Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1127 Winter Palace (9)

Cheng Mo didn't really believe in the words of the short scarecrow wearing a "child mask", but he didn't have many choices in the unfamiliar "Utopia", so he could only take one step at a time, agree first and then talk.So he pretended to think for a while, and said, "May I ask what your name is?"

"Name?" The dwarf scarecrow raised his hand and stroked his bare chin. He thought for a while before replying, "You can call me Zorro."

"Zorro?"

"Yes, good Zorro." The dwarf scarecrow waved his hand casually, and the "child mask" on his face became the black "Colombina" mask in the "Zorro" movie, and his movements were like face-changing in Sichuan opera.Then he briskly snatched the bowler hat from the head of Chernaberg next to him, and drew a stainless steel pick from nowhere, which looked like a banner on a bicycle tire. He took that banner as a long The sword danced several times in the air, and the silver light flashed in the air. He said loudly, "On the surface, I was Diego, pretending to be timid and afraid. But in the middle of the night, I put on makeup and set off, holding up the sharp sword Come and do justice." Then the scarecrow cut a "Z" on the ground and yelled Zorro's signature quote, "Who am I? Zorro!" A face-covering mask that covers only the eyes, nose, and upper part of the cheek. Usually decorated with gold, silver, crystal, and feathers; Zorro is a character in the Italian-French film Zorro starring Alain Delon )
Cheng Mo is definitely not the kind of person who judges people by their appearance, but right now, a dwarf dressed as a scarecrow in a tattered coat, pretending to be a chivalrous Zorro, is really childish and ridiculous.If it wasn't for the fact that Utopia must be filled with powerful chosen ones, Cheng Mo would definitely think that he was working as a kindergarten teacher in a kindergarten, but staring at the funny moves of the scarecrow dwarf, at this moment he can only cooperate with "Zorro" to act .

Speaking of which, the majestic black death demon god, the lord of the plague, Athena's husband was reduced to being an actor in the Utopia, which is really ridiculous.If you want to change someone, you may not be able to accept such a role change for a while, but Chengmo thinks about a certain actress who earns [-] million a day and [-] million for a play, and feels like an actress. In fact, it is a very happy thing.At least in other industries, it is not so easy to complete the class transition.

"Okay, Master Zorro." Cheng Mo stroked his chest, bowed slightly and said in a serious tone, "I think you still need a black cloak and a good western sword."

"You don't need to tell me, besides these, I also need a big black horse." Zoro inserted the rusty iron bar into the straw rope that was used as a belt around his waist, but the iron bar turned Without stopping for a second, it slid down and landed on the grain drying ground covered with stones. With a clang, Zorro didn't look at the iron bars that fell on the ground, and said brazenly, "Props, I can handle them to death." dead."

Cheng Mo thinks that the other party is very talented as a comedian, at least he has more potential than the clown Heath. The clown Heath is more suitable for acting in horror movies, unlike the scarecrow dwarf who is full of humorous bacteria.Cheng Mo asked sincerely: "Master Zorro, what kind of role should I play?" After a pause, he said apologetically, "I don't know much about the movie "Zorro"."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. I will rewrite the script. At that time, I will prepare costumes and props for you. You just need to take the script to figure out the role thoroughly and perform it well."

"No problem." Cheng Mo said, "But you should also tell me how you want to bring me into the universe thinking garden, right?"

Zoro said impatiently: "It's easy for me to go into that shitty place, and I promise to take you in after completing your performance task."

Cheng Mo said lightly: "Master Zorro, I hope we can make a contract."

"No problem." Zorro agreed without hesitation. He turned his head and looked at Chernaberg wearing a tuxedo. "Chernaberg, go to the room and get a contract paper, as well as pens and ink pads."

Chernabog turned around nimbly, and ran towards the thatched cottage, moving swiftly like an emperor penguin gliding on the ice.

Zorro's lack of hesitation gave Cheng Mo some confidence, so while waiting, he glanced at the chess piece fence beside him, pretending to inadvertently ask, "Why is the Universal Thinking Garden only open twice a year?"

"Because people who study mathematics don't need people, they don't need to go out, they just need numbers," Zorro said.

Cheng Mo thought of Athena, and shook his head, "Not necessarily, mathematics sometimes needs inspiration."

Zorro laughed "hehe" and said, "So they still open the door twice a year."

"Does the people in there only come out when the door is opened?"

"You can come out at any time, but except for the owner of the garden, or those who have received the invitation of the owner of the garden, if you want to go in, you can only wait for April Fool's Day and Halloween every year, and you have to do the questions given by those boring idiots to get in."

Zorro's tone was very disdainful, but he still recognized the owner of the "Universal Thinking Garden", so Cheng Mo said, "I think the owner of this garden must be a master in mathematics."

"It's not bad!" Zorro said, "It's a bit famous."

Cheng Mo asked with great interest: "Can you tell me your name?"

Zorro hesitated for a moment before speaking: "VIArnold"

"What? Vladimir Arnold of the Arnold-Liouville theorem?" Cheng Mo was shocked, "Isn't he dead?"

Zorro said meaningfully: "Maybe he would have died, but as long as he enters the Utopia, he won't die."

Cheng Mo never thought that one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century, Vladimir Arnold, known as the "Soviet Right Hand", would be in the Utopia.But after thinking about it carefully, there is actually nothing surprising, after all, this is a place where even gods and generals can be imprisoned.Cheng Mo was about to ask more about the "Garden of Cosmic Thinking" and Vladimir Arnold. The robot Chernaberg had already come out of the thatched hut with contract paper, pens and ink pads specially used for writing contracts. come over.

Zorro took the pen and paper from Chernaberger, walked to the coffee table next to the recliner, and began to write the content of the contract stroke by stroke. His handwriting was a bit scribbled, but not disorderly, with a messy aesthetic. .After finishing writing, he signed one of the duplicate copies, took out his Hermitage coat of arms from his pocket, pressed it on the ink pad, and then stamped the place where he signed, and signed the contract. Handed it to Cheng Mo, said briskly: "This is yours, just give me your signature and stamp."

Cheng Mo glanced at the contract paper, there was not much written on it, it just stated that on June 29th, Cheng Mo had to complete the task assigned to him by Zorro. After Mo completes the script task, he takes Cheng Mo into the "Garden of Cosmic Thinking".

Seeing that Cheng Mo's eyes fell on the signature "Zorro", Zorro explained: "The signature doesn't matter, as long as there is a badge and seal, you can also sign whatever name you want."

Cheng Mo let out an "oh", and he knew it well, but it was the first time he saw other people's badges, so he became interested in the row of numbers below the badge, and he thought that row of numbers should not be Random, it must mean something, but there are too few examples to refer to right now, and it's hard for him to speculate too much.

After carefully reading the content of the contract again, Cheng Mo still did not sign, but said: "One more thing, the content of the script does not violate the "Utopia Code". If the content of the script violates the "Utopia Code", Party A needs to modify the content. If Party A refuses to amend, even if Party B cannot complete the contract, Party A still needs to perform the contract.”

"Yes~!" Zorro snapped his fingers, as if he remembered something important, "Haha, this is indeed a very important sentence. We are all good citizens who abide by the laws and regulations of Utopia!"

Cheng Mo didn't believe that Zorro didn't even think of this, he secretly raised his vigilance towards Zorro again.Staring at Zoro and adding this sentence, Cheng Mo reviewed it twice and added some details. Under Zoro's impatient urging, he did not find any other problems before he signed his name and stamped it. Badge seal.

After Chengmo signed and stamped, Zorro put away his contract with satisfaction, and laughed happily with his arms akimbo. He laughed so unscrupulously that the open field was full of his weird laughter. .

This nervous laughter made Cheng Mo a little creepy. He looked at Zorro who wanted to kneel down on the ground, and then looked at the contract in his hand, wondering if he had been fooled, but the contract was really fine, so he was suspicious. Asked: "What makes Master Zorro smile so happily?"

"It's nothing." Zorro leaned back and laughed while holding his stomach, "It's just that no one has acted with me for a long time. In the past, I could only play against Chernaberg. It was too boring. Artificial intelligence has always been It's artificial intelligence, but it's just manipulating the puppet show, it doesn't have the thrill of acting."

Cheng Mo was suspicious, but he didn't know why the other party was laughing, so he thought that as long as he resolutely refrained from doing things that violated the rules of the Utopia, the other party would not be able to do anything to him.Facing the crazy Zorro who was laughing, he said calmly, "I hope I can satisfy Master Zorro."

Zorro coughed, restrained himself a little, and said with a smile, "There's nothing else to do. Come here on the 27th to get the script."

"Why is the show on the 29th?"

"Because that day is Ms. Chloe's birthday, the palace will hold a grand dinner, and most people from Utopia will attend." Zoro raised his head and turned around in a circle, "Since you choose to stand on the stage, Of course it needs the largest audience."

Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, and first thought, maybe Yan Funing would come, but if the "Universal Thinking Garden" can only go out but not in, it's hard to be sure.He still felt strange in his heart, Yan Funing was studying mathematics, and it was normal to stay in the "Garden of Cosmic Thinking" and not want to come out, but did he give up and escape after entering Utopia?Do you even struggle?Cheng Mo's heart is full of questions, but all these questions can only be answered when he finds Yan Funing.

"Okay, you can leave now." Zorro said.

Cheng Mo paused his thinking and said, "Then I'll come over on the morning of the 27th."

Zoro nodded, ignored Cheng Mo, and walked towards his thatched hut.Czernaberg, who was wearing a tuxedo, followed Zorro into the thatched cottage.

There was a singing voice inside, and Zorro began to sing an Italian opera that Mo had never heard before.

Cheng Mo listened for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the hotel along the country road covered with gravel.The afternoon sun is still strong, surrounded by a piece of wind and sunshine pastoral scenery.Walking in front of the black and white chessboard iron gate, Cheng Mo stopped again for a moment, looking at the magnificent and strange scenery, but still did not see anyone, he thought: Maybe for mathematics lovers, this place is indeed a paradise
--------------------------------

At night, Cheng Mo finally saw the starry sky. I don't know if it was the weather or something last night, the sky was covered by a cloud.There are no dark clouds tonight, and the sky is clear.

But unlike what Cheng Mo thought, even if there is no light pollution in Utopia, the starry sky still looks empty and far away, and it is difficult to observe a clear starry sky.Cheng Mo stood by the window and tried his best, but he didn't see the most sought-after Polaris.

The Polaris could not be observed in June, which allowed Cheng Mo to roughly judge that he was in the southern hemisphere.Not being able to see Polaris is a trouble for Cheng Mo, because it is relatively easy to judge the direction according to Polaris. Generally speaking, the height of Polaris relative to the ground depends on the latitude of the observer. For example, if you are in Beijing, Polaris will be in the north. About 40 degrees off the ground.At the North Pole, the North Star will be overhead (Zenith).Assuming that Cheng Mo is near the equator now, the Polaris should just lie on the horizon; but in the southern hemisphere, the Polaris will never rise above the horizon, so the Polaris will never be visible in the southern hemisphere.It is theoretically possible to see Polaris within about half a degree south of the equator, but it is very difficult because it is so close to the horizon.

There is no "South Pole Star" in the southern hemisphere, but there are still iconic constellations like the Big Dipper, which is the "Southern Cross constellation" that people in the northern hemisphere cannot observe. This constellation can be seen on the national flags of many countries in the southern hemisphere. In the age of great voyages, adventurers used the Polaris and sextant to determine the latitude and longitude of the ship's position at night in the northern hemisphere, while in the southern hemisphere they used the Southern Cross.

The problem is that Cheng Mo is not that familiar with the starry sky in the southern hemisphere, and cannot judge his approximate position through the starry sky with the naked eye.However, even familiarity is not so useful, because to determine the exact latitude and longitude, a sextant must be used.

Cheng Mo knew how to make a sextant, but it would be useless without the tools at hand, and it would be a waste of time to make sure that he couldn't pass it on.This made Cheng Mo temporarily let go of the idea of ​​determining his position.But he can't just count on Zorro, he must find other ways to deepen his understanding of the Utopia.Thinking of Sis Raberg's introduction, Cheng Mo decided to go to the bar to have a look. He found the bar called "Black Dream" on the map, but found that the door of the bar with bright neon lights read "Open to members only". Cheng Mo had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​entering the bar and returned to the hotel after seeing the black super special police guard with live ammunition.

In the next few days, Cheng Mo tried to travel all over the Utopia, but found that this task was impossible, because too many places belonged to private territories, and he had no way to enter, even getting close to the legendary poisonous fog. impossible.As for other people, Cheng Mo also saw them occasionally, but they were all far away. He greeted him, but no one paid attention to him.And the weekend dance party that Lermontov said happened to be closed for a week in the week he came, saying it was for Chloe's birthday.

It was so unfortunate that Cheng Mo didn't break the rules, but continued to understand Utopia within the scope of the rules. The more he studied, he found that his understanding of Utopia was too shallow.In addition to checking the Utopia, he also stayed in the "Universal Thinking Garden" for many days, but he still didn't see anyone.So on the 27th, he came to the thatched cottage again, and there was already a tall and handsome mechanical black horse outside the house.
