Chapter 123: The Voice of the Mystery (Part 3)
In the year 823 of the Holy Calendar, at the end of the dormant month (February), Rentat, in the district of "Sadni".
This area was originally outside the city, inhabited by ordinary merchants who sold fish in the Storm Strait, but gradually gathered citizens who made a living from fish pickling, processing, sorting, and brokering, and gradually prospered, and flourished in the Kingdom of Holm due to the influence of the Magic Council, and was incorporated into the city during the second expansion of Rentat City, named after the "Sadni" bream, a specialty of the Storm Strait.
However, with the magic steam train between "Padre Port" and "Rentat", the fishing industry was monopolized by the big merchants who relied on abundant money, cheap prices, and fresh goods, and the ordinary merchants went bankrupt and changed careers, and some of the citizens who were born from this began to work hard for the big merchants, and some fell into the miserable situation of unemployment.
Fortunately, at this time, the initial popularization of alchemy items and the increase of alchemy workshops prevented the unemployed citizens from finding a way to live, and it only took a few years for the Sadeni district to become a neighborhood of half-workers and half-fishermen.
The night was dark, and the houses were still flickering with dim candlelight because they couldn't afford magic crystal lamps, but the street lamps on both sides of the street were bright and dazzling under the black lines like spider webs, and the light and shadow were shaking, mixed with darkness, sparse and dense.
"Phew, dog man and woman!" A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy looked at the men and women who were snuggling up to each other in the shadows behind the street lamp, and spat fiercely, although the style of the Kingdom of Holm was conservative, except for hugging and whispering, the couple did not kiss and caress and other actions, but the young man's eyes were still shining, full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Andy. Don't look at it, that's about to start. A slight sound came from behind the street trees on both sides of the road.
Andy was startled and quickly turned around, only to see the three friends sticking their heads out from behind a thick street tree and waving their hands out of reach.
"What, that ......" Andy came back to his senses, his expression suddenly changed, and a look of nervousness and excitement appeared, as if he was doing something very dangerous and exciting.
Quietly leaning closer to the street tree, he whispered, "William." Mickey. Martin, why didn't you come to me sooner?"
The brown-haired Martin chuckled, "How dare you come to you? ”
"Yes. The blonde William cleared his throat, "Spring is coming, and everything grows. Booming commotion. Andy is in heat again. ”
"You guys. Do you want to die?" andy glared at them through gritted teeth, his blue eyes full of annoyance.
"Be quiet, you really want to die!" Mickey, the shortest of the smallest, but stiffly wrenched in the palm of his right hand.
Andy took a deep breath and closed his mouth tightly. Pointing into the distance, he gestured with his eyes to leave now?
"Well, or I'd be late, and I wouldn't have heard Miss Nightingale at the beginning. William looked fascinated.
"This guy is in heat too...... "Martin looks like I don't know you.
A few friends whispered and laughed, while cowering and tiptoeing forward, like thieves.
Turning past a dozen houses and through two sparse woods, their voices gradually subsided, unusually quiet, and their breathing became heavy.
Ahead was a row of civilian houses in a remote corner of the "Sadni" district, and they walked to the penultimate ordinary two-story building.
After pulling up the neckline of his shirt to cover half of his face, Andy knocked on the door six times in a rhythm of two fast and three slow.
The door opened silently, and a middle-aged man with a serious expression quickly looked left and right, and motioned to Andy with his eyes to come in quickly.
Andy, Martin, Mickey, and William flashed into the room very skillfully, and saw that the hall was crowded with people, sitting or standing around the center, which could be called the inner and outer three floors, and the curtains had been drawn, and the room was dim and swaying under the light of a candlestick, which reminded people of the ghost stories they had heard.
In the hall, there are strong men, girls, old people, children, young men in "estrus" such as Andy, and several young girls in their prime.
Glancing at each other, Andy, William and the others took advantage of their short stature, squeezed around in the crowd, and finally rubbed to the side of several girls, and said with a shy smile: "Scarlett, Selma, you are here too?"
The beautiful little blonde girl glanced at them sideways and put her white slender finger to her mouth: "Shhhh ”
Hearing this, Andy and the others' bodies trembled violently, and they didn't have the heart to get close to the girls for the time being, and waited attentively.
The owner of the house, the stern middle-aged man with a straight face, dressed in an old white shirt, squeezed into the middle, fiddling with the skull-sized odd thing on the coffee table.
The thing was gray in color, carved with strange patterns, with a row of black buttons and two round knobs, like sheep's horns, two long lines that shimmered metallicly, about half a meter long, also entwined with strange floral symbols.
Watching the serious middle-aged man fiddling with this strange thing, Andy and the others, whether they were old or young, male or female, rude or sven, waited with their breath as if they were in a church, as if it were an extremely sacred thing.
The familiar sound of electricity sounded, and Andy's back straightened up, and the people around him made similar movements almost at the same time as him.
A vague, noisy female voice came from the strange thing, and as the middle-aged man fiddled, the voice gradually became clear:
"Hello everyone, FM 592.6 Holtz, this is the 'Voice of Mysteries', thank you for listening, it's ten o'clock in the evening Alinge time, and the next four hours will be spent by your friend 'Nightingale' and I will accompany you. ”
The sweet and touching female voice tickled the hearts of William, Andy and others, and they guessed how beautiful Miss Nightingale was.
"The first program is 'Common Sense of Life', and I will bring you a healthier and more reasonable lifestyle, so that you can avoid all kinds of dangers that you may encounter in life. ”
"In recent months, there have been many unscrupulous traders selling toothpaste, shower gel and other items under the guise of 'radioactivity' in Lentat and other cities in the Kingdom of Holm. It claims to be more stylish, works better, and can prolong life, but in reality?"
"We have to start with this five months ago, when Lucien Evans, a member of the Arcane Review Committee, a high-ranking arcanist, and a three-time Holm Crown, an Immortal Throne, an Arcane Scepter, and a Snow Medal Award, published a paper that had been sealed for three years, that is, the paper he received the Ice Medal: "A New Element Capable of Radiating Electron Streams and Two Other Types of Rays", in which he pioneered the concept of 'natural radioactivity'. It is believed that the structure of some elements is unstable. New elements and electron streams are emitted. ”
"That's amazing!Selma, he wrote a lot of the works in the 'Music Corridor', and our favorites are! He also has such a long list of titles! and the same name as that great musician!" After more than a year of "popular science", Scarlett, who probably understood the meaning of these titles, said in surprise and admiration. The suppressed exclamations in the hall came and went.
Andy is very ambivalent. On one side is the girl I admire. On the one hand, there is a musician and magician I like very much, what attitude should I use towards this Lucien Evans?
As for the description of natural radioactivity that was a bit difficult just now, they have been bombarded with fatigue by businessmen for several months. I can probably figure out what is going on, in the words of the merchants, "This is the best toothpaste that emits new elements and electron flows, which effectively remove the dirt from your teeth and make them whiter, and the new elements that make you healthy, which only the great nobles can use regularly." ”
"We interviewed Mr. Lucien Evans on this subject, and he elaborated on the 'natural radioactivity', which emits new elements and electron flows, and these materials also emit a 'curse', which changes your body, causing your hair to fall out, your teeth to loosen, your blood to distort, your body to fail, and the new elements and electron flows can also cause serious damage within certain ranges. ”
Ahh
"And this kind of damage will not only affect you, but also through your body, and bring it to your children, so that they will be deformed from birth, so, listeners, do not be misled by unscrupulous traders, radioactivity is only bad for you, not good, and you can't buy them because they are fashionable. ”
"Finally, to summarize in the words of Mr. Evans: Faith in religion harms a lifetime, and radiation destroys three generations!"
"I, I'm going to throw that toothpaste away! I'm glad I came to listen to the voice of the mystery!" Similar voices rang out one after another, relaxed with fear, fear, and rejoicing, and in no mood to oppose "believing in religion is harmful to life."
Suddenly, Scarlett said with a crying voice: "I, I've been using it for a month, will it ...... ruin three generations......
Nightingale's sweet voice continued: "Those unscrupulous vendors' toothpaste, shower gel and other items are added because of the small amount of additives, or even no additives, stop using them immediately, and there will be no sequelae." ”
When I exhaled and exhaled, a strong wind almost set off in the hall, and it was good if there was nothing to do, and it was good if there was nothing to do!
"After a short melodic session, we will begin the program 'Revealing the Secret Church' hosted by Mr. Sage, which tells the story of his 38 years as a municipal official dealing with priests and bishops, fading the sacred aura of pastors, bishops and others and restoring the joys, sorrows and sorrows that they should have as a real person. ”
"Wow, cheating with a nun again?" Andy got excited.
A strong man with Andy's thick thighs next to him looked back at him and teased, "Maybe it's a little boy like you......"
Just as I was about to refute, a beautiful melody sounded on the ore radio, calm and peaceful, and washed people's hearts.
"It's Mr. Evans' light music 'Castle in the Sky'. Scarlett whispered, afraid of interrupting the beautiful music.
After "Revealing the Church", "Into the Arcane", and "Magic Lecture", the sweet voice of the nightingale sounded: "Next is everyone's favorite 'Body Mysteries' program, and we continue to invite Mr. Felipe, an authority in the field of the human body, as a guest. ”
"Well, I like Mr. Felipe, I like his cold and arrogant attitude too much...... "Thelma said with a fluttering brow.
"Hello, Mr. Felipe. ”
"Good evening, Nightingale. ”
"Mr. Felipe, as we all know, the human body will have a period of rapid development when it reaches the age of twelve, accompanied by great changes in the body, which brings about the depression and depression of boys and girls. ”
“......”
"Mr. Felipe?"
“......”
"Mr. Felipe, you, calm down, ......" (to be continued......)
