After sending the children away, Shen Miao continued to worry.
Eyes, eyes...
There's something that can be covered by a blindfold and still allow you to see. That thing must be transparent. Wait, transparent! Suddenly, Shen Miao slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "I know!"
Qingchen and Jiuying were startled and looked over at her. Jiuying asked, "Anran, what are you saying?"
"Hahaha, I've got an idea! Hahaha, I've got an idea!" Shen Miao danced with joy. In fact, she really wanted to dance right now.
Qingchen asked in a deep voice, "What method?"
Shen Miao raised her chin smugly and asked, "Tell me, when a skeleton soldier casts a charm spell, does it need to make direct eye contact with a person?"
“Yes.” Qingchen nodded.
"If I cover his eyes with something so that he can't use his skills, will I succeed?" Shen Miao continued to ask.
Jiuying couldn't help but interject, "Chenmiao, you're confused. Covering your eyes can help you resist charm magic, but at the same time, you won't be able to see yourself either."
Shen Miao chuckled, "If there were something that we could see from the other side, but the other side couldn't see our eyes, wouldn't that be perfect?"
“Of course, it’s possible to have such a thing, but it’s not,” Jiuying said after a moment of contemplation.
Qingchen looked at Shen Miao and said, "You've asked this question because you must have a solution."
Shen Miao chuckled, "That's right, I can solve this problem. I obtained something that can meet all the conditions I just mentioned."
"This thing, could it be another one given to you by the Beast God?" Qingchen asked casually.
Shen Miao coughed and said seriously, "Yes, when the Beast God saw that I was troubled by this, he pointed out a way for me to use it to deal with the skeleton soldiers."
Both Jiuying and Qingchen remained silent.
Shen Miao has calmed down now. After all, telling one lie is the same as telling two lies. She's gotten used to it and no longer feels guilty.
"Let me go inside and look for it."
After saying that, Shen Miao went into the house and closed the door behind her, claiming it was the Beast God's request and that if outsiders found out, she would be unable to find the thing.
In fact, all she needed to do was take the things out of the space.
Shen Miao lingered in the room for a while before taking her sunglasses and happily walking out. She said to the two of them, "Look, this is what the Beast God was talking about."
Qingchen and Jiuyong both looked puzzled as they stared at the sunglasses Shen Miao was holding.
"These are called sunglasses. This is how they're used. Look, I'm wearing them on my face, covering my eyes. That way, I won't be attacked by charm magic," Shen Miao said happily.
Qingchen hesitated and asked, "Can you see us now?"
It's no wonder the two were suspicious, mainly because the sunglasses were completely dark, and you couldn't see anything from the outside.
Jiuying even reached out and waved in front of Shen Miao's eyes, but Shen Miao blocked it precisely and calmly said, "Stop fooling around."
"You can see it?" Jiuying asked in surprise.
Shen Miao was exhausted. "Of course they can see it. Why would I wear it if they couldn't see it? Would I just let the skeleton soldiers come and attack me?"
She took out two more sets and gave them to Qingchen and Jiuying, urging them, "You two should try them too."
I never imagined I'd be wearing sunglasses in an orc tribe, but it doesn't feel so bad.
Qingchen and Jiuying awkwardly put on their sunglasses, and everything, except for the color change, was just as clear as when they weren't wearing them.
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
"This...this...with this, the skeleton soldiers will definitely be unable to cast charm spells on us anymore!" Jiuying exclaimed with delight.
At this moment, Shen Miao had already walked to the window, wearing sunglasses and facing the sun, completely unaffected.
Jiuying found it novel and imitated Chenmiao by looking up at the sun. In the past, they dared not stare directly at the sun because if they looked for too long, their eyes would become blurry and they would easily tear up.
With the sunglasses blocking the view, looking directly at the sun is completely unobstructed.
Nine-Headed Serpent was overjoyed, like a child who had received a new and exciting toy.
Qingchen wasn't as playful as Jiuying, and he thought things through more. He walked over and asked Shen Miao, "How many of these sunglasses did the Beast God give you?"
He spoke of the Beast God with ease, seemingly having fully accepted Shen Miao's explanation.
Shen Miao didn't count them, but there were so many sunglasses in the space that she knew there were enough for her without even counting them, so she said, "There are quite a few."
"Can we equip all the orcs in the tribe with these?" Qingchen asked solemnly.
The skeleton soldiers' charm spells are indiscriminate; any orc in the tribe could become their target, so if even one is missed, they will all be in danger.
Shen Miao nodded, "Okay, the number of sunglasses provided by the Beast God is sufficient. Just have them come and collect them."
After the news was spread, everyone came to collect their sunglasses. At first, they didn't know what sunglasses were; they were just curious. But when they saw the dark thing that they had to wear on their faces, some of the orcs backed down.
"That's so ugly, and it blocks our eyes. Isn't this the Beast God punishing us?"
"I don't want to wear it, it's too ugly."
Many orcs disliked it and were unwilling to wear it. Some even felt that the thing was very unlucky because it blocked their eyes and would bring misfortune.
After listening to Hexie's various and varied explanations, Shen Miao was both amused and exasperated.
Wearing sunglasses is considered unlucky, and she was quite convinced by that.
She patiently explained to everyone, "The sunglasses are for protecting against the charm spells of the skeleton soldiers. If you don't wear them, you might be attacked by the charm spells and do things that could harm the tribe. Think it over carefully. Your parents, wives, and children are all in the tribe. Are you willing to hurt them?"
At Shen Miao's urging, some of the beastmen started trying to wear sunglasses. In addition, with Da Bao and his cubs running around wearing sunglasses, everyone felt that it might really be no big deal.
As a result, more and more orcs started wearing sunglasses.
They were joking with each other.
"Can't you see my eyes? Look at what I look like with sunglasses on."
"You'll see when I show you."
Seeing this, Shen Miao finally felt relieved.
She thought for a moment and then instructed everyone, "Don't take off your sunglasses for the next few days. Wearing them won't affect your life. You might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but you'll get used to it after a while."
"How long will we have to wear them?"
"Keep it on until the skeleton soldiers retreat," Shen Miao shouted.
The orcs whispered among themselves for a while, and finally had no choice but to agree.
They'd rather wear sunglasses than be slaves to skeleton soldiers; after all, they don't get in the way, and after wearing them for a while, you really don't feel anything.
