Chapter Twenty-Five: Revisiting the Underground Palace
Xiao Chen got up from the bed and was about to wash and dress, when he saw that Li Jia actually took a book and read words on the balcony, and listened to it again, this guy was actually memorizing Spanish words.
Xiao Chen tiptoed towards Li Jia, quietly walked behind him, and suddenly put his hands on his shoulders. Li Jia was so frightened that the Spanish textbook flew out of her hand and was about to fall off the balcony. Xiao Chen's eyes were quick now, so he copied the book back, looked at it twice with a smile, and sighed: "Yo, this is going to be a top student?"
Li Jia snatched the book, closed it and exclaimed, "What are you doing in a surprise? Isn't it necessary for me to do business with the locals?" ”
"Well, business, do it, do it! Girl, you have to soak it! I am optimistic about you. Xiao Chen looked serious, patted Li Jia encouragingly, and went into the house to wash his face.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Li Jia hurriedly argued.
The tap water was long gone, and the water in the house had to be brought in from the outside, so Xiao Chen just wiped his face with a dry towel, and then began to get dressed. He put on his pants and said slowly: "Can you hide your careful thoughts from me? One moment it's Te quiero, another time it's Tu eres hermosa, it's these kind words over and over again, are you going to say this to the vegetable seller?"
"That's what this textbook says. Li Jia said.
"Don't pretend, you can find a girl, it's too late for me to be happy, it's an unprecedented joy." Xiao Chen knew that Li Jia had no experience in this area, and his face was still very thin, so he didn't take him seriously.
Li Jia walked into the house and wanted to say something, but she was a little hesitant, holding on to the door frame and watching Xiao Chen go back and forth in the room to prepare for the door, and finally held back a sentence: "Where are you going?"
Xiao Chen gave him a blank look, and said angrily, "I will lead the team to explore the underground palace today." But that's not the point, it's what the hell are you going to say? If you fart, you're going to suffocate to death when you look like that. ”
"You said that if you love someone, you should do my best to protect her, right?" Li Jia asked softly as she walked to her desk, staring at a mirror on the desk.
As soon as Xiao Chen heard this, the fire of gossip in his chest began to burn, and he hurriedly put down the bag that he had already carried, dragged a chair and sat in front of him, looked at him very seriously and asked, "What, what?
Li Jia didn't dare to look at Xiao Chen, glanced at the window and categorically denied, "How is it possible, it's not that you haven't seen the natives who came to trade, they are all uncles and aunts." What language do I have in common with them...... , I thought, I'm also old, and I crossed over here alone, maybe I should really find a girlfriend and have someone to rely on. ”
Xiao Chen patted Li Jia on the shoulder again and said, "Even if it's a local, it's nothing, as long as you remember that all of us are a collective, don't make a mistake." ”
"Don't talk about my illusory things, how have you gotten along with Luo Ling in the past two days? I feel that she is a very gentle person. ”
"Luo Ling is gentle, don't talk about it. Xiao Chen laughed.
————————————————————————
"I'll say it again, listen to Dr. Feng well! If you run around again, I won't care about you anymore!" Luo Ling said to the tall man in front of him with a straight face, and almost pulled his ears with his hands.
Although Liu Yisheng was a head taller than Luo Ling, in front of Luo Ling, who was furious, he could only make a look of obediently bowing his head and admitting his mistake, and said, "But I'm not sick." ”
"He's really not sick, and even if he does, it's not like we have the equipment to find out now. Feng Yao walked out from behind Luo Ling, she looked very haggard, her hair was a little messy, and there was no blood on her face. The rescue of the previous few days really exhausted her.
But his memory has not been restored, and there have been a lot of jokes in the past two days. Luo Ling said with some concern.
"I judge that the problem is still the blow that caused him to lose his memory in the first place. You're busy, leave him here. Let me observe, and at the same time, you can help me do some simple work. ”
"Please, Dr. Fung. I hope he can wake up from the chaos soon. ”
"Luo Ling, I still want to go to the dungeon to play. ”
"Take it obediently, don't make trouble!" Luo Ling glared at Liu Yisheng, his sharp eyes made him shudder and stop squeaking.
————————————————————————
Xiao Chen and Luo Ling once again walked in the underground palace of the school, this time it was not full of tension and crisis like last time, but they came prepared. Behind them, Bai Yicheng and Wang Jiyuan led more than a dozen people. Whether it's hoes, shovels, or guns, there is no shortage of spears.
As soon as Xiao Chen and Luo Ling returned, they reported the situation in the underground palace to the committee. They guessed that the dungeon was a secret trial base under the earl's ancestral mansion, but no one had ever discovered it until the school fell from the sky and smashed through the upper level of the dungeon. There is a treasure room in the dungeon, which contains a large amount of belongings, and there is a passage that leads directly to a house in the town of Floro. After intense discussions, the committee finally came to the conclusion that the treasure needed to be taken out to meet the needs of the people's survival, and that the original owner of the treasure should be ...... Let's wait until he finds it. Thus, there was this joint investigation by the logistics group and the military group.
"Did those members who opposed the use of the treasure figure it out later? I heard that they approached President Guo to talk about the idea of returning the treasure to the Earl and settling the dispute peacefully. Xiao Chen asked Luo Ling with some curiosity.
"Leave them alone, it's been voted on anyway. God finally helped us and gave us a sum of money to start a business, and there is no reason not to take it. "Luo Ling has a jacket on her upper body and jeans on her lower body, and she has a pair of small leather boots today, which is quite an explorer, "As for the earl, since we smashed his big estate, it has not been so easy to be good." It's better to survive with these 'gifts' he gave us. Even if we have to compensate him, the more we wait for us to develop, the more resources we will have to compensate him. ”
"Those people are not at home, and they don't know the price of firewood and rice. There is a limit to what we can bring in exchange, and we will have to rely on these treasures for food for a period of time. Bai Yicheng also interjected.
"Well, it's these treasures that bring peace. If we have no money or goods but have guns, what do you think will be the result?" Wang Jiyuan has been in good spirits these days, the training of the escort team is on the right track, and the few people he brought this time have been initially able to cover each other and maintain a tactical formation.
Luo Ling glanced at him, nodded and said, "Let everyone live, what is robbery." ”
"Ahem, ahem. Xiao Chen hurriedly made a mistake, not letting these two 'murderers' talk farther and farther away, and the more he knew Luo Ling, he felt that this woman was like an incomprehensible river, sometimes like a trickle, gentle and considerate, sometimes like a surging and heroic posture. Xiao Chen actually agrees with their views to some extent, but he has seen some tragic battle scenes, the more he has experienced war, the more he wants to avoid war, he really doesn't want to meet these locals around him one day, it will be a huge loss to anyone.
He said optimistically: "Fortunately, we are lucky. I heard that the industrial team is already looking for iron ore, and the agricultural team is also looking for good seeds. In a few months, maybe we'll be able to cook our own vegetables in a pot that we have made......"
————————————————————————
The magical light sources in the tunnels still shine brightly, to the amazement of those who see them for the first time. The armored warriors who fell to the ground in the aisle gave it a more fantastical feel.
Wang Jiyuan picked up a broken hand armor, shook it, and knocked it a few more times. Asked Xiao Chen: "You mean, these armors will move on their own?"
"Really. ”
Seeing Xiao Chen nodding seriously, he sighed, "If I hadn't seen your fire sword with my own eyes, I would definitely think that you were talking in a dream." The empty armor inside turned out to be able to fight. A little girl can take out so many enemies. I didn't feel much of it, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I realized that this was not good news. ”
"Are you afraid that there are many such people in this world?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes, if there is a person like Zhou He, attacking our camp, it will cause big trouble. If there are ten ......" he didn't continue, but Xiao Chen could clearly feel his worry.
"I don't think that's very likely, not to mention that there isn't a single person like that in Floro Town. Ciro also told me that magicians and powerful warriors are rare. ”
"We can't judge the strength of the whole world based on the words of an old country man. For example, if you ask an old Indian farmer about the US nuclear arsenal, isn't that funny? When we go back, we must strengthen our armed forces. To survive, there is no shortcut except to become stronger yourself. Wang Ji said from afar.
The group walked into the hall where the statue was located through the crack in the stone, and while the others continued to look around, Xiao Chen tried to give full play to his special skills of night vision and carefully examined it. He has been bothered by the changes in his body these days, and although the various changes in his body seem to be benign, they are still worrying. He believed that this should be the cause of the mutation in his body. He examined every nook and cranny and perused every inscription, but nowhere was there any mention of this change in his body, except for a few words about the trial. He tried to concentrate his mind on the spot where the white ball of light appeared at that time, but he still found nothing.
He found that Luo Ling seemed to be doing the same thing as himself, she and Xiao Chen glanced at each other, and whispered: "I haven't found anything either, there doesn't seem to be any strange power here, I feel like they're all gone." ”
Later, they came to the treasure room again, and the boxes of gold coins and gems dazzled everyone's eyes. Bai Yicheng was stunned, these in his eyes turned into piles of food and clothes, Wang Jiyuan was stunned, these in his eyes became guns and crossbows, and the other people who came with him were also stunned, some people were confused in their eyes, and some people showed greed in their eyes.
"It's really remarkable that you're willing to give the treasure to the school, and the school and the committee owe it to you. Bai Yicheng, who came back to his senses, said to Luo Ling.
Luo Ling shook her head, looked at the others who were still in a daze, and said, "For each of us, the treasures here don't mean anything. At that time, what we wanted to see here was something that filled our stomachs. ”
Reminded by her of this, some people regretfully withdrew their possessive gaze, and some people threw the things in their hands back into the box with some shame. Everyone began to carry and sort out these things under Bai Yicheng's command. Yes, without the school as a collective, what is the point of more wealth in the hands of individuals?
Only Xiao Chen crooked his mouth after hearing Luo Ling's words: If they saw those gems in your pocket last time, they would definitely not say that.
At this time, Luo Ling winked at Xiao Chen and smiled slightly. Xiao Chen felt that she was very much like a little fox at this time, and shrugged her helplessly.
Luo Ling walked to Xiao Chen's side and said to him softly, "I think we should go to that magician's house again as soon as possible, maybe we should start from there to understand this magical world." ”
Xiao Chen also had this intention for a long time, neither the statue hall nor the treasure room had any useful information about the changes in his body, so the magician's room was the next place that should be explored.
