065 Centuries-old house...... How much land tax was evaded?
After two portals jumping, Luthor and Oscar followed Hao Ren to his house, what to say...... It's too ordinary, ordinary is completely inconsistent with Hao Ren's identity, at least Luthor doesn't think that an ordinary third-floor bungalow that exists in the technology world is in line with the identity of a pope, but it is more like a rented house built by someone else.
"I said Hao Ren......" Luthor asked with a strange expression, "as a pope, you live in such a ...... A modest place? Luthor wanted to say simple, but in the end he used the word euphemistic simplicity.
"I knew you'd ask, but the Pope and the Inquisitor are both part-time jobs, and my main job is actually a landlord." Hao Ren grinned and scratched the back of his head, and said, "I've been a landlord for hundreds of years, and I've lived in this house for hundreds of years, and now if you want me to move, I'm not used to it." β
ββ¦β¦ Lived in it for hundreds of years......" Luthor was so frightened, he couldn't imagine what it was like to live in a house for hundreds of years, "Is this house so durable?" And if a house has not been renovated for hundreds of years, it should have been out of touch with the outside world for a long time, right? β
"Of course the house is not that durable, I have renovated it several times, as for the ......outside world, Hao Ren said helplessly: "I put a mental interference device here, others will subconsciously ignore it, and there is no connection or something, this planet has experienced several natural and man-made disasters in the past, and the entire civilization has regressed for more than two hundred years, and it has just recovered to the level before I became a censor some time ago......"
"What kind of natural and man-made disasters are so good, directly setting back civilization for so many years, don't you go out to help?" Luther suddenly became a little interested.
"Human beings themselves died and studied a meteorite, and as a result, half of the people who died in the world were infected with alien viruses, and I don't know what the situation was, and these people who died 5CD are scientists and elites from all walks of life, and the remaining half are children under the age of 12, and there are no newborns born in the next 40 years, and after the birth of newborns, those knowledgeable people have almost died, and civilization has a lot of generations, although knowledge is placed there, but it takes time to understand, The rest of the people are not enough to teach all newborns to read and write......" Hao Ren spread his hands and said: "As for interfering to save people, although I want to, but they have not suffered the disaster of extinction, and I can't interfere in the normal development of a civilization without this level." β
"There have been no newborns for 40 years, and all the people under the age of 12 have died, which means that the youngest person at that time was also 53 years old, and he was still interested in having children at such an old age, what should I say...... "The direction of Oscar's attention is very problematic, not paying attention to the regression of civilization, but caring about people's old age......
"Haha!" Hao Ren smiled and said: "It stands to reason that women will lose their fertility after the age of 53, but at that time, my boss made a trick to make that generation have fertility until death, so as not to be extinct because they are too old to have children." That's too aggrieved, and it's probably the most aggrieved of all the extinction methods. β
"Your boss is worthy of a nervous disorder, let an old woman in her seventies and eighties come to her aunt every month, and I don't want to think about whether people can withstand the devastation of the monthly bleeding buff when they are so old." Luthor thought for a moment and came to this conclusion, this thing was too immoral.
"Actually, that's what I thought." Hao Ren didn't care whether Luthor was scolding his boss or not, but agreed very much, and opened the door and said, "Come in, what are you talking like you've been standing in the yard." β
Entering Hao Ren's house, Luthor felt more ordinary, exactly like the configuration in his brother's house, and there were no highlights at all, the only highlights were probably the folding table in front of the sofa and the circle of non-humans sitting in the kitchen, right?
A girl with a pair of triangular ears on her head and a white tail swaying wildly behind her: a girl with a snake tail and no clothes: a mermaid with a fish tail: a half-sized loli with two horns on her head: a Wu Ke who is more than two meters tall, whose muscles hold his clothes to the point of breaking, and has a face that can be detained for fifteen days just by looking at it.
Everyone in this circle looked human, and of course, although Wu Ke looked very human, he could be removed from the human race just by his face.
If you take a closer look at the normal human beings in this house, there are only Hao Ren and a pale-faced girl who is serving food, but since there are so many non-humans here, he has reason to suspect that that girl is not a human either, and a human cannot appear in such a place!
"Coming back?" The pale-faced girl put down two pairs of chopsticks in front of the two empty seats, and said with a smile: "Come and eat, I'll wait for you." β
"Sorry for the wait." Hao Ren made a gesture of invitation for Luthor and Oscar to take their seats, and sat down on the main seat, where he still had a few bites of food.
Oscar's eyes wandered over everything in the house that he hadn't seen before, and his heart was full of curiosity, which Hao Ren didn't see when he invited him to take a seat, until Luther punched him to get his attention back.
"Put your helmet and weapon at the door, and let's eat." Luthor pointed to the door.
Oscar obediently leaned his axe and shield against the door, and did not forget to take off his helmet and put it on the shoe rack, which he thought was specially used for other miscellaneous items, but only a few pairs of shoes were placed on it at the moment.
Sitting in the reserved position, Luthor found that everyone was looking at the two of them, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "What, why are they all looking at me?" β
"Did you come to my house to rent a house?" The mermaid asked curiously while munching on a wooden plank with wide eyes.
"Uh...... No, I'm just here to eat, and I'll leave after eating. Luthor shook his head and said with chopsticks.
"Okay, Luthor is my boss, but he hasn't been to Shadow City halfway through the house, and I'll take him to Shadow City to report after dinner, don't think that everyone who comes to the house is here to rent a house." Hao Ren couldn't help but knock the mermaid's head with chopsticks, and when the chopsticks came back, there was already a piece missingβshe ate it.
Obviously, this is not the first time this has happened, Hao Ren calmly changed a pair of chopsticks and said, "I'm sorry, there was something wrong with my daughter's education when she was a child, don't look at it when you eat." β
In fact, even if he doesn't say that everyone else has already started eating, the only people who haven't started eating now are Hao Ren, Luthor and Oscar, Hao Ren is speaking as the head of the family, and Luthor is a little reluctant to come to someone's house to eat, and Oscar...... He doesn't know how to use chopsticks, and he still holds one chopstick in one hand and thinks about why he uses two small wooden sticks for eating, and why other people use them so smoothly.
PS: I have a fever and feel uncomfortable, and there is only one shift today
