Chapter 46: Expecting Light in the Dark
I don't know what means were used, but Fimina found it!
"What is Qingqing, me, me?" Xiu Xiu touched the clan and asked blankly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"That's it...... Look at the stars together like we do. Liang Kai paused. It's not just embarrassing.
"Femina, Xiu Xiu and Pol are not looking at the stars." Xiu Xiu corrected seriously. Then he looked up at the sky and said, "Oh, there are stars." ”
It's rare to have stars in this world.
Of course, it doesn't refer to the parent star the size of a wheel, or the parent star the size of a fist, or other close moons of Jupiter, but to the starry sky.
There is the sun during the day, Jupiter and its rings at night, and the reflection efficiency is at least tens or hundreds of times or more than that of the full moon, and the stars are not visible at all. During the dark period, the sun is obscured by Jupiter, and due to the angle, Jupiter cannot refract much light, so there is a scene in front of him.
Not only the stars, but also the places where Jupiter's rings are defective, there are also some fragments with special transparent materials, which lie across the sky and occasionally glow.
But that's not the point.
Do you hear that? Your song "In Another Country" has been heard, right? Sure enough, sure enough, the gentleman is cautious, and he can't let his guard down at any time! Liang was happy and annoyed.
Fimina glanced at Liang Kai, not surprised by his nervousness.
Whether it is the discovery of his personal relationship with Xiuxiu, or the exposure of his identity in black and white, it is enough for him to be nervous.
Pouted: "That song just now was weird and good." Speaking of which, you bohemians are also quite famous for singing, why haven't you ever performed before? ”
Bohemians!
By the way, I am a Bohemiaian, a minority in the world that has no fixed place to live, and whose language, writing, culture and art are very unique......
Long live Bohemia! Liang Kaichang breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, before he could catch his breath, Fimina's next sentence made his heart rise to his throat again: "Don't say what you should say, don't say what you shouldn't, I mean, you know?" ”
This is clearly talking about the Black and White Society. Pretending to be dizzy can avoid it for a while, but it can't be avoided for a lifetime.
"Understood! I understand! Liang Kai nodded again and again.
"That's for the best." The corners of Fimina's mouth curled slightly, "Also, come find me after the performance." You too. "Finger Whistle.
"Oh." Xiu Xiu nodded blankly and wagged his tail, "What are you talking about?" ”
Liang Kai himself doesn't know what to say, but he knows one thing: it must not be a good thing to be found by a spy organization like the Black and White Society......
==========
The sun is completely submerged in Jupiter's rings!
The huge aura should never be airtight, and there must be a lot of gaps.
However, perhaps the aura contains strange powers, or perhaps the laws of this world are different......
The blue sun was completely obscured, leaving only a few concentric circles of light at the edge of the ring, and in the gap between the giant Jupiter and the ring, which continued to provide light to the world.
It was like a huge eye, outlined by bright lines, staring at the world below.
The aurora vision faded away, and the whole world fell into chaos.
Only the occasional burst of flash and explosive thunder remind life on the planet that there are unknown forces stirring and brewing.
Liang Kai and Xiu Xiu were called down by Femina and began to prepare for the evening performance at the same time.
The residents of the mountain city also began to be busy.
Some people carried flower pots, some people carried wooden barrels, and some people carried huge vats with plants, and walked up to the city wall one after another, the wooden barrels were rested, and the huge vats of flower pots were placed in the grooves left by the city wall.
The things in the basin and the barrel are not the same, and the general function is the same.
For example, a plant in a giant vat that requires the joint efforts of several people at the highest is called a sunflower.
This flower is common in the light period, and it is not unusual, once it enters the dark period, it will quickly bloom and bear seeds.
Its flowers bloom like torches, as if all the sunlight absorbed during the bright period has been released! It can illuminate a large section of the city wall, and even has the same burning power as the sun.
However, the outer circle of the mountain city has already been planted, and the siege of the city is layered on top of each other. At this moment, the flower bones had already emerged, and a faint glow began to bloom, illuminating an area of hundreds of meters or even larger around the city.
The role of these in the city is not to illuminate, but to sow seeds.
This is an excellent variety carefully cultivated by the botanists of the Star Tower, and the brightness and sunlight contained in it are superior.
At the head of the castle, once the flowers have fallen into a small bag full of moist soil and fertilizer, they are quickly packed into a small bag filled with moist soil and fertilizer, and planted in the sunflower forest on the outskirts at night.
In addition to sunflowers, there are also exorcist grasses.
It's an inconspicuous one that seems to be full of grass and has tiny flowers that can be trampled on if you don't notice it.
Although the grass flower is small, it can emit a very strong fragrance, which is also called vanilla. This kind of grass smells the fragrance of ordinary humans, and it is said that many demons will be nauseated, dizzy and want to vomit when they smell it. Although it is not lethal, it can also greatly weaken their combat effectiveness, hence the name.
They are planted along the ring of the city walls and in the sunflower forest below.
But it is not for the sake of sowing seeds.
Rather, the inhabitants have collected the herb in large quantities and mashed it into a paste for the soldiers who stood on the walls.
In addition, there is a special fermentation of grease sprinkled on the city walls to prevent them from climbing; Scattered in the jungle, it can entangle its legs and feet like snakes and insects to prevent it from passing through the vines......
All kinds of means, all in one go!
[Tut-tut, it's really an eye-opener!] 】
[The other world is really a different world, it looks very similar at first glance, but if you look closely, it's completely different. 】
Little Nerd: [How is it different?] Don't worship the foreign! The sunflower is nothing more than a large firefly, a glowing jellyfish or something; Exorcism vanilla and pyrethroid are distinctly one category; There are vines over there that can entangle people, and do we also have pitcher plants that can catch insects? 】
frozing: [it!] Let this guy compare, why do you suddenly feel that you have nothing to love......]
Xu Pengyuan: [Me too. 】
Mrs. Song: [This can also be related to Chongyang's flattery...... It's up! 】
Of course, preparations for the dark period are not limited to the city walls.
Inside the mountain city, in the bazaar, in the square, outside the council hall, in the star tower...... On an important gathering occasion, either carved by the source crystal, or by constant magic, a huge variety of magic lamps that looked like works of art were lit up one after another.
The brightness is not much better than all kinds of high-pressure sodium lamps and xenon headlamps on the earth, and even surpasses it.
On both sides of the street, where magic lamps could not be illuminated, special torches were lit, glowing plants were carried out, and lights were lit.
The starry sky festival is to create light and dispel darkness, which is the main theme.
However, the darkness of reality is easy to dispel, and the darkness in the heart cannot be solved by lighting a lamp, lighting a fire, and blooming a flower.
So when the lights came on, when all the preparations were made, people went home, changed into their best clothes, combed their most handsome hair, and took to the streets with baskets full of food in one hand and benches and matzas in the other.
Some people hold musical instruments, playing while walking, and natural crowds gather on the side, singing and dancing;
Some people perform the most superficial magic, which is not called magic but tricks, which are basically chaotic clouds of light and shadow, as if no one can understand abstract paintings, and will also attract applause;
During the march, the occasional well-armored soldier and adventurer crossed their horses and whipped through the city.
It was the tower's mages who had detected fluctuations in the spatial folding point, and it was up to the cavalry and adventurers to check it.
However, the enthusiastic crowd was coated from head to toe with the scent of exorcism grass, the waist bag was stuffed with food, the armor was painted with blessing charms and words, and the faces of some handsome men were printed with the lip prints of girls and aunts.
The procession passed through the alleys, gradually converged, like a hundred rivers converging the sea, and finally concentrated on several main streets of the mountain city, the crowd became more and more, the ranks became denser and denser, the singing and laughter became louder and louder, and the atmosphere became higher and higher......
Before you know it, Jupiter and the sun are setting, and the world is plunged into true darkness.
Liang Kai's magic show also began......
