After dinner, I chatted with Sandora about my activities in the City of Shadows. Sandora seemed to have heard that Tawil was preparing to design a new type of warship, but she didn't know much about it. Hearing that the miniaturized disassembly generator was ready for use and would become the main weapon of the new warship, Sandora was delighted. To celebrate, she went to the kitchen and brought back three steamers of buns. She handed one to me. "So, Tawil increased her mass projection by 20% because she was busy with this? She is a talent. She should be a famous top-notch technician in the old Empire."
When Shadora mentioned Tarver's horde of mass projections, I couldn't help but have a stomach full of complaints. All kinds of Shiring Apostles had their own special abilities. Tawil's branch was an apostle who specialized in scientific research. Her branch talent was multi-threaded processing. However, not every multi-threaded scientific Shiring Apostles had thousands of mass projections like her. That research maniac had actually modified herself. She had combined her own thread allocation system with mass projection technology, which was how she had created the spectacular sight of a group of Tarvers. Every time I saw a group of mass projections bustling about in the laboratory, I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if Tarvers were to suffer from schizophrenia …
I didn't expect Tawil to be quite open-minded about this problem. She was elated. "Schizophrenic? That's great! Your Majesty, you will have two chief technicians … "
Then, she looked for Liliana excitedly to ask for advice on how to make herself schizophrenic. Liliana treated her seriously because she felt that Tawil was indeed crazy and needed treatment …
She couldn't understand the thought process of a research maniac at all.
"You have to understand that there are only two things that are important to her in this world. The first is to be loyal to the Empire and the second is to develop new things for the Empire. The second can be attributed to the first." Sandora quickly stuffed a bun into her mouth. She looked especially happy. "She doesn't care about anything else. I know many Shiring Apostles like her. Outsiders might think that this kind of life is boring, but she absolutely enjoys it. "
I couldn't help but agree with her. I still vividly remembered the brilliant look on Tawil's face when he got the new research material two days ago. At that time, there were 127 Tawil's glowing eyes rushing toward me at the same time. I almost thought I was going to be eaten by them.
"Phyllis is also making a lot of noise. Her Fairy Void Consortium is open for business." I casually mentioned the Void Consortium while taking out Jingle from my pocket. The little one had been moving around in the pocket. When I took her out, I found that the little one was doing radio gymnastics. "Jingle, what are you doing?"
"I'm doing some exercise after eating!" Ding Dang huffed and puffed as she did her stretches. She then raised her head and saw the meat buns on the table, "Ya! Anveena's steamed meat buns! "
Following that, Ding Dang hopped and hopped into the steamer, lying on top of the biggest bun and gnawing on it. However, since she had already eaten dinner, she held her stomach and jumped out: "Ding Dang can't eat anymore, meat buns are so delicious!"
I silently looked at the bun that was bitten by Jingle, but the skin was not broken. I thought to myself, "What's the difference between eating and eating steamed buns …"
In fact, this problem had arisen before. Because Jingle's appetite was very small, she didn't know that there was actually filling in the buns when she first came to our house. She always thought that the buns were just steamed buns with wrinkles on the surface. Later, Anveena had to specially prepare the thumb-sized, art-like buns for the little one. Only then did Jingle understand why two foods that looked and tasted the same had different names. Of course, making special steamed buns for Ding Dang was quite troublesome, so I thought of a compromise, and that was to help the little thing scoop out the stuffing of the steamed bun and let her eat it with a spoonful of the stuffing. If you didn't raise a little creature like her, you definitely wouldn't think that there were so many details in life …
"The Void Financial Group," Sandora said thoughtfully. "I've heard of it, but I didn't pay much attention to it. There are many similar business organizations in the Macro World … Yeah, I'm not too interested in this. The Shiring Apostles don't need to trade. We passed this stage a long time ago."
"But most mortals haven't passed this stage," Jingle suddenly said. "In the Empire, there are still more mortals than Gods, right?"
Sandora and I looked at the little one in surprise. It seemed that the little one had said something very reasonable. But under our gazes, Jingle shook her head. "Jingle is done …"
I was speechless.
As expected, Jingle couldn't focus her limited intelligence on a proper matter for a long time. After saying something that sounded reasonable, the little one hopped onto the sofa's armrest and continued her stretching exercises. However, Sandora and I looked at each other. We felt that Jingle was reminding us: The Shiring Apostles didn't need to trade, but the other races under the Empire's rule did.
And the foundation of the Empire was the large number of ordinary races.
The communication network in the Macro World was controlled by the Imperial Army. Admittedly, this network was efficient and convenient. But aside from that, it didn't have many other functions. The Shiring Apostles didn't need a trade network, nor did they know how to build one. We maintained an abnormally loose control over the ordinary races in the Empire. We almost never asked about their internal business activities. Sandora had always thought that this was nothing, but Jingle's words made me realize that this was only "nothing" for the Shiring Apostles, but for the ordinary races …
"It's easy to think of using trade activities to enhance the communication between the ordinary races and the Empire's clans and the people of the Macro World, but I've never paid much attention to it." Sandora nodded. "Well, it's not too late to think of this. But I really don't think the Shiring Apostles can set up a business department …"
"In fact, we don't have to put the business in the hands of the Empire," I said after thinking for a while. "Because 'business' can bring zero benefits to the Empire. It's just an activator, and its only function is to broaden the communication in the Macro World. We just need to actively promote business groups like the Fairy Void Consortium. As for what they want to do … they certainly won't be able to overthrow the regime of the Empire. No race in the Macro World can hide from the eyes of the Empire. We just need to do a good job in approval and monitoring."
Sandora thought about it and nodded happily. Maybe with this nod, a behemoth called the Fairy Void Consortium would appear in the Macro World in the future. I could already foresee all of this. The Queen of Peddlers was really impressive …
Just then, a loud noise came from outside the gate and interrupted my conversation with Sandora. It seemed to be the silly fox again. After dinner, the fox ran out to play. It was her routine every evening, but it seemed that the fox came back a little earlier today. I lifted my head to look through the window into the courtyard. Sure enough, the fox was running in our direction. She was accompanied by the raven and Bubbles, who had joined in the fun.
The fox's tail seemed to be curling up something. The nine big tails were now tightly wrapped together. This was her usual way of carrying things, and no one else could imitate it.
"Fox!" I opened the window and shouted. The fox girl looked up and saw her owner (?). I immediately revealed a happy expression. I hopped over on all fours and directly jumped into the room through the window. I only saw a ball of golden fur flash before my eyes. Then, there was a Fox Immortal girl squatting on the sofa with bright eyes. She had jumped in with her shoes on!
This was the nature of the fox demon. She always did things her own way and never changed. Even though she had nine tails and 36D, she was still used to scratching her face with her feet and jumping in through the window onto my sofa. I guessed that she had the most freedom in this house. After all, no matter how naughty a child was, she couldn't be like a fox or a dog, right?
Seeing the last two buns on the low table, the fox's eyes suddenly lit up. She reached out for them. I reminded her, "These are Sandora's …"
Suddenly, the silly fox's ears trembled. The fur on her tail stood up like steel needles. She retracted her claws as if she was electrocuted. When she first came here, she didn't understand the situation. Plus, it was hard to change her wild animal nature. She had once accidentally eaten Sandora's snacks. Then, she saw Sandora eat half of the pots and pans in the cupboard because there wasn't enough food. That scene left a serious psychological shadow on her. She still firmly believed that Sandora didn't eat her because it was too troublesome to remove the fur from a fox's tail …
"You don't wash your hands, you don't change your shoes, you play outside and you get dirt all over your body. When you get home, you jump on the sofa …" I scolded the spoiled fox one by one, "You're a nine-tailed fox fairy, okay? Do you really want to mutate into a husky? "
"Monsters are free. I was the same back home." The fox shook her ears without a care. She knew I wouldn't do anything to her, so she was even more unrestrained. I noticed that her tail was still tightly curled into a ball. I couldn't help but be curious, "What's in your tail? What kind of rubbish were you picking up outside this time?! "
It wasn't the first time that this fox had picked up strange things in our house. I didn't know if it was a monster's nature, but we had no choice but to open up a small warehouse for her in the attic on the roof. It was filled with stone eggs that she dug out when she played outside. There were also strange things that I couldn't believe came from Earth. It was said that they were the deep rock crystals that she dug out from the surface of Gutenberg. Raising a nine-tailed fox fairy was a top-notch troublesome matter.
Now that she was picking things up, I couldn't say anything. I could only sigh helplessly and remind her to wash her hands.
"This time, it's something good!" The fox raised her neck confidently. She used the same sentence pattern to prove that she wasn't messing around. Then, she carefully spread her tail in front of me and placed a big black thing on the sofa. "I ran for a long time to dig it up! There's a familiar smell on it, and there are strange patterns on it. It must be a treasure. "
I looked at the treasure that Fox had brought back in amazement. I realized that it had been buried for a long time because it was a clay tablet with cuneiform characters written on it … Holy sh * t, a clay tablet with cuneiform characters written on it! Oh my god!
Of course, what was even worse was — —
"Don't put this kind of thing on the sofa! My sister just washed the sofa cover yesterday, you idiot! "
I was about to hit the fox's head with a karate chop, but she instantly wrapped herself into a furry ball with her tail and rolled on the ground. It was a reflex and a familiar set of movements. Then, she poked her head out of the furry ball and said, "I just wanted to make you happy …"
I was speechless. Does this thing know how to act cute and dodge my karate chop now?
Sandora curiously looked at the black clay tablet that seemed like it would shatter with a single touch. The latter was definitely a prehistoric artifact. If I were to show it to the world, it would probably cause a battalion of archaeologists to have a brain hemorrhage. Where did that stupid fox dig out such a treasure? Did she dig a hole in the ground and enter the National Museum?
I walked forward and pushed the fox's furry ball. "Stop fooling around. Let's talk business. Where did you find this thing?"
The fox's ears twitched. "Iraq …"
I was speechless. "… How could you run to Iraq for a walk after dinner?!"
"She brought me there." Kitsune shrunk her neck and raised her tail to point at the door, betraying her teammate. I followed the tip of her tail and happened to see a holy figure entering the room along with the moonlight. It turned out that Alaya had returned. The angel sister stretched her wings and revealed a silly smile. Then, she lay on the windowsill and spaced out.
Let me explain here. Normally, there were two fellows in the house who would always go for a walk after dinner. One was the wild and untamable fox, and the other was the angel sister who only knew what was going on in her head. However, they usually didn't take the same walks. The angel sister liked to chase satellites in space, while the fox liked to dig holes in the suburbs. They went their own ways. I don't know what happened today, but the two of them actually got together. No wonder the fox dug up a clay book from Iraq. To be honest, if she went for a walk with Alaya, I wouldn't be surprised if she dug up something from Zenith …
"Iraq …" Sandora gently stroked the clay book that had been buried in some ruins for who knows how long. "Is it a relic of the Sumerian or Babylonian civilization in the Mesopotamia Basin … No, the history of the clay book seems to be even older …"
I looked at an alien in a daze as she recalled the history of civilization on Earth. I felt that something was wrong.
"How did you dig it up?" I patted the fox's head. My tone was more curious than surprised. To be honest, I had encountered too many high-energy events in my daily life. I spent my days researching all kinds of doomsday scenarios and solutions to them, causing my nerves to be abnormally strong. In comparison, this fox only dug up a few thousand years old clay book from Iraq. I really couldn't be surprised. If she went to Gudeng Castle to dig up deep rock crystals, I might be excited. At the very least, she could become a toy for Little Bubble. However, I was also wondering if I should ask the fox to mark the place where she dug up the clay book. Then, I would ask Shallow Shallow to inform her father that Uncle Xu had recently dug up the ancestral tombs of an ancient kingdom in Africa and was preparing to move to Mesopotamia …
"I found a large piece of barren land near Iraq," the fox said indifferently. She stretched out her hand and gestured as if she was digging. "Then, I kept digging until I found a stone hole. In the hole, there was a clay book and gold …"
I looked at the pile of tails behind the fox's butt. I wanted to see where she hid the gold. In the end, the fox was quite smart and guessed my thoughts. "It was too heavy, so I threw it on the way."
"Where's your portable space?!"
"… I forgot."
I was stunned. She had thrown the gold away because it was too heavy, but she had brought back the clay book that was even more difficult to carry. If she had done it on purpose, I would have praised her for contributing to human civilization. However, it was obvious that the fox didn't think that much. She was indeed a capable member of the Husky family.
However, I didn't feel that it was a pity. After all, I didn't lack treasures. I just sighed at the fox's values. I hoped that the gold that she had thrown away would be picked up by someone who knew what it was. Then, I would consider it as a contribution to human civilization research. I refocused my attention on the clay book because Sandora had been studying it since the beginning. From time to time, she would reveal a thoughtful expression. Based on Sandora's performance, could it be that there was something special about this clay book?
"Feel it carefully." Sandora and I were telepathically connected. She knew what I was thinking and pointed at the clay book. "It's very weak. It's almost fading to zero, but it's still there. It's a psionic reaction."
I was startled. I knew that the fox had accidentally dug up something dangerous!
We knew that there were Schilling ruins on Earth. There were two sources of these ruins. A small portion was left behind by a soldier of Sandora's who had been stranded on Earth due to equipment failure. The majority of the ruins came from the Atlantean civilization, left behind by the Empire's expedition team and Visca's army of destruction. These ruins were buried deep underground with geological changes. The dangerous radioactive materials and weapon systems inside could cause a disaster to mankind at any time. That was why we had launched an operation to scan and recover these relics worldwide. (In fact, one of the original missions of Boundless Love was to search for these dangerous things. However, their mission had already ended.) I had thought that after that large-scale operation, these dangerous ruins would have been cleaned up, but …
The fox had dug out another one?
How did this relic escape the massive global scanning back then?
