Chapter 20: Infiltrating the Battle
As the times changed, the former aristocracy declined and disappeared, and the new nobles who were engaged in business not only succeeded, but many of them were favored by magic.
Aldrich's family is one of those lucky ones.
However, it should be said that luck or misfortune, Aldrich's family has only been prosperous for less than a hundred years, the aura begins to fail, the mages gradually lose their power, and the wizards who were originally full of fire and rain with a wave of their hands gradually became able to rely on the remaining magic in their blood to light cigarettes.
I'm afraid that only the parties concerned know about the gap, but if you want to describe it in a slightly lighter way, it is that the network suddenly changes back to 2G, the broadband speed is reduced from gigabit to single digits, and the steak and red wine every day are told that they can only live with pickles and steamed buns in the future.
Many families who had become overly dependent on magic perished in this storm, but Aldrich's family miraculously survived, because the veins he possessed, for some reason, could continue to produce high-quality gems, and ordinary ores would hardly run out.
This allowed the family to stand tall for thousands of years, and at the same time accumulated a lot of wealth, not to mention other cities, and now the city of Oldland, where Aldrich's family is located, is controlled by the Aldridge family in any aspect of operation and circulation.
This is also the reason why we have limited mobility, if Aldrich's house is directly hit, the economy of the whole city will collapse, and they may even drag the whole city into the water together, I still remember the scene of the paralysis of the whole city of Kuimu, I believe you too, none of us have the ability to take responsibility for this.
Therefore, our goal is to solve the problem before the other party knows it, and to do this, I will distract them, and the showdown at the beginning is not only a bad outcome, but the only way to make a family who controls the city not notice our little trick is to make them feel that we have given up on this trick.
I will be in charge of the handling on this side, and I will trouble you on the side of the vein, maybe you will encounter some dilemmas, but even if you are separated for a few years, I believe that you are still one of us, and I believe that you can make the right judgment.
1. Rescue the black workers.
2. Kill the Crystallized Turtle.
There are only two things to do, there is still a week before the start of the living festival, before the start of the living festival, the turtle will not wake up, I will keep in touch with you, and I wish you good luck.
βBlack Sabbath (Lee Ji-ming)\/Information from 10 minutes ago (read)\/December 23rd.
"At first glance, it doesn't seem like there's much to do, but in fact, it's completely confusing what to do, I've been an ordinary teacher for so long, and suddenly let me do the work of an agent, who can stand it."
Ji Liangying sighed in his heart, and then asked, "Forbearance, why do you store your consciousness in my body and still play with your mobile phone?" β
Ji Liangying hid in a group of miners, not to mention looking at his mobile phone, he even spoke only through the soul shadow, and the only person he communicated with was Mizuno Shinobi, and the message sent by Li Jiming just now was actually read to him by Mizuno Shinobi.
In addition, it is very miraculous that his soul shadow tells him that he has seen the signal blocking tower on the way, but only the contact with Li Jiming and his colleagues is not hindered.
"Ah, this one, although it is a deposit, it is actually equivalent to opening up a small space in your consciousness, and I live in it for the time being...... Something like this? β
Shinobu Mizuno explained: "But I don't know very well, unlike the King of Nothingness clinging to the surface of the shadow, it is more similar to Brother Li opening up space on the reflective surface, but I can't move through it at high speed." β
"Then you can do something else?"
"Well, it's not much, such as creating projections on your retina, and bringing things into this small space, although it's small, but the TV computer bathroom is still very complete."
"Bathroom? Hey, wait, count me begging you, don't-"
"What do you want!" Mizuno Shinobu realized that Ji Liangying thought of something very rude, "In the state of ability activation, I am a pure energy body that does not need to eat, and the furnishings in the room are just formulated according to my bedroom, and if you think about it, I will use a hammer to smash the wall and let you experience a concussion!" β
Thinking of Shinobu Mizuno holding a hammer and shouting in his head, "Eighty! Eighty! The picture of smashing the wall, Ji Liangying suddenly shuddered and confessed on the spot.
"Don't, Miss, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I apologize! When the mission is over, please go to the mall, and you can swipe my card as you like! β
"It's pretty much the same, hmph, for the sake of your sincerity, accompany me to play and keep it, keep your card for yourself, forgive you this time."
After the frolic between the two ended, the transport car just stopped, Ji Liangying raised his vigilance again, and with a clang, the cargo box lock was opened, and the light once again passed through the gradually larger gap, illuminating the environment in the carriage.
"One, two...... Sixteen, this time there are a little more people than last time, B21 batch of sixteen people, record it, go and assign them dormitories and tools! β
As soon as the cargo door opened, a tall middle-aged man finished counting the number of people, and Ji Liangying saw his exposed bronze muscle blocks, feeling that his thighs might not be as thick as the other party's small arms.
Listening to his tone, Ji Liangying thought that he might be the person in charge of this mine.
"Mr. Goodman, if there is nothing else, I'll take care of the file docking first, and I'll leave the steps of identity verification until five hours later." Floating beside Goodman was an emaciated man, his feet not bottoming out, and hanging down naturally.
Seeing him like this, many workers beside Ji Liangying were startled, and some even couldn't help but make a sound.
Of course, in Ji Liangying's opinion, this is just an idiot, he looks cool like this, but after a while, the muscles of his legs should start to atrophy, and he bets that if this man doesn't use magic, he may not even be able to walk steadily.
"Don't panic, there are some people in this world who have extraordinary strength and are even better, and your employer happens to be such a person, as long as you work hard for them, not only will you be paid well, but you will even have the opportunity to be endowed with this extraordinary power."
Goodman's words quieted the workers, and his promise made some people excited, and then under his instructions, the workers left the crates one by one, and Ji Liangying blended into the team.
As he passed by Goodman's side, a hint of surprise flashed in Goodman's eyes.
"Can such a young doll be a worker? The agent won't hide the salary, and when you see that number, there should be a lot of workers who want to come. Goodman turned to ask the man with the folder next to him.
"No, we have a strict set of medical procedures, and if we don't meet the requirements, we won't be brought over, he may be an awakened human who has just appeared recently."
After the man finished speaking, he explained: "For some reasons, people who live near famous mountains and monuments may have better physical fitness than their peers, which has nothing to do with muscle density and body fat percentage, but except for slightly better physical fitness, there is no other difference. β
"Oh? Is it? Goodman stretched out a hand and said, "Boy, put your hand over and let's compete, if you can hold on for a minute, you will be the leader of your group." β
"Hmm......" Ji Liangying was a little panicked, his dusty hand was shaken together with the other party's hand, and from the wide palm, he felt the thick calluses.
At this moment, he realized that something was wrong, he was a teacher, and it was impossible for him to have calluses on his hands, and the other party noticed this, and he would definitely start investigating his identity.
