Chapter Twenty-Three: Glass, Not Mirrors
After the parade, Mo Xuan clearly felt the cohesion and pride of the citizens of Flame City, regardless of whether the lord's record was blown or not, those fishmen were real, and the real record was unquestionable.
And Mo Xuan understands very well the importance of propaganda for the superiors, the kind of propaganda of three people becoming a tiger Mo Xuan has not put down, after the continuous propaganda of the participating soldiers, the people gradually believe in Mo Xuan's exaggerated achievements in solving 100,000 fish people with a wave of his hand and his feet.
"How about the interrogation of those fishmen?" Sitting on the main seat of the council hall, Mo Xuan put down the documents in his hand and looked up at Atwood in front of him, as a person who has received that kind of orthodox knight education or that kind of rigid education, Atwood's insistence on some things is admirable, but at the same time, Atwood is definitely not a torture interrogator, there is only one reason that he can't be ruthless, if it weren't for the fact that there are too few people available to him, Mo Xuan would definitely not make this kind of decision.
"As you commanded, we didn't touch Prince Paul, and we asked the rest of the fishmen. Atwood paused for a moment, and a look of dispatience flashed on his face and continued: "After interrogation, we learned that Prince Paul once had a human mentor, and that human mentor was a bard, and that human bard taught this prince many things, but because of an accident the poet died. However, after the teaching of that teacher, this prince Paul was very envious of human culture since he was a child, so this prince often invited some humans back to the palace at the bottom of the river. Because of their special image humans are afraid of them, so they often hijack some humans, and gradually there are legends of monsters around here, and those bandits are also reluctant to be here for this reason, but because of various circumstances, those humans always die. Speaking of this, Atwood's face was very strange: "It seems that some powerful being has cursed this prince, and all the humans who have come into contact with him will die strangely after being taken to the bottom of the river by him." ”
"Wait, do you mean that this prince is very envious of human culture, so he often hijacks some humans instead of eating them?" Mo Xuan asked a little depressedly when he heard it, his face was not very good-looking, and he seemed to be mistaken.
"Yes. Atwood was also depressed.
"Now tell me how strangely those humans died. Mo Xuan decided not to think about this, he was very concerned about what kind of curse would make those humans die very strangely, all kinds of strange situations in this world could happen, if there was really such a curse, it would be better to let this prince go sooner, otherwise Flame City might become a Silent Hill.
Atwood was also very concerned about what Mo Xuan cared about, but those conditions were so depressing that he really couldn't figure out what the situation was, so he had to tell the situation carefully: "The humans who were brought down were fine at first, but as they got deeper and deeper into the water, those humans died strangely." ”
"Entering the water is getting deeper and deeper and then they die!" Mo Xuan touched his chin and thought thoughtfully, "How deep is their palace at the bottom of the river?"
"I guess it's about 300 meters! It's not the deepest part of the river. I don't understand why Mo Xuan asked Atwood and still said it truthfully.
"Ugh. Mo Xuan was a little speechless, it seemed that this prince didn't teach him what it meant to date with the depth of the water: "Three hundred meters of the bottom of the river, take some ordinary humans down! Even if there are some special means to make these humans breathe underwater, they can't protect their internal organs, if they don't die under that kind of pressure, there will be ghosts." ”
Mo Xuan rubbed his brows: "Okay! I know, first lock up that prince and entertain him with delicious food and drink, and don't abuse him." ”
"Yes. As soon as Atwood responded, he turned and prepared to go out.
"Wait. Mo Xuan thought of something again: "Take him next to the Lord's Mansion, and then tell the chef of the Lord's Mansion that every day the prince's food is delivered by the Lord's Mansion." ”
"Yes. Atwood responded, and then waited for a while to see that Mo Xuan didn't give any more orders before going out.
"Mo Xuan, Mo Xuan is done. Lu Sien trotted all the way into Mo Xuan's house with a gust of hot wind.
"What's done, Lu Sien, you are also a famous person in Flame City, can you stabilize the point. Mo Xuan in the room heard Lu Sien's ghostly scream, and put down the document in his hand unhurriedly, and then raised his head to look at Lu Sien and said.
"Mo Xuan, the glass is finished. Glass without impurities. Lu Sien handed a piece of glass the size of a basin to Mo Xuan as if he were offering a treasure.
Mo Xuan took this piece of glass and looked at both sides carefully, the quality of the glass was very good, there were no bubbles in the middle, and the lighting was also good, but the shape of the whole glass was not perfect, and there were still some unevenness.
"Not bad. Mo Xuan praised first, then put down the glass in front of him, fumbled in his pocket and took out a silver coin.
Mo Xuan put the silver coin in front of him on the glass, and then Mo Xuan mobilized the fire element in the air through his spiritual power to melt the silver coin, and the silver coin quickly melted and stuck to the glass.
Mo Xuan didn't make any other moves, just waited for the silver coin to solidify, and Lu Sien next to him was not in a hurry, he wanted to see what the hell Mo Xuan was doing, some of Mo Xuan's proposals and ideas surprised him very much, but he hadn't seen Mo Xuan's own things, this was the first one.
A moment later, under the gaze of the two of them, the silver coin froze, and Mo Xuan reached out and picked up the glass in front of him.
"Yes, that's good. Mo Xuan couldn't help but appreciate: "It's been a long time since I've looked at myself so closely." "On the glass, uh, it should be called a mirror now, and the mirror clearly reflects Mo Xuan's appearance, just because the glass is not neat, so there is some haha mirror effect.
"Let me see, let me see ・・・・・・. Lu Sien, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, didn't wait for Mo Xuan to hand over the mirror, and reached out to grab it.
"Ahh Lu Sien was taken aback, and if he didn't react quickly, he threw out the mirror in front of him, only to see Lu Sien holding the mirror in front of him tightly, and a red-haired and red-bearded, sloppy dwarf with red eyes on the mirror was opening his big mouth, looking surprised: "I'm scared to death." Lu Sien touched his chest with palpitations.
"That's what you're going to do. Lu Sien, who reacted that it was not a magic effect, looked carefully in the mirror and admired his heroic posture, and then asked.
Mo Xuan nodded: "That's right, but the flatness of your piece of glass is not very good, if it is smoother, the mirror will be better." Then Mo Xuan said, "If you can make this glass more flat, then double the ale." Of course, there is a reward for your helper. ”
"What you say is true. Lu Sien asked with red eyes.
Mo Xuan returned without hesitation: "Of course." ”
"Okay, you wait. Lu Sien put down a cruel word and hurriedly left again.
"This Lu Sien. Mo Xuan smiled helplessly, turned to look at his documents.
