This was the first night we spent in this faraway world. Far away from home, in an unfamiliar environment, the fact that "outside this world is the line of fire" had brought us a lot of pressure, and... I'm not going to lament about this nonsense. Shallow Shallow was sleeping like a piglet, so was Lin Xue. I guessed that the Pandora sisters and the female gangster next door were also in the same state. We were already used to sleeping in all kinds of environments. In theory, we had reached the point where we could sleep and wake up as soon as we closed our eyes, regardless of whether we were in a sea of fire or a mountain of daggers. This was a realm that had been honed by experience. Of course, there were also those who said that we were simple-minded, but they all meant the same thing. In any case, we had transmigrated so many times that we would have gotten used to it by now.
The blockhead's house was indeed huge. Perhaps it had something to do with his contributions to the village, or maybe it had something to do with his size. In any case, it was a huge house. Of course, he couldn't live in such a big place alone. Plus, the black cat couldn't live in it either, so most of the place was empty. Tonight, we were resting on the second floor of the main house. This was supposed to be the living room of the owner of the house, but the blockhead stubbornly left the best room for the "noble guests from the imperial capital" while he spent the night in the side room opposite the courtyard. This made me feel bad, because I could tell that the blockhead wasn't rich (or rather, no one in this small village had too much material wealth). There was no furniture in the side room, only a bed covered with hay. However, the blockhead cheerfully blocked us all in the main house, then ran into the empty side room with his bedding. His logic was very simple. The guests from the imperial capital were noble guests, and the scholars and their families were even more noble guests. "Noble guests" couldn't sleep on the straw beds in the countryside, and he was thick-skinned...
That was the logic of the big man. It was simple but stubborn. Even a female gangster like Bryndis couldn't make him give in without using violence. In the end, we could only awkwardly stay in the only furnished room in the house. The blockhead was quite happy. Before he went to sleep, he even thanked us for the pastries and scones. He felt like he had gotten a great deal. Because other than the priest, he was the only one in the village who had tasted the 'city people's pastries'.
I woke up in the middle of my sleep. It wasn't that I couldn't sleep well in an unfamiliar environment, but I was woken up by a kick from Qian Qian. I woke up abruptly in mid-air, and I glided in the air for 0.3 seconds. It wasn't until I saw Shallow Shallow's outstretched foot that I realized why I flew off the edge of the bed. I was very satisfied with my emergency response. Before I landed, I was able to take out a sponge cushion from my dimensional pocket and place it under me. That way, I didn't wake Shallow Shallow and Lin Xue up. How could I not be a model husband?
But after being tossed around, I completely lost my sleepiness. I got up and tidied up my pajamas. I shook my head and smiled bitterly as I looked at the two girls who occupied almost three-quarters of the bed. Of course, this was the blockhead's room. Although it was the most 'luxurious' place in the house, there were only a few pieces of old and rough wooden furniture. In order to match the size of the owner of the room, every piece of furniture was extraordinarily large. Shallow Shallow, Lin Xue, and I shared a room. They put their mattresses together to fill up the large wooden bed in the room...
After all, they were girls. They were used to using their own things outside.
"No matter how large the bed is, it can't hold Shallow Shallow's sleeping posture. Lin Xue isn't any better today either..." I muttered to myself. I turned and walked out of the room. Since I couldn't sleep anymore, I might as well go out and take a breath of fresh air. I might as well take a look at the night view of this world.
The two-story wooden houses in this village had a similar layout. The first floor was much larger than the second floor. The first floor was the central room, kitchen, small storeroom and the like. The second floor was for people to stay in. Because the second floor was' shrunk ', it left an open corridor outside. The corridor was blocked by wooden railings to prevent people from falling down. If there were more rooms on the second floor, they would be connected by this corridor. I walked out of the room and arrived at the open-air corridor. I looked back at the door next to me. That was the room of Icetis and Pandora. It was also one of the two furnished rooms in this house. Some people might have already guessed it. That's right, it was the room of that black cat...
We didn't discuss why a black cat had a room as big as its owner. We also didn't discuss why a black cat's room had a set of furniture. Since cats could talk, what was impossible? I even heard that the little female cat made her own quilt every day, and she (after thinking about it, I think it's better to call a female cat with a high IQ and cooking skills "she") was used to helping her master clean up the room after making her quilt in the morning. What's so strange about a cat having her own room if that's the case? I even wanted to compare the stupid fox at home with this psychic cat. Although Blacky didn't look like a human, nor did he have a bunch of tails or thousands of years of cultivation, I always felt that she was more reliable than the fox. Oh my Jingle, the fox at home was so lazy that she didn't even want to use her blanket. Every day, when she slept, she would use her tail to roll herself into a ball. She cultivated for thousands of years just to not make her bed. Do you think there's a need to cure her?!
Just as I was thinking about that, the door next to me suddenly opened. A tall figure stretched lazily and walked out. When she saw me, she greeted me in surprise, "Hey, Chen, you noticed too?"
I looked at the person in front of me. She had long hair that touched the ground, a voluptuous body, and wore a playful smile on her face. If it wasn't Icetis, who else could it be? Why wasn't this female pervert sleeping in the middle of the night?
"Noticed what?" I didn't react in time, so I asked casually.
Icetis was looking up at the sky. Hearing my question, she looked at me in surprise, "You didn't know? Then why did you wake up in the middle of the night? "
"I was kicked down by Qian Qian — that girl doesn't have a good sleeping posture. What did you say you noticed? "
Icetis was stunned for a moment. Then, she shook her head and smiled silently. She pointed at the sky and said, "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 this planet to have a moon too. It was just that the moon was different from the one on Earth. It looked bigger and its surface wasn't golden yellow. Instead, it had a blurry dark blue color. I looked at it carefully and suddenly felt that the dark blue spots were unusual. The more I looked at it, the more it looked like land and ocean. Also, if I were to look closely at the dark areas, I would see that there were more details hidden within. However, those details couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
"That moon …" I couldn't help but mutter, "Why does it look like a terrestrial planet?"
"That is a terrestrial planet. Its size should be similar to the planet we are standing on." Icetis crossed her arms and stood next to me. It seemed that she already knew the general situation of the planet. "I saw it when I woke up earlier. Then, I used my spiritual power to 'observe' it. However, I didn't dare to use too much power, so I only scanned it roughly. I can only confirm that it is a terrestrial planet and there are signs of life on it. Then, I went back to my room to prepare. When I came out, I saw you outside too. I thought you came out because you noticed it too. I didn't expect you to be woken up by your wife's kick. "
"A terrestrial planet? About the same size? " I looked at the 'moon' in the sky, which was much bigger than the one on Earth. It was incomplete and looked like it was about to be full. The large dark blue spots on its surface looked like land and ocean. "It and the planet we are standing on are …"
"A binary system." Icetis nodded. "The planet we are standing on doesn't have a satellite, but it has a companion star that is almost the same size as it. The two planets form a binary system and they orbit the same sun. What did you think of? "
I activated my imagination and combined all the information I had heard during the day. I glanced at the blue and black 'moon' in the sky and finally blurted out, "You suspect that it is the Dim Moon?"
Bryndis nodded. "Blockhead, these locals only know of one moon, and that is the companion star above their heads. For them, things like a binary star system don't mean much, as long as they know it's the moon. Originally, I thought the 'Dim Moon' referred to a place on this planet, but it happened to be named after the moon. Now that I see that thing in the sky … I think the 'Dim Moon' that the locals are talking about 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. "A normal planet's surface should reflect light much brighter than that. Look, other than the ocean, the land is basically black. It seems that the geological situation is very interesting."
"Dim Moon …" Icetis chuckled. "It seems that we have to go to that planet to take a look after we figure out the situation here. If the 'Dim Moon' that blockhead is talking about is the moon above their heads … then what about the demons and monsters from the Dim Moon that he mentioned? Do they have spaceships or teleportation technology? The war between the Dim Moon and the people on Earth has suddenly turned into an interstellar war. "
After Icetis reminded me, I also thought about it. However, it was strange no matter how I thought about it. I looked at the primitive village in front of me. The people here were still using oil lamps for lighting. There wasn't even a basic mechanical tool in the village, and there weren't any brilliant magic creations. It was hard for me to associate a group of people living like this with the 'Earth-Moon Shuttle' or 'Space Teleportation Portal'. Of course, what we saw now was only the small village in front of us. Perhaps those advanced items were concentrated in the hands of the upper class. Weren't many feudal magic civilizations like this?
At this moment, I suddenly remembered that Icetis had said that she 'went back to the house to prepare' after seeing the strange moon in the sky. It was just that I was focused on studying the moon, so I didn't pay attention to what she said. Now that I remembered, I quickly asked her, "What did you prepare when you went back to the house?"
"Some small toys," Icetis said as she summoned a few small golden light balls out of thin air. "How long would it take for us to figure out the local history and culture with just the few of us? So, we have to use a more efficient method. "
I looked at the light balls. They seemed to be real and had blurry facial features. They looked very familiar, "This is …"
"Lice spirits on foxes," Icetis tossed a light ball at me without a care. "I asked her for a few to keep as pets. That chick usually uses these lice spirits as marbles anyway."
I caught the light ball that Sis Bing had tossed over in a flurry. The light ball was warm to the touch. Although it was made of light, it had a real feel to the touch. Its' appearance 'was similar to that of a silly fox. It must have been imitating its master. To be honest, as long as you don't think about what these light balls looked like before, they did look quite cute. The light ball that was slightly smaller than a ping-pong ball bounced on my hand and let out a series of chirping sounds that sounded like a wind chime. Then, it floated in midair and looked at me curiously.
"What are you planning to do with them?" I flicked the light ball back to Icetis's side and asked curiously.
"To collect information," the female gangster revealed a sly smile, "I've given them happy intelligence. Although these little things' intelligence isn't high yet, they're still smarter than your probes and can already be used as spies. Let them hide in a place with a lot of people like the capital. At the same time, they can look for places like libraries and archives. Then, they can bring back a few history books and religious scriptures. It won't be any slower than us asking around. "
As she said that, Icetis waved her hand. Seven to eight light balls instantly turned into a few bright lines and disappeared into the night sky. I was rather impressed by the female pervert's creativity. "To think that you could come up with such an idea."
"Actually, I feel that it wouldn't be a problem for us to let loose a little." Icetis waved her hand carelessly. Then, she muttered, "It might be a little obvious to use spaceships, but how big is the energy reaction of the probes and temporary satellites? The Fallen Apostles are still outside the world barrier. They won't be able to detect these things. "
I knew that Icetis couldn't stand such a restricted mission. Furthermore, what she said made sense. I nodded. "Mm. Actually, it is only for safety reasons that I try not to use those things. However, if there is no other way, those devices still have to be used."
"That's settled then." Icetis yawned and waddled back to her room. "I'm going back to sleep. If you want to continue hanging out, you can hang out outside."
I was left alone in the open-air corridor. I grinned and raised my head to look at the 'moon' hanging in the night sky.
According to the color distribution on its surface, this planet had a large area of black land and a small area of dark blue ocean. At least, it was like that on the side facing me. It was understandable that the dark blue moon was called the 'Dim Moon' by the locals. I recalled what Icetis had said. There was life on that planet. Moreover, the enemies that were known as demons and monsters came from there.
A civilization in the feudal era was engaged in an interstellar war with the enemies on its companion planet? I didn't know what to say in such a situation. The Imperial Army and the Fallen Apostles outside the world were already filled with the smell of gunpowder. However, the natives in this ungoverned universe were still foolishly carrying out their own primitive interstellar war … Who was this mockery for?
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that this question was dull and uninteresting. Wearing pajamas in the middle of the night under the moon of another world while the cold wind blew, thinking about world peace was really not in line with my character. I crossed my arms and returned to my room.
After a night of silence, we welcomed our first morning in this world.
Everyone dressed neatly came out of the house and greeted each other. Pandora and Visca seemed to have had a little conflict again. The two sisters said good morning to me in their entangled state. We saw a silly man who had probably woken up earlier than us in the courtyard. He was swinging his arms as he walked around in the courtyard, stretching his muscles. When he saw the guests coming down, he immediately welcomed them with a smile. "Did you sleep well last night? A house in the countryside is just like this … "
"That's good, that's good." I quickly nodded. "Actually, you don't have to think too highly of us. We run around all day and spend the night in the wilderness. We're all thick-skinned."
The psychic cat was lying on the shoulder of the silly man. Blackie bared its fangs at us to show off. Then, it waved its paw at Icetis and said, "You took my room last night! You didn't mess up my bed, did you? You look like you have big hands and big feet … "
Icetis looked at the cat with a smile. She took out a dried fish from somewhere and waved it in front of the cat's eyes. "If you don't cooperate, I will use the dried fish to form a crater. Then, I will tie you up and put you in the middle."
The black cat had a bad temper. It meowed contemptuously and jumped onto the wall to bask in the sun, leaving the female hooligan to be surprised. "Hey, why does this trick work on the fox, but it doesn't work on the cat?"
I chuckled. "How can a husky be the same as a cat?"
We had breakfast at the silly man's house. This honest man was willing to share his things with others. Just like yesterday, we took out the delicacies we had brought from home and invited the silly man to eat. The black cat, who had been complaining about the room being taken, was finally comforted by the snacks. While talking with the black cat, I discovered a magical truth: Icetis couldn't use the dried fish to tempt the cat not because the latter wasn't firm enough, but because the cat was allergic to fish …
Since I didn't know if all the cats in this world were that magical, I didn't ask much. Anyway, Icetis was in a mess from beginning to end. It wasn't easy to see this female pervert being defeated.
At this time, the village gradually became lively. The boorish villagers greeted each other at the entrance of the street. It sounded like they were quarreling. It was noisy, but there was a sense of closeness to the villagers. Soon, I heard a strange noise coming from a certain direction. The silly man was tidying up the yard. When he heard the noise, he cheerfully stood up. "The Village Elder is back! I will bring you to see the Village Elder! "
