Chapter 355: No Response
When Morningstar and Leo met again, it was already early the next morning.
Morningstar broke free from the entanglement of the pink legs and jade arms, relying on great perseverance to leave the warm bed, and when he finished cleaning up and came to the office, Leo and the black tiger were already waiting there. The day before, after the three of them discussed how to deal with Leo's wife, Leo and Black Tiger wanted to report the results of their expedition directly to Morningstar, but Morningstar chased them both away. The reason is that Leo still has a tough battle to fight at night, and the artifact has already been brought to Itgleeson anyway, and Morningstar is not in a hurry to check his loot.
Today's Leo was full of red light, even though his skin was already dark and shiny, but the full spirit seemed to be overflowing as if it was about to break through the skin.
"Leo, seeing that you old boy is in such good spirits, could it be that you slept with him last night?" The black tiger is still in the posture of a single person, and he didn't have a door on his mouth, so he shouted out like this with a loud voice. Morning Star could faintly hear the smile of Xie Shiqi's little secretary outside the door.
If it was in the past, Black Tiger was joking like this, Leo was afraid that he would have to refute a few words, but this time he may have really been said by Black Tiger, so he would not have the slightest displeasure with Black Tiger's ridicule.
"Where is it so exaggerated as you say!" Leo scratched his head, his face was full of shyness, like a little man who was new to life, and explained shyly: "But my wife really doesn't care that I found two more." Although she was a little angry at first, she forgave me after listening to me explain. After all, my needs are really too strong, and I am always walking outside, and I am afraid that sooner or later I will make mistakes. It's better to talk about it now. ”
"You're a bitch and set up a torii for yourself, Leo, all the good things are for you to take advantage of, no wonder you don't quarrel with me today!" The black tiger stretched out his rudimentary prosthetic leg and slapped Leo on the shoulder, causing Leo to jump out of the way.
Morningstar looked at the two men from the sidelines, and it seemed that this journey had made them close comrades-in-arms, and there was no longer any suspicion between them. Morningstar originally sent Leo and his party to set off with Black Tiger, the main purpose was also to supervise Black Tiger and prevent this guy from doing anything to damage It Gleeson's interests, but now it seems that he was really worried at that time, Black Tiger's personality is still worthy of recognition, but Morningstar seems to have a small belly and chicken intestines.
"Okay, now that Brother Leo has taken care of the backyard, let's not continue to discuss this issue, in case it is known that in this office of the Itgleason Power Center, the issue under discussion is so unserious, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth." Morningstar intervened at the right time to interrupt the conversation between Black Tiger and Leo, and continued: "Master Tiger, did you go to Anda to check on this hand, even if it can't be regenerated, let her give you a better prosthetic, what is this thing you are bringing now?" Picking up rags? ”
"Lord Morningstar, don't you make fun of me, call me lord in front of you? I don't want to die early, you might as well call me Black Tiger. While speaking, he looked at the prosthetic leg on his arm, and the black tiger continued: "I went last night, and Lord Anda said that he could customize one for me, and he also said that he would go with the bug boss, what is it called?" ”
"Abasser!" Morningstar reminded.
"Yes, yes, Boss Abasser, I said that he should think of a way to get my hand back as much as possible." The black tiger continued to look at his arm, and said with some annoyance: "Speaking of which, it's also my fault, after the arm was cut off by that damn bug, why didn't I think about getting it back." ”
Morning Star patted the black tiger on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Come on, what can I do if I get it back, even if the severed limb can be preserved, your arm will have to heal, and it will not be easy to deal with when the time comes." Now that this is the case, don't regret it, I'll talk to Abbather later, there should be a way. With that, Morningstar returned to his desk, motioned for Leo and Black Tiger to sit down, sat down on his chair himself, crossed his hands under his chin, and said, "Let's talk about business, what are the attributes of the artifact you brought back this time?" ”
Morning Star didn't expect that a casual question he said would make Black Tiger and Leo hesitate for a long time and didn't know how to answer. The performance of these two made Morningstar a little puzzled, and continued to ask, "What's wrong?" Why don't you answer me? ”
"That...... Lord Morningstar, we really don't know how to answer your question. Leo said.
"Oh?" Morning Star became interested, stood up and said, "I just asked you about the attributes of the artifact, how could I not know how to answer?" ”
Black Tiger took a small black box from his backpack, stepped forward and put it in front of Morning Star's desk, and said, "Well, Lord Morning Star, look for yourself, we really don't know what the attributes of this thing are." As he spoke, the black tiger opened the box. Morning Star took a closer look and found that this stone was really difficult to judge the attributes. It was not like the artifact in Catherine's hand, exuding an obvious cold aura, nor was it like the piece in Norin Hill's hand that had obvious mental fluctuations, even compared to the artifact that Morningstar had from the Golden Farm that he still didn't know how to use, the stone in front of him seemed too ordinary, and that feeling, as if this artifact was just a stone, an ordinary stone.
Morningstar pinched his chin and frowned, the expression on his face was extremely strange, and from time to time he reached out to touch the stone, or looked down to look closely, but he didn't find anything like an artifact at all.
"That, Tiger Master, Brother Leo, are you sure this is an artifact?" Although he knew that it hurt to ask such a question, Morningstar couldn't help but say it. No matter how you look at it, this stone doesn't have the slightest appearance as an artifact, but Morning Star knows that Black Tiger and Leo can't just find an ordinary stone to fool themselves and bring this stone back, there must be a reason.
Leo stepped forward, reached out and touched the stone, and said, "Lord Morningstar, this thing is indeed something we brought back from a temple. We've documented the process of obtaining this artifact, so you can take a look at it. And when the stone was removed from the altar, something strange happened, so we brought it back with skepticism. But seriously, if you ask us to determine the properties of this artifact, we really can't answer. ”
Morningstar waved his hand and said, "I don't mean to disbelieve you, I know very well that you won't fool me with ordinary stones, it's just that I've never seen such an inconspicuous artifact. ”
Black Tiger suddenly spoke from behind Leo, "When we first acquired this stone in the temple, it felt as if the space around us was distorted, and there were always some things that seemed discordant. I remember very well that the altar under this artifact seemed to be much smaller after the artifact was removed, and I don't know if it was my delusion. I told Leo about it later, but he didn't notice it. ”
"Huh?" Black Tiger's words made Morning Star interested, looked at Leo, and asked, "You didn't feel what Black Tiger said?" ”
Leo shook his head and replied, "I also had a fight with the Black Tiger over this, but I didn't argue about it. Later, I asked all the warriors who entered the temple, and some of them sided with the Black Tiger, and some of them, like me, were completely unaware of the anomaly. ”
"It's kind of interesting!" Morningstar sat back in his chair, put his foot on the table, lay down with a big grin, and said, "Does this stone still recognize people?" Can the people it chooses see the difference? ”
The black tiger knocked on the stone with disdain, and said, "I don't think so, if it is really according to what you said, shouldn't this broken stone look up at me?" But now, this guy is like an ordinary stone in my eyes, nothing special at all. ”
Morningstar fell silent, feeling a little depressed by the stone in front of him for not reacting to him compared to his previous sense of the artifact. At this moment, Xie Shiqi's coquettish voice came from outside the door.
"How many times have you told you with your feet on my desk again, it's annoying."
Xie Shiqi did say Morning Star many times because of this incident, but Morning Star has never changed, or rather, he has become accustomed to Xie Shiqi's little nagging like a wife. However, the moment Black Tiger and Leo turned around, they stayed where they were.
Xie Shiqi in women's clothing, Black Tiger and Leo have never seen each other. Before they were sent out, Morningstar hadn't discovered the secret that Xie Shiqi was a woman disguised as a man, so in the eyes of Black Tiger and Leo, Xie Shiqi was a man who was a little too beautiful to talk about. But this woman in front of you? The tone of her voice, her figure, and her face were clearly the classmate of the original Morning Star, the so-called "man".
"This, this is?" The black tiger stammered.
Morning Star then remembered that Black Tiger and Leo should not have seen Xie Shiqi who had recovered their daughter's body, so he stood up, walked to Xie Shiqi's side, kissed her on the mouth despite Xie Shiqi's objection, and then put his arm around Xie Shiqi's shoulders and said proudly: "Let me introduce you again, this strong woman is Xie Shiqi!" My classmate, now my love! How's it going, isn't it beautiful and capable? ”
Black Tiger and Leo have only one thought in their hearts at the moment, and that is to complain about Morning Star, how slow are you, your classmates didn't even find out that the closest classmate around them was a woman?
Xie Shiqi blushed with shame, punched Morning Star in the chest, then shook off Morning Star's hand on her shoulder, walked to the artifact and looked at it for a long time, and then said to the secretary outside the door: "Inform Anshidar and Dedalus to come to me, I think, they should have more say in this matter." Also, send someone to fetch Teacher Tula, we need him! ”
