46. Undercurrents
Aisha deeply felt that there was a big difference between herself and NONO on the three views. For a moment, Aisha began to wonder if she was cognitively different from the ordinary world-the stupid snake Lori had already dealt a great blow to her three views, and now, NONO called two things "toys......
"Is this really a 'toy'?"
Aisha knows that there are many "toys" that need batteries to power them - but even if the technology level is raised by a notch or two, the energy power of electric toys should not be powered by nuclear energy, right!?
Aisha, who was worried that her eyes were hallucinating, deliberately rubbed her eyes and checked the two "toys" that NONO took out to show off...... The result is still the same as before - these two little things, one black and one white, seem to be really nuclear energy!
"You put two nuclear reactors in a pile of waste......
IF NONO REMEMBERS CORRECTLY, NONO SEEMS TO HAVE SAID THAT THE RAW MATERIALS OF THESE TWO "TOYS" ARE A WEAPON THAT SHE HAS BEEN DECOMPOSED AND DESTROYED, RIGHT?
Is this a toy or a bomb...... Aisha had already subconsciously taken two steps back.
"No, not what you think. β
SEEING THAT AISHA WAS SO WARY OF RABBI AND MOBI, NONO QUICKLY EXPLAINED: "THE FACT IS THAT THESE TWO MINIATURE NUCLEAR REACTORS ARE THEMSELVES TWO 'PARTS' OF THAT WEAPON, AND AFTER KELLY DISMANTLED THE WEAPON AT THAT TIME, THESE TWO REACTORS FORTUNATELY DID NOT SUFFER ANY DAMAGE. So I took the nearest materials and sealed them off first. Finally. Because the structure of the weapon is almost destroyed, it is impossible to reassemble it. I'm going to transform them into two AI ...... like they are now."
So that's the case?
"I said it earlier, I'm still worried about this, I'm worried about that...... Wait, you said those two nuclear reactors were originally housed in those weapons?"
"That's right. β
β......β
It was unscientific not to cause the Big Bang at the time. However, if you think about it from another angle, although I don't know what the weapon NONO is talking about, it is absolutely impossible to be so fragile with two miniature nuclear reactors, right?
What kind of black technology is this Nima!
"Don't worry, with my technical skills. The fission-style reaction is completely under control, and there will be no surprises. β
NONO said confidently, and at the same time knocked the two chubby electronic "pets" (seeing that they have a certain intelligence, Aisha thinks it should be closer to the nature of "pets"): "Look, even if you hit the shock so hard, it won't explode!"
It's really convincing, but before it proves reliable, it's enough to frighten the crowd of onlookers, right?
Aisha panicked and retrieved an animatronic pet from NONO's hand. While observing closely, NONO continued to do some heart-wrenching behaviors - intellectually, Aisha actually knew that NONO was capable of using an attack method like a black hole cannon. There must be a perfect way to control the nuclear reactor...... However, such behavior is still too irritating to people's nerves.
"The white one...... What's it called?"
"It's Rabbi!" Seeing that Aisha seemed to be very interested in her rabbi-chan, NONO was also excited. "Aisha, do you think the rabbi is cute?"
Lovely......
Aisha really couldn't stand NONO's expectant gaze - it was already difficult for an ordinary girl to resist if she did this, let alone her. NONO is also a typical pseudo-no-nothing girl, with her cold doll-like delicate face. Making such a move really made Aisha a little unbearable.
Well, I have to admit that in fact, these two electronic pets made by NONO can actually be described as "cute". Although it is made of steel, these two little guys have no edges and corners at all, and they have been polished round and fat, and the overall shape also shows a kind of honest cuteness. But the problem is, as long as normal people know that there is a miniature nuclear reactor hidden under this cute appearance, it is probably difficult to treat it as an ordinary "toy" and "pet", right?
No matter how much NONO makes security assurances, it won't be of much use.
"It's very cute......
In Aisha's heart, an idea suddenly came to her at this time - Rabbi and Mobi, the looks seem to be made according to the aesthetics and hobbies of relatively young girls, so according to this, they should have a good attraction to little girls...... I don't know, what kind of attitude does that stupid snake have towards these two electronic pets?
"Hmm, there's something like a button here......
"Aisha, don't press itβ"
Before NONO could finish speaking, Aisha had already pressed her finger - with a piercing electric sound, Aisha felt a violent electric shock to her hands, and suddenly her paralyzed hands were released, and the white rabbi was wrapped in an arc of electricity and fell to the ground.
The high temperature after ionization burned through the floor in an instant.
"Stop!"
NONO hurriedly shouted to the rabbi who had happened - probably voice-activated or something, NONO just shouted, and the rabbi who kept "leaking" regained his calm.
"So, is this a 'toy'?"
Aisha thought back to the shock she had just received...... It's really worthy of nuclear power generation, full of power, with the destructive power that came out in a hurry just now, maybe you can corona the dragon clan with more effort?
"Uh...... I thought about making Rabbi and Mobi into weapons, and although I did make them look like this, some of the 'necessary' functions have been left behind - Aisha, you accidentally touched the mode switch just now. β
Defining a "toy" and adding the function of such a powerful weapon was a design problem from the beginning.
"But. Isn't it common to hide weapons as everyday tools?" NONO looked at Aisha in bewilderment. "For example, dressing up a grenade to look like a doll, transforming an automatic firearm into a briefcase, etc......"
This...... Aisha found NONO's words to make sense. What if it's hard to refute? But the question is, the two examples given by NONO are not the thoughts of good law-abiding citizens, right? Even people who have the opportunity and qualifications to regularly come into contact with firearms and other violent weapons usually do not think so, and there is such "common sense......
"Sure enough, I didn't see the wrong person. β
This time, Aisha agrees with her own selection of people - with NONO's character, it is only fitting that she should cause sabotage.
"You're right!"
......
The earthquake caused by Snake Lori came so suddenly, not to mention the small historic village at the foot of the "Throat of the World" mountain, because the epicenter was on the surface. Those towns more than ten kilometers away were also suddenly attacked by natural disasters.
For the first time in their lives, many of the poor people who lamented their poverty felt that their dilapidated and simple huts were so lovely, right? Compared with the rich people's property on a large scale, the simple houses that leaked on rainy days caused relatively less damage after they collapsed.
Especially the poor whose roofs were made of thatch......
Due to the poor quality of the houses themselves, almost none of these houses were able to support them and were reduced to rubble during the earthquake. But because of this, although it was inevitable that some injuries would be suffered in the collapse of the house, there were not many lives.
The human beings of this world have an average physique element. In the end, it is better than that of the Earth Monarch - unless they are hit on the head by a falling wooden beam, these poor families are not in danger of dying. And the opposite. Those rich and noble families who lived in mansions and traveled generously in the past. The casualties were not light.
It's also normal to think about the rooftops of some rich people's homes. They are all taller and thicker than the houses of poor families, and such a large lump of bricks, tiles, mud and stones is tilted down, and it must be more than auspicious to be buried. It is also a shame that this world is a fantasy world with magic, and there are many magicians and swordsmen among the rich families, and what they have learned in the past is put to use at a critical juncture, otherwise, there will definitely not be only so many casualties.
"What the hell is going on!" A city lord who had narrowly escaped the catastrophe because he was out on an errand, looked at the city lord's palace that had become a ruin, and couldn't help but jump like thunder, "Earthquake...... Why did the earthquake happen all of a sudden!?What are the guys from the Earthquake Detection Bureau doing!?"
Based on the development of magical civilization, earthquakes caused by the movement of tectonic plates underground, from the beginning of its birth, it has been difficult to hide the ears and eyes of those advanced earth magic masters. In the eyes of those who have been immersed in the earth for many years and it is not difficult to communicate with the earth, even if it is dozens of kilometers away, the huge energy at the source of the earthquake is almost as dazzling and eye-catching as day.
I don't know when, but there was a great magician with compassion for the heavens and people, and he called on his colleagues to spend a little effort to detect the threat from the underground and reduce the number of people killed by natural disasters such as earthquakes as much as possible. Although not many people responded at the time, the fact that those great magicians were not interested does not mean that the rulers of various countries are not interested in it.
For those rulers, natural disasters such as earthquakes were definitely more troublesome than droughts and floods, which were terrible, but at worst they required a process of accumulation of time, and there was still room for remedy when they occurred. However, an earthquake is different, and once it happens, it can only be rescued......
What pressured rulers was that natural disasters such as earthquakes were often seen as a curse because of their devastating power. In such a world, where there is magic and gods, the height that human beings can reach is quite terrifying, so natural disasters such as earthquakes, which cannot be fought against by human beings, are often regarded as the wrath of a certain god. If this is the case, it will be simple, but the trouble is that the root cause of the occurrence of "heavenly punishment" is often moved closer to the direction of "the ruler's immorality".
It's unbearable.
Except for a few isolated cases, most of the kings and lords have a lot of weakness after all-being - they are put on a big hat of "immorality", and to be honest, they themselves are not cheeky to deny. After all. If it's really like the rare Mingjun who appeared in those stories, even if there is a natural disaster. It's rare for people to put on the heads of rulers, right? In other words, those who are called "immoral." It's not very clean in itself - + I don't dare to say anything else, I must have provoked a lot of resentment among civilians in normal times.
Just like the current city lord...... It is estimated that he is used to being powerful and lucky, but this time after seeing his splendid castle collapse, countless civilians whose homes were destroyed and injured suddenly felt that this world was not bitter at all.
"That's a lot of money that usually spends on those mages! Why didn't they warn them about this earthquake at all? I need to explain!"
Because of the destructive power of the earthquake (in every sense), the rulers regarded it as the most terrible beast of the flood - many people lost their seats because of this thing! Many rulers are very "self-aware" and spend a lot of money to recruit talents for earthquake detection. If an earthquake can be predicted in time, not only can it avoid the subsequent turmoil, but it may also be grateful to Dade by those "Diao people" who have escaped the disaster - wouldn't it be wonderful to kill multiple birds with one stone?
That being said, but judging from the current situation, the Earthquake Detection Bureau, which has spent a lot of money, has invested a lot of manpower and material resources...... But it didn't work.
Earthquakes are not a common disaster (in one Pacific island nation), and it is likely that a lord may not have been hit by an earthquake in his lifetime. But if you can never experience such "stimulation" for the rest of your life. I believe that most rulers will still be willing to spend this price to buy a peace of mind. And if in your lifetime, an earthquake is accurately predicted. If you dodge it effectively, it makes you feel like it's worth the money, isn't it?
But the question is...... What if you spend money and don't get the desired results?
The appearance of this city lord at the moment. It is the most convincing evidence - only seeing the appearance and demeanor that he still maintained in the past, the assassins have been completely forgotten by him. He was clutching his attendants by the collars in a thunderous manner, as if it weren't the high-ranking mages who were making seismic observations. It's this poor punching bag.
Well, this city lord really doesn't care about finding those mages to scold the streets...... Don't kill yourself by the earthquake, but you were rewarded with a fireball by the angry Fa Master.
The poor attendant was so dizzy that he couldn't resist his immediate superior. In a hurry, he suddenly thought of a way to divert his attention: "Old ...... I think there's something strange about this!"
"The castle has been shattered, what is the strange thing!"
The city lord's anger was even stronger, but this entourage was not frightened by this anger to the six gods and no master, and when he had an idea in his heart, he was really not afraid of such a waste wood city lord who had no ability except for showing off and grabbing merit.
"Master Mingjian! I actually found something suspicious!" "Anyway, it's always right to slap the other party on the back, "Master, our palace has considered the problem of earthquake defense when it was built! It stands to reason that the protective magic means blessed in it are enough to resist a medium-range earthquake, even if it is a rare earthquake, it will not cause such severe damage!" But sir, look at the houses of those untouchables, with that kind of damage, this earthquake will definitely not have the power to destroy the palace!"
Eh, that seems to be the case......
The lord's castle, at the beginning of its construction, took into account the factors of these natural disasters. Generally speaking, an ordinary earthquake is unlikely to cause a devastating blow to it.
But this time......
"Could it be...... Was there a deliberate attack!?"
The entourage dragged a perfunctory smile, and he had long despised this city lord in his heart. This city, to put it bluntly, is just a small town in a remote area, the economy is not developed, and the culture is just like that. It's just that such a city that should be regarded as a poor area has a magnificent palace of the city lord, and people who don't know think that this is a first-tier city.
It is conceivable that it is quite normal for this city lord to usually fish up a lot of oil and water, and how much fat and ointment he has looted, and his heart is weak and prone to paranoia of being killed. But the problem is that this guy is very greedy, but he has not reached the bold Cheng dΓΉ, and the money that hurts the muscles and bones has never dared to mess around - so the disaster relief money is truthfully distributed to the residents. Emergency food is also a lot when it should be distributed. Although the people of the city were disgusted with this straw bag, they did not regard him as an enemy of the world.
Because under his rule. No matter what happens to the poor families, they can still guarantee that they will receive relief food and will not be unable to survive.
So sometimes, cowardice is not necessarily a bad thing - maybe the city lord is only worried that after making certain moves, if he is exposed one day in the future, he will be ruined and killed, and he didn't think so much at all, but he inadvertently left himself a way out.
At least, because everyone still has a way to live. There would not really be a desperate person who would seek revenge against him in anger - then again, if that happened, how could a poor man destroy a palace?
"Sir, this is not a bad thingβthis is a good opportunity!"
"Huh, your brain won't burn out, will you?"
was so questioned by a waste wood whose actual intelligence was far inferior to his own, and the entourage actually wanted to give him a brick, but he still had to beg for food under the other party, so he could only endure it.
"The palace is nothing left to rebuild, but. A good reputation is not easy to come by. And now, it's a good opportunity to make a name for yourself!"
"Reputation, where do I have a good reputation here...... You don't mean to scold me, do you?"
You're still a little self-aware!
The entourage couldn't help but sneer, it seems that this city lord, although his personality is a little greedy. I'm a little timid, my brain is a little slower, but I still have some sense. That's probably because of that. So he embezzled a lot of money, but he didn't cross the real thunder line. I'm still doing well.
"No, no, no, sir, you're mistaken - I'm not talking about the reputation here. It's the reputation of a place a little higher, a little farther away......"
"You mean...... Where is the imperial capital!?"
It is said that no matter how wasteful a person is, he also has a specialty, and although the city lord in front of him can not be called "smart", as long as it comes to the place where he is promoted and rich, his thinking will run at three times the usual speed - although it is still not high, it is at least considered to be average, and it is not easy......
"Master Mingjian!"
"But, how should this be done? Isn't it like an earthquake hasn't happened, and I haven't seen any of my colleagues promoted?" the city lord looked at his entourage suspiciously, "There are quite a few people, because of the earthquake, some things on weekdays have been shaken out, and in the end, nothing good will end!"
"Well...... Master, have you ever contributed to disaster relief funds and food?"
"That's death, even I won't move. β
"Is there any delay in the livelihood project?"
"Not to mention anything else, at least no matter how poor my family is, there is a house to live in!"
But in this case, it is much better than the people who have to eat and sleep in the open in some places, because of the remoteness of the area, the population is not tight, and there is still an area in the city that can be planned to house the poor.
"What about our city, the city defense project?"
"It's a matter of life, of course, I don't dare to be the slightest sloppy. β
Remote areas, in addition to being far away from the imperial capital, mean closer to foreign countries and races. If there were a war one day, this would be the place where the first people were shot! For this reason, even if the lord of the city was greedy, he did not dare to do anything about the defense of the city, the walls were solid, and they were not damaged much in this earthquake. And the arrears of military payments, which appear in many places, do not appear here.
"Isn't this right? The common people can live their lives, and the military appearance and armament can't find any flaws, and you haven't done anything to cross the thunder pool, so what are you afraid of?"
"But, don't I usually be greedy for a lot of money......
"The city lord's palace has been destroyed, what are you worried about, master?" the entourage glanced at the city lord, his eyebrows were full of obscene smiles, "If it weren't for the fact that the lord is usually diligent in political affairs and doesn't even have much spare money to repair the mansion, how could it collapse along with those private houses in this earthquake?"
β......β
The city lord's eyes suddenly lit up--yes! Why didn't he think of this stubble!?His biggest hidden danger, the magnificent palace, had already been destroyed in the earthquake, hadn't it?
"Although I don't know why the palace was collapsed. But this is an opportunity! First of all, there was a disaster like an earthquake. It must be instructed by the central government, and the imperial capital came to investigate the scene. It's not hard to find out your situation, sirβas long as you make a little bit, they'll only notice how 'miserable' you are now. I don't care about what happened to you before...... Besides, those untouchables are now waiting for disaster relief money, so how can they get anything else? Master, you still have a good reputation in this regard, and I believe that no one will worry that this time you will be greedy for ink and report it, right?"
In fact, ordinary people, as long as they can live, will have very strong endurance. Their homes were destroyed and they were waiting for rescue. As long as you know that this city lord will not be greedy for life-saving money and food, you can wait with peace of mind. If this is placed in some other places where corruption is more severe, I am afraid that the moment the people of the imperial capital come here, they will be surrounded by the grievance group.
The faint of heart, in fact, is not completely without advantages.
"So, during this period of waiting for people from the imperial capital to come, you have to pay attention, sir, to have a good relationship with those untouchables that you look down on on weekdays. β
The entourage glanced at the city lord meaningfully, and saw that the other party did not resist much. Instead, he looked at himself expectantly, and continued: "Those people, in fact, only know that your mansion is gorgeous, but they don't know how much money is spent on it. Right now. When your mansion is destroyed, in a sense, you will become a person who 'shares weal and woe' with those people...... It's not a saying. The most intimate relationship is to carry a gun together. Have you ever prostituted yourself or squatted in a class together? It is easy for people to regard those who suffer with them as companions. Sir, you haven't really aroused public anger in normal times, and it's not difficult to get their approval during this time. β
"Why should it be recognized by some untouchables?"
"Because nine times out of ten, the surveyors in the imperial capital will be more willing to believe those ...... than the words of our people Well, untouchables. Master, you must pay attention these days, and you must not come out of your mouth with words like 'untouchables' and 'Diao people'! Whether you can leave this poor country or not depends on this move!"
Get out of this backcountry with not much oil and water!
The lord of the city has already been tempted by this condition.
"Okay! What do you say I should do! If I soar this time, keep you and follow me in the future, eat and drink spicy!"
"That's that, the future of the next, but it's all up to the master~"
The entourage looked at the city lord, who had already given his trust to himself, who had only known him for a week, and a sneer faintly appeared on the corner of his mouth - greedy guy, he is really good at mastering his mind.
......
AISHA WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THAT SOME OF THE LITTLE THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON IN THIS TOWN, AND THAT SHE WAS BUSY DEALING WITH A STUPID SNAKE THAT WAS STILL UNCONSCIOUS WITH NONO.
"This is what Aisha calls a 'little ghost'?"
NONO stared at the body of the huge snake below, measured its length and width, and turned to look at Aisha, "It's not small at all, okay?"
"Oh, after all, this is the body, in fact, this guy is just a child...... When she wakes up, you'll know if she's in human form. β
As long as this stupid snake doesn't forget that even if a woman has Ou Jinjin, she can't conceive on her own - there is an extra handful of little Lori with a soft voice, and Aisha feels that it is really necessary to clean up her memories when the time comes...... That picture was so beautiful that when I see the snake now, I still think of the blind shape in my mind...... and the shocking scene that followed.
As soon as she thought of this, Aisha suddenly felt a little pain between her legs.
"NONO, WAIT A MINUTE, I'LL WAKE UP THIS IDIOT. β
"Wake up?"
NONO looked at the serpent's head below, and couldn't imagine how Aisha could "wake up" it. The snake's head, which was nearly twenty meters wide, was larger than the Aisha people in its closed eyelids alone. Ordinary means must not be able to wake up the other party - so what method does Aisha have to use?
I saw Aisha lower her body, landed next to the snake's head, took out an orange stone, and stuffed it into the snake's mouth.
"What's that......"
NONO tries to retrieve the true face of the "mysterious" ore that Aisha has stuffed into the other's mouth...... DID NONO HERSELF BE SCARED BY THIS RESULT, SHE WASN'T MENTALLY PREPARED TO FIND THE ANSWER.
"That's ...... Cockscomb?"
After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be a piece of realgar? and so on...... Stuffing a piece of realgar into a snake's mouth?
IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR NONO TO SEE THE BIG SNAKE IN A COMA, ITS BODY TWITCHING VIOLENTLY, AS IF IT HAD BEEN ELECTROCUTED, SHAKING VIOLENTLY. For a while, the earthquake that had subsided had subsided reappeared, but it was not as bad as the previous fall - well, this is also in line with the table of many "aftershocks" after the earthquake, I believe that those who have suffered from the earthquake can understand it now, right?
(Understand your sister...... οΌ
The serpent struggled for a moment, and finally opened its breathtaking eyes, but at the moment there was no majesty in its eyes, and they were full of panic and disgust. When the serpent regained consciousness, it kept sticking out its tongue, and this posture was quite like the author of the death trying to make heavy spicy dandan noodles......
Probably because he found that in the form of a big snake, sticking out his tongue had no effect at all, and soon, the huge snake body disappeared in a flash of light, and was replaced by a naked, twitching little Lori.
"I can't stand the smell anymore......! I actually swallowed it! Woo, all the nasty smell in my throat now!"
Aisha focused on Lori's lower body - well, there was no Euginkin this time, and the tragic wound from before was completely gone at this moment...... This is quite normal.,With the ability of this stupid snake,It's really easy to heal a wound.,If it weren't for the previous stupid Lori who died by himself.,There are so many things at all.γ
"Yo~ are you awake?"
"I ...... I don't think I've accidentally eaten something strange! Now my mouth is full of smells - help me! I don't want to eat and swallow such a bad smell in the future!"
The snake Lori pounced on the body of the "acquaintance" Aisha and looked at Aisha pitifully.
ββIt's just swallowing a small piece of realgar, is that an exaggeration?
Aisha has no sense of being a perpetrator, and looking at the pitiful appearance of the snake Lori, she can't help but have a trace of evil thoughts in her heart - well, it seems that it can be easily abducted...... (To be continued......)
