behavior of Public Officials" in the Divine Code, the guards of the gods who have returned from the expedition should He bathed and fasted for three days in the temple he served to wash away the filthy air he had contracted from the world, and at the same time listened to the gods' teachings to restore purity to the restless soul... Of course, everyone knows that the so-called gods are now He was sleeping soundly in his owner's pocket - yes, that thing was just a cheating scene. It was true that the heroic spirits went to report their duties, but if those guys didn't hold a barbecue party in front of the temple, I would have to thank Artoria for suppressing it. Well done.
The only ones who can really abide by the doctrines of the divine code are probably stupid knights like Artoria or a few other guys whose IQs are at the same level as hers.
In addition to these dogmas, the Cult of Life actually has quite a lot of rules, and they all sound so real, such as the sacrificial rituals under various circumstances, the clothing that the goddess priest class and the Holy See knight class should wear, and every The food that believers should eat on fixed days of the month, the placement of goddess statues at home, etc., etc. If you just listen to the catalog, you will feel that this religion is really impressive, but if you really see the man holding the stick, The goddess statue of Tang Shale will probably cry.
It is said that when Lilina wrote the Bible of the Goddess of Life, she copied and pasted it directly from it. You can know how much of these things are really worth abiding by.
While Fina was indulging in the beauty of Fairy Lake, Lilina and I were not idle either. The heroic spirits had to walk through the grounds to go to the temple to report their duties, and we acted as guides to familiarize Fina with her sanatorium. Now that we have come to Ava Long, you have to experience the unique life in this wonderland. In wonderland, the first thing is to ride a unicorn. For various reasons, Lilina is very familiar with the unicorns who run business in the fairy forest. A whistle summoned a large group of snow-white horse-like creatures, and now we are busy bargaining with these beasts.
I know what the common legends are like. These effervescent sacred creatures are beautiful and elegant, only allowed to be ridden by ***, and are loyal and kind-but in Avalon, if you dare to say this, just wait. Treat it as a rare animal. Who among the heroic spirits and ravens in this place doesn't know the darkness and monopoly of the unicorn rental industry? Profits and greed?
These guys who are greedy for money have now paid two yuan per kilometer.
However, as Lilina is half a local snake in the Holy Land and one of the witnesses to the birth of the unicorn race, her power is naturally different. The group of unicorns she found for us are all one piece and four...
No matter how gods they are, mythical beasts are still beasts. They don’t have to pay water, electricity, rent, insurance, and money, and they rely on the sky for their livelihood. Of course, they don’t need to spend money. They use cookies to trade with the unicorns. Of course, other snacks are also acceptable. The taste and shape don’t matter. As long as the unicorns like to eat, they can use it as hard currency. The latter are still kinder than mortals in this regard, and they also more or less reflect the beautiful characteristics of holy creatures that are short-sighted. However, when Lilina took out a bunch of Wangzi small I couldn't stand it when I was eating steamed buns - you said that the trip from here to Artemis's Emerald Outpost only cost about ten yuan at most. How can you use ten steamed buns to fool a bunch of animals?
...Ten minutes later, I realized Lilina’s good intentions. Because the main road in the fairy forest was blocked, the unicorn team decided to take a long way around. I’m afraid it would cost more to travel, and the maintenance fee would have to be paid by the passengers in advance, but I No matter how I looked at it, I felt that the pile of tree trunks blocking the road were actually piled there by the unicorns themselves. Apart from anything else, they had forgotten to deal with the hoof marks on the ground...
If I don’t prepare a handful of popcorn for these bastards next time I ride the Unicorn, I’ll be sorry for my consumer-indignation conscience!
"My friend, it's so beautiful here."
There was a brisk sound of hooves behind me, and Fina drove the unicorn to a position on par with me. A single word temporarily relieved me from the depression of being cheated in a taxi.
"Ah, as long as you like it. Avalon is a world designed by Ding Dong himself. Although it is often unreliable, I am still quite surprised by the work designed by this little guy."
As soon as he finished speaking, his chest pocket immediately started to tumble, and then a little head popped out: "That's right, Dingdang is amazing! Although he failed the Creation Certificate exam, Dingdang has been studying hard, Dingdang is now It ranks among the top 100 in the primary school group!"
.........The question is, you should have entered the middle school group twenty or thirty thousand years ago, right?
"Don't worry about the details! Anyone who cares about the details is a fool!"
I was criticized by my own pet.
"Friends, I really can't understand you Xiling Apostles now. You are like war machines fighting endlessly in front of outsiders. Your warships only remind people of the smell of coldness and blood. But the deeper the contact, The more I feel... you seem to be a very kind race, but you just don't like to be in contact with others and you don't dare to relax because the burden on your shoulders is too heavy. This is really strange. What kind of race are you? ?”
"Don't say 'you'," Sandora's voice sounded on the other side, "Now you should say 'we', you are also one of us."
"Strictly speaking, your first impression of the Xiling Apostles is not wrong. We have been a war race since a long time ago. Although we are fighting to eliminate the abyss, it is undeniable that the Xiling Apostles are in most cases He is used to using violence and a reign of terror to solve troubles. As for the current transformation, it is actually Arjun's credit. I believe that as time goes by, you will soon realize it yourself."
Sandora said this, I felt embarrassed, and Lilina, who was riding with me in my arms, began to twist around restlessly, trying to reach out and pinch my nose - it will be better for this girl when we arrive at the station. , Pandora and Viska over there almost roasted Lilina with their gazes.
Although the character of the mount makes people a little speechless, it is indeed a very pleasant thing to ride a unicorn and walk in the forest in such a wonderland, especially the life energy in the air here, which makes people quickly restore their energy. , After fighting outside for so long, it is certainly a kind of rest to go home and cover your head to sleep, but riding a unicorn and walking by the fairy lake is a more advanced way to rest.
Of course, it’s not just a walk. According to Sandora, now we should be regarded as a routine inspection after returning from the expedition, which belongs to the responsibility of the leader - although I am very curious about the group of people around me besides Sandora herself. Who can have this kind of awareness?
It has been more than half a year since Avalon was built. Since I have no previous experience in planning the "Kingdom of God", I have handed over all the work related to the daily management of Avalon to Artemis and Lilina. Facts have proved that these two temple combinations, one shrewd and one eccentric, completed the task quite well. The Emerald Outpost established at the border of the Fairy Forest is a silhouette of the gradual growth of this ideal country. It is different from the technology side of the Xiling Empire. With strong lines, most of Avalon's buildings have a "mysterious" and "elegant" feeling. This is an initial blend of the blood elf architecture of Silvermoon City and the elf architecture of Vidis Forest, and then integrated into the grandeur of the Temple of the World Tree. It is difficult to describe these works of art-like buildings in words, because they have no fixed structure and image at all. These are things that truly follow the teachings of the goddess of life and have the ability to "become one with nature." ", "It is convenient to build a city of thousands of people in the forest without being obtrusive" style...
I will never admit that I said this to cover up the fact that a few of us got lost five hundred meters next to the Emerald Outpost...
"You are so stingy! You are about to exceed the mileage limit, so you have to come down early."
Finally, I found the emerald outpost hidden in the green woodland, which looked like the ruins of a mysterious ancient god's residence. After having walked around for most of the way, I immediately hit Lilina on the head and said, "You are like this to several Wangzi steamed buns." Cut!"
"Hmph, we can't give those beasts a break anyway!" Lilina tilted her head, "Three months ago, they were planning to jointly raise the price on the grounds that the average weight of Avalon Heroic Spirits had increased!"
Let me give you a tip, we will all bring popcorn when riding unicorns in Avalon...
"Ah, Archbishop! And everyone, are you back?"
A brisk voice interrupted my daily quarrel with Lilina. It turned out to be Suzune, who was wearing a light hunting suit and was leading a few heroic sentinels from the forest. They seemed to have just completed their daily patrol deep in the fairy forest. , it’s not that there is a problem with public security, it’s mainly that there are many wild furball monsters in the forest who always like to fuck in the upper reaches of the river and then let other spiritual beasts and the like beat them up with bruises and bruises. Lingyin will go there every now and then to give them a beating. Put some medicine on those troublesome little things.
"Where's Artemis? Didn't you come today?"
"Ah, Captain...Senior Artemis didn't come here today. A kind of goblin that has just completed its evolution recently appeared next to the newly established Qingyin Town. Scholars living in the town reported that the goblin is always noisy at night. No, senior wants to go over and confirm whether those little lives are dangerous, and teach them simple knowledge at the same time."
After listening to Ling Yin's report, I immediately had a strong sense of seeing RPGs. Is life in Avalon usually so full of fairy tale style?
"It seems that those 'no harm' lives released by Ding Dong have kept you busy," I touched a little head protruding from my chest pocket with my finger. The latter didn't realize that he was the culprit of the topic just now. The culprit was still spinning his little head curiously, "By the way, this is Fina, our new member, a very special Xiling apostle. Sandora has uploaded the specific information to the public database. You can understand it at a glance. ."
After temporarily keeping Fina in the hands of the sentinels of Avalon, a group of high-level empire officials returned from their inspection tour and visited the Shadow Base and the main places in the Kingdom of Avalon. By the way, they talked with the person in charge on duty. I don’t know what the symbolic meaning of this is after meeting each other, but seeing that everything at home is running in an orderly manner, and everyone is performing their duties and living and working peacefully, my heart finally returns to a relaxed state. Perhaps this is the true meaning of the so-called return inspection.
A few days ago, it was probably very busy here.
"Hey, Ding Dong is going to the temple!"
When we returned to the surface world, Dingdang came out of his pocket. His face was covered with chocolate, which made Anweina, who was responsible for washing my clothes next to me, sigh.
"Ding Dong will ask Pantheon to send a special agent over as soon as possible!"
"Yes, you have to hurry up on this matter." I nodded, cleverly ignoring the embarrassment that I almost forgot about this serious matter, and then turned to Sivis, who was on standby, "I will trouble you for other things, and O The establishment of La and the service and preparation of the leader bees, they have been waiting for too long in the archives without supplies, and a comprehensive inspection needs to be carried out as soon as possible. The function of the shipboard maintenance cabin of the Imperial Admiral is limited after all."
"Yes, Your Majesty, thank you for your concern for the soldiers."
After giving these last instructions, everyone left the Shadow City.
Everything is still familiar, the ordinary big house, the neat living room, the familiar furniture and appliances, and even the cupboard with Sandora's teeth marks in the kitchen give people a sense of intimacy, although it is completely incomparable to the function of the battleship. The comparison between the high-tech cabins above is ridiculous, but only here does it feel like home.
Although I wasn’t very tired, after all, there was a time difference between the two worlds, and dinner was still early, so I decided to take a nap first and let Qian Qian and the others, who had unlimited energy, do whatever they wanted.
As a result, after sleeping, when I woke up, the sky was filled with sunset.
"Two hours? That's really an exaggeration."
Originally I just wanted to lie down for a while and then get up, but unexpectedly, I slept directly from afternoon to night, nearly two hours.
The door to the room was pushed open from the outside just after I woke up, but when I was lying on the bed, I couldn't see anyone coming in at the door. I could only hear the sound of gentle footsteps. Who needs to say this?
"Mercury Lamp, you know how to walk in from the ground."
Sure enough, the spirited voice of a certain doll rang out immediately: "Because every time you bump into the door frame, you idiot always laughs for a long time... Hey! Why didn't you guess that Pandora came in?"
"Don't be ridiculous, even if Pandora comes in, you can still see a small piece of hair from this angle."
This topic is really very delicate. Anyway, the 92.3cm Chairman didn't say anything on the spot. Two seconds later, a black gothic loli suddenly jumped up in the air and hit her with the speed of lightning to steal the jingle bell. on my stomach: "Hey! Stupid human being, help me comb my hair!"
Only then did I see that Mercury Lamp was rarely wearing her rose hairband, but her dazzling silver hair was spread loosely. There was a faint smell of shampoo coming from her body: "Just finished taking a shower?"
"Yeah!" The little doll put the comb into my hand and nodded happily, "I washed it before that idiot priest!"
It's your little war again. I don't understand. A doll and a priestess. How can there be any irreconcilable class conflict between these two people?
"By the way, Xiaodeng, I actually have a question I've been wanting to ask you." I suddenly remembered a question that had been bothering me for a long time. I happened to see the mercury lamp and had just taken a bath today, so I simply asked it, "If you take a bath, Won’t water get into the ball joint?”
A second ago, she had obediently lowered her head to let me comb her hair. The lovely mercury lamp, who was as cute as a little girl, immediately stiffened when she heard this. Then she skillfully grabbed the big hand behind her head and put it to her mouth, and let out a sip.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Teeth! Save your teeth, you idiot!"
All in all, this is our daily routine.
Including Miss Lin who comes to have a meal, this is also the case.
A second before dinner started, the doorbell rang with perfect accuracy. I didn’t know whether I should complain about Miss Lin’s unscrupulous skill in eating. She came here just in time to eat! If you come a minute early, she might be able to help prepare the dishes.
And I was extremely sad to find that Anweina actually prepared extra bowls and chopsticks for one person on the longer, wider and wider dining table at home - it has become a routine here for Miss Lin to come on time to eat!
"Hey! Mu Mu, are you back alive? Let me help you!"
Yelling such unscrupulous remarks, the half-senior classmate who used his prophecy ability to predict the meal time strode into the dining room as if he were at home, and then his eyes slowly swept over the whole family of us.
The Pandora sisters had a pile of books on their chairs, and the greatest bishop, who was sitting majestically on a high stool and stood out from the crowd, was busy poking holes in the rice in front of him with chopsticks and stuffing beans one by one. Finally, he fell on On the head of a certain empire.
Immediately I realized that Lin Xue was probably not just here for lunch today.
"Hey, Mu Mu, it's exciting when you go berserk on the Death Star fortress, isn't it?"
I immediately fainted: Sure enough, Lin Xue was here to ask for guilt.
The reason for the loss of control of the Death Star Fortress has been gradually clarified through the sleepless investigations of a large number of Xiling technicians. The direct reason is naturally what we already know. When the psionic energy is converted to 95%, the Death Star control core is insufficient. , leading to impure energy and premature collapse, but the root cause of this accident lies in the technology analyzed in the Red Moon Cube.
That technology had fatal flaws, but Tavel didn't discover them until it led to disaster.
What needs to be noted is that as early as when the Red Moon Cube was picked up, Lin Banxian, the classmate in front of me, had seriously warned me not to study the deep data of the cube, especially the black technology it recorded - obviously, we Everyone ignored Lin Xue's warning.
This girl is now coming to investigate.
"Then what, how about we eat first?"
Looking at Lin Xue's face that was obviously too worried and angry, I knew I was in the wrong, so I could only try my best to divert her attention. At least you have to let me eat this meal safely, right?
Lin Xue nodded immediately: "Nonsense, I'm just here to have a meal today. I'll settle the score with you after I finish the meal!"
For a person who is just trying to make ends meet, it can be considered a shocking feat to reach this level.
(Well, it’s a new month, so welcome to ***, how about giving it a good start?)
