When the group was eating at the hotel, Cheng Shi learned from chatting with Carl that Carl was not angry and ran away from home, and he also knew that he couldn't go far without a passport and visa, he really just went out to relax, and chose to jump out of the window, just didn't want to disturb everyone in the middle of the night.

But when he just walked to the side of the highway, he suddenly sensed the breath of the same clan, so he chased all the way, and later after boarding the clan's truck, he showed his blood clan middle-level cadre badge to the other party, and the other party told him that the earth alien race had a big operation, in order to learn more about the situation, he followed the truck to the nameless island.

After listening to Carl tell his experience, Cheng Shi not only blamed him, but also praised him for his courage and resourcefulness, and Barbara also cast a pleased look at him, but at the same time told him that if there is an important situation in the future, he must discuss it with everyone first and try not to act alone.

Although Carl still doesn't know who the small team led by Cheng Shi is working for, after the experience of the past few days, he can at least be sure that Cheng Shi is doing righteous things with everyone, and he has become convinced of the sisterhood between Barbara and Kayla.

After resting in the hotel room for more than three hours, Cheng Shi got up and went downstairs.

"Do you want to go out so late?" After the innkeeper saw Cheng Shi, he waved his hand and said.

Cheng Shi couldn't help but smile when he saw that it was still daytime outside: "I'm not used to living without night for a while, and I can't sleep if I stay in the house, so it's better to go out for a walk." ”

"The security here is not very good now, there are few people outside at this time, you should pay more attention to safety." The innkeeper said with a smile.

After Cheng Shi waved his hand to thank him, he walked out of the hotel.

As the innkeeper said, there are really no people outside now, and the air around is much cooler. Cheng Shi carried the car model in his pocket, and after a while, he came to a crystal pillar closest to the town.

"Xiaoqiao, can you scan the crystal pillar here to see if there are any changes?" Cheng Shi said while looking at the crystal pillar in front of him.

Hearing the sound, the model car automatically slipped out of Cheng Shi's pocket, and then projected a fan-shaped blue light at the crystal pillar.

After a few moments, the information bridge reported: "Master, there are two noticeable changes in the luminous crystal pillar, one is that it has stopped releasing those magic rays of unknown purpose, but the filtering of sunlight is still the same as before; Second, it now has a second energy supply, for example, the light it emits now comes from the second energy source. ”

Regarding the unknown rays released by the crystal pillar, it has always been a mystery in Cheng Shi's heart, it is said that the crystal pillar should not only fully filter the harmful rays of the sun, but also actively release harmful magic rays.

However, the truth of seemingly irrational phenomena usually has the most reasonable explanation.

"Xiaoqiao, the harmful magic energy ray released before the crystal pillar, could it have something to do with the disappearance of the magic instinct of the locals?" Cheng Shi asked guessingly.

"This car has thought the same thing, but there is no direct evidence, but maybe we will find a lot of new discoveries when we get to Crystal City."

"No, there are already some anomalies, the innkeeper said that many people can cast spells now, which shows that the magic instinct of the locals is recovering, but the time is shorter, everyone's magic talent is different, and the speed of recovery is naturally different." Cheng Shi thought about it and said.

"Yes, very logical reasoning, but there is still a lack of direct evidence, it is recommended that the master find Tony and the three of them first, understand some of the current situation, and then make the next step."

Cheng Shi nodded, and walked back with the model in his pocket, just after he walked for a while, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, so he turned to look for the sound, and saw Tony and Bruce riding horses galloping.

"Tony!" Cheng Shi tiptoed and waved at Tony and the others, "Bruce, hello! ”

After the two of them saw Cheng Shi, they were also overjoyed, so they urgently asked the horse to stop.

"Since you went to the small town of Holm, we found that you have not returned, and Bruce and I have gone to the Mare Iron Shop there to look for you, and after learning that you went to the cave in Charleston, we have no choice but to pray that you can come back safely." Tony dismounted and came to Cheng Shi's side and said sincerely.

Cheng Shi waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, we're all fine, it's just that we went back to our hometown and delayed a little time." I heard that you don't mine crystal now, so what are you doing? ”

Tony smiled, and casually summoned a small fireball on his palm: "Look, this is magic, many of our people here now will do this, and they will do this without going berserk, don't you say strange?" ”

Cheng Shi looked shocked, no matter how he looked at the people here, they looked like elves, and from the information they had so far, it could basically be judged that the people here were the descendants of the elves in the shelter of Parro Planet, but the fireball technique was obviously a mage's skill, and it was said that the elves should not be able to summon fireballs.

"You used to only do magic when you were furious?" Cheng Shi asked puzzled.

Tony frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, we haven't seen civilians who can do magic before, but we heard that there are people in the church who can do magic, and we only occasionally see the transfer of some alchemy devices on the road, and we haven't seen anyone cast spells with our own eyes, so the rumors that civilians will become violent after possessing magic are also from the church, and what is going on is also up to the church." He grinned, "Now that the church has fallen, I dare to say this publicly." ”

Cheng Shi smiled and smacked his lips: "I didn't expect so many things to happen here after I left, so now you all know magic, what are you going to do?" ”

"Go to Crystal City to work, there is a shortage of magicians there now, the magic workshop produces magic tools around the clock, we have just finished the basic course of spell casting, and we will be able to make money after learning the intermediate class in a few days, they have a very high salary, and the learning is free, where do you say there is such a good thing in the world, and now people who can do magic are basically soaked in Crystal City every day." Bruce said, a very satisfied smile on his face.

The more Cheng Shi listened, the more bizarre he felt, and he even wanted to go to Crystal City immediately, but obviously he still had to wait for several people in the team to rest before leaving, after all, everyone was together, and he was relieved.

"Are you going to go home and rest now?" Cheng Shi asked again.

Bruce nodded: "In order to complete the magic course as soon as possible, we haven't slept for two nights, come back today to sleep, and tomorrow we are going to bring our family over, we have rented a house over there, and we may rarely return here in the future." ”

Cheng Shi smiled faintly: "Then you guys go back quickly, remember to call me when you leave tomorrow, I will go with you." After saying that, he looked around, wondering where there was tomorrow, isn't the sky always bright, and couldn't help but sigh.

After Tony nodded in agreement, Cheng Shi separated from the two and returned

Inn.

There is no night world, it's really a little embarrassing, you can only rely on the temperature of the air to roughly distinguish between day and night, fortunately, the information bridge has recorded the time here, although this thing is very reluctant to be used as an alarm clock, but there is no way, it is still at the request of its owner, at the time of about six o'clock in the morning on the earth to wake up Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi got up and went downstairs after washing up briefly, while Barbara downstairs was already communicating with the hotel guys about breakfast.

"Morning, daughter-in-law!" When Cheng Shi saw Barbara, he waved to her.

Barbara saw Cheng Shi's displeasure: "Why did you go yesterday?" We went out to buy things without any money, and the birdman came back to you, saying that you were not in the room, and the big one didn't know where you went. ”

Cheng Shi was slightly embarrassed, but when he saw Barbara wearing a new local dress, he asked with some confusion: "Aren't you all solved?" New clothes are on. ”

Barbara snorted: "It's good that we ran into Rorty, otherwise I would have been embarrassed to take Kayla out for the first time without any money." ”

Cheng Shi hurriedly asked the information bridge to release all the gold coins that could be used in Tikonia, and then stretched out his hand and handed it to Barbara: "Here you go, all the money will be handed over to my daughter-in-law for safekeeping." ”

After Barbara took the money, she still looked disdainful, but she frowned, and then said, "Anyway, we encountered a very strange thing yesterday at the market in the town. ”

Cheng Shi shrugged: "Let's hear it." ”

"You know what? Rorty is pregnant. Barbara said thoughtfully.

Cheng Shi immediately showed an expression of "what does this have to do with me" when he heard this: "Isn't this normal?" What's wrong? Isn't the kid Bruce's? ”

"Of course it's Bruce's, but we've only been gone for a few days, so why is her belly so big?" Barbara said with a look of incredulity, "And not only that, but the younger women in the bazaar basically have big bellies. ”

Cheng Shi was confused when he heard this, and thought to himself what kind of anecdote this was: "We don't know when Rottie got pregnant, what if she hid it better before and wasn't discovered by us?" I ran into Jason and Bruce yesterday when I went out for a walk, and they told me about the situation in Crystal City, where a lot of strange things are going on, and we're going to go over in a moment. ”

Seeing that Cheng Shi obviously didn't pay attention to the information she discovered, Barbara further said, "Don't you doubt that in the past few days we have been gone, many days may have passed here?" ”

Cheng Shi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked the information bridge to confirm the time flow rate of the small universe.

"Master, there is no abnormality in the flow of time now, this car feels that the monkey's intelligence is worth paying attention to, and there may be special circumstances in these days when the master is away." The information bridge immediately replied.

Cheng Shi pulled the hotel guy who served them breakfast: "What time is it?" ”

The hotel guy looked confused: "What? ”

Cheng Shi had an epiphany, thinking that this was an underground world, and the time was calculated according to spring and winter, with 191 days in spring and 85 days in winter, a total of 276 days in a year.

"What day is it?" Cheng Shi asked succinctly.

"Winter has just passed, and it's the 13th of spring." The hotel guy replied.

"It was the 139th of spring when the master left here, and 150 days have passed here." The information bridge didn't wait for Cheng Shi to ask it to calculate the time, so he took the initiative to report.
