Chapter 733 Information From Afar
"Hello, Mr. Duanmu, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Uh, you're welcome, Miss Xia Li... What do you want to see me for this time?"
"If you're not too busy, how about having afternoon tea together?"
"That's okay..."
Looking at the blonde girl in front of him skillfully taking out various snacks and sandwiches from the basket, Duanmu Huai was also confused. To be honest, he didn't understand what Xia Li was thinking at all.
After Mary brought her two friends to the court for a tour, Xia Li often came to Duanmu Huai again and again. At first, Duanmu Huai thought she wanted to ask him for help, but this girl just came every two or three days with some snacks and tea, saying that she was thanking Duanmu Huai for taking care of Mary.
Duanmu Huai couldn't drive her away. Besides, it was just eating and drinking, not a big deal, so he didn't care much.
By the way, Ashelika also hopes to work in the Tribunal. Of course, she has no interest in going out on adventures like Mary. Ashelika majors in mathematics in the Master's College and is a genius student in the Department of Mathematics. To be honest, Duanmu Huai is quite welcoming of her arrival. Although basic science seems to be of little use on the surface, it is actually very useful. For example, many scientific studies require calculation formulas and models, which are not understandable to ordinary people. Although Ashelika does not understand problems in other scientific research fields, if it is just a mathematical calculation formula, at least she can give you an answer whether it is mathematically feasible.
In fact, Ashelika and Sydney are now very close. The overall level of science and technology in Ashelika's world is lower than that in Sydney's world. Many mathematical conjectures are still just conjectures in Ashelika's world, but they have become theorems in Sydney's world. After reading several books on this subject, Ashelika almost stayed in Sydney's laboratory and could not walk.
I heard from Xueli that Ashelica was going to study in her world after the end of this semester... Well, Duanmu Huai didn't object.
But as for Xia Li... To be honest, Duanmu Huai felt that she was not particularly useful in the Tribunal. Like Mary, Xia Li was a student in the Department of Literature, but she was not majoring in ancient literature and language research like Mary, but in philosophy and history, which Duanmu Huai thought was very useless... To be honest, can she find a job after graduation? She can only be a librarian.
But Xia Li seemed to know it very well, so she never said that she would work in the Tribunal. She just came to see Ashelica and Mary frequently, and brought some desserts and food to Duanmu Huai.
In Duanmu Huai's opinion, this was no big deal.
"Please try this, this is the waffle I made myself."
"Hmm...it tastes good."
"As long as you like it, there is also black tea here..."
Duanmu Huai and Ogis sat on the balcony, looking at the scenery below and enjoying the snacks brought by Xia Li. However, in the shadows behind the pillars of the corridor in the distance, several petite figures were hiding there, secretly observing this scene.
"Well, I think there must be something wrong with Miss Xia Li."
Ann frowned, folded her arms, and nodded carefully.
"It seems to be the same as what Gu Leiya said. I suspect she has a crush on Mr. Knight!"
"Hey? No way..."
Mary's expression was a little complicated, and she didn't care about An's guess.
"I remember that Xia Li didn't like Mr. Duanmu before..."
Mary remembered that before coming to the court, she had talked about Duanmu Huai with Xia Li and others several times. Xia Li's attitude towards Duanmu Huai was also very sharp, as if she was afraid of being deceived.
"But look at her now. If she didn't have any feelings for Mr. Knight, why would she invite him to afternoon tea?"
An immediately analyzed complacently.
"I know that in Manalia, many noble girls like to use this method to get close to their lovers, and even those married young women like to use this as an excuse to date their lovers! So it must be like this! Don't you have such a custom there? Generally speaking, if you don't have any feelings, you won't have afternoon tea with men, right!"
"Uh... That's right..."
Faced with An's questioning, Mary nodded. In her world, afternoon tea is generally for women to communicate and increase their feelings. For example, Mary used to go to a nearby restaurant with Charlie and Ashelica to have afternoon tea in their spare time after class, and then talk about interesting things in school.
Of course, men will not be invited to join this kind of party. It is a party between girls. When Ashelica and her fiancé Howard have afternoon tea, Charlie and Mary will not join them.
"But Miss Ogis is here too, so I think it should be okay."
Gu Leiya said a little embarrassedly. Strictly speaking, she was the culprit. She mentioned the fact that Xia Li often came to see Duanmu Huai when she was drinking tea with An, which aroused An's interest and pulled her and Mary together.
"Although that's what I said, we haven't invited Mr. Knight to have afternoon tea yet."
"Hey? Haven't you two invited Mr. Duanmu to have afternoon tea?"
Mary was shocked when she heard An's answer. Aren't these two Duanmu Huai's fiancées? Generally speaking, this is how unmarried couples should increase their relationship - at least that's what Ashelika and her fiancé Howard did.
"Do you think Mr. Knight is the kind of person who enjoys the atmosphere of afternoon tea and then uses sweet words to make girls happy?"
"Well…………………"
I have to say that Mary really had nothing to say to An's question. In fact, even now, Duanmu Huai is not at all like the afternoon tea participant she imagined. Generally speaking, afternoon tea is mainly about chatting and drinking tea. The desserts are almost just embellishments and are mainly used to communicate feelings. .
But this person really ate afternoon tea as lunch. Looking at him with a sandwich in his left hand, a waffle in his right hand, and a cup of black tea... Mary was really speechless.
To be honest, it is very rude and rude to do this kind of thing at this kind of event, but looking at Charlie, she doesn't seem to care, she just smiles like a maid and pours water for Duanmu Huai... Could it be Does Charlie really like Mr. Duanmu? No reason? They haven't met each other a few times, and Mr. Duanmu doesn't seem to have any special thoughts about Charlie...
Thinking of this, Mary only felt some unexplained anguish deep in her heart, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
Fortunately, at this moment, someone appeared and interrupted the afternoon tea party.
"Ah, Lord Knight!"
Lorena ran in, but there wasn't a drop of sweat on her forehead.
"Miss Lumière, please go to the command room. She seems to have discovered something! It's about the evil god!"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Duanmuhuai immediately stuffed the waffle in his mouth into his mouth, and then stood up.
"I'll go immediately."
Arriving at the command room, Ecott, Lumière and her partner Eclair had been waiting for a long time, but Duanmuhuai just glanced at it and immediately asked a question.
"what's the situation?"
"That's right, Mr. Inquisitor."
Faced with Duanmu Huai's inquiry, Lumière quickly gave an answer.
"Just two hours ago, Miss Ecote's reconnaissance fleet discovered an artificial satellite in an edge galaxy. It was initially detected that this artificial satellite belongs to a human civilization that we have not yet contacted. We conducted a test on this satellite. Research and read its information..."
"Any questions?"
Looking at Lumière's complicated expression, Duanmu Huai frowned, and the latter just sighed.
"You'll know just by listening."
As he spoke, Lumière took out the terminal and opened the file. Soon, a voice emerged from it.
"Hello, fellow citizens in the universe, we are a civilization from the beautiful star of the Tacosha galaxy. We greet all civilized races who heard the message from this satellite with high respect and friendship, and welcome you to our The beautiful planet is a rich planet. We have freedom and noble civilization standards. I believe we will be able to coexist peacefully with you..."
"What the fuck is this stupid thing?"
After listening to this voice message, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but swear. No wonder he wanted to curse. The voice was so disgusting that it made people feel sick. It was as if Lu Zhishen was imitating Hua Xianzi and made Duanmu Huai want to punch him to death.
But Duanmuhuai also understood why Lumière thought this was related to the evil god. After all, he knew the owner of the voice was definitely not a normal person.
"The satellite does contain coordinates and environmental information about the beautiful star. It is initially judged that it belongs to a living environment that humans can adapt to... But Mr. Inquisitor, there are really civilizations that are stupid enough to take the initiative to launch their own into the universe. Civilized materials and information?”
"Idiots can be found everywhere. Idiots can be seen everywhere. What's so surprising about this."
Regarding Lumiere's question, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.
"Have you locked the position of the planet?"
"It's locked."
"Very good, I'll go and see the situation myself. Maybe that planet has become a plaything of the evil of obsession."
To say who among the evil gods Duanmu Huai knows would do such disgusting things that make people want to kill them, naturally the only one is Obsession.
According to the coordinates provided by the satellite, Duanmuhuai and his party soon arrived at the planet called Beautiful Star, but...
"everything is normal."
Lumière monitored it carefully and then answered.
"The following obviously belongs to a relatively backward civilization. They haven't even had the ability to travel out of their own planet for interstellar travel. At least here, I can't see any sign of a threat. Their electronic level is very fragile, and their weapons are not powerful. Relatively low, still gunpowder type..."
"Then there's nothing we can do."
After hearing Lumière's answer, Duanmu Huai touched his chin.
"Let's be an invader from outer space."
