Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6578 Cognition
Anada was somewhat disdainful of Zena's preaching. Their actions had already proved their loyalty. He couldn't criticize and educate them endlessly just because of his hobby.

The war has made people very tired, so they rely on this kind of leisure and entertainment to calm their minds. Without this, the taut string might have broken long ago.

I like Han princesses, and most of my brothers like them, even His Majesty Vasudeva likes them if he can honestly say so. You don’t like them, but who do you think you are? Those who don’t like them are heretics. The gentlemen of the Northern Nobles like Han princesses, that is a symbol of orthodoxy, what do you care about me?

Zena stopped after preaching for a few words, and Anada did not dwell on the matter. Instead, he talked about the Han Dynasty asking them for help. Zena did not make any special comments on this and agreed to the plan almost as Anada expected.

Just as Yin Luo speculated, if he said this, it would be easy to cause rebellious psychology among the old Kushan soldiers. But if Anada said it, there would be no doubt about it. After all, the Kushan came here to kill locusts. If there were better means to kill locusts, regardless of the hostility between the two sides, the Kushan would definitely agree. After all, the locusts took off on a large scale, and the Kushan would definitely be the second most severely hit.

What's more, it is a recognized fact in the Kushan Empire that the men love the Han princesses. The reason they haven't defected now is because of patriotism. Betraying the country for the princess is against loyalty and filial piety, but making some sacrifices for the princess while in Kushan means satisfying both loyalty and filial piety, right?
Being loyal to Your Majesty and filial to ancestors, isn't that wonderful?

After chatting with Zena for a few words, Anada left with his head held high and a smug look on his face, carrying his secret mirror. Zena sat on a mat beside him with his eyes closed, as if he was resting, or as if he could not change the idiots around him and chose to turn a blind eye.

"It's almost done, Zena." While activating the secret mirror, Gu Laili said to Zena without raising his head. Zena half closed his eyes, looking confused.

"Anada is not here. If you are curious and want to see it, just come and see it yourself." Gu Laili curled his lips and said, "Anada can't sense your elite talent spying on you because of his talent structure, but it doesn't mean that I can't sense it."

Zena was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he was caught peeping and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Zena hesitated when he heard this, then he closed his eyes and reached out to Gu Laili. Gu Laili took out seven or eight secret mirrors from his arms and stuffed them directly into Zena's hand. Zena was silent for a while and said, "I have seen all of these, except the new one."

"Give me the whole big projection screen. The secret magic mirror is only the size of a palm and it's really uncomfortable to look at." Gu Laili ordered Zena in a bad mood.

"Fuck, no wonder you don't watch with us, you just watch the big projection screen?" Gu Laili looked at Zena with an unhappy face and immediately understood Zena's thinking - why should I watch your 8P when I can watch 720K ultra-high definition, doesn't this pollute my eyes?
"Gu Laili, you underestimate me." Zena sneered and said, "What's the big projection screen?"

Gu Laili looked at Zena speechless. He was truly convinced that this guy really had something wrong with him.

"I am also a Beigui, why shouldn't I watch it?" Facing Gu Laili's questioning eyes, he understood everything instantly, and then said disdainfully, "Recall what I said before, did I say I wouldn't watch it? I said that Young Master Anada should communicate with the Han Dynasty, did I say a word about whether to watch this thing or not? You watched next to me again and again, did I care? I didn't."

Gu Laili didn't know how to respond to Zena's confident words. He lowered his head to look at the scene where Liu Tong walked out of the Wanxiang Temple, wearing a bright red wide-sleeved dress, accepted the salute from the court officials, raised his hand and stood up. He temporarily stopped the playback of the secret mirror and began to recall what happened to Zena when he was watching the secret mirror.

Otherwise, the clarity of the human figure and other aspects will be problematic when it is just magnified, and it may even be worse than watching it on a small magic mirror. But Zena is different. Zena's light and shadow manipulation can even repair the information carried by the light and shadow stored in the magic mirror and restore it with high precision. If the magic mirror is 1080P, Zena can at least do 4K, and even at any cost, 8K ultra-high definition can be produced for you.

Zena was confident, "What's wrong? I can't say anything. Did I say you can't watch it? I'm asking you idiots to communicate with the Han Dynasty, not to stop you from watching the princess. I'm just pointing fingers from the moral apex. What's the problem? This is my only hobby. I'll watch it too. I have such an amazing talent for light and shadow control, which allows me to watch it while you watch it. By the way, I can also burn the arcane mirror, and light and shadow control can also record in high definition. Are you envious? Anyway, you can't do it.

This time it was Gu Laili's turn to be silent. It seems that you have appreciated all the good films, and then you pointed fingers at Anada when he was watching. You are really morally corrupt!

"Tsk, you actually noticed this the first time." Zena said in amazement.

"See? If you are curious, come and see. I don't mind sharing the arcane mirror with you." Gu Laili looked at the arcane mirror and recalled Zena's talent structure. He felt that he could share it with the other party.

Gu Laili had wanted to do this before, but this level of operation requires extremely high strength of light and shadow manipulation talent. There are probably less than fifty people in this world who can reach this level of light and shadow manipulation. After all, while magnifying, it is also necessary to repair the light and shadow information in the secret mirror and restore it.

Zena was somewhat embarrassed when he heard this. He had neglected to remember that Gu Laili's elite talent had been sublimated in Northern Europe. Moreover, the talent of Floating Light and Leaping Gold itself involved light, so it was normal that he could discover it.

However, Zena was somewhat surprised when he was discovered by Bone Laili this time. Bone Laili could actually feel his light and shadow manipulation, which was outrageous. He had tried it so many times on Anada's side, but the other party didn't notice it. You know, Anada's talent is related to the sun, but he didn't even notice that he was peeping.

"The elite talents I refined were sublimated into floating light and leaping gold in Northern Europe. Although I cannot control the light, I need to rely on the light to move at high speed. Do you think I can feel that the light is affected?" Gu Laili explained to Zena without turning his head while looking at the arcane mirror.

"Why should I stand on the highest moral ground and point fingers at you when I am with you?" Zena sneered, "Anada is obviously close to the people and can get along well with others, while you are silent and do your own things well. I like to point fingers at you, and I also like to point fingers at the Han Dynasty."

Zena was not bragging, his talent for light and shadow was one of the best in the whole world. Except for Palmiro, the commander of the Fifth Skylark Legion, who was superior to him, everyone else was at most on the same level with him. This was the confidence he had accumulated from spying everywhere for so many years - it was impossible for anyone to discover him.

Thinking of this, Zena couldn't help but look at Gu Laili with some confusion. What was going on?

Gu Laili was confused and wanted to refute, but before he could open his mouth, he found himself in the scene. Zena directly presented the scene played in the secret mirror in three-dimensional light and shadow in reality. Liu Tong, dressed in bright red wide sleeves, stood at the door of the Universal Palace. He raised his hand under the twelve-tasseled crown and signaled the ministers to stand up.

"Then why don't you join us?" Bone Laili asked expressionlessly.

After recalling for a while, he was sure that Zena never cared. As long as he didn't say anything, Zena would just do his own thing. However, every time Anada was too arrogant, Zena would scold him.

Gu Laili almost fell to his knees when he saw this. Fuck, what the hell was that what I watched before, Brother Zena, we will be half brothers from now on. No, we were half brothers before.

"Light and shadow are such inconvenient things. I don't watch it with you because I have something better." Zena said arrogantly to Gu Laili.

Bone Laili nodded repeatedly, fully acknowledging this fact. For him, this was not better, this was beyond several generations! The light and shadow manipulation talent is awesome, and Brother Zena is mighty and domineering! After watching one episode, Bone Laili knelt down at Zena's feet, "Zena, I want to learn light and shadow manipulation."

"It's difficult." Zena said calmly.

"The brave men of Beigui are not afraid of difficulties." Gu Laili said firmly. For the first time in his life, he realized that he had taken the wrong path in his talent, but fortunately there was a chance to make amends. The fleeting light and the leaping gold were truly a masterpiece of fate, allowing me to seize this opportunity.

"Okay, I'll teach you." Zena glanced at Gu Laili and said indifferently. After all, he is Beigui and he always speaks in this tone.

The next day, as soon as the sky in East Africa brightened, the Han Dynasty sent another group of people. Unlike the previous professional and technical personnel, this time they were cooks.

Chen Xi's thinking is somewhat different from that of normal people in the third century. The locusts in the locust plague gradually metamorphosed due to pheromones, from being edible to being poisonous, extremely poisonous, and inedible. So as long as the detoxification is completed, does it mean that they can be eaten again?

After all, it is a super locust plague with huge numbers of locusts with internal energy leaving the body, locusts that break through the boundaries, and locusts that are so large that they cannot be counted. If humans were to absorb some of the energy contained in these locusts, at least they could create tens of thousands of locusts that have practiced Qi.

What a terrifying size.

With this idea in mind, Chen Xi sent his own cook and the chef from Liu Tong's imperial kitchen over to study how to make various locust banquets.

As for the toxin problem, it doesn't matter. With Chen Ying's quasi-spiritual talent, he will definitely be able to find a suitable means of detoxification, and then downgrade it to a popularized way. The people of the world will then have one more dish. As long as this thing tastes good and can be served on the dinner table, then, not to mention that the extinction is not far away, at least one more means of killing locusts will be added.

What's more, Chen Xi felt that it was a loss that hundreds of billions of locusts would just cause harm until they died of old age. After all, they ate human food, and now they were dying, and humans didn't get any benefit at all. The loss was too great, so he had to develop the locust banquet.

Even if, due to energy transfer problems in the food chain, locusts eat rice and humans eat locusts, and only one tenth of the energy they can absorb is retained, at least some of the costs are recovered. After all, on such a large scale, one tenth of the cost can be considered a large-scale loss stop.

What's more, locusts not only eat rice, but also other green plants, which humans may not eat. So, relying on Chen Ying's methods, if humans can prey on locusts that have caused a plague, they may be able to recover energy equivalent to most of that in rice.

With this idea in mind, Chen Xi thought about it and decided to send over the strongest chefs of the Han Dynasty. To be honest, he was counting on Chen Ying to detoxify the locusts.

"What is the Han Empire thinking? Why did it send a group of cooks?" Severus, who was already prepared and brought Sima Yuanlao under the Duke of the Eastern European Border County, also arrived in East Africa today. After arriving in East Africa, the first news he received was that the Han Dynasty sent a group of cooks. To be honest, Severus had no idea what the Han Dynasty was doing.

"They said they were studying how to detoxify locusts and develop several delicacies with locusts as the main ingredient. This is a plan for the future. It seems that the Han Dynasty is somewhat pessimistic. The locust plague hasn't hit their homeland yet, but they are like this. If the plague hits, won't they surrender directly?" Perennis said with some exhaustion.

"Is the Han Dynasty not doing its job?" Severus held it in for a long time, and finally said this. This is totally wrong. Our three empires gathered in East Africa to hold a banquet and study how to cook? We are here to deal with the world crisis. You, the Han Dynasty, have sent a group of chefs here to hold a chef competition?

"Not really. This thing looks a little strange, but it tastes really good." Opolis explained while chewing a whole large salt and pepper locust. He even pulled off a leg and handed it to Severus. "Your Majesty, try it too. This locust is big enough and tastes strong. It also contains the life essence of the boundary-breaking locust. It is good for your body."

This is what a world-class chef is. She has the ability to handle all kinds of strange things and make them delicious.

Severus looked at the locust leg handed to him, which had many barbs and was a little strange, but he did not refuse. After all, the locust was large enough and the meat on its leg was no less than that of a chicken leg. Although it had some barbs, it was not a problem for Severus, who had internal energy out of his body.

After taking it and taking two bites, Severus' eyes lit up. It tasted really good, even ranked among the best delicacies he had ever eaten.

"I remember this thing is poisonous, right? Especially after a locust plague, its toxicity will increase significantly, and the taste will become strange. It is said to be disgusting and has a gelatinous texture. But now it tastes quite good." Perennis twisted off the other thigh of the locust handed over by Opolis and started to chew it. He could accept any food.

"The professionals from the Han Dynasty have developed an effective detoxification method, but it's rather complicated. The new professionals are still trying to streamline it to a level that ordinary families can use." Opolis explained briefly, then took two bites of the locust. To be honest, this thing is quite delicious as a snack.

"You're talking as if the people who came from the Han Dynasty were not cooks, but researchers." Severus said with some strangeness. It didn't sound like he was talking about a cook at all.

"Well, they are researchers themselves, but their research directions are different. They study how to make things delicious and how to preserve them effectively. These are also scientific studies." Opolis said with some emotion. He was not joking, but thought that this was indeed a kind of research.

"I see. I will arrange for them to meet me later so that I can also meet some researchers who are chefs of the Han Dynasty." Severus seemed to be thinking about what he said, and then pointed at Sima Yi and said, "This is Sima Yuanlao under the Duke of Eastern Europe. He is here to help us conduct large-scale Jedi Tiantong."

Opolis bowed slightly to Sima Yi. After all, the other party was a veteran. Sima Yi looked a little tired. He was very tired recently, but he also gained a lot. After all, the Roman Empire did have a lot of technologies that the Han Dynasty did not have.

For example, this Mediterranean utopia. Before he saw it, Sima Yi thought it was an upgraded version of his own Jedi Tiantong Xuanxiang. But after going there, Sima Yi found that there was a big difference between the two, but there was also a feeling of ending up in the same place by different paths. This gave Sima Yi great inspiration. The so-called traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books. Many things are difficult to understand unless you see them.

Because of this huge difference, Rome spent a lot of time making adjustments in order to better match Sima Yi's spiritual talents. During this period, Sima Yi enjoyed treatment that he had never enjoyed in the Central Plains. In order to enable Sima Yi to become familiar with the original Latin materials as quickly as possible, the Romans even asked Dio to copy a lot of knowledge for Sima Yi, allowing Sima Yi to develop with almost the terrifying efficiency of a rocket.

To be honest, it was thanks to Sima Yi's identity as a Roman senator, and the locust plague was too outrageous. In order to effectively exert the power of Jedi Tiantong, Rome had to pay some money to allow Sima Yi to develop rapidly. Otherwise, it would be a dream to have such treatment!
After spending so much money to cultivate this group of people, only half a month had passed. Compared with the past, Sima Yi even felt like he had been reborn. Damn, it felt really good to have an empire serving him with all its might.

However, when he thought of this, Sima Yi could not help but look back to the east. He only enjoyed such treatment occasionally and had grown so much. Zhuge Liang had always enjoyed such treatment. Sima Yi could not help but begin to face up to the gap between the two sides. It was also the first time he realized the development speed of the two sides, which was like a chasm, from the difference in resources.
