Chapter 705: Autumn Harvest Celebration of the Eighth Year I
According to the calendar, the annual autumn harvest celebration of the crocodile collar is only tomorrow. In previous years, the weather that should have been cold in autumn was still as hot as midsummer.
For most people, this is completely unfocused, and although there is occasional attention and speculation, they quickly focus on all kinds of busy things.
Only Jiao Ming stared at the sun in the sky, with a complicated mood, and stood by the window without saying a word for a long time.
First of all, I am naturally worried that my future life may be affected by my own mental illness. During those days on the island, although he fought desperately to the death, he cleared the most popular memory of torture, but he only achieved an equal status with the personality of the silent person.
Not only is it very different from the expected goal of completely closing off the other party, but even the silencer has become clueless and unconfident about how to close the personality of the silent person. What else would a personality fear if he could carry that desperate situation without hope?
The second is the interest of the Crocodile Duke, a top powerhouse, in eternal life. By looking at the memories in the transparent skull in passing, it has been established that immortality exists. It's hard to say the ultimate version that spans countless magical eras and end-of-law eras, but it's not a problem to live for thousands of years. If the cultivation method given by Archbishop Mahiza is correct, it is inevitable that the life span of the crocodile duke will be greatly extended.
Then the problem arises.
In Jiao Ming's expectation, for the crocodile leader of the older generation, he only plans to win on the track of time, and then take over the baton smoothly. There was no attempt to violently overturn the Crocodile Collar. After all, including Binglian, as well as the little guys such as the Black Stone Flash Scales, are all suffocated to death, and this kind of thing is against humanity after all.
It's good now, if the crocodile duke doesn't take the initiative to hand over power, he can't force it, and he can't force it in terms of family affection. The whole plan was thrown out of order. Although Jiao Ming has admitted that he has been taken care of a lot by the Duke of Crocodile since he crossed over, this time he also had to give birth to some thoughts of 'ingratitude' and 'great rebellion'.
As for the solution to this problem, there are two for the time being. One is to hope that the crocodile duke can look down on power and retreat and cultivate without asking about the world. The other is to persuade Binglian to complete the annexation of the Xuqin kingdom as the lord of the harbor city - Sardinia City, and finally keep the crocodile territory as a dominion, and put it aside and out of sight.
There is no doubt that Jiao Ming prefers the latter.
The final anxiety is the anomaly of the weather. The great battle that caused the Holy Demon Sea to dry up, for some reason, seemed to have a huge impact on the climate of the entire planet.
Although the trajectory of the sun has become lower as usual, according to the news of the Wizards Association, the temperature not only in the crocodile collar, but also in the entire territory of the United Kingdom has no signs of entering autumn at all. And intelligence shows that the Ifusen theocracy in the same hemisphere is also constantly hot.
This abrupt global warming, while not causing sea level rise, is bound to have many effects. Not to mention the long-term, just the problem of pests and diseases in next year's crops will make people worry.
Thinking of this, Jiao Ming let out a long sigh and turned around to sit back at his desk. At the very least, this thought should be recorded first, so as not to reduce the actual food production and cause a large-scale starvation.
... It looks like next year's pesticides are a good deal...
A flat voice appeared in my head, it was none other than the madman personality. Jiao Ming tugged at the corners of his mouth, feeling all kinds of awkwardness, but there was nothing good to do. Not long ago, because of annoyance, this goods were locked up, but they were released silently by the silent personality.
... Maybe we should talk about it...
... About pesticides?...
... Of course not. It's about controlling the time of the body...
... Hehe, now that you and Stuffy Gourd are the bosses, I can only come out and wander around with nothing to do. It's miserable enough, what else do you want? Besides, I don't control my body at all, I just borrow your vision to look at the surrounding situation, and you don't let it? Everyone is your own person, don't be so picky...
Jiao Ming held his forehead with one hand, feeling extremely headache.
Luohua, who was standing on the side, immediately asked with concern, "Are you okay, do you want to rub your forehead?"
Due to the problem of heirs, Luohua has become more and more proactive in the past six months. Jiao Ming is warm and comfortable, but he also has guilt, and there is a kind of self-blame and self-pity for his degeneration into male instinct.
"I'm fine. It's just that the madman, that guy is nagging in his head again. Jiao Ming said, noticing the loss that his beautiful personal maid tried to hide, and his heart softened after all. "Well, I do need to press it, I'm sorry for you. ”
"This is the duty of a valet and there is no need to thank you. Luo Hua raised her eyebrows, walked quickly behind Jiao Ming, and half-hugged Jiao Ming's head into her arms.
"I've already told you, but I'd like to remind you one more time about this silly girl. The Silent Personality has awakened, and therefore the Madman Personality is no longer fully in control. When they control their bodies, you have to pay attention to protect yourself. ”
"I'm not a stupid girl. Luo Hua distinguished, but her tone was full of sweetness.
After enjoying a moment of silence, Jiao Ming stumbled and spoke. "It's not just about protecting yourself, it's about avoiding contact. Even though they are different personalities and have the same body, I still have a feeling of awkwardness and jealousy, huh- you know what I mean?"
"I remembered. In fact, when I was in the Red Mountain Kingdom, I had this experience. ”
Luo Hua solemnly promised, and at the same time hugged Jiao Ming's head tighter. On the whole, the effect of the slender fingers on the forehead has been limited, but the soft cushion on the back of the head makes Jiao Ming's mind more relaxed.
It wasn't until footsteps sounded outside the door that Jiao Ming came back to his senses from the gentle township, patted the back of Luohua's hand, and sat up straight. At the same time, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Jiao Ming commanded.
The door was gently pushed open, revealing two short figures, who shouted in unison, "Master!"
This is none other than the cheap twin apprentices from the Red Mountain Kingdom: Kanty and Manty, who were sent here two years ago due to the internal turmoil in the Red Mountain Kingdom. At this time, they were wearing well-fitting maid clothes, which made them even more delicate. After all, it is a side royal bloodline, with greater autonomy, and the face shape has been continuously improved, it is not a beauty embryo, but it is above the passing line after all.
"Hmm. Jiao Ming responded, revealing a fatherly smile. Since having a son, I have become more aware of the mentality of being a parent, and I am more relaxed when dealing with these teenage children, and I am no longer at a loss and subconsciously avoiding.
The two little girls immediately smiled, jumped forward, and heard Luohua's light cough reminder halfway, and then returned to their dignified demeanor. Jiao Ming secretly pinched Luohua's hand, and smiled at the two apprentices: "Don't be restrained, tell me what to do with finding a teacher?"
Since Jiao Ming has more and more jurisdictional matters, he naturally needs a team, so Luo Hua handles related matters as a 'big secretary'. After pulling up a group of people, these two little guys who have a psychological shadow on the Red Mountain Kingdom also volunteered to join in, and did not hesitate to start from the lowest clerks.
As for this maid's dress, it is just a layer of decoration that relieves trouble, making it easy to move within the old system. In the minds of some stubborn old fellows, the Gentile apprentice of the lord's son-in-law and the apprentice maid of the crocodile family are completely different identities.
"Report to the master, we found something. One of the twins said, and the other added. "But after correcting it, it didn't work, so I had to ask you. ”
"Tell me in detail. Jiao Ming got up and walked around the table, touched the heads of the two little ones, and led them to sit down on the bench.
Twin sisters, you and I began to tell the story word by word. It all started more than ten days ago, when the two sisters participated in a series of anti-school bullying activities hosted by Xiao Shi and conducted an investigation in an elementary school outside Changteng Town. I didn't have time to rush back at noon, so I had dinner with elementary school students in the cafeteria.
However, this lunch found that the school had a problem of deducting food. Of course, the two sisters couldn't ignore it, and went directly to the principal to confirm that dinner was served normally before returning to Changteng Town.
But although the two are young, they also know some things that are contrary to the yang and the yin, and they do not stop there. Five days later, he sneaked into the past and found that he had changed back to his old self, so he didn't bother to waste time with the principal, and reported it directly to the security department of Changteng Town.
After receiving the reply to the investigation, Ben was happy for three days, but five days later, he secretly observed again, and it was still the same. At this point, the two sisters scratched their heads, and after some discussion, they did not find Xiaoshi, but found Master Jiao Ming. In their considerations, it is difficult to say what the result of Xiao Shi's fuss is, but Master Jiao Ming must have a proper solution.
Feeling the reverence in the eyes of the two apprentices, Jiao Ming kept smiling, but he was a little flustered in his heart, coughed lightly, and asked confirmatively: "The elementary school on the periphery of Changteng Town also eats a big cafeteria?"
Luo Hua immediately explained: "In order to avoid bullying on campus, did you either propose to go to school on a mobile basis last year? Miss Xiaoshi took care of this matter herself, and the effect was not bad after the experiment. Those who are the weakest and the most prickly, after entering a new environment, will always settle down for a while.
But this makes it less convenient for students to go home. Miss Xiao Shi simply borrowed the model of the Changteng Town Magic Academy and launched supporting accommodation and canteen meals. I think someone was greedy in the cafeteria. ”
Jiao Ming nodded, realizing that this matter was really bad enough. From the mouth of a child to eat food, this conscience is really bad. But it's not difficult to solve it, as long as you trace it down the vine and find out the moth.
However, after thinking about it, Jiao Ming had other ideas. This may be a solution, but it has become a special case, not a long-term mechanism. Could it be that in the future, if there is any trivial matter in the entire crocodile territory or even in the wider area, it will have to rely on a limited number of people to poke the problem to themselves?
Moreover, after the twin sisters reported to the police, they only did nothing perfunctory, which is a more serious problem than deducting the students' food.
If the state is compared to the human body, the Jingcha system is undoubtedly equivalent to the immune system that excludes foreign substances, and the problem of the immune system is the big problem. For example, a well-known virus destroys the immune system to kill the host.
Secondly, the entire underground alien city alliance has a silver ring bounty. The initiator behind it is the powerful guardian of the underground alien race, unless there are two strong men here who are similar in strength.
One last point. Could the essence of the anomaly caused by the use of the silver ring be that the strong man is punishing the person who uses the silver ring for personal use and does not hand it in according to the reward. From this, it is further inferred that if the power that modifies the spatial channel is allowed to pull and teleport, what will be the ultimate goal?
Considering the information he received from Lumiti, the leader of the Graystone City Guards, the history of the City Alliance has often been wiped out due to the possession of the Silver Ring, indicating that this Guardian still values and does not hesitate to use iron-fisted means in this regard.
From this, it can be guessed that this pulling force that changes the spatial passage is allowed to be exerted. There is a small probability that he was sent to an incinerator or something, and it is most likely that he was teleported to this strong man, who personally recaptured the silver ring and crushed the private collector to vent his anger, and then issued an order to slaughter the underground aliens involved with the user, in order to set an example.
If this is not the case, then there is a fairly easy way to reach the goal, and that is to open up the use of the silver ring and wait for the next time the space passage gets out of control.
First, this is just to help the Earth Mother God Cult complete this difficult task, and the situation after that is still difficult to say. If this underground alien powerhouse does not accept the rebellion, he will shoot himself to death with his backhand after getting the transparent skull, and he will not still die.
The second is the issue of trust. The Earth Mother Cult has prepared a lot of plans and plans for this mission, and these things have indeed achieved remarkable results, helping the team to get to where they are now.
But do they still have hole cards at this moment? Are they really in despair and have to use their whims as a last straw? If not, take out three fake transparent skulls again and bring them out to themselves. The underground alien powerhouse couldn't see the doorway, thinking that he had been tricked, wouldn't this be 'kindness but no reward' being killed by his own people.
After thinking about it, Jiao Ming finally cleared his mind. For the sake of the present, it is better to gamble on the latter and take life and death into your own hands as much as possible: take risks and try to complete the mission. On the other hand, it is necessary to confirm that the Earth Mother God Cult has exhausted its skills, and then gain their trust and obtain the true transparent skull.
In addition, considering the current situation, it is also necessary to confirm that the true transparent skull is in the vanguard. If the advance plan of the vanguard is also a smokescreen, and the real thing is still in the hands of Archbishop Mahiza and others above the shaft, this can be regarded as a complete failure.
With such a decision, Jiao Ming crawled out of the breach again. Due to the loss of the position of communicator, the side of the Earth Mother God Sect will naturally not take care of it more, only when Jiao Ming is his own person on the battlefield, and he will not do much to protect and not hinder more.
At this moment, in the cavity about ten meters high, two dwarves in the corner were ping-pong smashing the metal gates, trying to open another entrance to catch up with the vanguard they believed was carrying a truly transparent skull. This is also the main source of noise below.
