Chapter 367: Time Shifts
When they returned to the residence of Li Sixian and the others, three hours had passed, although it was just a little place, but Lin Shu and Lao Wang still had a very detailed understanding, maybe they had their own emphasis, but they both found this mysterious race very interesting.
Lin Shu invited Jessie to come in and sit down, but Jessie resolutely refused, and then ran away with a strange look.
The house here is semi-circular, probably because it was built quickly enough, and the place where Li Sixian lived should have been a place to entertain distinguished guests, just on the side of a luxurious complex, which needless to say was the residence of the powerful people in the tribe.
The sound of Lin Shu talking at the door alarmed the people in the house, and Zhou Minxuan quickly ran out.
"Eh, Minxuan, aren't you going to sleep?"
"Hee-hee, can't you wake up?"
Lin Shu shook his head to show disbelief, Zhou Minxuan didn't care, her attention was on Lin Shu's hand: "What are these?"
"Local specialties, sea animal skins, seven-colored coral carvings, some very characteristic handicrafts or something, oh, and some seeds. ”
"You really bought so many sea animal skins, do you really want to oh, I see, you want your sisters and sisters to wear tights, just like the little girl just now, isn't it?
Lao Wang smiled a little exaggerated on the side, obviously implying that Zhou Minxuan's guess was all right, Lin Shu said angrily as he walked inside: "Yes, everyone has a love for beauty, I just like to watch it, why don't you have a set of Minxuan?" Everyone has a share. ”
Zhou Minxuan grimaced. Laughed and ran.
Go inside. Lin Shu found that the furniture and supplies inside were also very distinctive, looked around, and found that Li Xiaoxin and Zhang Huiyao were sitting on a circular sofa-like chair, in the middle of the ring is a circular table, there are several gaps in the ring, for people to enter and exit, this small ring chair can sit more than a dozen people. I don't know why I want to make it so big.
Li Xiaoxin glanced at Lin Shu and snorted a little dissatisfied, obviously disagreeing with his behavior of running to shop first regardless of it, instead of understanding the current situation first.
Lin Shu put the bag in his hand and the original travel bag on his back on the ground, and Lao Wang did the same, and he was still happily tidying it up, and he didn't seem to be interested in the affairs of Li Sixian and his wife at all.
Lin Shu walked to the circular chair and sat down, feeling that it was not very soft. But it's not hard, I don't know what it's made of.
"Where's Uncle?"
"I was invited by the Boca Patriarch. I guess it's about you. Zhang Huiyao glanced at Li Xiaoxin and replied with a smile.
"Our business?"
"Yes, for the Boca Chiefs, you are the surprise guests, they need to get to know you carefully in order to determine if you are a threat to them, contact with the surface races is certainly their job, but it seems to be quite important to control the risk, right?"
"I don't know about the Dao, but their feelings can be understood, after all, the number and strength of the surface races should not be underestimated, is it because they are so careful, is it because they lack the strength to protect themselves?"
"It's possible, according to our guess, the Grimmmen should have migrated from the land to the sea more than 100,000 years ago, but their magic skill system is not as strong as it is in the ancient ruins, this is too strange, how is their magic skill system transmitted?
"This may have something to do with the system and living environment of the Grimmmen people, the tribes, no matter how you think about it, are very backward systems, it is really hard to imagine what their city is like, and what kind of structure the whole society is. ”
Zhang Huiyao glanced at Lin Shu with satisfaction, shook her head and said: "It's hard to say, there are many possibilities here, such as the outbreak of large-scale wars, or the destruction of sea beasts, etc., hundreds of thousands of years are long, and a lot of things will happen." ”
"Auntie is right, there are indeed these possibilities, anyway, the Grimmmen are now interested in making contact with the surface race, which is a good thing. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"Mom, because of the appearance of the magic teleportation array, the Demon Research Association is preparing to promote the strategy of ocean development and exploration, if the Grimm Saimen clan does not take the initiative to contact the surface race, if it is discovered at that time, the situation may be even worse, you think, the Grimm Saimen are so vigilant, once they suddenly come into contact, they will definitely fight, and then it will be troublesome. ”
"The Demon Research Council has already decided this?"
"Not yet, but it will be discussed at this conference, the magic teleportation array will accelerate the development of civilization of the Green Star surface race, and the sea will naturally be included in the vision of the Magic Research Association. ”
Lin Shu added a sentence for Li Xiaoxin.
Zhang Huiyao thought thoughtfully for a while, looking at Zhang Huiyao's contemplative appearance, Lin Shu suddenly felt that their mother and daughter actually looked very similar, but they just liked to laugh and the other didn't laugh much.
"This must be told to the Boca patriarch, and it seems that the sea is no longer a safe place to hide. ”
"Hehe, it was, I haven't seen a race evolve in the direction of hiding, it's really a strange race! However, my aunt seems to have strange feelings for this race, I'm afraid it's not just because they helped my uncle and aunt, right?"
"Hehe, Lin Shu, you're smart, but I won't tell you about this!"
Lin Shu shrugged his shoulders: "By the way, aunt, can you tell me, what is the stone that can float in the hands of the black wolf who controls the island above?"
"That, that's a kind of sea beast bones formed after alchemy, it's one of the specialties of the Grimmmen clan, I just saw that the cave leads to the Grimmmen tribe's settlement!"
"That thing is a Grimmmen specialty? Why didn't I see it?"
"Hehe, they don't sell that kind of thing, firstly, there are not many of them, and secondly, this is also their scarce material. ”
"What are you going to do? Is it a means of transportation in the sea?"
"I don't know, but it's possible. ”
"I see, if only that thing could produce energy, it would be able to build not only a city that floats on the sea, but even a city that floats in the air, a castle in the sky! ”
Zhang Huiyao's eyes narrowed, and her face turned slightly sideways, but it was impossible for the mood swings at that moment to escape Lin Shu's eyes.
"By the way, I bought a lot of interesting handicrafts, do you want to take a look at Xiaoxin?"
"Don't! You can look at those things whenever you want, can you get down to business first!"
Lin Shu asked in surprise, "What is the serious matter?"
"Are you going to stay here for the rest of your life?"
"No, don't you want to go?"
"What do you say, aren't they afraid that we will reveal their secrets!"
Lin Shu nodded, but this kind of idea is a very stupid idea, whether they have the ability to keep Lin Shu and the others is very problematic, and more importantly, since they are worried, don't contact it in the first place, this kind of hesitant idea is the most boring.
"I don't think the Boca patriarch is that stupid, otherwise they wouldn't have taken the initiative to contact humans, and that cave, do you really think those crusty worms dug to the surface?"
"Is this them?"
"They can find their uncles and aunts to be their agents, and naturally they can also find others, maybe the black wolf will also be their agents, but the degree is different and the strategy is different!"
"The eldest young master is right, I see it too!" the old king interjected without raising his head, and then continued to think about where his newly bought coral wine glass should be placed in the package so that it would not be crushed.
Zhang Huiyao patted the top of Li Xiaoxin's head, and said with some pampering: "Look, your senior brother also said don't worry, you don't have to worry about it, I like to worry about it since I was a child, it's rare to come once, you have to have a good time!"
"What, it's not that you and Dad don't care about anything, can I not worry about it, don't worry about it, we eat dry bread every day!"
"Hehe, it's all because my mother is not good, don't be angry!"
"I hate it, my mother hates it the most! ”
"Hee-hee, ma'am, miss, she's worried about that guy. ”
"That guy, oh, Ludel? Hehe, that's a matter of custom, patriarchal thinking is just weird, don't pay attention to him, in fact, he is good, and he is a little like Kong Zhexu. ”
"Well, I think so too!" Lin Shu said with a smile.
While everyone was talking, Li Sixian returned, and he brought an interesting invitation.
"Lin Shu, Boca invites you to an induction ceremony tomorrow. ”
"Entry ceremony?" Lin Shu and Li Xiaoxin glanced at each other, and the two asked in unison.
"Yes, the entry ceremony is a test ceremony to officially become a soldier, and the specific content is unknown. ”
"It's not just a visit, right?" interjected Wang curiously, or asked expectantly.
"Well, perhaps, not necessarily without a show of force. ”
"Uncle, did you tell them who I am?"
"I guess I told them that they were interested in you being a member of the Demonic Research Society, and they might have the idea of borrowing your hand to join the Demonic Research Society. ”
Lin Shu nodded, and told Li Sixian about the Demon Research Society's intention to explore the ocean again.
"Uncle, please go and ventilate to the Boca patriarch again, lest he misjudge the situation, the Grimm Men have their specialties and advantages, but this advantage will become weaker and weaker with the promotion of the teleportation array."
"Wait, why is this happening?" Li Xiaoxin interjected.
"Because the magic teleportation array is not just a magic teleportation array, but a system, once this system is mastered, our magic skills will improve by leaps and bounds, and then the Grimmmen clan will definitely have fewer and fewer chips in their hands. ”
"I see, Huiyao, what do you see?"
"They should have been told right away. ”
"Then I'll go again, by the way, they'll feast us in the evening, dress up!" (To be continued......)
