"My dear, the contract we initially signed did not state that it wouldn't include fantasy-type worlds."
The system's sweet voice rang out, causing Tang Lingnan to clench her f...
Chapter 77: Western Fantasy Traveling Through Long Aotian
"This is……"
Long Lingnan stood on tiptoe through the thick bulletproof glass to look at the huge silver machine inside. The machine ran silently, processing thousands of pieces of information per second.
Luo Cheng'an proudly introduced the device, standing beside them. "This is a groundbreaking invention by our bureau's scientists. It's world-leading. Thanks to it, we can monitor the nation's magic energy data in real time and address any anomalies immediately."
She opened her eyes wide. It was so powerful, a scanning capability that could cover the entire country. In the Longming Realm, probably only her father's mental power could cover the entire China and even the entire Asian continent. The strength of the five-clawed golden dragon after adulthood was almost a huge difference from that of other dragons.
The combination of technology and magic might create wonderful sparks.
Long Lingnan suddenly thought of this.
After a friendly communication in the morning, the two sides reached an agreement. Luo Cheng'an warmly invited them to visit the Special Countermeasures Bureau and strongly recommended Long Haoyu to join the company. Of course, Long Haoyu's attitude towards this was ambiguous.
Under Luo Cheng'an's guidance, Long Lingnan and his companions were able to visit the secret laboratory, which was truly an eye-opener. They deeply understood that although humans had only been exposed to magic energy for a few hundred years, the power of technology had allowed humans to expand their boundaries infinitely. Perhaps they could not compete with it now, but who could predict the future?
"Hundreds of years. I think the history of magic should be more than a few hundred years."
After the tour, Luo Cheng'an took the guests to the lounge for a short rest, and Long Lingnan said this to Luo Cheng'an.
The table was already filled with tiny, sparkling crystals, which were clear and translucent jade mixed with some gemstone crystals. Long Haoyu had already seen Long Zixuan's eyes light up, and he picked up the jade beads and put them in his mouth without any hesitation.
Sure enough, the jadeite that was not cleaned on the table in the morning was still noticed.
But Long Haoyu had no intention of stopping Long Zixuan. Since his identity had been revealed, then whatever happened was fine. Meanwhile, Long Lingnan and Luo Chengan continued their conversation.
"Huh," Luo Cheng'an mused, "But it wasn't until modern times that countries around the world truly realized the existence of magic energy."
If this energy had actually existed for thousands of years, wait, Luo Cheng'an realized he seemed to have forgotten something. If Long Lingnan and Long Zixuan were dragons, then why had the legend of the Chinese dragon been around since ancient times? Could it be that...
He was shocked and realized that what the ancients recorded might not be fantasy, but facts that he had seen with his own eyes.
When Long Lingnan heard Luo Cheng'an's words, she mistakenly thought that he didn't believe her. In order to make her words more truthful, she used her experience that night on Hain Island to argue:
"...So, the magic energy must have existed for more than a few hundred years," Long Lingnan emphasized. This was a serious matter. The authorities might have underestimated the number of mutant animals. Among other things, there were definitely many magical beasts in the depths of the ocean that possessed highly concentrated magic energy.
Luo Chengan, however, focused on the golden python that Long Lingnan mentioned: "Golden python, could it be that you met her?"
"In fact, a few days ago, we detected a huge energy fluctuation at the mouth of a river in the southeast. We sent people to investigate and found a giant golden python that could speak."
Luo Cheng'an twirled his fingertips. He concealed some things, such as the fact that the first reaction of the people at the scene was to attack. If it weren't for Sha Yi's good temper, who knows how the situation would have ended up.
It was also because of that incident that the Countermeasures Bureau discovered for the first time that their current main machinery could not cause any harm to truly accomplished magical beasts. As a result, the hawkish faction within the bureau and at the top level fell silent, and the moderate faction headed by the director gained the upper hand.
Using nuclear weapons may lead to victory, but the consequence will only be mutual destruction. Moreover, the other party is very likely to be a high-level creature with the same intelligence. Peace and communication are the real solutions.
"That should be it." There shouldn't be another golden python in the world that can speak human language. Long Lingnan nodded: "What's wrong with her?"
Sha'er actually came ashore. She remembered that they had suggested that she take her child away from human society.
Luo Cheng'an smiled bitterly: "She scared us. It was the first time we saw a monster that was not afraid of Yue Linxiang. But fortunately, the ending was good." He mentioned the matter in a light-hearted way.
When Yue Linxiang heard this name that made Long's nose itch, even Long Zixuan, who was indifferent to their conversation and just ate his food, couldn't help but look at Luo Cheng'an in surprise.
At that moment, Long Lingnan felt as if she could smell that horrible smell all over again. Her expression was extremely subtle. And rightly so, if dragons found the smell stimulating, Warcraft should be even more afraid of it. After all, Warcraft were more or less mixed with dragon blood.
"Excuse me," Long Haoyu admitted that he was just a little curious, "'Blue Sky and Sea of Clouds' is..."
"Ahem," Luo Cheng'an said with an awkward smile, "'Bi Tian Yun Hai' is one of the businesses our bureau has invested in. It's a nationwide chain of 'Bi Hai' teahouse and 'Yun Tian' bar."
A revenue-generating enterprise plus a contact point, right? Long Haoyu understood.
"The reason why it has no effect may be that the Moon Scale Fragrance is just extremely unpleasant in their perception, but if you really want to overcome it, you can still overcome it." Long Lingnan explained to Luo Chengan, and Luo Chengan suddenly realized.
They have studied the mechanism of Moon Scale Fragrance's expulsion for a long time, but the captured monsters refused to cooperate, and the research institute only made several guesses. Now that one reason has been confirmed, further development of Moon Scale Fragrance can be further promoted.
Luo Cheng'an took this news to heart and turned to another matter: "By the way, we have already prepared the identities of the two children, and their household registration has been changed to Mr. Long's name."
This efficiency is quite good. Long Lingnan gave a thumbs up and swung her calves happily. Now, she was a real Chinese citizen.
Luo Chengan hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Mr. Long, at this age, are you going to let them go to school?" There was no way, a child's appearance was too deceptive, and going to school was a matter of paramount importance.
Long Lingnan:!!!
Long Zixuan: What is going to school?
Long Lingnan's expression twisted for a moment. No, she didn't want to go back to elementary school. But it was obvious that Long Haoyu, as a parent, was moved. Long Haoyu was obviously tempted, but feeling his sister's thorny gaze, he finally refused with difficulty:
"They grow at a different rate than humans, and it's possible they'll still look like children even after hundreds of years."
This is indeed inconvenient for entering the school. One or two years is fine, but three or four years will definitely expose the truth. Luo Chengan felt sorry, then he thought again and suggested:
"That's okay, we can ask a top professor for one-on-one instruction."
!Top-notch teaching, and one-on-one VIP! This undoubtedly touched the heart of a Chinese parent.
Now Long Haoyu couldn't refuse, he really wanted his sister-in-law to learn something, so the two of them hit it off, leaving Long Lingnan gritting her teeth in pain, while Long Zixuan knew nothing.
Luo Cheng'an was also very satisfied. Culture is the blood and soul of a nation. Imperceptibly, Long Lingnan and Long Zixuan will inevitably have a greater recognition of China. In this way, even if they pass away in the future, the friendly relationship between the two sides will still continue.
"As for the previous car accident, I wonder if Mr. Long minds..." Luo Cheng'an asked.
There was nothing to hide about this, so Long Haoyu simply told everyone about his possible relationship with the Duan family and his previous conflicts with Ying Yiran and Duan Xingzhou.
"So that's how it is... In fact, the Duan family has now become a cancer in the industry, but..." Luo Cheng'an smiled bitterly, "It's already too big, and it involves too many things. The country is also quite cautious because of this."
Long Haoyu understood the meaning of the music and said decisively, "I have no relationship with the Duan family, nor do I have any thoughts about them. I can fully cooperate with you."
He did not agree to cooperate with Gu Yang because he did not want the Gu family to reap the benefits. His impression of the Gu family was not very good.
Luo Cheng'an breathed a sigh of relief, his concerns gone. However, this wasn't his area of expertise, so he needed to consult an expert. He told Long Haoyu, "We'll need to consider this in the long term, but if we want a smooth transition, a paternity test is essential."
"That's not a problem." Long Haoyu nodded. The previous problem was no longer a problem. "But I'm not sure whether the results of the paternity test are still normal."
Luo Chengan had a clear idea in his mind, and he stood up. They had finished discussing everything they had planned, and it was time to see the guests off.
Long Lingnan obediently let Long Haoyu hold her hand. She listened to the conversation between her brother and Luo Chengan. Although she didn't quite understand some of the things, she understood one thing:
The annoying Duan Xingzhou is about to be dealt with by the country's father. Although he has never met Duan Bowen and Mrs. Duan, Long Lingnan has a hunch that they are not good people!
"I almost forgot," Long Haoyu turned around, "Emerald contains magical energy. It seems that you don't know it."
"Thank you." Luo Cheng'an thanked him solemnly. They had indeed not discovered the special features of jadeite before. After being reminded by Long Haoyu, he immediately passed the news to the scientists and ordered that jadeite be collected nationwide, regardless of quality, only quantity.
Long Lingnan and the others returned to their familiar and stable home. Although Luo Chengan suggested changing their residence, Long Haoyu rejected it. He thought that this place was good and they had decorated it bit by bit together, so there was no need to change.
As soon as she got home, Long Lingnan started shaking Long Haoyu's hand and acting like a spoiled brat: "Brother, I don't want to go to school. No, wuwu, going to school is not fun at all."
She rolled back and forth on the bed, focusing on a child who hated school and refused to go to school.
Long Zixuan took a look and followed suit, even though he didn't actually understand what going to school meant.
"It's not school, it's one-on-one teaching." Long Haoyu corrected.
What's the difference? This is even scarier than going to school. At least in large classes, you can be distracted, but how can you be distracted in one-on-one classes?
Long Lingnan was determined not to do it.
This time, Long Haoyu experienced for the first time the headache of having a child who hates studying at level 10 at home.
Longming Realm, Worry-Free Sea.
Long Xiuqi has been observing this place for several days. Combining the clan's classics and inherited memories, he is certain that this is one of the barriers between the Longming Realm and the Earth Realm.
The earth...will the good boy end up in the earth?
Sensing the faint breath coming from the crack, Long Xiuqi closed his huge dragon eyes slightly and stayed there, quietly waiting for the crack to expand to a point where he could pass through.
He was sure it wouldn't take him long.
The earth, the long-lost homeland of their dragon clan. Unexpectedly, when they returned again, it would be under such circumstances.
【Author’s words】
Trust is accumulated bit by bit, so both sides still have reservations.
Suddenly I realized that there is still a lot to write about this world, but this world is about to come to an end.
Finally, in order to motivate myself to be lazy, I decided to update the nutrient solution for every thousand words. I hope the reader angels will have pity on me and show me mercy.
