62. Unrest

"Can this big steel lump really fly?"

The snake Lori watched the mochi pound with a large, irregularly shaped piece of iron, and looked at it curiously for a moment - however, she couldn't understand anything.

This made her wonder very much, why was Mochi so fascinated by it? Could it be that she could actually understand the secrets of the equipment of these celestial people? From the fragmented "knowledge" in her mind, Snake Lori also knew that the technology of the celestial people was completely different from the earthly world. Over the years, although there have been occasional celestial people who have come to this world, they have not allowed the races in the earthly world to study the reason.

"Be careful, don't break the ......."

"It's already half a wreckage, so it's already in a 'damaged state', right?" Snake Lori sat down on the grass a little bored, she was still more used to the smell of dirt and grass in the wild than the area full of masonry in the city, "Mochi, what are you drawing?"

"I'm trying to draw the magic line here in the form of a floor plan. ”

As it turned out, Mochi's worries were unnecessary—Snake Lori did immediately distinguish the difference between her and Lynn, but she accepted her existence very calmly. Before, Mochi was worried that the other party would have some misunderstanding, but now it seems that it was completely a false alarm.

Thanks to the terrible student life she had endured in the past, Mochi found that she could still remember the power electronics she had learned in the first place, a series of subjects that had tormented her so much at the time, but now it was unexpectedly put to use.

Albeit at the source. There is a big difference between the material composition of the two worlds, and electricity and the magic of this world. It's not something that can be generalized. However, on the spoils of war from the people of the heavenly realm. Mochi found that in some basic concepts, the two still have a lot in common.

The basic concept of logic circuits can really be applied to the magic circuits on the equipment of these celestial people. It's just that because the system is completely different, Mochi still has to use his magic power to sort out the magic lines in this half of the armor little by little, so that he can figure out the structure a little.

Now that I think about it, I can figure out the structure of a set of equipment just by looking at a few circuit diagrams. It's a happy thing.

"In other words, how can these celestial people's equipment feel that the magic power line is so cumbersome?"

Mochi had been on the top of the drawing, and it had taken more than an hour, but she had only figured out less than a fifth of the structure, and she was far from being completely resolved, and now she felt a little at a loss to start.

This is not a complete piece of equipment, but just a half "backpack" that has been cut off by itself!

Mochi rubbed his eyes. I couldn't help but feel a sore pain in my eyes—the light source created by magic was not as good as the natural sunlight, and even the fluorescent lamp, which had been popularized in the other world. It's also quite inferior. Because magic is easily affected by the surrounding environment, the light source created by mochi magic is actually slightly shaking...... Reading work under such a strobe light source for a long time. Inevitably, there will be eye discomfort.

"If there was a more stable light source...... Alas, forget it. Or wait until daytime to make plans to ......"

"More stable? Snake Lori heard that Mochi wanted a more stable glowing point than the current magic light source, and immediately patted her small chest excitedly. "Leave it to me!"

"Huh?"

Snake Lori easily created a soft, bright and steady light source, Mochi blinked in surprise, looked down at the paper in his hand, and suddenly realized that the effect in his vision had become much more comfortable.

"Mochi, look! Isn't the light source I created soft and bright?"

Snake Lori looked like "I love to praise me", which made Mochi laugh - it's a pity that Snake Lori didn't have a "duang" sound effect to match the scene when she was making a light source.

"Well, it's like adding a stunt!

The excitement index on Snake Lori's face immediately increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. As the snake of the sun, it would be a breeze for her to create a light source suitable for human reading, even if she could magnify the intensity of this light by 10,000 times.

"Mochi, what is the meaning of these patterns? It doesn't look like the pattern of a magic array?"

The magic array is generally based on circles and triangles, but now the patterns on the paper that Snake Lori sees are mainly based on various straight lines, connecting a lot of simple graphics for unknown reasons, and on the whole, it also constitutes the feeling of a right-angled rectangle. Could this be some kind of special magic array?

Definitely not.

Although Snake Lori is not good at these, she can also see that the things drawn by Mochi do not reveal even a little bit of magical power - a truly complete magic array, even if it is just a pattern, has a lot of magic.

"This is an attempt to graphically express the lines of the magic of the celestial human system in this armor. Now, though, I'm in some minor troubles......"

Mochi looked at the somewhat unknowable wiring pattern with distress, and for the first time questioned the technology of the celestial people -- it was too redundant! She was already a little overwhelmed by the fact that she had only drawn a small part of the broken equipment with the electrical knowledge she had learned in the past.

In the past, the electrical wiring diagrams that mochi came into contact with were systematically simplified, so that you can get a glimpse of the whole picture. Although how to simplify the circuit has always been a headache for many students when learning, but when it comes to work, if the circuit diagram of those devices is not shown in a simplified way, but "carefully and carefully" all the details are not omitted...... Well, it's hugely informative. Enough for professional skilled workers to lift the table.

This is the case with mochi now.

Moreover, it is too redundant. The resulting loss is also quite a headache - although the mochi does not know about it. Whether the theory of electricity can be directly applied to magic, but according to her calculations, she found that if it is operated according to the actual wiring, the loss of magic power is not small.

A small part of the line wastes a lot of mana, so as a complete set of equipment of the Celestial Realm as a whole, the amount of mana wasted in the loss is definitely beyond the expectation and tolerance of mochi.

"These Celestial People. How long has it been since this kind of technology has been developed?" "Mochi heard that it seems that a long time ago, the people of the Celestial Realm possessed this kind of device that passed through the magic path machinery and enabled people to have the ability to fly in the sky, but no matter how Mochi looked at it, he didn't think that such a redundant configuration and a lot of wear and tear weapons and equipment would come from a technological system with a long enough history.

Not to mention, the military and the field of war. It will always be the priority area for the application of new technologies. Therefore, in the eyes of mochi, this kind of equipment has many shortcomings, theoretically. It should represent the highest technical power of a certain region of the Heavenly Realm.

It is impossible to say that the human beings of the world of Mochi in the past were amazingly intelligent and genius. And all of them in this other world are turtles with insufficient IQ balances, right? Mochi itself does not think that Huaxia Divine Skill can beat the power system of ten thousand years in another world. In the same way, I will not feel the IQ of these celestial people. Not even half of your own.

The things that Mochi learned at that time, in the final analysis, are actually the most shallow and simplest parts of a field that earthlings have explored for two or three hundred years. Earthlings can discover this, and there is no reason why people from other worlds can't reach a similar point after so many years of tossing.

"Could it be that in the civilization of the Heavenly Realm, there is actually something similar to a 'fault'?"

If the civilization of the celestial people is broken, there is a fault in the process of inheritance...... That might explain the mochi's confusion. Seriously, if it weren't for this kind of "force majeure" reasons, mochi would not have been able to find any other reason to explain.

"Let's not talk about that, I'll figure it out for a while—I'll figure it out then. ”

Mochi wasn't a research maniac, and the reason why he tried to parse this piece of Celestial equipment was out of curiosity, and he didn't have to work out a reason to be distracted by anything else - and, if anything, it was a trivial side quest...... If you forget the main story for this reason, it will be troublesome.

"Is there anything changing in the city?"

"As you left, I carefully inspected the entire city, and found that there were not a few people who carried the smell of the Heavenly Realm on their bodies - it is worth noting that I found that the areas where these suspected Celestial people were located seemed to be in the vicinity of the city guards. ”

"Uh...... Is this an opportunity to take the city?"

Hearing the news given by Snake Lori, Mochi said that he didn't understand - why did these celestial people come to the earthly world without anything to do, and they still wanted to seize a ...... by force Well, it's not a mochi in the dark, because she really didn't see what she could gain by capturing such a cheating city...... Even if the Celestials had plans to invade the earthly world, it would be too unreliable to choose such a place as a sentinel battle.

This city is because it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the geographical location is not special, and the transportation is not convenient, so as a border city, it will be so wasted - because the empire also thinks that if such a place is taken away, it will be easy to take it back...... And it is estimated that no enemy will want to waste their combat power here.

Besides, if the Celestial Realm really wanted to invade, they wouldn't just send such a few people. This is not a small organization in the shadow of so-and-so, although Mochi does not understand the overall strength of the people of the Heavenly Realm, but he still has the ability to launch an army with "ten thousand" as the counting unit.

"After you and that Celestial moved the battlefield outside the city, the Celestial people in the city slowly became alert. As far as I've seen, they're probably already trying to surround the sentry posts - but they don't have any intention of doing anything yet...... Well, it was like that then, and it's hard to say now. ”

"Is that all you found for now?"

"Hmm...... I've also confirmed the approximate location of the white hair we're looking for, but I can't do any further detection. That guy. I don't know what method was used, but I used several methods. I couldn't even get my eyeliner within fifty meters of her. As for observing her, it is even more impossible. ”

MOCHI IS NOT SURPRISED BY THIS - NONO'S ORIGIN AND SPECIFIC ABILITIES. In fact, it's still a mystery. Although Aisha restrained her, she didn't ask her too many questions, otherwise, NONO probably wouldn't have cooperated so cooperatively, right?

"That's enough......"

===================

What was the movement just now...... Sure enough, it's a weapon and equipment unique to the Celestial Realm......

NONO LOOKED UP AT THE NIGHT SKY THAT WAS CALM AGAIN, BUT HER HEART WAS NOT AT PEACE - SHE HAD BASICALLY SEEN THE CONFLICT BETWEEN MOCHI AND THE CELESTIAL PEOPLE BEFORE. If it weren't for Mochi's characteristic "half-dead" power (Mochi expressed strong protests), NONO would probably have subconsciously thought that the two celestial realms were tearing each other apart, right?

"That little girl, does she have such a strong force?"

Calculate in mind. How much energy is needed to maintain that kind of propulsion, and then calculate the pressure on the mochi's body at that speed...... She couldn't help but readjust her evaluation of mochi.

――No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a character that can be defined by the concept of "human".

AS FOR HOW MOCHI CAME INTO CONFLICT WITH THOSE CELESTIAL PEOPLE, NONO FELT THAT THERE WAS NO NEED TO WORRY TOO MUCH - ANYWAY, THIS LITTLE GIRL DIDN'T LOOK LIKE SHE WAS GOING TO SUFFER, AND IF SHE REALLY WANTED TO WORRY, IT WAS BETTER TO WORRY ABOUT THE CELESTIAL PEOPLE WHO HAD CAUSED SUCH A TROUBLESOME LORD.

They don't understand. But NONO understands - mochi is trouble, but it's not a character they can never win, but the problem is that behind mochi. There was also a ...... standing No, it could be two monsters! If something happened to Mochi, think of the picture of Aisha and Miss Purple Ponytail going into a rampage - tsk. It's horrible.

The monster that can catch the black hole cannon with his bare hands, it's better not to offend~

"It's really lively......"

NONO has sensed it acutely. The atmosphere in this city that has just experienced an earthquake has changed a little. NONO, who was born as a weapon of war (or a weapon of mass destruction). For this kind of taste, it is very, very sensitive. ALTHOUGH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR NONO TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE "GENTLEMEN, I LIKE WAR", IN SOME WAYS, SHE IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THE NEUROTIC NAZI OFFICER.

"Can't you be idle one by one?"

Whether it was the city lord himself, or the celestial people who came in disguise, it seemed that they were all starting to be "excited" because of the movement made by the mochi. Although these people's goals, means and scheming are different, one thing is surprisingly the same - it seems that they all like it very much, and treat others as fools~

"A smart person will know that he needs to leave a way out for those who are used by him...... So, who is the wise and who is the stupid?"

NONO looked at the diamond he was holding in his hand, thought about it, and crushed it - this was one of the "rewards" given by the city lord before, but it was a little different from the other "rewards", and among the diamonds that looked the most transparent and clear, there were other things hidden.

"It's a shame that I'm not human, let alone a citizen of the Empire...... Anyway, the remuneration has already been paid, and the 'extra service' will not be provided. ”

......

At the same time that NONO crushed the diamond, a certain city lord walking under the night couldn't help but stiffen his body. The sudden stop made the entourage behind him stunned.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"It occurred to me that if I were to reward those people, I should not be more sincere if I had to give them the gold coins first, and if I just threw out a blank check...... Well, even if we can give it to them tomorrow, will it displease those bloody stick boys?"

The city lord carefully considered the words and sentences, and in an attitude as smooth as possible, he proposed his own proposal: "Why don't we go back to my mansion first, take some gold coins, and give them to those young men on the spot?"

"I think this can be slowed down for a moment. It's a very moment, sir, and you're willing to run to visit those people in the middle of the night. They must have been grateful...... Even if you do give a blank check, I think they ......."

"Nonsense! How can you really give a blank check and not cash it!?"

After the entourage came up with some "bad idea". The city lord refuted her on the spot: "If I do this, I will set a bad example, in the future, if this matter spreads, if it is not good, no one will be willing to work for me so dedicatedly!"

"Yes, yes...... Sir, you're talking about ......"

......

[With such a bad idea, he shouldn't have suspected that I knew each other with those guards, right? If you don't know anything, you may expose your relationship with them. Although we may not know the identity of our celestial people, with the cautious eyes of those in power, there may be some other suspicions...... Hmph, this guy, do you really think that those people are really willing to give him their lives!?]

When the "entourage" was dismissive of the attitude of the city lord in his heart, he didn't expect that the city lord who was treated as a wine bag and rice bag by him on weekdays was in his heart. In fact, he is also playing his own small abacus......

[Sure enough, he really wants me to go to the place where those "guards" are...... Isn't what I'm worried about delusional? If those unknown people who have infiltrated this city are really ill-intentioned. I don't know how long the guard of the waste wood can resist...... It's really troublesome, if it weren't for the fear of being grabbed by pigtails. Why should I pretend to work so hard......]

This city lord didn't really have a forehead under his nose. There's no way to know. On the contrary, he did not know the true identity of these celestial people. But I also understand that there is a group of capable guys who have already mixed into the city.

After all, these people in the Heavenly Realm are too much to underestimate this seemingly wasted city lord.

[Alas, this is troublesome...... If something like this happens in my territory, it is estimated that it will give the souls that pit me at the beginning fade, and the days to come will be even more sad. 】

Recalling that he was high-spirited at the beginning, because of his improper appearance, he was "invited" out of the central power circle of the imperial capital, and was driven to this remote city like "exile", and the city lord felt helpless in his heart. In order to avoid continuing to fall from such an embarrassing position in the future, and finally being blackened to death by a suffocating stick, he has also shown his old face over the years, and he will come as he wants.

Then again, if it weren't for the gang of guys who wanted to deceive the imperial capital, he wouldn't have pretended to be so deflated...... Now, those guys who have other scheming to sneak in won't let their guard down so much, right?

I got a respite because I was treated as a fool.,It's really a face of Xiang and tears when you think about it.。

"But you're right—there's no need to rush out the gold coins at this time. Well, it's important to talk to the awesome lads about what's going on...... That's it, let's go to the medical center and see those boys first!"

The city lord pretended to be "hesitant again and again", he was not worried that his "initiative" to change his words would arouse the suspicion of the other party - anyway, as far as his usual appearance is concerned, the other party must have made up his own "psychological struggle" by himself~ In fact, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem strange, right?

The city lord carefully observed the facial expression of the "attendant" - he still caught the "surprise" in the other party's eyes the moment he changed his words and said his new decision.

It's still too tender after all, boy......

Will be surprised by this kind of thing.,As long as the brain isn't in the water.,I believe it's easy to associate something not very good...... As a high-ranking (in such a place) in power, even if he has no specific purpose, he has a very keen sense of smell for such events.

The reason why the city lord took the initiative to go to a dangerous place that can be said to be the "Longtan Tiger's Den" was, in the final analysis, that he still had the "chips" in his hand to give him self-confidence.

At least, in the eyes of this city lord, magicians with powerful and mysterious powers are still relatively close to ordinary people, and it is really much easier to communicate than those politicians whose thoughts in their heads and facial nerves are completely disconnected!

IF NONO HADN'T PASSED THROUGH THIS PLACE, MAYBE HE WOULDN'T HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO DO SO NOW...... But it's not the same anymore! Although it's not a heavyweight "bargaining chip." However, enough for him to become on the scales. The dominant side......

================

"It seems that we are worried. It's not delusional. ”

When she returned to Swain, she smelled a faint smell of blood coming from the city walls from a long distance - she stuck out her tongue and carefully checked it, and found that it was not her own delusion.

"I really can't figure out what these celestial people are doing!"

The life and death of those greedy city guards, to be honest, mochi don't care. In her opinion, these guys are full of flying and domineering aura. Although it can be said that "crimes do not lead to death", but after these small sins accumulate and form a thick dozen, no one can argue for these people "innocent".

What Mochi is really worried about is the civilians in the city now.

The first thing Serpent Lori noticed was the smell of blood, and Mochi didn't have as much of a sense of smell as she did in this regard, but Mochi also had his own specialty—from Swain. She could clearly feel that by now, there had been a considerable amount of "panic".

Obviously, the attack of the Celestials. Although it should not have been targeted at civilians first, how could normal people not be afraid at such a time? Even if those city guards had bullied them in normal times. But it doesn't mean that when they are killed. Clap your hands yourself - for even fools can see that these men who killed the city guards. Not a liberator, but a thug!

"I'm going to ...... Hmm!"

The mochi's footsteps were weak, and he almost fell to the ground. At this moment, her mood was undoubtedly very excited, worried about the civilians who had just experienced an earthquake and had not yet completely escaped the shadow of the earthquake, she wanted to rush over immediately, and those daring Celestial Realm people would be thrown off the city wall one by one...... However, her body, or Lin's body, was actually very weak and in urgent need of rest under the toss just now.

Because Lin is not a mochi, mochi was a warrior back then, but Lin was a mage with points......

"Tsk, why is it that at this time, the body has become a burden......

Mochi looked at the city wall in front of her unwillingly—if she was not bound by her body, she was now in the form of a spirit body, and she was completely able to fly directly to the city wall and destroy the clamoring celestial people one by one. However, Lin is now in a coma and resting, and as a half-spirit mochi, he can't rely on his own will and leave his body too far without Lin's active request.

"Damn it!"

The body can't lift much strength anymore. If it was Rin, even in this state, he would be able to rely on spells to carry out effective attacks, but Mochi was not good at these. What she is good at is to lift her weapon and rush forward to fight with people in close quarters, which is naturally fine when Lin is in good physical condition, but at this time, it is difficult for a strong man.

However, compared with Qi Lin, mochi is more in line with the character of "ancient road hot intestines".

After Lin stepped into the other world, she met Aisha, and in the next few years, she was also by Aisha's side, not to mention that her strength has made great progress, and in terms of mentality, she is more or less moving closer to Aisha - not that Lin's fiery heart has cooled down, but it is more or less affected by the profession of magician, and Lin is not very active in many cases. Perhaps, this is the common problem that most spellcasters have? It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, as a spellcaster, there will be a little bit of an escapist attitude.

Mochi, on the other hand, did not meet a noble person who could change the fate of her death while she was alive. For a long time, mochi has basically come by herself - poor her, let alone a wife when she was alive, how did she even talk about love! Obviously, when she was still a man, her appearance was not high, and she was not bad, her strength was so strong, and her three views were upright, why didn't any girl like her (him)?

...... Of course, that's not the point......

has always been a mochi who walks the world alone, and in terms of personal emotions, he is obviously more flamboyant than Lynn. It's just that after she became Lin's half-spirit, she didn't want to affect Lin's life too much, so she didn't show her personality too much. In her opinion, Lynn's three views are very good, and there is really nothing that needs to be corrected...... Hmm?The question of sexual orientation?No, no, no, if Lynn really likes men, Mochi won't be able to calm down!

...... Seems to be off topic again......

When he was alive, Mochi was a good young man who often fought against him, and now, even if he becomes an appendage of another self, this heart will not change. When he saw the atrocities that endangered innocent civilians, Mochi reflexively wanted to crusade against the evildoers, as he had done before.

However, she can't blame Snake Lori for why she didn't tell her about the situation earlier. The other party is not human, and Mochi feels that there is really no reason to force her to be an inhuman existence and abide by human morality. Snake Lori is essentially a good being, and Mochi is already very happy......

"Mochi, what should I do? I'm worried that if I make a move, I won't be able to control my strength and hurt innocent people......"

Snake Lori tried and attacked, but in the end, she stopped.

"Uh, why are you asking me this?"

"Because I also want to help those innocent people~! No matter what, it is unforgivable to hurt innocent people!"

Snake Lori's active attitude made the mochi a little unable to react for a while, but Snake Lori quickly poured cold water on the mochi's head again, "However, in my human form, the control of strength is not very good-I accidentally hurt Lin's soul before." ”

“......”

Indeed, with this lesson from the past, Mochi didn't dare to ask Snake Lori to make a random move - she hadn't forgotten how strict Lin's soul damage was!

"Now...... What to do?"

"Anyway, let's go in first...... Don't look at me like that, even if my body is weak, at least I still have the power to protect myself!" (To be continued......)
