"Where's Reyaz?"
Boss Luo took out some food from the kitchen.
It was now night time in the underwater city. It was exactly seven o 'clock in the evening. There was no beautiful scenery like dusk. The sky above the city lights was dark blue.
"He fell asleep." Miss Maid quickly walked over to help. "After finishing the final debugging, he fell asleep directly on the Serpent. He was probably too tired."
"Then let's eat." Boss Luo smiled and took off his apron.
Life was still very ritualistic. For example, Boss Luo's life.
After dimming the lights, he took out a silver candlestick. After lighting the candle, Boss Luo pulled out the chair in front of the table for Miss Maid and invited her to sit.
Dinner was a very suitable time for chatting. It could be about the day's experience, some thoughts, or the vision for the future. But the shop owner and Miss Maid did not have more vision for the future.
"Flammable ice?" Boss Luo was listening to Miss Maid's views on magic energy technology.
"It's a technology that converts heat energy into kinetic energy." Miss Maid nodded and said, "The Lemurians have achieved the technology of mining and storing this energy a long time ago. According to the information provided by Reyaz, the ordinary civilian magic energy core is only a simple conversion of heat energy. But it's enough to supply energy as a living tool. Then there are the cores of some large tools. For example, the Serpent is a more efficient combustion technology. I heard that there is a magic energy supply system under the entire underwater city that uses large magic energy cores. "
Boss Luo looked at the civilian magic energy core that Miss Maid gave him. This core's energy was used up. It would break with a light pinch.
After the broken magic energy core, there was some blue-white powder left. Then, under the effect of the air, it would quickly vaporize and disappear. It felt that this gaseous state would not cause pollution to the environment.
It was a completely clean energy source.
"Although the conditions for the formation of this energy ore are quite difficult, there are many in the deep sea." Miss Maid paused and said, "The population of the underwater city is about nine million. Although the underwater city is huge … it is enough for the mineral reserves in the deep sea."
"The social form of this underwater city is quite interesting." Luoqiu immediately talked about what he saw during the day when he was shopping.
Mademoiselle Maid described it thus: a recyclable ecosystem in a sealed environment.
"This kind of man-made … or even forced state requires a very sophisticated management organization." Miss Maid shook her head and said, "And there can't be any mistakes."
"But the mistake has already been made." Boss Luo smiled and waved his hand.
A paper crane flew into his palm. It was the paper crane that Miss Maid sent out to inquire about information yesterday, and now it had flown back.
Two rays of light shot out from the heads of the paper cranes and turned into a screen in the air. They simply recorded some things, which was very different from Boss Luo's all-purpose infinitesimal TV. But Miss Maid did not have the ability to create a mini TV.
(Boss Luo has been banned recently … It is recommended to temporarily stop spending extravagantly.)
The intelligence source of the paper cranes began to release some fragments … about what happened last night.
If Reyaz was here, he would definitely exclaim because the fragments projected by the paper cranes were what he encountered in the 'happy territory' last night.
"It seems that human desires are bred under the constraints of rules and laws …" Miss Maid only took a few glances and already had an evaluation. "The suppression of human nature will eventually lead to a rebound."
"It's not a rebound." Boss Luo shook his head and said, "I have read some of the history of the underwater city … I think the former Lemurians should have already tasted the bitter fruit brought by this suppression of human nature. It's better to let it out than to block it … The current underwater city will slightly give the residents some channels to vent. After venting, people can quickly return to their normal state … The underwater city is different from the human countries on the land, but this behavior is advocated by the Underwater City Kingdom government. "
Boss Luo said and called a new paper crane.
This paper crane was a record of the [Flying Serpent] competition in the underwater city.
It was hard to imagine that such a bloody competition event would appear in a place like the underwater city that always revealed rules and self-discipline, and advocated friendship, kindness, and courtesy.
The chaotic competition was stuffed on the stage, blood and limbs were wasted, but the audience was so enthusiastic.
"What's this?" Miss Maid's eyes were fixed on the bloody competition venue, on a round ball about three meters in diameter.
Boss Luo said, "I don't know yet, but it seems that this ball will appear in every competition … Maybe, we will know tomorrow."
"Then, I'll have to make some preparations too." Miss Maid smiled slightly, "Although I don't want to help Reyaz win the championship, after all, it is the first [Flying Serpent] that I personally built. If I see other [Flying Serpents] running in front of it, I will feel very uncomfortable."
It was probably her perfectionism at work.
Because this was not a business … Perhaps for Miss Maid, it was just a game, just like the chess game she played with the boss in the afternoon.
…
…
Somewhere in the Imperial Palace of the underwater city.
This place was like a command room. Dozens of men and women wearing helmets and special uniforms were sitting on their own seats … Their hands were inserted into a basketball-sized ball.
At this moment, a girl in a silver robe was sitting on the seat of honor.
"Haven't you found him yet?" Girl Liuge asked indifferently.
"Yes, Master Liuge." A man in the seat directly below took off his helmet, looking up and saying helplessly, "We searched all the records of the commercial street in the East 13 District today, but we didn't find the person mentioned by His Majesty … Maybe His Majesty remembered wrongly?"
The girl didn't speak.
She just threw out a cup — the cup fell vertically on the man's forehead, and the bright red juice immediately slid down the man's cheek.
"Sorry, Master Liuge, I … I'll check again carefully!!" The man sat down again in a panic, putting on his helmet again.
At this moment, a woman in a row on the other side suddenly looked up and said quickly, "Master Liuge, I found something here … Surveillance target number three is currently out of the safe zone."
As she spoke, the woman turned her helmet, and the eyepatch immediately shot a huge projection at the black wall in front.
"Heh, these monkeys on the ground are really restless." Girl Liuge smiled faintly, and then waved her hand. "Keep watching. As long as it's not too out of line, just pretend that you didn't find anything."
The woman in charge of surveillance said, "But … But the direction that target number three is moving in seems to be the first place where the magical energy researchers are … This?"
"They are still His Majesty's guests." Girl Liuge said indifferently, "Since they are guests, they can visit if they want … But it's only limited to visiting, understand?"
"Understood." The woman quickly sat down again.
At this moment, another man stood up and said quickly, "Master Liuge, we found traces of Levis."
Girl Liuge directly ordered, "Tell the military police to send troops to capture him … Alright, continue to search for the person that His Majesty is looking for. Leave this to the adjutant to command."
As she spoke, Girl Liuge directly pushed open the door of this huge dark room, and after passing through many doors and passageways, she walked out of a square in the palace.
From here, she could see the study of the Underwater City's Emperor, Louis XXXIX — the light in the study was still on.
In the afternoon, the people from the military came. Judging from the situation, they had not left yet. They were in the study with His Majesty the Emperor, discussing the matter of sending troops to attack the Sea Demon Tribe.
Recently, the Sea Demon Tribe had become more active. His Majesty the Emperor had decided to properly remind these creatures that had completely become slaves of the sea, who was the master of the deep sea.
Girl Liuge slowly walked towards the direction of the palace's study.
At this moment, she suddenly looked up as if she had sensed something, and looked at a certain position in the lower section of the White Tower — on the platform there, Miss Qin, dressed in white, was overlooking the night view of the Underwater City.
"A bird in a cage." Girl Liuge laughed softly. "You can't fly out of this Underwater City."
…
Above the White Tower, Miss Qin, who was on the platform, seemed to have sensed a certain gaze from below … She didn't care and focused on searching for the faint consciousness that Green Lotus Sword Song transmitted to her.
Although her cultivation had been suppressed, the technique of the Anatta Sect was quite amazing. Even though her power was gone, there was still a little bit of her intuition left. With this little bit of intuition, she could roughly sense Green Lotus Sword Song's current location — it was near the venue of the [All-Star Flying Pyramid Competition] that was going to be held tomorrow.
If I get closer to Green Lotus Sword Song, it seems like I can trigger its power … As long as I can trigger a strand of Green Lotus Sword Song's sword energy, it would be enough for her to break the shackles on her feet and release the restriction that suppressed her cultivation.
"Tomorrow …"
…
Underwater City, outside the palace, in the First Academy of the Magic Research Institute under the Royal Government.
At this moment, a few figures were moving slowly against the shadows on the wall. Among these few figures, one of them was Captain Justin, who was heading to the Underwater City to look for support from the Underwater City's Emperor.
Captain Justin brought his subordinates and wandered around the periphery of Astral-1. After that, he immediately brought his subordinates back to the hotel that Louis XXXIX used to receive them.
Just as he returned to the hotel room, Captain Justin quickly asked, "How was it?"
One of the subordinates smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have completely mapped out the passageway of Astral-1."
At this moment, the subordinate quickly took out a pen and paper and began to draw something on the paper. Not long after, the internal structure of Astral-1 was roughly mapped out.
"They would never have thought that we have people with detection abilities." Another subordinate laughed and said, "Now, Astral-1 is no longer a secret to us. This time, the captain's request for help was just a smokescreen. His real intention was to get the magic technology of the underwater city! "
"Haha." The eyes of the subordinate who was drawing the map lit up at this moment. "Tomorrow, the underwater city will hold a grand competition. At that time, everyone will be attracted to it. It will be a good opportunity for us to make our move! After we snatch the technology and equipment of Astral-1, we will immediately set sail on the Sapphire. As long as we return to the sea, these soldiers of the underwater city will not be a problem! "
"That's right! The technology of the underwater city is indeed terrifying, and the magic energy warriors are even more powerful … But who would have thought that these people of the underwater city have a fatal weakness? This is destined to make them unable to become the overlord of the land … This kind of magic energy technology should be provided to us, the Black Order! "
Captain Justin did not say anything and just let his subordinates plan for tomorrow's action.
"Tomorrow …"
…
…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sky of the underwater city was completely bright.
The venue of the All-Star Flying Pyramid Competition was located in the central district of the underwater city. This place was less than seven kilometers away from the palace.
Colorful air bombs were shot into the sky one by one and then exploded, followed by ribbons and colorful pieces of paper. People enthusiastically poured into the competition venue.
Although the venue was huge, it could not accommodate the nine million people of the underwater city. Most of the people could only stand outside and watch the live broadcast of the magic energy dazzle.
At this time, the streets of the central district had become so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
Today, in addition to the opening ceremony of the grand competition, seemed to be a special day … A day that allowed the residents of the underwater city to release some of the hidden things in their bodies to their hearts' content.
"Look, nineteen! Look carefully, understand, and watch carefully. " At the window of a three-story house facing the street, Levis, who was wearing a black cloak, pointed at the crowded crowd outside the window and said, "Look, these guys look ugly at this time. What's the difference between them and the guests of my 'Happy Domain'?"
Nineteen in the room rolled his eyes and lowered his head to focus on maintaining the artificial eye that he took out from his eye socket.
At this time, the door of the room suddenly opened, and a man and a woman wearing a black cloak walked in … After the man took off his hat, he said directly, "Levis, I heard that you were in trouble last night?"
Levis immediately complained, "I was chased by the people of the Third Department of the Military Police for a whole night … Do you know that my skin has become much worse? Long Gang? "
The man named Long Gang just pretended that he did not hear it and looked directly at Nineteen.
Nineteen just said casually, "It doesn't affect."
Long Gang nodded, "That's good … After we rescue them, we will immediately evacuate and then go to the Fallen Trench. Alright, let's go and prepare. "
As he said that, Long Gang looked at his companion who had come with him, "Kai Ya, don't worry … We will definitely help you rescue your husband."
The woman did not say anything and only nodded … Then, the woman named Kai Ya suddenly looked at Levis and said softly, "I owe you a favor, Levis."
"This is a huge favor." Levis smiled casually, "My business is completely ruined."
"I owe you a life."
"That's more like it." Levis smiled and then waved his hand to open the window, "I actually quite like this grand party … Nineteen, it's time to make a big scene."
…
…
Reyaz felt that the beginning of the day was very smooth.
He woke up early and had a vigorous breakfast. Then, he did not run into any traffic on the way and directly arrived outside the competition venue to undergo the final inspection before entering the venue. There was still a lot of time.
"Ha, Reyaz, is this the 'Flying Serpent' that you're participating in today's competition? It doesn't look like much! One look and you can tell that it's a cheap item, the kind that can't go far? "
At this moment, a young man who was about the same age as Reyaz was slowly walking over — behind this young man, a group of supporters were pushing a huge 'Flying Serpent'.
Before the start of the competition, the contestants were used to covering their 'Flying Serpent' with a white cloth to prevent others from seeing some of the data of the 'Flying Serpent'.
However, this young man was different. Not only was his' Flying Serpent 'huge, it was even ferocious like a giant beast — and it was completely golden in color.
Everyone looked at him.
"Who is this?" Miss Maid asked calmly.
Reyaz smiled bitterly, "He's called Khor Dorkin … He's my classmate. His family is in the business of recharging magic energy cores, so his contribution points … Hmm, he has quite a lot. He's not like this normally, but I don't know what he did today, he suddenly became so high-profile. "
"Heh."
Miss Maid laughed.
#####
PS1: Don't complain about Khor Dorkin's name … A certain book friend who doesn't want to reveal his name strongly requested it, you know. =
PS2: Caught a bad cold for a few days, I'll be back tomorrow … That's all.
