Yes, why bother about these things? After a few days of sleep, the world will become a different place.
"Thank you for your teachings, sir."
The three of them turned around and went back to the courtyard.
The old men gathered their thoughts, opened the price list and began to study it.
After a quick browse, they found that the prices of various items were not only listed neatly but also very clearly.
But it didn't help much.
Because there are many things that they don’t understand the specific effects of.
Things like "floating stone" are slightly better, at least from the name and description you can guess that it is a "stone that can provide buoyancy."
Although it is impossible to know the magnitude of the buoyancy and use it to infer its actual use, at least we have some idea.
The troublesome thing is those things which only have a name and a place of production.
For example, "Flame Block - Stone's companion creature."
Who knows what it is used for?
Taking off his glasses, the old man rubbed his nose to relieve the soreness in his eyes: "I'm afraid I have to ask Mr. Zhou one by one. It's such a thick book, it's a big project."
“No matter how big it is, we must do it.”
Ye Ming stood up and said, "Brother Zhao and Sister Yue will be in charge."
"Then it's up to you."
"The duty lies."
The three of them hurried to Qingfeng Hall side by side while it was still dark.
…………
"Just transfer the data into the puppet core. You don't have to do anything else when dealing with them every day."
Zhang Mu, who was in the void, used his mental power to stuff the detailed data of the items prepared by Sauron into the puppet, opened the light gate and returned to the Blue Star.
It would take several days for Luo Xiling and the other four to practice sword skills, and Ye Ming would not be able to make any further progress in a short time.
With nothing else to do, he decided to go look for Zhui Ling.
I chatted with everyone yesterday, and Zhang Mu was particularly interested in the information it revealed.
According to Zhuiling, before being summoned, he was in a "pitch-black space with walls blocking him on all sides."
What is that place?
Zhang Mu was curious as he flew towards the distant sea.
After a few hours, we arrived at a vast ocean.
Close your eyes and sense that the fallen soul is in the sea below your feet.
He cast a shadow spell on it, making its upper body emerge from the sea. Zhang Mu sat on its shoulder and looked into the deep ocean.
"Do you have a name?"
"No, I'll give you a name. From now on, you'll be called... Stone."
The dark blue flames in Zhui Ling's eyes swayed quickly a few times, fully expressing his resistance.
"Don't you think it sounds good? Change it to Shanyue."
"Like? Then this is it."
After connecting with each other, Zhang Mu asked about something that concerned him: "Was it you who I summoned last time?"
"Yes?"
"What? Last time you came out, you felt someone was watching you? Are you sure?"
Some violent mental fluctuations rushed into Zhang Mu's mind. After receiving them, he calmed down thoughtfully.
There was a sense of being watched in the Sol Continent, but there was no such thing as being watched on the Blue Planet...
God? Or is someone playing tricks?
After a long time without being able to come up with a reliable answer, he temporarily put the matter aside and prepared to ask something else.
"Huh? Are there really people who are not afraid of death?"
Suddenly, two heads, one big and one small, turned to the empty right side at the same time.
There was only surging sea water before their eyes, but their mental power detected that a huge aircraft carrier fleet was rushing towards them a hundred kilometers away.
"By the way, when we were on Blue Star, the range of mental scanning was much larger."
Zhang Mu stood up while muttering, and ordered Zhuiling to move to the left at full speed.
Twenty kilometers away, there is a small isolated island.
They quickly reached the island. Zhang Mu thought that the other party might not be here to look for Zhuiling, so he let Zhuiling go and play by himself. He sat on the beach with his eyes closed, and his mental power enveloped the fleet.
Over the past two hours, the fleet has been circling the nearby waters, apparently heading for the Fallen Spirit.
Opening his eyes, Zhang Mu prepared to remove the big guy's shadow spell, while reminding: "Don't be too heavy-handed."
Chapter 238: The disaster approaches the coast, and the Hogwarts team goes to investigate
Zhang Mu raised his hand to break the shadow spell of Zhui Ling, but noticed that it was unusually quiet behind him.
What are you doing?
Strange head turn.
In the open space in the center of the isolated island, Zhuiling squatted with his hands on his knees, staring at the beach at the edge of the island with the dark blue in his pupils.
Following its line of sight downwards, it saw two crabs fighting on the sand, waving their thick large claws.
The body on the left is obviously larger than the one on the right.
There is no doubt that the outcome was determined at the beginning.
However, the weaker one seemed unwilling to be defeated, and opened its pincers to launch a desperate attack.
The battle was very intense. Zhui Ling became nervous and clenched his two stone hands into fists.
The little crab has the courage to resist the strong, but unfortunately, anger cannot make it stronger.
After a while, the big crab easily cut off its claws, turned over, and opened its mouth to enjoy its prey.
His fists loosened in vain, his head buried between his legs in frustration.
Zhang Mu, who had been planning to urge it to work, was no longer in a hurry.
The body floated up and drifted to its feet: "Sympathy for the weak seems to be a common trait of intelligent creatures."
Zhui Ling turned his head towards Zhang Mu, revealing the dark blue of his left eye.
It seemed to want to blink, but because it had no eyelids, it could only use the rapid jump of flames instead.
"Yeah, that's about it." Sensing the spiritual fluctuations in his mind, he smiled and said, "If you like crabs, I'll help you raise a pond in the "world"."
The flames in the eye sockets swayed rapidly—I wanted a large pool of water.
"Row."
"Master? Well, I don't really care whether the title is respectful or not.
"You are such a thief, you call me master just because I raise crabs for you? What did you do before?"
Zhui Ling scratched his face with his index finger, then stretched out his hand to lift Zhang Mu, who was floating at his feet, onto his shoulder.
He is the kind of person who responds to soft tactics but not hard ones.
Zhang Mu smiled and didn't refuse its hospitality. He sat down, bent his right leg, and put his arm on his knee: "Let's go and play with them."
"Bam—"
It pounded its chest with its right fist and started running across the sea.
Half an hour later, the two men reached the side of the fleet and the other side also discovered them.
This time the fleet was clearly well prepared, with not only three aircraft carrier formations, but also several missile destroyers supporting the rear and providing fire support.
Needless to say, the battle broke out immediately.
Zhang Mu was curious about how they had the courage to organize a second siege the next day after the last defeat, so he ordered Zhui Ling to adopt a defensive posture.
The combined fleet wasted no time. The pilots had already been on standby in their fighter planes, and the carrier-based aircraft glided off from the deck.
Perhaps having learned the lesson from the previous defeat, the fighter planes soared into the sky at a high angle as soon as they left the aircraft carrier, to a height that Zhui Ling could not reach with his hands.
Looking up at the plane diving into the clouds, Zhang Mu retracted his gaze and looked at the two exploratory attack missiles coming from the left and right.
The fleet couldn't see Zhang Mu who was using the shadow technique, but they thought that the head of the humanoid rock giant might be a weak point, so they aimed at his head.
Unfortunately, he was right in the path of one of the missiles.
If Zhang Mu had not tested that shadow magic could not be captured by electromagnetic waves, he would have almost thought that they had discovered him.
The broad shoulders made the sitting position quite comfortable, and he was too lazy to move, so he raised the magic shield.
The missile's tail was approaching rapidly, trailing dust. Just as it was about to hit Zhang Mu, two rock hands overlapped and blocked him.
"boom--"
Zhang Mu turned around and saw that Zhuiling's right face was hit by another missile. After the smoke cleared, the side of his face was not damaged, but was burning with a large white flame.
"White phosphorus."
"Are you hurt?"
"A bit itchy?"
As they were speaking, the bombers and fighter jets overhead also launched attacks.
Probably misled by the action of the fallen spirit protecting one side with both hands, the fleet thought that the defense on this side was weak, and the missiles fell like heavy rain.
"Okay, I think I know what they're thinking."
Standing up, Zhang Mu looked at the hull number of the aircraft carrier from afar.
