The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

After Pablo and Francia finished muttering, they came back and asked Agure Ida: "What did you say?"

Agure Ida looked up at the cloudless sky, at the desolate and rough mountain tops, and at the branches with claws and claws like those of the devil.

He said something out of nowhere: "Captain, I have a bad feeling. Christ the King bless me, I hope fewer people will die during this trip."

Pablo meant something: "Maybe people will die, but not too many."

He did not yet know the power of Agure Ida's mouth.

Five miles ahead, the mule group was lying in ambush in the woods.

The subordinate asked: "Boss, when will they arrive?"

The mule stared at the fork in front of him and said, "It's almost here."

"Boss, can you give me some tequila? After drinking it, I'm going to feel like one of those damn lawyers walking around with their property in their head."

The mule looked back at the body hanging in the tree with missing arms and legs, handed him the wine bottle, and said: "Human life is too short, and it is already difficult to do just one thing well. If it weren't for his mother I've wasted too much time on my banditry, maybe I can become a lawyer instead of wasting my time with you bloodthirsty and cruel sons of bitches."

"Hehe, hehe, boss, you talk like a poet."

"Humph, the poet is telling you now, keep an eye on the left fork. Francia and Pablo must be coming from the left. The right road leads to Morelos, and no one will show up at this time."

…

Zhao Chuanxin knew where Ajure Ida was, but he was not in a hurry. He rode his horse for a while and felt sleepy after walking slowly for a while.

He saw two shepherds tending sheep in a pasture in a lowland area.

They were kneeling on the ground and praying, leaving the sheep to graze.

When Zhao Chuanxin approached, they heard the sound of horse hooves and looked up at Zhao Chuanxin.

One of them frowned and asked, "Would you like to join us in praying?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chuanxin clasped his hands together on horseback, holding a rosary with red coral beads and a cross in his hand, which was very stylish.

He murmured: "God, please make me strong, make me live hundreds of years, make me rich, make my friends not suffer hardship, but also not richer than me, and let all those who oppose me die." , let me have a good meal of good food and wine, so that I will not be hurting my body or tired of my body..."

The two of them were stunned and raised their heads in astonishment: "This... God will not agree to this."

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes widened: "Then why should I trust him?"

"Ah this..."

Zhao Chuanxin stood up and dismounted: "Just in time, you two are grazing here, and you can help me look after the horses and dogs. When I turn around, I will give you 5 reais as a reward."

The two looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then nodded in unison: "Okay."

"Don't worry, leave it to us."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and handed over the reins and a bag: "This is dog food, soaked in water for the dog to eat."

He walked three meters away in the col, his body as light as a feather, and soon he disappeared behind a tree.

The two men looked at each other and said sternly: "What a good horse."

"Did he think we would graze in one place? Hehe, we got a good horse for nothing."

The Chihuahua seemed to sense their evil intentions, raised its head and called out twice.

But someone kicked me: "I'll kick you to death if I ask you again."

Chihuahuas can tell the difference between their eyebrows and their eyes, so they can quickly shut up.

The two drove the sheep and horses as far away as possible so that the man could not find them.

They didn't notice that there was a copper pendant hanging around the horse's neck.

Zhao Chuanxin went back to sleep.

The next day, I went to the government office to go to work as usual.

There was a knock on the door, and Zhao Chuanxin said solemnly: "Come in."

Cui Fenghua came in and told Zhao Chuanxin: "Sir, the Advisory Council meeting will end this afternoon."

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up, he copied it down, took out an official document, and stamped it: "Give this to Zhang Heyan and ask him to take note of Japan and Russia and condemn them."

Cui Fenghuahua was bored: When did adults start to participate in condemning such low scores?

Cui Fenghua asked: "Sir, would you like me to compile a copy of the bills passed and rejected by the Advisory Council in the near future?"

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "No need."

When Zhang Shouzeng received the official document from Zhao Chuanxin, he immediately drafted it and called the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Russian Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Qing Dynasty.

Many times, waiting is the most painful thing.

Japan and Tsarist Russia knew what good things they had done.

After receiving the telegram, Tsarist Russia's Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Qing Dynasty, Kosovitz, could not help but shake his hands.

Recently, his work has focused on the princes and nobles of the steppes and Jebtsundamba.

Because Zhao Chuanxin rashly invaded the western grasslands and slapped Jebzundamba, this was a blessing from heaven, and he was looking for an opportunity to instigate these fat-hearted nobles.

However, as soon as he took action, the Lubin Mansion Advisory Council passed a series of motions.

First, the law on fleeing the flag was abolished, and then farmland was returned to grazing, which shook the grassland.

Prince Taiji and Jebzundamba were easily won over, but the low-level herdsmen on the grassland yearned for Lubin Mansion.

Many people shouted slogans, hoping that Lubin Mansion would bring the entire Uliasu Taiwan under its control.

This creates two extremes: the grassland upper class is panicked, but the herdsmen are eager to try.

In Kosoweci's view, people at the level of Prince Taiji and Jebtsundamba were more important, and the attitude of the underlying herdsmen was irrelevant.

At this time, he received a telegram of condemnation from Zhang Shouzeng.

Guosovici was panicking: "Send this telegram back to China immediately and ask for the opinions of the Tsar and the ministers."

At night, Zhang Shouzeng received their reply.

Looking at the content of the telegram, Zhang Shouzeng sneered: "It is just as you expected. Hand over the Russian-Japanese telegram intact to the reporter, announce it to the whole country, and list the number of casualties of the military and civilians in Lubin Prefecture."

…

Zhao Chuanxin was stopped by Rebecca Levi after leaving his post: "Sir, I went to see a Chinese doctor to check my pulse today. The doctor said that my pulse was stable and strong, and it was not weak."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at her perfectly painted red lips, lit a cigarette and said: "After all, there are tigers hidden in the mountains, and the sea must eventually accept small streams. Take your time, don't rush."

After that, he mounted the camel and ran.

Rebecca Levi jumped behind him: "Sir, it's really true..."

Zhao Chuanxin was very busy.

He teleported back to the White House Tavern and refreshed the "Old God Code".

[I didn't dare to sleep in the refugee camp. When I came back from the Shadow Forest, I found that the No. 76 Void Striker had returned. ]

[When he saw me, he said: Master Axiom has approved your application for Outer Realm Apprenticeship. Here are your pass and apprenticeship certificate. ]

[Because I took off the Fearless Pioneer Badge of Middle-earth, he didn't know my identity. ]

[I took the two certificates. ]

[I found that there was a portrait of me on the apprenticeship certificate. I could move my head slowly from side to side, so that people could see my front and side face at a glance. ]

[In addition, it showed that I was the No. 555 Outer Realm Apprentice. ]

[I asked: How did you do that? ]

[The No. 76 Void Striker said: Apprentice No. 555, I will be responsible for making the apprenticeship certificate. ]

[I suddenly realized that he was in charge of burning runes, so making the apprenticeship certificate should not be a problem. ]

[Xingyue whispered in my ear: No. 76 Void Striker should not have been infected yet. ]

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker said: Follow me, I will take you into the Sea City Virtual Realm. ]

[I followed No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker step by step under the envious eyes of the refugees around me, but kept a safe distance from other outer realm apprentices. ]

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker said to me as he walked: No. 555, if you have space storage tools, I advise you to take out the necessities before entering the Sea City Virtual Realm, because in the Sea City Virtual Realm, all space storage tools will be invalid. This is for the development of the banking industry in the Sea City Virtual Realm and for the safety of the Sea City Virtual Realm. ]

Zhao Chuanxin pursed his lips and thought in a flash. First of all, he had to ensure the safety of the Fearless Vanguard, and then try not to expose his identity.

He wrote:

[I took out a puppet soldier's light sword, put on the violent armor, the desert root and the anti-force shoulder strap, and put the Lugang M1907 and two magazines in the holster on my waist. ]

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker walked to a place and said: There are eight gates in total in the Haishi Virtual Realm, the main gates in the east, south, west and north, and the side gates in the four corners. This is the southwest gate. ]

[As he said this, he took out his pass and entered first. ]

[I followed closely, and then the infected outer realm apprentices. ]

[As soon as I entered the Haishi Virtual Realm, I felt something and my body suddenly dodged to the side. ]

[A short black shadow ran past me. ]

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker said: No. 555, don't be afraid, the one who just passed by was a letter delivery puppet. ]

[I observed carefully, and sure enough, it was an ordinary metal puppet with six long legs, carrying a package on its back, which was bulging with letters. ]

[Inside the Haishi Virtual Realm, the sky was as blue as outside, and the sun was still dazzling. ]

[I looked up and opened my mouth in surprise, and found that the streets here were solemn and neat. There were tall buildings on the street, and I had never seen a tall building with dozens of floors. ]

[There are no giant beetles here. There are circular passages between the tall buildings, and pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder. ]

[No. 76 Void Realm Striker said: Driving is not allowed here, nor is riding giant beetles. Now I will take you to the task management office and assign you tasks. ]

[Although there are no means of transportation, I found a large number of pedestrians who use anti-force rune fragments and flexibly jump between the passages. There are even people who can float directly in the air. No. 76 Void Realm Striker told me that they are patrolling Void Realm elders. ]

[No. 76 Void Realm Striker dismissed 17 Outer Realm apprentices and only let two people escort the Outer Realm apprentice who attacked him to prison. ]

[I reminded him: It is best not to have too close contact with other people during this period. ]

[No. 76 Void Realm Striker nodded and took me to the east. ]

[The sea city virtual world is bigger than I thought. ]

[I actually saw a house moving slowly in the air, and I was dumbfounded for a while. ]

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker explained to me as if nothing had happened: That is a mobile prison. In the Sea City Virtual Realm, punishment is not important, but prevention is. In order to reduce the crime rate, prisoners are allowed to watch the lives of free residents every day to arouse their desire to return to freedom and thus change their ways. ]

[I asked: But why can this prison float? ]

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker said: That is because there are countless living stones under the prison, which can spit out rainbow particles and push the prison up. ]

[His explanation is equivalent to no explanation. I don’t understand it at all, but I feel that everything in the Sea City Virtual Realm is full of novelty. No wonder the elf scouts are so awed. ]

[I saw the trapezoidal building again. No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker said: That is a silk farm. There are many silk farms in the Sea City Virtual Realm, and the scale and output have far exceeded the Brilliant Oasis. ]

[I saw the apprentices from outside who were practicing fighting skills, the puppets selling goods on behalf of the merchants, the shops that could be opened and closed... The space in the virtual world of Haishi is very large, and the space utilization rate is very high. There are everywhere It's people. 】

[I was taken to a ten-story building by Void Striker No. 76. On the first floor, we entered a long pipe with a box inside. 】

[Virtual Realm Striker No. 76 said: Live rocks are widely used, but their storage and training are difficult, so they can only be used in important places, such as this lift box at the Mission Management Office. 】

[When we entered the lift box, many living rocks below spewed rainbow particles, and the lift box floated slowly, allowing us to quickly reach the tenth floor. 】

Zhao Chuanxin understands.

Isn't this an elevator?

[Arrived on the tenth floor, Void Realm Striker No. 76 took me to Void Realm Striker No. 41. 】

[This is an arrogant man, his nostrils are turned upward, and he doesn’t look at people seriously. 】

[Virtual Realm Striker No. 76 said that I was a newly joined external apprentice and needed to be assigned tasks. Virtual Realm Striker No. 41 snorted and said: Is there anything you are good at? 】

[I don’t know how to answer. 】

Zhao Chuanxin thought of the Worm Silk Farm.

For a giant rat, the worm silk farm is like a fuel tank.

He wrote:

[I said: I am more familiar with worm silk. 】

A good calculation.

[Void Realm Striker No. 41 heard this and said: Well, then you can go to the live rock breeding farm. 】

【I:……】

Okay, okay, so neat, right?

Zhao Chuanxin felt a familiar smell in the No. 41 Void Realm Striker.

Holding back and pushing back?

[Void Realm Striker No. 76 said: No. 555, I can only help you so far. 】

[After saying that, he left. 】

[Virtual Realm Striker No. 41 asked Foreign Realm Apprentice No. 1088 to take me to the live rock breeding farm to report. 】

[Outside Apprentice No. 1088 is a kind young man. According to my observation, he is not infected with the demon virus. 】

[On the way, he said: No. 555, the live rock breeding farm is a hard job. There is a quarrel between No. 76 Void Striker and No. 41 Void Striker. You are really unlucky. 】

[I asked: Why is a live rock farm such a chore? 】

[Outside Apprentice No. 1088 said: You know, we live on a huge ball. The outside of the ball is surrounded by gas. Outside the gas is void. There was once a specialist in the void realm of the sea city who passed through that layer of gas and reached the void. He discovered void creatures like living rocks in the void and brought them back. Live rock grows slowly and takes at least several decades to grow. Therefore, it is basically impossible to achieve anything in farming live rocks within a few decades. In other words, you need to work every day, but there is no opportunity for rewards or promotions. Even a puppet factory is more promising than cultivating live rocks. 】

[I followed the foreign apprentice No. 1088 and arrived at the live rock breeding farm. 】

[The manager of the live rock breeding farm is foreign apprentice No. 38, a woman. 】

[Outside Apprentice No. 1088 gave instructions to Overseas Apprentice No. 38 and left. 】

[Outside Apprentice No. 38 said to me with a cold face: No. 555, you are responsible for handling the dead live rocks and sending them to the recycling plant. 】

[What I want to do is use a puppet cart with four legs to deliver the live rock corpses to the recycling plant, and start working as soon as it is reported. 】

[Outside Apprentice No. 38 said coldly: Don’t miss work, otherwise you will be put in jail. 】

Zhao Chuanxin planned to sneak in to study the Haishi Void Realm, not to work as a coolie.

[Fortunately, I can rest every afternoon and only work in the morning. 】

[I pushed the four-legged cart, loaded the live rock corpses onto the cart, and pushed it toward the recycling plant. 】

Zhao Chuanxin remembered what Virtual Realm Striker No. 76 said that in the Haishi Virtual Realm, you cannot use the storage tools in the space.

So, using the key of the "Old God Code", can I break this rule and teleport?

Zhao Chuanxin teleported a living stone over.

This is a long strip of stone that is about the thickness of a small finger and porous underneath. It is completely black but has a spiral pattern made of natural gold threads.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the small holes and found that he couldn't see through them.

He asked Xingyue: "Can you find out what's going on inside?"

Xingyue said: "No, but the gold thread outside should be gold, and the outer shell contains iron."

Zhao Chuanxin flicked his fingers, and a short light blade appeared between his fingers, cutting the living stone.

This thing is very light, ridiculously light.

Based on the cutting feeling fed back by the light blade, Zhao Chuanxian noticed that the shell of the living stone was very strong.

But it can be cut.

After cutting it open, Xingyue exclaimed: "This is not carbon-based life!"

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the complicated blood vessel-like veins inside after the incision, as well as the drop of colorful liquid on the head that was less than the size of a pinky fingernail, and asked curiously: "What kind of life is that? Silicon-based life?"

"It's somewhat similar, but I'm not sure. Live rock has no thermal stability, but it has chemical stability. Its structure is complex and changeable, but it does not rely on complex organic groups and does not need to be oxidized to form energy storage substances."

Zhao Chuanxin frowned: "If you are speaking in human terms, how should you explain it?"

Xingyue gave a diagram of the structure of the living rock on his glasses.

It marked the key points: "These places are the feeding ports, and these places are the ejection ports. I think the rainbow particles it ejects are actually excrement. Its life form is very simple, nothing more than eating and defecating, no need to think at all. Just push them to move in the universe to eat when excreting."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't understand, but always wanted to take advantage: "Since the sea city virtual world can recycle waste, can we do it too?"

Xingyue manipulated the black puppet craftsman, and together with Zhao Chuanxin's fingertip light blade, they cut and separated the living stone corpse and peeled off each passage.

Xingyue commanded Zhao Chuanxin to heat the old god crucible brand and weld the broken pipes.

After peeling it off, Xingyue said: "You use the wind god brand to blow a particle flow to the stomach sac."

Zhao Chuanxin did as he was told, and ejected a rainbow particle at the small hole below the living stone.

Due to the propulsion of the rainbow particles, the peeled part of the living stone was ejected and hit the wall, making a "dang" sound and falling to the ground.

Xingyue was overjoyed: "Its structure is so simple? It turns out that learning from others can help improve jade. Earth's technological thinking has played an unexpected role!"
