"No, no. The old man snorted when he heard this, and his face was full of smiles, but he still tried to make a look of "I just did a trivial thing".

Waving his hand, the old man said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that during the time you went out, I was bored and just fiddled around, and I ended up with such a thing." This thing is of no great use except for doing a little chores, digging pits, moving things, etc., and sometimes there are mistakes in the work, so don't think too highly of it. ”

As the old man spoke, the skeleton digging in the distance exerted too much force and threw the shovel out of the air. The skeleton grabbed the air and continued to dig in place several times before reacting, slowly turning its head to scan, locking the position of the shovel, walking closer with heavy steps, bending down to pick it up, and walking back to the edge of the pit to continue digging.

Richard couldn't help but smile in his heart, but he didn't despise it, and said to the old man of the lich: "Maybe this skeleton is indeed rough and prone to mistakes, but the internal structure is still sophisticated enough. In particular, the design of the rotation mechanism, the trimming of the weights, in my opinion, all use no low mathematical knowledge - Mr. Afu, I have despised you before, and you are more knowledgeable than I thought. ”

"Hehe, it's a little thing. The old man said disapprerovingly, "By the way, I'm going to add another arm to this skeleton and install it in the heart socket, so that it can do things more conveniently." ”

"Three arms? Richard said, after a pause, he said, "If you have one more arm, you must rebalance the weight to prevent it from affecting the center of gravity, and change the structure of your back accordingly." Depending on the situation, you need to add 10 kg to 20 kg of weight to your back, which means that you need to add about 18 to 36 pounds of weight. The specific value, and location, need to be calculated specifically to determine. ”

"That's what I thought of. The old man said, "The values have already been calculated, and I will adjust them when I rest...... Gah!"

In the middle of speaking, the old man of the lich suddenly stopped abruptly, and his face changed and became a little strange.

Richard looked to the side in confusion and saw Pandora striding over, holding a half-bald golden retriever with a resemblance to Popobowevich in her left hand and a piece of paper in her right hand.

"What is this?" Richard frowned slightly, looked at Pandora and asked, "Is there a problem that can't be solved?"

"It's not. Pandora shook her head, looked at the old lich man Ah Fu, walked straight to the nearest place, threw the paper in his hand to the old lich man, and said loudly, "Hey, old man, what you asked me to calculate before, I took the time to calculate it for you in advance, and the value is 13.65 kilograms, that is, 30.0930988 pounds." Well, come to think of it, you can't be so accurate, so you just need to remember 30 pounds.

Okay, I'll help you get things done, then according to what you promised me, your dog will continue to follow me for the next few days. By the way, I gave you a lot of calculations about what steering use, trim weight, and you promised your dog that he would follow me for fifteen days, counting the five days this time, a total of twenty days. Now it's just ten days away, so there are still ten days. Ten days later, I'll give you back the dog. Let's go. ”

After speaking, Pandora quickly turned around and led the golden retriever to the side.

The golden retriever looked at the old man with a reluctant gaze, as if to say, "You just left me to someone else?"

The old lich's face was full of embarrassment, and instead of looking at the golden retriever yellow dog, he turned his head to look at the air next to him, and the atmosphere in the field was a little weird.

After a while, when Pandora was far away, the old lich looked up at Richard and asked seriously, "What...... I'm saying now, I made the iron pipe inside the skull and bones, and it has nothing to do with that little girl, do you believe it?"

"Guess. Richard looked at the old man and said calmly.

"I'm ......" The Lich Old Man's eyes widened, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Forget it, believe it or not...... the old lich man waved his hand loosely, with a bit of dejection on his face, and lay back in his easy chair, "You better hurry up and plant trees over there, I don't care about the rest." ”

"Then you can rest. But I don't need your pit, so I'd better fill it up with skeletons. Richard glanced at the old man of the lich.

"Brush!"

The old man who had just laid down sat up quickly, looked at Richard, and said in surprise, "Well, what, my pit is useless, why? It is not well dug, it is too shallow? It's okay, I can let the skeleton dig a little deeper." ”

"No, it's not the depth, it's that I'm not at all comfortable putting the heart in the soil. Richard looked at the heart of the tree holding his hand and said, "This is an immortal strange species after all, although I will not destroy it at all costs like the Truth Society, but I will not despise it."

Really planting the other party in the soil is to give the other party a layer of protection and a layer of camouflage, the part on the ground can be seen, but the part of the underground is difficult. I don't want to let the other party unknowingly control the entire underground of this space - there will be endless troubles. Therefore, some restrictions must be made to resurrect and grow the other party in other ways to facilitate supervision. ”

"What's that way?" asked the old lich.

"Soilless cultivation. Richard said softly, without saying anything more, and walked into a nearby room with the heart of the tree.

"Shhhh

The old man looked at Richard's back, took a breath, showed a thoughtful expression, tilted his head and thought for a long time without understanding what "soilless cultivation" was.

"No soil...... Cultivation without soil?" the old man pursed his lips, "Is it the ancient way of cultivating elves that has been lost?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The old lich shook his head, got up with some curiosity, and followed Richard into the room.

The interior of the room had obviously been modified by Richard in advance, and the irrelevant things had been cleaned up, leaving only a stone platform.

On the stone platform there is a glass pool with carved patterns, the length is more than three meters, the width is more than one meter, but the depth is only a few centimeters, several glass pillars stand in the center of the pool, I don't know what to do.

The pool contained a colorless and transparent liquid, and the old man subconsciously thought it was not water, but it was not clear what it was. In addition, he also saw that there were catheters at both ends of the pool to inject and drain the liquid, so that the liquid could flow slowly, and he didn't know what it was for.

At this time, Richard held a light gray board in both hands and gently lowered it into the pool.

The board is about a meter square, and it looks very lightweight, and after being placed in the pool, it floats directly.

There was a hole in the center of the board, and Richard put the center of the tree in it. Then move the board slightly so that it is fixed to the glass pillar in the center of the pool, and tap your head.

The old lich man frowned, looked at Richard and asked, "Is this the end of it......?" Cultivation?"

"Yes. ”

"How can this work? How can it work without soil?"

"Just look at it?" said Richard softly, without elaborating.

"Okay. The old man looked patiently at the heart of the tree on the board, and his eyelids jumped, and he saw that at one end of the heart of the tree there were many fine milky white fibrous roots sticking out, slowly swaying in mid-air.
