"Big brother, we have a lot of research projects waiting for materials recently, and these all need money to buy. You see if you can give us Vbar Kiel (5,000 gold) directly, and we don't want that patent share. That money will be used as our wages to help you perfect the design drawings and build a car. ”

Jermaine plucked up the courage to finish the speech in one sitting. At the end, he looked at his people triumphantly, as if he had won a battle. Marit even more openly stretched out a thumbs up and praised her man. Reilly, though unmoved, had no objection to it, and just sipped the mead himself. Freya was the only one with a look of embarrassment.

Five thousand gold is a lot of money. Buying this new home I live in now, not counting the cost of decoration, is about the same price. If I had gone back a little further, I would have spent almost all my savings on this house, and the most important thing was to buy a lot of magic materials to transform this ordinary house. The silver-bearded dwarf made such a request, and he could only use the credit.

But recently, because several issues of the mathematics journal have also been issued, the academy of the great magician of Kabanbai not only earns operating expenses, but also earns several more research projects, how can he still be shy in his pocket, and the cash box is naturally full. It's not a problem to pay for Jermaine's requirements, it's just that you have to be tight for a while in terms of your own research projects and expenses.

So, do you want to say yes? In addition to having more available funds on hand, if the car does sell in the future, will the silverbearded dwarves feel that they have been cheated again? It's just that at this time, it doesn't seem quite right to continue to insist on your own opinions, because the other party has already made up their minds. Lin asked cautiously, "Don't you think about it anymore?" The future of automobiles is good. ”

"No, big brother, so be it. We don't take advantage of your creativity, and helping you perfect your design is the kind of assistance we promised you when you left your hometown to travel with you. But if you're a little tight on money, don't give me all the money at once. Part of it slows down, it doesn't matter. There's no way I'm going to spend it all in one sitting, anyway. ”

After thinking about it, Lin didn't insist anymore and said, "Okay, just write it into the memo according to your conditions." Do you want to take the money directly or keep it in the account? ”

"No, big brother. With such a large amount of money, we don't have a big cash box to keep. So let's put it on your side first, just use the bookkeeper. ”

The agreement between Lin and the silverbeard dwarves, although there is no contract written in black and white, is also written on a memorandum document. Avoid the nobles on both sides from forgetting things, and it is easy to hurt feelings when there is no basis for words. Since it is not a contract, the content can be amended as long as both parties agree. The files are stored in the forum space and recorded with a special encryption method.

Originally, he had to use parchment scrolls with great difficulty, and wrote one copy each in the lingua franca of the Lost Land and one in the Silverbeard Dwarven language. But then the content continued to increase, and everyone was too lazy to copy and sort it out, so they simply put it on the Internet and did some dispensable confidentiality measures. As the saying in my hometown, only guard against gentlemen, not villains. However, there is no objection from both sides to such an approach.

After a little discussion on the content of Document 1903 and the determination of the direction of the next development, Jermaine and others were happy to make preparations, the most important thing was to contact the steward of the Chamber of Commerce. This high-ranking steward introduced by the great magician Kabanbai has recently earned a lot of commissions because of the lavish purchases of the silver-bearded dwarves, and he almost has to offer these dwarves as ancestors, so no matter how late it is, there is no problem.

Watching the dwarves leave, only Freya took a step slower than everyone and nodded to himself, Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. However, we can't blame them for being too vigilant, and how to ask them to pay loyalty and trust when they are not fully aware of themselves.

In fact, even the trust of others, Lin also feels that it is conditional and prerequisite, not unconditional loyalty and trust. It's just that a few silverbearded dwarves have a little more defense in comparison. A lot of things are relative.

Pour the coffee into a mug, clean the coffee pot, and walk back to the attic and your bedroom with the mug. Before the door could be closed, Hardy the gray cat scurried in with a puff of smoke.

I didn't kick out the cats that came in the door. Lin looked at the gray cat whose hair had not been completely dried, licked his front paws with disgust, quickly combed his half-dry wet hair, and scolded and said, "This is torture, this is definitely torture from the darkness!" Why is there so much cat tossing stuff in your house's bath. I thought it would be great to be splashed with water, but it turned out to be bubbles and brushes. If I did it every day, I wouldn't want to live. ”

After laughing twice, Lin said, "This is to punish you for finding something to do for me." You cats are seen by that group of people, and they are bound to make such a request, how can I refuse. Starting tomorrow, if you don't want to be caught and scrubbed, you can hide a little farther away. If that one sees it, I don't care. By the way, would you like some milk? ”

"What is milk?" Hardy asked.

Putting down the mug containing the coffee, Lin took out a bottle of milk from the small cooler in the bedroom. If you don't have the habit of drinking animal milk, it's not easy to get a bottle of milk. Worst of all, it's easy to make bad associations.

Thinking that at the beginning, when such a request was made to the people of the Chamber of Commerce, the two yellow-haired girls pressed their own stunted chests with both hands, and glared at someone viciously with complaining eyes. Although Lin tries to explain the nutritional value of milk, it is not really nutritious, and even on the earth, there are different opinions.

The apple god Lao Jia has said in public more than once that drinking milk is actually a conspiracy marketing tactic in the animal husbandry industry. It's like giving chocolates on Valentine's Day, it's a craze for candy companies to sell their products.

What the truth is, someone is not clear. It's just that I'm used to drinking it before I crossed over, and now I miss the taste.

The steward of the Chamber of Commerce introduced by the great magician Kabanbai is a capable person, and he actually brought himself milk, not the milk squeezed out by some messy animal, and established a long-term supply channel.

It was a ranch on the edge of the Holy City that specialized in meat, and most of the milk was processed into cheese, and few people drank it directly. The main reason is that fresh milk is not resistant to storage and can spoil easily. However, this is not a big problem for magicians.

Finding a clean dish, Lin poured some milk and put it in front of Hardy. Realizing what the lingua franca meant by 'milk', the gray cat also looked at someone with strange eyes. Drinking the undead cat anyway, so Hardy lowered his head and tasted it tentatively.

At the beginning, I drank the whole dish of milk with a click. In the end, he licked his cat's paws unsatisfactorily.

It seems that whether it is a cat on the earth or a cat, many of the habits are similar. Lin thought so.

Ignoring the gray cat who was still busy taking care of himself, Lin opened the skylight for stargazing. The fixed telescope, designed according to the established program, began to receive data and leave records. However, such background movements did not prevent Lin from peeking at the starry sky illuminated by the telescope from the eyepiece.

As for the search for the earth, I have found the sun in my hometown. But the real distance and direction of the maze have not yet been able to calculate an answer. Don't look at your own level of mathematics, as if you crush the sentient beings in the world, but in the face of the mysteries of the universe, you are still the scum, and there are far more unknown parts than you know.

Jumping onto the small table next to the telescope, Hardy took advantage of someone's removal of his head and peeked into the telescope's eyepiece as well. It was startled and shrunk its head, then cautiously poked its head out and looked closely. In the end, I also learned from someone, squinted one eye, and looked seriously at the star, which had been magnified dozens of times.

Watching Hardy's movements, Lin smiled. In the same way, no matter what world the cat is, curiosity remains the same.

"What do you keep looking at the stars?" Reluctantly retracting his head, Hardy asked as he looked at the starry sky.

Lin actually took a moment to think about this simple question before he said: "At first, I liked it, I liked the light that broke free from the darkness and made us seem less lonely in the vast universe. Later, it was to learn. I like them, so I want to know more about them, so I have to learn from them. Now ......"

Standing up and pointing to the sky where the white Milky Way hung high, Lin said, "There is everything hidden in me. ”

The final note is not clear and can be interpreted in many ways. But cats are far less curious about language than they are about things. So Hardy didn't delve into someone's words, but he casually asked, "I don't know what the abyssal sky looks like." ”

Someone who fell into some kind of inexplicable intoxicating feeling was awakened by a word! yes, I haven't thought about it. The Abyss itself has been to it once, and it is not an underground world with stones on its head. It's just that the air there is very bad, the sky is always gray, and I can't see why, and I didn't think to take a good look at the sky that time.

But the so-called abyss, the magicians of the Lost Land think that it belongs to another plane, and they themselves naturally think so. But what about this 'other plane'?

Different dimensional spaces? Obviously, no. The Abyss and the Lost Land, even with the Earth, are all located in the same dimension. Although the conditions for the true body of a god or an abyss lord to descend into the Lost Land are very harsh, most of the time they must be present as a saint. But low-level demons don't have to be so troublesome, what they look like in the abyss, what they look like when they come to the maze, at most there will be some changes in strength and weakness.

Clark Kent came to Earth from Krypton, and he will become Superman because of the yellow sun. If the demon changes its location, the strength and weakness will change somewhat. However, this also means that the demon did not appear in the maze after the 'dimensionality reduction'.

One of the most obvious characteristics of witnessing high-dimensional creatures is that it will bring cognitive confusion to the witness, rather than pure 'fear'. There is a difference between the two.

So the question arises: where is the abyss in the universe? Or ask, in which universe is the abyss? Is the theory of the multiverse correct?
