Chapter 21: The Touch of Darkness (3)
Lubik had to spit out half of his savings over the years, which had been obtained with great effort and grabbing, and now he had filled the bottomless pit of these two guys in vain.
"There are two ledgers here, this red cover is some relatively large amounts, just bother the two of you to hand it in, hoping to redeem some of my mistakes; ”
The two messengers opened the green notebook and flipped through it roughly, and looked at each other, although they didn't say anything, Lubik saw it clearly, and their eyebrows raised together.
Lubik had grief on his face, but he was smiling in his heart.
It doesn't matter, you can earn it again when the money is gone, and everything is over when the person is finished. Don't say half of it, even if you take it all out, it's also the price you have to pay!
Sure enough, the two of them were obviously satisfied with Rubik's attitude, and one of them softened his voice a lot: "Mr. Rubik, for now, your attitude is not bad. However, in order to clear the guilt, attitude alone is not enough. ”
Lubik was silent and led the two messengers to the laboratory. While observing carefully, the two recorded various details of the experiment in detail, and recorded the parameters of the experimental equipment one by one.
"I ask you, do you know what Mana is, and what it means to us?"
Lubik humbly replied, "Yes." It is God's bread for all, an unfathomable holy thing. That is the most direct and effective means for us to restore the brilliance of God and to cleanse us from the sins of the world. ”
Seeing that the two did not agree, Lubik continued: "Before technology advances, it may be difficult to associate food with slimes. And now, mana is not food, but a secretion produced by a special slime. This special slime can quickly break down nutrients in the blood, and then, with this secretion, it replaces the blood and circulates in the human body, which is our manna. And the human body is the ark of the covenant that records the will of the gods!"
Lubik's eyes gradually flashed with a frenzied light: "For more than a thousand years, human beings have risen and fallen in desire, and the world has rotted in competition. What we want to build is a new world where everyone has a divine nature and everyone longs for the God of Light. Everyone, let your body and mind be empty and fill it with God's will! I am responsible for only a small part of this vast project, but it will be the glory of my life. ”
"Then what should you think of the fault caused by your greed? ”
A cold sentence woke Lubik from his frenzy: "Uh, this, it's just an accident, an accident! The sample presented may have been deviated due to the stupidity of the people below, but the production process is fine, I dare to guarantee with my life! These machines are debugged by me personally watching them, absolutely impossible-"
"Nothing is absolute. Mr. Rubik, I warn you, we are taking the risk of helping you speak, once ......"
Lubik hurriedly said: "No, no! I can start it now, live demonstration!"
The envoy nodded, and said to his companion: "Then let's do it, record it, and give an explanation to the above." Mr. Magnum, will you come along?"
Magnum hurriedly said: "I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it, please, please!"
Lubik called his alchemist and ordered him to activate the machine in front of the messenger and demonstrate it to the two of them. The two of them recorded the entire production process of Mana.
Before I knew it, the rain stopped, and the thick clouds in the night sky gradually dispersed, revealing a few points of starlight.
The presentation finally came to an end, and everyone was sweating profusely. One of the messengers said, "All right." I see the rain has stopped, and we have to go back to our lives. ”
Magnum retained: "Today the two of you are like a thunderbolt and a swift wind, you have been on the road for a day, and you are busy until now, you must be tired, the road is slippery outside when it's dark, or stay for one night, how about it?"
The envoy said lightly: "We don't care, I'm just afraid that the Order will be impatient." ”
Lubik's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Then it's hard for two." ”
"As long as you don't get into trouble again. ”
"That's nature, that's nature. ”
Magnum informed Norris, who heard that the messenger was leaving overnight and hurried to get them ready. He was a little strange: "I only arrived two or three hours ago, and I am leaving now, why is it so urgent?"
Magnum said: "This time Lubik has made a lot of money, these two messengers, to say less, there are always two or three hundred thousand per person." You'll have to cash out right away. You think, once things don't go well, Lubik is unlucky, and as soon as the property is frozen, he won't get a single copper. ”
"Alas, this guy Lubik is also pitiful, and he can be regarded as spending money to buy a lesson. Anyway, my lord, this time I have caused you a lot of trouble, and Rubik must be indispensable to you. ”
"I'm thankful he doesn't get into trouble! I'll have to go, or else there's no one in the Enforcement Department, and I'm going to make the diehards suspicious." ”
"Your horse is fed and ready to go, but it's too hard for you to go back and forth, and we are the ...... of our subordinates"
"Alright, alright, I'm leaving. Tell Lubik to put his mind to work and not to count his own people all day, really. He also guarded me as a thief, if it weren't for me this time, see how he passed this level!"
Magnum was gone, and Norris let out a long breath. The dust has finally settled.
As a person gets older, he feels that he is very little. After tossing and turning again tonight, he didn't feel sleepy at all, and walked along the cobblestone road towards the church door. When I passed the stable, I passed by the groom who was too sleepy to open his eyes. Norris was in a good mood and said hello to the groom.
The groom was flattered and hurriedly saluted: "Father, tonight, villain, your hands and feet are quite nimble, aren't they? Five horses are really a lot of toss." ”
Norris said kindly, "You've worked hard. Well done, go get some rest. Tomorrow I will pay twenty pounds. ”
"Hey, hey, thank you, thank you, Father. Actually, those horses are very good to serve, and their spirits are good, but they have lost a little weight. ”
"What a joke. Do you know who is here tonight?"
The groom said with a smile: "If you want to say that you are not allowed to look at people, look at the horse, the villain will not look away." The tall horse with a pure white body is not unrecognizable, but today, he rode another one. ”
Noris Ha smiled: "I definitely have to change horses." Riding a white horse in the middle of the night to gallop this way, afraid that others will not recognize you?"
The groom was stubborn, and said with a smile: "The southern governor of Mag and the horses of the two attendants and the horses of the two messengers are together, and they are crowded one after another, and none of them have lost their temper, and they must be accustomed to eating in a trough." ”
Norris's face suddenly changed: "You mean, the five horses are together?"
The groom scratched his head: "Anyway, I think, like." ”
"It's broken!
"Where?"
"Holy City. I'm going to meet Mayor Magnan!"
"No, Father, set out at this time, and when you reach the Holy City, it will be almost dawn. If you go straight to Mayor Magnan, won't you be targeted by the diehards?"
Norris almost gritted his teeth: "Lubik, damn it!"
