Chapter 1675 Inspection
It only took a few breaths for Zeratul and Artanis' cross-galaxy psychic communication to complete, and then he opened his eyes and said, "The archbishop agrees with His Majesty's proposal."
Murong Feng chuckled, "I thought Atanis would refuse." β
Zeratul sighed, "The arrogance of the past has cost us too much, and if the Star Spirit Clan wants to survive, it must learn to learn the advantages of each race to make up for its own shortcomings. β
Murong Feng nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, learning from each other's strengths is the right way to develop and grow. β
"Then let's talk about the candidates now." Murong Feng turned his head to face the group of veteran staff officers.
Immediately, the meeting room was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and it was clear that the veterans were very interested in the powerful warships of the Star Spirit Clan.
Li Menghu tapped on the table and said: "This operation is mainly an air battle, so the candidates should be selected from the Air Force staff officers. β
Wang Tiezhu immediately slapped the table and said: "What those bugs are best at is the sea of worm tactics, and they are only used by the air force." β
Li Menghu glared and said, "Am I the chief of the General Staff or are you the chief of the General Staff?" β
"Just take matters into account!" Grandfather Murong Xiong played a round and said, "Don't keep holding a hat and pressing people." β
Li Menghu looked at Murong Feng and snorted, "What do you say, girl?" β
"Half each." Murong Feng said lightly: "There are five people on each side, but there must be more than two young staff officers among them, and you have discussed and submitted the list." β
Li Menghu was speechless immediately, and said helplessly: "Okay, I agree." β
"Adjournment!" Murong Feng got up and left his seat, and the projections of the crowd disappeared immediately.
"Sit casually." Murong Feng turned back to his office chair and sat down, beckoning, "I want to drink, uh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you star spirits don't need to eat." β
"You're welcome." Zeratul walked slowly to the huge transparent curtain window and looked out over the vast Golden City.
Murong Feng picked up the tea that had cooled down, and chuckled: "When they discuss the candidates, it will take some time, and you can go around the city." β
Zeratul exclaimed, "I have traveled to countless planets and seen countless interstellar cities, but the Golden City is the most special. β
"Oh? What's so special about it? Murong Feng asked with a smile.
Zeratul pondered for a moment and said, "In other interstellar cities, the strong always occupy absolute dominance, while the weak are like ants. But this is not the case in the Golden City under the crown, everything seems so strange that even the gods can live with those mortals on an equal footing. β
"Equality? No, you're ignoring a point. Murong Feng shook his head and said, "In this golden city, there is actually the least equality at all. β
Zeratul looked back and said in surprise: "How do you say this?" β
Murong Feng smiled proudly and said, "Because I'm the only dictator in the Golden City!" Only all beings under the Buddha-figure are equal! β
Zeratul was silent for a long time before commenting: "Very peculiar political system, incomprehensible. β
Murong Feng said: "It's hard to understand, how many civilizations are there in the entire universe?" What does it mean if they all look the same? Don't talk about that, the visitor is a guest, why don't I take you around. β
"It's fine." Zeratu nodded slightly, and didn't ask Murong Feng much if he planned to take him there.
Murong Feng pressed down the communicator and asked Shen Lao to prepare the spaceship, and then took Zeratu to board the spaceship and fly to the Mohai.
The former Mohai has long been developed into a vast plantation, forming a unique landscape in a desolate hell.
And this vast plantation is full of hordes of hellish demons at work.
"Are these demons slaves?" Zeratul asked suspiciously, "Why don't you see any guards?" β
Murong Feng smiled lightly: "These are all demons who are eager to obtain the qualification of a resident of the Golden City. β
Zeratu immediately understood, nodded slightly, and said, "It is better to drive it with profit than to drive it with force." β
The ship quickly skimmed over the planting area, through an energy barrier, and into the central exclusion zone.
"...... this?" Zeratul saw the ruins of the ancient temple at a glance.
"The palace left behind by the former Lord of Greed." Murong Feng piloted the spaceship and slowly landed on the platform.
The troops on duty here were already ready for the FΓΌhrer's inspection.
There were no formal welcome ceremonies, no pretentious speeches, only a group of soldiers acting as escorts, while the rest of the soldiers held their posts.
"The FΓΌhrer is welcome to come and inspect it." Colonel Li Zhongli saluted and said loudly.
Murong Feng returned the salute and nodded slightly, "Take me to see Master Zhou Zhuo." β
"Yes, please come with me." Li Zhong turned around and led the way.
A scientific research institute was erected at the city gate closest to the ruins, which was dedicated to the work of experts from the Ministry of Science and Technology to study the monument.
Murong Feng met Master Zhou Zhuo in the research institute.
"Under the Moon Shadow, you're back." Zhou Zhuo held a large pile of scrolls and rested them on the table.
Murong Feng smiled and asked, "Master Zhou Zhuo's research has made progress?" β
"Yes." Zhou Zhuo said bluntly: "After analysis, I have judged that the elemental magic circle that seals the ancient hall is a very ancient spell, and it can be opened by sacrificing. β
"Sacrifice?" Murong Feng frowned lightly and said, "What do you need to sacrifice?" β
Zhou Zhuo said embarrassedly: "It's best to be a living thing, the stronger the better, of course, treasures are also fine." β
Murong Feng thought for a moment and asked, "Is the energy crystal okay?" β
Zhou Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Theoretically, it should be feasible, but the amount needed may be a bit large." β
Murong Feng said angrily: "You report the number, and I will order someone to send it." β
Zhou Zhuo was not polite, and reported directly: "It takes about a thousand catties of energy crystals!" β
"How much?" Murong Feng thought that he was having auditory hallucinations, and almost bit his tongue: "Do you know how much a thousand catties of energy crystals are worth?" β
Zhou Zhuo said helplessly: "This is just an estimate, the real situation may need more, after all, this ruin was built by an ancient god." β
Murong Feng rubbed her eyebrows and smiled bitterly, it was not that she couldn't take out so many spars, but the question of whether it was worth it. After all, a thousand catties of energy crystals are enough to refine 50,000 magic crystal coins, and one magic crystal coin is equivalent to 10,000 gold coins!
This is undoubtedly an astronomical amount of money, enough to build a light cruiser.
If this ancient hall hides mountains of gold and silver, it is fine, but if it is completely empty inside, then this thousand catties of energy spar will really be lost.
Murong Feng was undecided for a while, and Zelatu, who was standing aside and had never spoken, suddenly said loudly: "Can you take me to visit that ancient hall?" During my early years of traveling in the universe, I also explored many ancient ruins. β
Murong Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed: "It's okay, come with me." β
Taking Zeratu and Zhou Zhuo with him, Murong Feng left the temporary research institute and entered the inner city through the gate of the ancient monument.
Zeratu looked as he walked, "This ancient hall has a powerful energy barrier, and it takes extremely powerful energy to crack it. β
Murong Feng immediately asked, "Do you have a way?" β
Zeratu shook his head and said, "It's easy to crack and difficult to preserve, if you forcibly crack it, it's very likely that the entire ancient palace will be destroyed as well." β
Murong Feng shook his head and sighed, and took him to visit several side halls next to him.
Zeratu turned around and muttered, "This Master Zhou Zhuo's analysis is not wrong, if you want to break the energy barrier of this ancient hall, you really need to spend a lot of energy to sacrifice. β
Murong Feng looked at the door and sighed: "It's a pity that now that it's the time to use troops, I can't smash important strategic materials in this place where I can't see any return." β
In fact, Murong Feng still didn't say anything: "If you can get that power gem, maybe you can easily open the seal of this ancient hall!" β
"Let's lock this place off for now, and then we'll think about it in the long run." Murong Feng turned around and ordered, and said politely to Zhou Zhuo: "I'm tired of the master, I'm afraid that the research here will have to be suspended for a while, so you might as well go back to the city and rest for a while." β
"Don't bother, don't bother." Master Zhou Zhuo waved his hand and smiled: "Exploring all kinds of ancient secrets is one of my great hobbies, if I can, I hope that His Majesty can let me stay here for a little longer, maybe there will be new discoveries." β
Murong Feng thought about it for a while, then nodded in agreement: "It's okay, if the master has any needs, just ask." β
Zhou Zhuo chuckled and said: "There are no other orders, just ask Your Majesty to tell me if there is less bamboo food in the three meals a day, I have a little gastrointestinal discomfort when I eat these days." β
Murong Feng hurriedly responded with a look of shame, and promised to immediately transfer a few top chefs to be responsible for Zhou Zhuo's three meals a day.
"By the way, why don't you see Chun-Li?" Murong Feng suddenly remembered that he still had a little apprentice.
Zhou Zhuo said with a smile: "With that girl's active temperament, how can she accompany me, an old man, to do research here, I didn't hear that I met a group of little sisters in the city, and I mixed with them every day." β
"Little sister?" Murong Feng immediately had a bad premonition.
"Master Zhou Zhuo, Master Zhou Zhuo, it's a big deal!" Suddenly, there was a shout outside the door, and then I saw a panda little Lori jumping in.
Zhou Zhuo immediately criticized with a straight face: "How many times have you been warned about this girl?" This is not Pandaria, you can't shout! β
Lili stuck out her tongue, and when she saw Murong Feng, she immediately stepped forward to say hello: "Master Moon Shadow, you are also here, great, you hurry up and save my uncle, right?" β
"Your uncle? Lao Chen? Murong Feng said in surprise.
Zhou Zhuo explained: "Lao Chen came with me, and I saw that the guards here were very thorough, so I asked him to take Lili to the city to play. Lili, what happened to Lao Chen? β
Lili said with a bitter face: "Uncle Chen was drinking with people in the city, but he drank too much and smashed people's shops. β
"This ......" Zhou Zhuo said with a black line on his face: "Lao Chen has always had good wine, and with his alcohol consumption, how can he be drunk?" Is there another reason for this? β
Lili scratched her head and said, "I don't know, I heard Uncle Chen say a few days ago that he met a short black man who drank super well here, and Uncle Chen fought with him three times in a row and won narrowly." Today they made an appointment to fight again, but the short black man had brought the wine. β
Zhou Zhuo was extremely embarrassed for a while, and looked at Murong Feng: "Your Majesty, look at this matter, it has caused you trouble." β
"It's just a small thing." Murong Feng shook his head and chuckled and said, "It just so happens that I may not have seen this Master Chen for a long time, let's go, let me see who has the ability to get drunk with Lao Chen." β
When the three of them got on the spaceship, Zeratul asked curiously, "What is this wine?" β
Murong Feng explained with a smile: "Wine is a special liquid brewed by fermenting plants and fruits, and drinking too much will affect the nervous system of living beings and produce a psychedelic feeling. β
"It's incomprehensible that such a poison dares to be ingested into the body!" Zeratul obviously couldn't understand what was so good about wine, after all, the star spirit didn't even have the organ of the mouth.
"Who is he?" Lili leaned over to Murong Feng and asked curiously, while constantly looking at Zeratul.
Murong Feng smiled and introduced, "This Star Spirit Clan's Dark Templar Warrior, Zeratu, you can call him Uncle Ze. β
"Star Spirit Clan?" Although Lili had seen many aliens in the Golden City, it was obviously the first time that the Star Spirit Clan had seen them. Of course, the main thing is that Zeratul looks dejected in a tattered cloak, who would have thought that he was a powerful Dark Templar.
The spaceship quickly flew back to the Golden City, and then Murong Feng came to the hotel that was very familiar with Lili under the lead of Lili.
"This store again?" Murong Feng pulled the corners of his mouth, and was dragged into the store by Lili.
I saw that the store was in a mess, and several demon guards were surrounding the two guys who were tied up with flowers. Needless to say, it must be the two who are drunk and crazy.
"Uncle Chen!" Lili immediately rushed forward, but the demon guard grabbed it and said viciously, "Did the little girl let you bring the ransom?" β
"You let go of me!" Lili waved her small fists, but her arms were too short to hit the demon guards, making everyone laugh.
"Put her down." Murong Feng calmly stepped forward and lifted his hood.
The demon guards instantly weakened their legs, and they fell to their knees: "See His Majesty the Moon Shadow Great Demon King!" β
"How many things did the two of them break?" Murong Feng stepped forward to help Lili up and asked.
"No, no, no, no." The demon guard kowtowed again and again, "Your Majesty, these two didn't break anything, these tables, chairs and benches were all broken by themselves. β
The other demon guards immediately chimed in.
"And what are you tying them up for?" Murong Feng snorted coldly.
The demon guard instantly broke out in a cold sweat and said, "This...... The villain was afraid that the two masters would hurt themselves by going crazy, so they had to tie them up. β
"Okay, you can keep this kind of nonsense and tell others." Murong Feng casually took out a bag of gold coins and threw it in front of him, and ordered, "Go and release the people." β
"Yes, yes, the villain will let him go." The demon guards immediately crawled to unlock the locks of Lao Chen and the black iron dwarf.
As a result, the two of them hadn't sobered up yet, and as soon as they loosened their ties, they shouted: "Take, bring the wine!" I haven't drunk it yet! β
Murong Feng frowned and asked, "What kind of wine did the two of them drink?" How do you get drunk like this? β
The demon guard immediately replied, "Back to the crown, it was the two of them who each brought the spirits, and then mixed them together and drank them. Lo and behold, there is still half a barrel left here. β
Murong Feng walked over and lifted the lid of the wine, almost choking on the skyrocketing wine: "This is wine, it's obviously alcohol, right?" β
