Chapter 062 The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng
Five days later, the large ship docked at Quanzhou Wharf set sail again. The gap in the bow had been repaired, and there was no sign that a large gap had ever been made there.
Behind the big ship followed the caravan that was still worried. Their ships were more seriously damaged than the city lord's ship. The keel of one ship was broken and could not be repaired, so they had to abandon it.
Looking at the large pilot ship ahead, the caravan members, who had been feeling uneasy after entering the sea, gradually calmed down.
He is the city lord. With the city lord around, they can rest assured.
When Ye Gucheng came, the journey from Jiangnan to Quanzhou was peaceful. When he left, a rumor that sounded like a dream spread across the country in just a few days.
They said that there was a god coming from outer space.
They said that there was a golden god who saved countless poor mortals from the jaws of a giant beast.
They said that the god who flew from the sun stopped the tsunami from flooding the sea city.
They said...
The rumors became more and more outrageous, but the protagonist in the rumors never changed.
Golden, divine, brilliant like the sun.
Hua Manlou couldn't help but cast his gaze to the side. The golden angel was looking down at a bunch of unknown wild flowers in full bloom, red and pink, so beautiful.
He seemed to be easily attracted by these vibrant things, and was more willing to focus his attention on these little lives that could not speak but were full of vitality.
Perhaps that is why He came to the rescue of the fishermen in distress.
Maybe He really did fly from the sun, Hua Manlou thought in his heart. He had tried to dye his hair and eyes black, but it would not be long before the dazzling gold and bright silver would quickly swallow up this disguised black.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, shining on all living things, so how could it be obscured by darkness?
However, the sun is high in the sky, out of reach, and it is cold up there. No matter how bright an angel like the sun is, it is still cold inside.
It was a kind of coldness that was far away from the world, free from any constraints, and impossible to fathom or guess.
The angel did not notice that His attempt at disguise had failed, or perhaps He noticed but never cared.
He would occasionally stare at him and City Lord Ye, with the same attentiveness as he was looking at these little lives.
City Lord Ye seemed to be used to being watched. He was either wiping his sword or pondering his next move. In short, he stood still under the angel's focused gaze.
Hua Man Lou himself was not able to cope with it. The strange eyes gave him a sharper sense. Every time the maid looked at him, he would feel his limbs stiffen. Five or six days had passed, and he still could not adapt to this gaze that seemed to analyze him inside and out.
Whenever this happened, Hua Manlou could easily feel the gap between himself and City Lord Ye. Anyway, he couldn't remain calm like City Lord Ye.
Tarona herself discovered that although she liked to look at the flowers in full bloom and the plants growing vigorously, she liked to look at Ye Gucheng and Hua Manlou even more. Sometimes she herself did not even realize when her gaze shifted.
It’s not that she is greedy for the beauty of Ye Gucheng and Hua Manlou. Her colleagues are all more beautiful than each other, and beauty is not enough to shake their will.
It's more like...
【The influence of vest cards. 】
Theseus hit the nail on the head.
Only then did Tarona suddenly realize that something was wrong. Her desire was decreasing, or to be more precise, her divergent thinking was decreasing. Now she only thought about purer problems.
The previous Tarona would not stay so obediently by Ye Gucheng's side, doing nothing except staring at them for a while. She moved in a compass-like manner with these two people as the center.
To put it bluntly, it means running around.
The Great Witch's patience depends on the situation. If the current situation is not particularly urgent, she will not be able to stay.
Although it is already an immortal species, curiosity is indeed written into the DNA of intelligent life.
Even though she has been to the Anglo-American World many times, she can still wander around there with great interest. Many of the makeshift Easter eggs were found by her from every nook and cranny of the city when she was strolling around.
The current situation is indeed not urgent, let alone serious.
Ye Gucheng is suspected to be targeted by the possessed person of [Evil Eye], and Hua Manlou has definitely fallen into the trap of the possessed person of [Evil Eye], but for now, they are still safe.
so--
[Shouldn't I be running around?]
She also ran around in the previous world, although the time she spent there was very short. The motherly love buff of [Blood Nun] always urged her to go home to see her children.
Tarona was truly confused by this, how come this vest card could suppress her desires and make her more obedient?
Theseus said: [I'm afraid not, Miss Ta, you should re-check the settings of your vest card. ]
The Great Witch reopened the setting template of the vest card as instructed, and then slowly typed a question mark.
Unconsciously, the synchronization rate between her and the [Mechanical Angel] has increased to 28.4%, and the [Mechanical Angel]'s settings are all open to her.
She looked at the two newly opened pages, her face full of speechlessness, and she even had the urge to manually visit the technical department.
The previous vest card allowed her to become a mother painlessly, and this vest card directly turned her into a pure monk.
In the complete setting of the vest card, [Mechanical Angel] was indeed not given emotions by the Supreme God who created him at birth, but as the strongest weapon created by the Supreme God and one of the many creatures created by the Supreme God, he not only possesses powerful strength, but also has super high learning ability.
In short, He can learn, including emotions.
But since His emotional module is completely blank, the color of this pure white space will eventually depend on the kind of person He learns from.
As the most perfect creation of the Supreme God, the Mechanical Angel also inherited some of the Supreme God's preferences. He prefers purer humans.
Ye Gucheng and Hua Manlou are such people.
He was both attracted to them and learning from them.
Because the time from their meeting to now was too short, Tarona could not tell what the [Mechanical Angel] had learned from Ye Gucheng and Hua Manlou, but she finally figured out her current delicate situation.
Her brain was temporarily split in two—
Half told her: You are a wanton witch, you have rich emotions, but you are never bound by emotions.
And half told her: You are a born pure creation, your emotional module is blank, you need to learn, you should learn.
Even though it is divided into two halves, the brain is still your own brain, so which half should you listen to?
The Big Witch was born rebellious, and she chose to listen to everything, which led to her current delicate state where she is neither understanding nor not understanding most of the time, and only after careful and deep thinking does she feel that she understands more than anyone else.
Similar to...
Theseus's hot review: [I was confused when I slept. 】
Tarona: ...
Tarona: [You can say that.]
However, as her synchronization rate with the Mechanical Angel increases, her status will tend to the latter half.
But it's fun, isn't it?
The originally heartless and emotionless weapon created by God is actually learning emotions from two humans, and these two humans can be said to be completely opposite in some aspects. Therefore, she is very curious, if it continues like this, what will the emotional module of the [Mechanical Angel] become?
Theseus was not surprised at all, because his partner was more concerned with eating than with being beaten when it came to unconsciously setting up flags.
Why didn't he warn his partner?
Of course he was curious too.
The setting of [Mechanical Angel] clearly states that he will not lose control. Although his partner is very popular with Flag, his reaction speed and processing ability are first-class, and he rarely flips over.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will see it.
…
On the second day of sailing, the wind was calm and nothing happened. Hua Man Lou, who was fishing on the deck, even caught a big fish.
After eye contact, it’s the novice protection period.
The golden angel was sitting next to him, with a long ribbon hanging behind him, and his whole body was emitting a faint golden glow all the time.
It seemed as if an angel was right beside him, blessing Hua Man Lou with a lucky buff. With only a simple fishing rod and perfunctory bait, he caught three grouper fish worth hundreds of gold coins, which amazed the surrounding sailors.
So there was a new dish of steamed grouper on the lunch table.
Hua Manlou had dinner with Ye Gucheng purely out of safety considerations. If there was a first attack, there would be a second one, and the person who betrayed Ye Gucheng was the old man from the City Lord's Mansion.
Without knowing whether this betrayal was voluntary or active, or whether this betrayal was voluntary or active, Ye Gucheng could no longer safely hand over the overall situation to his subordinates.
He had to see it himself.
Hua Manlou is a guest of Baiyun City, and the Hua family is a partner of the Ye family. Is there any protector who can give people a greater sense of security than Ye Gucheng?
——Except for angels.
Before the last monster attack, Ruiyue discovered a strange fragrance that had suddenly appeared on the ship. Later, she counted and found that one person was missing. Both the master and the servant connected the two things.
Ye Gucheng confirmed this with the angel and received a positive answer from the angel.
"That's the scent. Normally, you can't smell it." However, it was just such a coincidence. Ruiyue's sense of smell was five times more sensitive than that of an ordinary person. She grasped this clue. "In the monster's olfactory system, the smell of the scent can extend to a range of hundreds of miles, or even further."
The exact range of diffusion is currently unknown. Tarona can only make a preliminary estimate based on the distance when he first noticed the companion creature.
The Great Witch could naturally smell the same scent that Ruiyue could smell. She captured a portion of the scent, sealed it up, and gave it to her partner for testing.
The test results are a bit unappetizing. This thing is a kind of corpse oil that has been purified and extracted, and then deeply processed.
It is non-toxic as long as you don't drink it.
But as long as you drink it, even just one drop, the person who drinks it will turn into human-shaped corpse wax in a short time, and it only needs a temperature of about ten degrees to melt, and after melting, even stones can be penetrated.
This is also the reason why the missing crew member disappeared into thin air.
Tarona told Ye Gucheng, who asked the question, about this. Hua Manlou was also there at the time. His and Ye Gucheng's misfortunes came from the same source, so he also had the right to know, and he could be on guard after knowing it.
After hearing this, neither of them had lunch that day.
The Great Witch expressed her understanding and sympathy. Even though the scent of the incense had lost its effect, it could not hide the fact that the ship was marinated in corpse oil.
Tarona reasonably suspected that if it weren't for the fact that this place was still about two days' journey from Feixian Island, and Ye Gucheng and Hua Manlou couldn't fly, and could swim but not very well, they could just swim back.
Ha, just kidding.
On the third day of sailing, the sea was calm and nothing happened...
Um?
Is there a small boat paddling towards this side over there?
The crew member who noticed it immediately sounded the alarm. Hua Manlou walked out of the cabin, followed by Ye Gucheng. The angel passed through the wall as usual.
The guards armed with bows and arrows quickly ran onto the deck, stood in a row, drew their bows and arrows, waiting for the city lord's order.
The caravan following behind the city lord's ship also became nervous and took out their belongings, ready to respond to the city lord's orders at any time.
A small boat shouldn't have caused the people of Baiyun City to be so alert. After all, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of the well rope for ten years. Who knows if this boat is a monster in disguise? Isn't this what is written in the storybook novels?
In short, it's better to be careful and cautious.
The boat was still quite far away, and with Ye Gucheng's eyesight, he could only see a person sitting on the boat, rowing hard.
The water splashed everywhere because the boat took a long time to move a certain distance, and it was not as far as the waves.
You can tell at first glance that he is a novice.
But Hua Man Lou laughed at this moment.
The angel looked at him in confusion, and Ye Gucheng immediately understood.
The novice rower was someone Hua Man Lou knew, and someone he knew very well.
