Book 767 The Arena of the White Moon Country
Turrell is a researcher, and he claims that this is on par with Yu Feiniao. β₯, wwwcoΒ±m In Zhou Shu's opinion, if the research directions of the two of them can be a little consistent, they will become quite good friends.
At present, she is just casually doing things and looking around, and there are actually no special topics to overcome. The total amount of her magic power is limited, and she is destined to not be too complicated. Without the support of reality, the ability to theory of nature cannot keep up. Despite this, she still came up with a high-level product such as the Time Magic Array, although the basic theoretical knowledge came from the decomposition of the Zhou Shu Time Regression Candy, but according to the practice of magicians, this technology can be regarded as a successful development by her.
Hearing that she was going to follow Zhou Shu to the White Moon Kingdom, Turrell was very excited and wanted to see the world. In another time world, she had already been to it once, but this world had not yet been touched.
"Tomorrow, there seems to be a lot of excitement to see. I know too well. β
Zhou Shu is a relatively trustworthy person, and he promised Turrell to take her to his house before, but since cross-border is unrealizable, he can only compromise and go to Baiyue Country for a walk. In order to keep his promise, he can be regarded as taking the initiative to bump into trouble, which is a relatively rare situation.
Regarding the autumn celebration of the White Moon Kingdom, Zhou Shu really didn't know much. I heard him hear the sick princess mention it a little, only saying that it is a national celebration, although the competition or something has to do with the army and the war, but most of the events are more competitive than the nature of the performance. Officially, because the competition is very good-looking, it will win the hearts of the people and has been held until now
Zhou Shu has always been not very keen on watching the excitement, and in his opinion, the game on Bai Yueguo's side must not be seen through. At most, it was a boxing-like martial artist beating each other, but this time he guessed wrong-
In the early morning of the day of departure, the Gray Witch taxi left with people.
Tiddlelem expressed envy for Turrell going home with Zhou Shu this time, but it was a pity that she was the queen and could not go with her willfully, so she had to wave at the group that flew away in the distance.
The Grey Witch's flight speed is still the same. It took two hours to finally get to the right place. If Alyusha had been asked to use her faster flying machine, she wouldn't have tossed around for so long.
Zhou Shu was also very envious of this ability to fly and move long distances at will, but unfortunately he didn't know how to use these magics, and it seemed to be difficult to learn. The Grey Witch once used mathematics as an analogy, saying that she put in her energy and practiced seriously. If you reach the level of mathematics for college students, you will probably barely get in.
Although Master Zhou is a liberal arts student, his scores in mathematics, physics and chemistry are still very high, although he will not get such a terrifying score in the exam. However, there is no problem with the excellent rate of this kind of thing to achieve easily. He is good at learning mathematics, physics and chemistry, but he is not very good at learning languages, so he chose what he is not good at to study and went to become a liberal arts student. From this point of view, he felt that if he started studying mathematics again, he would probably be able to start his two-year retreat. The Grey Witch said that the learning speed of ordinary magicians is probably like this.
Back in Baiyue Kingdom, the sick princess prepared a fairly simple welcome ceremony for Zhou Shu and his party. This is what Master Zhou specially emphasized, he doesn't want to be surrounded by the crowd as soon as he comes back.
The Grey Witch landed in one of the courtyards of the Gray Palace. In the courtyard there are some slender round tables with food and wine on them. There were two piano girls sitting by the fountain in the courtyard, and the sick princess was wearing a long skirt, sitting on a chair with Erlang's legs crossed and looking in the direction where her sweetheart was flying. Dorothy, a summoner she hadn't seen for a long time, was waiting in the costume of a maid with a smile on her face.
Zhou Shu didn't wait for the aircraft to stop, he broke free from the shackles of magic and jumped from the sky, smashing on the brick pavement of the courtyard like Iron Man, and smirked at the sick princess.
I didn't see the sick princess for a few weeks. The smile on Zhou Shu's face betrayed the relationship between the two. Turrell is then led by Nati and the young eagle and jumps from the sky. She looked at the queen and earl of this country on the side, staring firmly at the atmosphere at this time with her eyes, and basically understood that she was not far from ten, and sighed vigorously in her heart.
"I'm back!"
"Welcome back. β
Simple greetings. It was enough for the two of them. The sick princess stretched out one of her hands to Zhou Shu, and Zhou Shu pulled her up from the chair, which was considered to be the first physical contact of the day.
"Get hungry, eat something, and tell me about new friends. β
The sick princess looked at the honey-skinned Turrell and was a little curious about the little girl. She had already seen the two little girls by Zhou Shu's side, the Knife Killing Team and Yang Xi, although the latter didn't look like each other.
Master Zhou talked a little about Turel, mainly about the things she created and helped him a lot.
The sick princess was surprised for a while, "Time ...... Can you travel back in time now? It sounds scary. β
"No, no, no. Zhou Shu felt that this misunderstanding was too big, "That thing is too dangerous, it was controlled, and the magician over there did it." Unless there's a special emergency, I don't have a chance to use it. β
"That's right. The sick princess showed a regretful expression, "I still want to experience it." β
"Is there anything you'd like to change from the past?"
The sick princess nodded, "If you think about it, everyone should have one or two things like this." β
The word 'repentance' has been experienced by everyone, strong enough to remember the plot of a lifetime, but it may not exist. Time is the best anesthetic, and no matter how deep and painful the wound is, there will be a day when it will be healed. Zhou Shu said that he really didn't have anything to see, not that he didn't have the past world, but he was afraid that after returning to the past, he wouldn't be able to go back to the current track.
He is very satisfied with his current life, what if something happens in the past world and the original encounter disappears?
In this respect, he can be regarded as a man from the past. After Lu Xiaoshuang died, he traveled through time and went back to the past, but Lu Xiaoshuang had no memory of the two of them at all. In order to recreate memories with her, Zhou Shu also flew around with her. After a long toss, the relationship between the two finally returned to a level close to the previous state.
The sick princess thought about Zhou Shu's words for a moment and agreed.
"yes, it's scary to think about. What if you accidentally change the past and make you hate me. When we first interacted, it was quite dangerous. β
Zhou Shu smiled and waved. This concern is unfounded.
"Want me to hate you unless you have the power to change my sexuality. β
The sick princess smiled sweetly and looked very happy. The greasy and crooked words spoken by the two of them were also heard clearly by Nati and Tourel on the side. The two of them were very unhappy, and they couldn't show it, and they were quite depressed.
Young Eagle has been with Nati for a long time, and she can feel the changes in her feelings, and she is this kind of person who is easy to understand. In order not to let Zhou Shu and the queen's love show get in the way, she cleared her throat from the side. "That, Her Majesty the Queen." Look at the time, the harvest festival in the castle has begun, right? How many other competitions are open for registration for the martial artists? I want to check it out. β
When she said this, the sick princess noticed that she seemed to be a little indecent just now. In fact, she is not very good at showing a dignified side at all-
The Autumn Harvest Festival has been going on for a day, and this is the largest celebration in Nishinokuni, and this week is not only a preparation but also a battle, and all seven days are devoted to it. After the carnival, it was a busy harvest day and a brutal autumn war.
About the competition. The capital of the West has just begun. The content of the competition is mainly small events, such as the track and field games for middle school students. You can do several projects in just one race or something.
The sick princess was woken up by the young eagle, grabbed Zhou Shu and wanted him to accompany him to the city arena to watch the game. Zhou Shu really wanted to see it, mainly because he wanted to see the arena building that resembled the Colosseum, and he was more interested in this kind of thing.
Eaglehawk and Nati went to try to participate in the tournament on their own, trying to find one or two events that did not have Princess Fuhu to participate in. As a result, as soon as I inquired, Princess Fuhu didn't come at all this year.
She was the champion of the most high-profile martial arts tournament at the festival two years ago. After having this title, it seems that he has been satisfied, and he does not plan to participate in the follow-up content, and he has not returned from the defeated army city.
So, Eagle Young and Nati casually found an event that was still accepting registration to participate, and the competition time was two days after tomorrow.
Zhou Shu took Turrell with him. The sick princess rode slowly to the Colosseum named after the Knight King in a carriage. When Her Majesty arrived, she naturally went directly to the royal stand, where there was no one at the moment. The three younger sisters of the sick princess prefer to watch the game from the civilian stands.
Master Zhou unceremoniously sat down on the side of the royal family, it was quite empty, and he didn't want to let him follow the civilians to crowd people. Turrell stood nervously, with her height if she sat down, she would basically not be able to see anything, and the height of the long table in front of the stands was a bit exaggerated.
The sick princess grabbed the list of the competition process and pointed to the center of the arena, saying that the exhibition match currently going on is a very popular event for magicians, and it is the finale of this morning.
The two of them are actually not interested in this kind of thing, and it is more interesting to get together and chat, which is their current state of relationship.
Zhou Shu felt a little sorry for Turrell, he also forgot about it, and it was impossible for him to have too much time to accompany her after he came back. Judging from her current expression, she seems to be quite embarrassed now.
"Otherwise...... the sick princess has always been very observant, and she called Dorothy beside her, wanting her to escort Tourel around. Turrell will also carry a translator, so there is no problem in moving around the country.
Zhou Shu glanced at little Turrell and asked with his eyes.
"Let me go and see it alone, I want to play too. β
Xiao Tao stood up and smiled and said that he could lead the way, so Turrell followed the people and left-
For failing to entertain Turelle, Master Zhou regretted it quite a lot, regretting that he shouldn't have brought her over. He didn't want this guy to stay alone here for three days, but he really didn't have time to leave the sick princess for a moment, and he didn't really want to leave......
This time the matter was definitely Zhou Shu didn't think it through, he had already decided, and he would apologize to Turrell when he went back. I just hope that she can meet good things when she is free, and she won't seem so depressed.
On the side of the sick princess, she has always wanted to talk to Zhou Shu about the glass factory and related crafts. In terms of liking shiny things, she is not much different from other girls. Now glass, which is not actually a high-end thing, has decorated the entire Gray Palace, and Zhou Shu has seen it just now, which has more or less added some modern atmosphere to that palace. At least it doesn't look like it was in the Middle Ages anymore.
"Now that the glass is there, I'm wondering if I'm going to change the dΓ©cor for the Gray House. The sick princess smiled and asked Zhou Shu if there was anything good to build.
"Well, I don't know much about this kind of thing, and I think it's good now. β
At present, due to Zhou Shu's gold aid, the royal family's small treasury is very full, and it can be a little defeated. The sick princess smiled and said that after having a good thing, she always wanted more good things to match it.
Zhou Shu nodded. "This is a very normal phenomenon, and in my case it is called 'Diderot's cloak'. β
Diderot's cloak is a simple story, and the main character in the story, Diderot, was a thrifty man all his life, until one day he received a gift of a gorgeous cloak. To match the cloak, Diderot changed his modest clothes and bought a gorgeous one
Outfit. In order to match the wear, I bought gorgeous furniture. In order to match the furniture, I changed to a beautiful big house......
"This kind of thing is very common in life. Isn't it?" Zhou Shu sighed, "but this is not a bad thing, it can promote residents' consumption." β
In the past two weeks, he has been thinking about the economic problems on the plains of his sword, and now his mind has not turned in this direction, and no matter what he says, he will always turn the topic up.
The phenomenon of 'Diderot's cloak'. At present, it has been widely used in business. Many large luxury product manufacturers will design a 'starter' for their products, with excellent value for money to attract those who have never bought luxury goods before, which is equivalent to 'giving' them a gorgeous cape.
But unfortunately, some manufacturers of practical goods who want to be blind are also engaged in this kind of thing, and the effect is actually very bad. The term 'entry-level model' has also been objected to a lot. If you can't let the consumers of goods form a 'Diderot psychology', the Diderot effect will naturally not be formed, things other than luxury goods, it is difficult for ordinary people to have the psychology of buying items with them, and those 'entry models' are at most just advertising to seize the market, in fact, most of them have the opposite effect.
Zhou Shu said a lot to the sick princess in one breath, and when he reacted, he was also embarrassed, grabbing his head and saying that he had been busy taking care of economic affairs in the West Country recently, and his mind was a little bent.
"I like what you say, you can always say something interesting that I don't know about. "The sick princess herself is a person with a strong sense of curiosity, and she has never been bored or impatient in the face of Zhou Shu.
At this moment, a certain magician in the arena seemed to have begun to throw his special move, only to see the man drink the magic potion, and then stomp on the magic circle he had drawn on the ground with his foot. The magic array emitted a black light, and the scene was stormy, and the audience was quite calm, because the first few magicians who came to perform also made similar things.
When the wind stopped, the sun disappeared from the sky, and the whole venue changed from bright noon to dark night, and the sky was dotted with special romance.
The sick princess looked at the stars in the sky and patted the back of Zhou Shu's hand next door. Zhou Shu understood, took the initiative to take her hand, and regretted his sluggishness.
"Miss, do you know what the 'dark effect' is?" Zhou Shu seemed to have made up his mind to show off his psychological attainments, and asked with a smile. "According to this 'dark effect', the darker the place, the easier it is to feel safe, and the more likely it is for two people to feel close. β
As he spoke, he put his head in front of the sick princess. The sick princess smiled embarrassedly and responded.
It was the first time she kissed Zhou Shu in such a public place. As queens and heroes admired by thousands of people, the night gave them a good cover.
Turrell and Peach went to the 'Royal Stands' closest to the arena to watch the show, and both of them were frightened by the magician who had turned the sun away.
"It's amazing, how did she do it?"
The magician took off his wizard's hat, revealing long, strangely colored hair that could not be seen clearly in the darkness. It seems to be purple. But even in the darkness of this, it was certain that the guy was a young woman.
Turrell had planned to compete, but seeing that the magicians of this country had such abilities, she also blushed and was not ready to make a fool of herself.
Between peers, there is always a certain amount of competition and comparison. Sometimes this kind of thing happens in the heart, meaningless, but depressing.
Turel, who is unparalleled in the world, now finally knows how narrow his vision was before. Although she complained a little about Zhou Shu's behavior of bringing her over and not being able to accompany her, she was also glad that she came with her, otherwise she would have been in a ridiculous position of sitting in a well and watching the sky.
Just as she sighed, something seemed to have gone wrong with the long-haired sorceress's magic. She was now throwing a salute into the sky, but instead of exploding the ball, a parabola fell. Exploded in a very low mid-air.
It was definitely a dangerous situation, and all the magicians present took action to stop the fireworks and prevent them from hurting the spectators in the stands.
Turrell's VIP stand was a hard-hit area, and she also stepped in to help, quickly casting spells that changed the trajectory of the falling flames, bouncing them elsewhere.
The audience was in a commotion. But it's not a big deal. The magician who turned the sun into a black was also thrown out by the judges of the competition because of this. Leave the arena gloomily.
After Turrell got the trouble, he was directly surrounded by people in the stands, and these spectators didn't expect that there was a beautiful magician lady sitting next to him, who was only a teenager and was definitely a genius.
It didn't feel good to be surrounded by onlookers, and Peach asked if Tourel was going to run away. After receiving an affirmative reply, she lifted the small magician directly above the top, and easily stepped on the handrail used to decorate the stands and jumped all the way out of the field.
Xiao Tao's leg muscles are so strong that they don't look like humans, and she can't see it in a maid's long dress.
finally left the arena, Turrell thanked Xiao Tao who helped her out of the siege, and sighed that any maid in the country was so powerful. My friend's West Country is really not comparable at all.
As an islander of Apple Island, Turrell has a slight limit in her knowledge, and many things have opened her eyes, including the huge walled gates when she entered White Moon City, including the magnificent arena next to her.
She is now a little at ease, and her original self-confidence has begun to disappear, and her extreme self-esteem has turned into an inferiority complex. She used to call herself 'I am the unparalleled Tourel in the world' in front of Zhou Shu, and now she is also ashamed of this, and she believes that Zhou Shu must be snickering at her ignorance and arrogance when she hears her say such things.
Turrell, who was in a bad mood game, was pushed by Xiao Tao and went to the restaurant stall to eat, there are many delicious things in White Moon City, which is much more reliable than the place where the defeated army city turns over and over to roast bird meat.
Just as Xiao Tao was about to pay the bill for the two pork rolls, a white and tender arm stretched out behind them, grabbed a crescent moon silver coin, and said boldly, "I'll please! After that, there was a long 'whoo~~' cry.
The two of them followed the sound and turned around, and saw a beautiful young girl wearing a coarse cloth robe, tied up her hair, and a very simple temperament, followed by an oversized reindeer. The tiger-like cry was made by the reindeer.
The stall owner took the money and started his next business, Xiao Tao and Tourel looked puzzled, not knowing what this guy was here for, but they still thanked the pork roll.
The woman with the reindeer smiled and pointed to her nose and said, "Deer witch, my name." I'm a magician who came here to compete. β
When Turrell heard that the person in front of him was a magician, he immediately changed his expression and looked very humble. As for her sentence 'I am the unparalleled Tourel in the world', I can't say it anymore.
The Deer Witch is not a 'witch', but a female magician. The gap between a magician and a witch is still very large, and the main ambiguity comes from the source of power. The magician uses magic, and the witch will use magic, but more power comes from other dimensions, a creature called a demon a hundred years ago, and no one in the White Moon Country has come into contact with the life of other dimensions, so there is no real witch in zΓ i yet.
The Deer Witch is a very cheerful and familiar person, and although she dresses like a shepherdess, she doesn't feel that gentle feeling at all.
"Little sister Tourelle, I have to apologize to you first, that stupid fireworks in the arena just now were made by my friend 'Amethyst', she is a stupid person, she almost hurt you, please forgive her. β
Turrell thought of the purple-haired, tall, handsome-looking female magician. It's a little unacceptable to be called stupid for such a person.
Xiao Tao grabbed the belly of the reindeer on the side, teasing it like a cat, and asked the deer witch what was the matter with the search, "You shouldn't have come here to apologize, right?"
The deer witch nodded with a smile and said what she meant, "Actually, our team is going to participate in tomorrow's magic defense battle, but we have encountered an unexpected incident and are a little short of manpower. I'm actually recruiting teammates here. I've just seen that Little Sister Turrell seems to have used temporal magic to defend against flames, and we just lack a partner who can do this kind of spell!" (To be continued......)
ps: Promise, there will be no plot like 'family comparison', which is currently a transitional chapter
