At this point, the two who can no longer be purely classified as master and apprentice due to their ambiguous relationship can be regarded as setting a new business plan. However, due to the fact that both of them are busy people and are unable to handle specific things for the time being, they encountered a lot of obstacles in the establishment of the core research team in the first step.

After discussing left and right, under Jiao Ming's suggestion, the location was first chosen in the Crocodile Leader Magician Association. Relatively speaking, it is not so eye-catching here, and there is also Jiao Ming, a big apprentice, as a cover back and forth, which is convenient for secrecy.

In terms of personnel, there is a strong use of young people at the apprentice level. First of all, it goes without saying that it is naturally the trust factor. Secondly, according to the experience of the earth, Jiao Ming is convinced that this is a fairly long-term and infinitely promising market, and it is necessary to train core technical personnel from scratch.

Next, the two determined the general technical difficulties and task schedule in the form of a memo. Jiao Ming, out of a kind of technical confidence, was not too eager, and arranged the time more relaxed, focusing on steady and steady progress. And eliminate the interaction of various functions of the small magic array as the first target.

And as the work came to an end, the atmosphere between the two became ambiguous again. Emily has no experience in this area, and the culture of this world does not promote female initiative. Jiao Ming is not good at warm atmosphere, and when he opened his mouth, he remembered the successive small overturns when he met, and simply played to the characteristics of a straight man of steel, and directly took the beautiful woman into his arms.

I have to say that if the two are happy, this method is not bad, at least a passing score. Otherwise, it's complete ruin.

Time is like a small river, flowing silently, making it impossible to distinguish between the instant and the eternal.

But as mentioned before, both are very busy. I don't know how long it took, and the sound of a tinkling phone appeared in the mage tower below, and it was very obvious across the roof. Emily covets this warmth, and waves her hand to use magic to 'quiet' the phone. Jiao Ming persuaded Emily to get down to business.

Back from the rooftop to the top lab, Emily picked up the phone and sent her subordinates who came up to check on the situation. Jiao Ming didn't want to listen out of politeness, but the content of the conversation still got into his ears. After listening to a few words, she was blinded by Emily, and she felt a little guilty in her heart.

The main content of this phone call was actually that the Magicians Association was urging Jiao Ming's research institute to be in place. If it doesn't show up again, how many people will rush to ask for this place. Clearly, Emily has put a lot of effort into it.

When the phone hung up, Jiao Ming sincerely apologized: "I've caused you trouble again." ”

"It's nothing, and when you get involved, they'll feel like it's totally worth the few days of waiting. I have faith in you. ”

"If you disclose the strength of the Nine Rings, they will feel that it is even more worthwhile. Jiao Ming said.

Two years ago, Emily learned techniques from Crocodile Collar to reduce magic fluctuations. And since the promotion of the Nine Rings is on the Dwarf Island, with a little practice, he will completely hide his own star. When he returned to the United Kingdom, he reached an agreement with the Crocodile Collar to keep it completely secret and promote the Nine Rings.

So to this day, the Wizards Guild doesn't know that Emily has gone further, otherwise it would be more polite to call and urge.

"I'm already in the limelight enough, if I am publicly promoted to the Nine Rings. There will only be more criticism in the shadows. I don't want to die of an inexplicable illness like the Ifusen Theocratic Homeland genius you talked about. ”

"The overall environment of the Wizards' Association should not be as bad as that of the Ifusen Theocracy. ”

"If I was in the Ifusen Theocracy, there were ten forces that wanted to trap me. And there is only one force here, which is enough for me to be vigilant. Isn't it?" said Emily, her expression complicated.

"Thank you. In the future, when you have me by your side, you will be safe. Jiao Ming said and opened his arms again.

"You're only seven rings, how can you protect me?" asked Emily with a smile, slowly backing away.

"But I know three kinds of magic, and I can also distract myself from three purposes, especially able to fight. Jiao Ming approached and stepped forward, like an eagle catching a chicken.

Emily giggled, teleported directly to the other side of the lab, and backhanded a large stack of papers from the desk drawer and pressed them into Jiao Ming's chest. "Don't make a fuss, since you're about to participate in the big project of the Wizards Association, you can't just go in with a black eye. Hurry up and read the approximate plan of these. ”

Jiao Ming was unwilling, and kissed the beauty lightly on the forehead, and then entered the working state. But I've only seen the first one, and there is a fluctuation from the communication device around my waist. After the reverse teleportation, it was a roll of paper written by Luo Hua, and the unsolved case of the nameless corpse had progressed.

"Ice Lotus is calling you back?" Emily asked lightly. Although the tone was flattened, the eyes still revealed the inner fluctuations.

"Of course not. Jiao Ming directly displayed the note and briefly summarized the original story of the unsolved case.

"Are you going back?"

"Briefly dealt with and will be back soon. ”

Emily blushed suddenly, it was already time to rest. If you come back, can you still read the information all night? But you can still accept and enjoy hugging and intimacy, but in some respects you are really not mentally prepared. In a panic, Emily directly stuffed the information into Jiao Ming's arms, stumbling and saying that she didn't need to come back.

Jiao Ming was anxious about the progress of the case, so he didn't think much about it and teleported away. Emily in the laboratory felt the remnants of the spatial passage slowly disappear, the space was as smooth as ever, and her heart fell into a deeper entanglement. On the one hand, he doubted his charm, and on the other hand, he complained that Jiao Ming was incomprehensible, and even regretted his provocative behavior just now.

Finally, I remembered the joke that 'birds are not as good as beasts'. He smiled to himself, cleaned up his mood and sat back in his position, and continued to study qi magic.

On Jiao Ming's side, he smiled bitterly at the development of the case.

Through the many characteristics of the corpse, after a morning of hard work by the Immigration Bureau, and an afternoon of visits by the Luohua team to the suspected target, the identity of the deceased was finally determined. But it became uncertain again.

Because the family of the deceased is not really the family of the deceased.

This family came from a small state around the Green Flame Kingdom, and the whole family moved together because the child and the child's mother had the talent of water magic in two rings and one ring respectively. The deceased was nominally the child's uncle, but in reality he was a stowaway.

Due to the common blond hair, language barrier, and a bit of face blindness, the Crocodile Leader immigration staff couldn't tell the difference effectively. Although the high-level has this consideration, this is no more than the immigrants of the lighthouse country of the earth, and the labor problem is not big, so they are too lazy to care.

And with this family living and working in peace and contentment in the crocodile territory, this fake uncle is also firmly established. The two sides had a pleasant deal, but there was no more involvement. After all, from the short time they got along, the family had already realized that the stowaway was not a good bird.

Not only does it hide the magic ability of the water system, but it is also obvious that it is idle. It is speculated that the previous smuggling is likely to run away from the enemy. With such an unreformed appearance, it is just around the corner to provoke a new enemy. Break off early and clean early.

After the showdown, the fake uncle also tried to ask for some travel expenses, but seeing that the family was resolute and the security here was not a decoration, he didn't make too much trouble after all, and left with a scolding and scolding.

At this point, the family no longer knows the whereabouts of the 'false uncle'. The clue seems to be interrupted here.

If it weren't for this unsolved case and the security department, Jiao Ming would have even given up the impulse to investigate. A scoundrel-like character, if he dies, he will die, maybe a strong man bumped into his murder, and it is not necessary to eliminate harm for the people. But for now, we can only continue to think of a way.

When the bell rang, the characters in front of the courtroom appeared, and something that surprised Jiao Ming even more appeared. Wearing the inquisitor's uniform was actually the Duke of Crocodile himself. The muscular mass of the uniform was propped up, not only as if it might burst at any time, but after it was returned, the original judge could only wear it as a coat.

"This ...... What's going on?" Jiao Ming asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. On a whim. Binglian replied in a low voice.

"There won't be any moths. Jiao Ming asked worriedly.

"Probably not. "Binglian is not sure.

Not only Jiao Ming and Binglian were confused, but everyone in the audience was also whispering. But after three small hammer strikes, the scene fell silent. At the beginning of the fixed process, although Duke Crocodile played the role of the inquisitor for the first time, he watched the trial many times and was quite familiar with them.

A few minutes later, the jury, the defendants, the plaintiffs, and the attorneys were all seated, and the crowd recited in unison the several revisions of the Declaration of Loyalty. It's just that the crocodile duke stumbled a little when he spoke of his allegiance, and he kept up with the rhythm of everyone. It is also worth mentioning that several defendants have blue noses and swollen faces, especially the Qingyan cousin and Sksk.

The subsequent presentation of the case, presentation of evidence, etc., went very smoothly. Jiao Ming also gradually put his heart back into his stomach, judging from the tone and words, there should be no possibility of flipping.

When it was the defense lawyer's turn to speak, there was still a hiccup. The defense lawyer is still the same decoration, but Niu Li, who has a vague premonition that something is wrong, trembles and applies to say a few words.

Jiao Ming raised his eyebrows, he had long felt that this product was not a simple reckless man. In such a situation, there is no noise and noise, and the words can be said smoothly, which is really good. The crocodile duke was also a little surprised, but he still generously agreed.

This Niu Li muttered the same rhetoric when he was captured by Jiao Ming, or 'Loyal and dedicated to the crocodile family, there is no merit and hard work', and pleaded for a way to live.

Probably because the persuasion effect was not good, Niu Li couldn't bear the pressure, so he simply went further. tells the story of being a tax collector a few years ago, and it is not ordinary to kill a few people, if you deserve to die, all tax collectors deserve to die.

The entire courtroom suddenly felt like a fryer. The crocodile duke slammed the small hammer three times, and then shook the Holy Demon Sea, which made the scene quiet. stared at the silence for a moment, and gave an explanation: "The new decree has been changed and implemented for several years, and there is no point in settling old accounts. ”

Jiao Ming felt that this scene was a bit interesting. According to the tradition of this world, a strong man above the Nine Rings like the Duke of Crocodile has no need to explain more with a weak scum of the First Ring.

But under the constraints of the rules of the trial area, the Duke of Crocodile, as the judge, also had to give an explanation for this self-defense, otherwise it would be like losing momentum. Recalling the original metaphor of the 'cat bell', it seems to be a sign of fulfillment.

The rest of the process was no longer turbulent. At the end of the trial, the jury, lawyers, and other idle people all left, and the Duke of Crocodile also took off his judge's uniform, but spoke for the patriarchs of various families, large and small, to stay. Looking at the posture, it is actually the meaning of directly holding a conference in a place.

The patriarchs were puzzled from the moment they received the notice to observe the trial, and after watching the whole trial process, they felt that something was not right, but they couldn't say it. It wasn't until he heard the notice from the Duke of Crocodile that he was strict in discipline and respected the rights and interests of ordinary people, and he fell into complete hesitation.

Jiao Ming asked Binglian, "You told the crocodile duke about this." ”

"If you want to succeed, can you hide it?" Binglian asked angrily.

Duke Crocodile is not the kind of leader who is extremely domineering and disdainful of his subordinates. After the discussion stopped, he began to give an explanation. And Jiao Ming felt bad when he heard the words 'three days of darkness', and directly teleported back to the office.

Sure enough, the voice of the silent person's personality came to mind.

... Why don't you listen to it...

... I've got other intercessions to be busy, and why are you watching...

... You're not watching in the afternoon. It's fun enough for me to avoid it at night...

... Hum...

... I'm curious about what the crocodile duke has to say, so let's hear it...

In the eyes of the Silent Personality, even if there are guns, it is difficult for the Crocodile Duke to convince these high-ranking people to pay attention to the rights and interests of ordinary people, and even his own attitude is a bit strange: too much consciousness. Most feudal lords have no subjective initiative, only seek stability and no change, even after the persuasion of Jiao Ming and others, they should be conservative and wait-and-see.

In addition, the Crocodile Duke also mentioned the 'Three Days of Darkness', which also made the Silent personality quite concerned. After all, this is too strange, all the information is about the effect, not the cause. Multiple intelligence channels may be able to gain additional gains.

... It's my time and I'm not interested in what their meetings are about...

In fact, Jiao Ming had already guessed how the Crocodile Duke would convince everyone to release some exclusive inside information about the 'Three Days of Darkness', such as suggesting that the depletion of the Holy Demon Sea was due to the battle between two underground alien powerhouses. It is then inferred that similar situations may occur, so that if you don't want to be completely detonated into social contradictions, it is logical to pay more attention to ordinary people.

If this kind of example is compared to the earth, it is probably like the melee of warlords in the later period of the Zhong Dynasty, and the 'soldiers and guns' that those warlords and local tyrants and gentry relied on would disappear from time to time for a day or two. The first time the people at the bottom didn't react, they mixed it up, and if they came a few more times, the consequences would be unimaginable.

... The more I think you know the inside scoop on the three days of darkness. And sooner or later, this kind of thing will be revealed by other insiders, why don't you tell me to change it to a high price now...
