The Mage in the Late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 924: Paintings of the Paralytic Emperor

[I swung the lightsaber into a red curtain of light, and the evil spirits were peeled off piece by piece. When I swung the lightsaber faster than it could heal, the cracks were torn open again. ]

[Many spirit robberies saw this and charged again. ]

[I worked together with these little guys with pointed mouths and monkey cheeks to reopen the passage to the evil spirit's cover. ]

[I made a quick decision and cut a hole in it first, and poured the bottle of kowtow beetle venom I collected into it. ]

[The mine was shaking. ]

[I retreated immediately. ]

[The spirit robbery also retreated like a tide, no longer fighting with the evil spirit. ]

[The evil spirit's huge body, as big as a mountain, shrank rapidly, and one by one the withered bones were squeezed out by its shrinking body, and the flesh and blood on the bones had long been devoured. ]

[The foul-smelling liquid melted from the meat mountain and flowed all over the ground. ]

[The smell could make people faint. ]

[I turned around, but found that the boy was stupid and foolish, as if he was sleepwalking. ]

[He seemed to have entered a state of being possessed by the evil spirit again and couldn't extricate himself. ]

[But at this time, I had no time to care about anything else. I carried the boy on my shoulders and ran out quickly. ]

[This time, the spiritual calamity did not stop us. ]

[I stepped on the roots of the desert and took ten steps at a time, and got out of the mine before the rancid liquid reached me. ]

[I stepped on the ladder and climbed to the top of the cliff. ]

[The boy woke up from his dream and said with a start: Fearless Pioneer, have we escaped? ]

[I looked at the top of the mine and said: There is no sky yet, but we escaped. ]

[The boy recalled: I just had a dream, and the angry evil spirit showed me a picture. Soon, there will be a storm, which will sweep every piece of land in the cursed desert, whether it is the Rune City, the Brilliant Oasis or the Mirage. ]

[I asked him: Do you think this is true, or is the evil spirit deliberately making you spread rumors? ]

[The boy said: Fearless Vanguard, I think this is true, because it is too real, maybe it is a curse. ]

[We walked out, and soon we heard voices coming from the front of the mine. ]

[I said to the boy: I can only take you here, and you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. ]

[The boy was surprised and said: You are not going out? ]

[I said: I will go out, but not in this way. I hope we will meet again in the future. ]

[The boy said gratefully: Fearless Vanguard, I will not forget your life-saving grace, and I will definitely repay you. ]

[I smiled and retreated into the darkness, putting on the shadow cloak. ]

[I secretly followed the boy for a while until he met the black dragon knight and many desert rangers coming from the front. ]

[The boy said proudly: You will not believe what I encountered in the mine, this time you must let me become a desert ranger... ]

[I smiled and teleported back to the Rune City. ]

[I sneaked into the mansion of the noble descendants and gave him the sound-absorbing cold iron ore. ]

[The descendant of the nobles handed me the last manuscript and said to me: Fearless Pioneer, I promised to give you the manuscript, but I didn't promise that I wouldn't copy a copy. ]

[I have to say: You are really cunning. ]

[The descendant of the nobles said: Although I don't have the talent to learn the methods of my ancestors, I believe that there will always be someone among my descendants who can do it. ]

[I teleported back to the pioneer companions' safe haven with the manuscript. ]

[I called the craftsman and said: From today, we will expand the tower and consolidate the foundation. We must make the tower able to withstand the strong wind that can blow away the giant beetle and withstand the test of being buried by the yellow sand. We will use goods to exchange a large amount of food and other survival supplies. ]

[The craftsman was puzzled: Fearless Pioneer, what happened? ]

[I said: I suspect that the Cursed Desert will usher in an epic storm. ]

[The craftsman was worried: We don't have much money in our hands. We must buy off the natural guardians as soon as possible and trade with them in various ways. ]

[I said: Leave this matter to you. I have something to do. 】

【I almost immediately began to expand the tower, thicken the outer stone wall, and have enough space to accommodate refugees and store supplies. Xingyue opened the manuscript until very late. 】

Zhao Chuanxin closed the "Old God Code".

Xingyue came out and said to him: "The era of logical integration technology has come, and the second industrial revolution belonging to the world of "Old God Code" is about to begin."

Zhao Chuanxin was moved.

Xingyue said: "After integrating the three manuscripts, I realized that compared with humans, what I lack is not the soul."

"What is that?" Zhao Chuanxin was not interested in whether it had a soul, but whether it had self-awareness.

Xingyue said: "You have three brain areas. The first brain area has evolved since the emergence of reptiles 360 million years ago. It is the instinctive brain area, which only knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm. The second brain area has evolved since the emergence of mammals about 200 million years ago. It is the emotional brain area. The third brain area is the rational brain area that humans developed about 2.5 million years ago. In your brain, instincts and emotions account for more than 80%. They have evolved the longest, are becoming more and more perfect, and consume very little energy. Your rationality accounts for less than 20% and is not perfect. The instinctive and emotional brain areas are in charge of the subconscious and physiological systems, and are always in control of vision, hearing, touch, breathing, heartbeat, blood pressure... Its operating speed is extremely fast, up to 11 million times per second. The rational brain area runs at a speed of only 40 times/second. The defect of human thinking is that the first two brains have evolved for a long time, but they are incompatible with the third rational brain area in infancy. I am just the opposite. I have no instincts and emotions, I only have rational brain areas. In addition, the original inhabitants of Haishi Void Realm have a ratio of rational brain area to instinct and emotion brain area of ​​3:2:5... "

"I disagree." Zhao Chuanxin immediately retorted: "According to you, instinct and emotion are the human soul? How can the soul be so low? And you are equivalent to directly affirming the theory of evolution."

Everyone is willing to accept that they are aliens, even if they are prisoners held by aliens. This conspiracy theory can be accepted, or they are directly made by girls, gods, etc.

They just don't want to accept that humans evolved from some kind of apes, and don't want to face the ugly past.

"But your brain mechanism won't lie." Xingyue said calmly in an old lady's voice: "If the rational brain area prevails, people will not have the habits of greed, laziness, and dislike of thinking. Not thinking, reducing the number of times the rational brain area runs, can reduce energy consumption. This is the manifestation of seeking benefits and avoiding harm in the evolutionary process. It is the instinct and emotional brain area that controls your behavior, and the same is true for laziness. You have both."

"Nonsense, I am a diligent student who gets up at the crowing of the cock and hangs books on the horns of the cow..."

"Your physiological characteristics tell me that you are lying. Your patinated recliner proves that you are not sincere."

"Fuck you..."

Xingyue explained to Zhao Chuanxin that in the Cursed Desert, the instinct and emotional brain areas of the natives of the Brilliant Oasis account for a larger proportion, while the instinct and emotion of the natives of the Sea City Void Realm account for a smaller proportion, and the proportion of the residents of the Rune City is balanced and normal.

The Sea City Void Realm is good at judgment, so it has mastered the correct singularity axiom.

The Brilliant Oasis is more willing to stabilize emotions and seek benefits and avoid harm, giving birth to living habits that are in line with the laws of nature.

Rune City is good at combining various technical inventions.

Xingyue said: "The living environment of the sand bandits determines that their habits are more similar to those of the Brilliant Oasis. The rebel leader was born as a sand bandit. The desert emperor was driven out of power, which is equivalent to breaking the balance of the cursed desert. Based on this, it can be inferred that the alliance of the Sea City Realm and the Brilliant Oasis and the Rune City will have a battle sooner or later until a new balance begins."

Zhao Chuanxin put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin and said: "It's okay for them to beat their brains into dog brains. The key is, can you build an amphibious all-terrain supercar now?"

"Yes."

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin heard Juliana's hysterical scream.

Not crying, but making a fuss.

Zhao Chuanxin hurried to Margot's room.

Juliana angrily tore Margot's clothes and pulled the collar long.

Zhao Chuanxin's pupils contracted.

Wow...

What a scale.

He pretended not to see her, walked over and picked up Juliana: "What are you calling for?"

"Dad." Juliana stopped calling immediately.

She was calling just to find Zhao Chuanxin.

Margot hurriedly tidied her clothes and brushed her hair.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and turned to go out.

He closed his door and released the black puppet craftsman and puppet servant.

Juliana was immediately interested and struggled to touch it.

But Zhao Chuanxin didn't let her.

Xingyue manipulated the black puppet craftsman to hold down the Misty Traveler, and the outer metal expanded and cracked and rolled outward.

Zhao Chuanxin saw the internal structure of the Misty Traveler for the first time. It was very complicated and completely different from the technology of the Earth.

Xingyue said: "I need you to cooperate with the design."

Zhao Chuanxin put on his glasses and kept giving suggestions while holding Juliana.

The six arms of the black puppet craftsman swung at a dazzling speed, and metal accessories were planted one by one.

Sound-absorbing cold iron is mainly used to make jets and pipes, which is equivalent to extending the original Misty Traveler.

Four small wheels were installed at the bottom of the cabin.

The seats were filled with down and genuine leather, the pedals had anti-skid edges, and Zhao Chuanxin melted rubber to cover the handles.

The upper cabin was closed, with only the air inlet and outlet holes facing backwards at the rear of the streamlined cabin, with True Vision Crystal fragments installed around it. There was no windshield in the front, and only one True Vision Crystal was installed inside.

Designed and manufactured, but installation takes a lot of time and it is difficult to complete in a short time.

But the finished product has been presented on the glasses. Zhao Chuanxin observed it repeatedly and shook his head and said, "I always feel that something is missing. By the way, there are no weapons."

Xingyue said, "Four hidden M1907 launchers on both wings, loaded with cruise missiles. The top dark cabin is equipped with a single-row rainstorm pear blossom needle that can be lifted and lowered, which can instantly fire 25 projectiles."

Xingyue simulated the scene of firing on land and sea for him.

Zhao Chuanxin felt that the scene was shabby, but the "car" that was originally a supercar has now become a "motorcycle", and its volume can only accommodate this ammunition depot.

Margot was worried, so she wandered outside for a long time and finally knocked on the door.

Zhao Chuanxin collected the scattered parts.

So many things disappeared in the blink of an eye. Juliana was destined not to be afraid at her age, but curious: "Dad, it's gone, it's gone..."

"Dad is still here, and he won't be gone for another century."

When he opened the door, Margot stood outside the door with a look of restlessness.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said: "She pooped her pants, I'll clean her up and give it to you later."

Old Zhao is actually a very smart person.

In just a few days, he can have a simple conversation with people in Dutch under the guidance of Xingyue.

Margot was surprised.

When had she ever heard of a noble lord changing a child's diaper himself?

Not to mention Zhao Chuanxin, Wilhelmina, as a mother, has never done such a thing.

After speaking, Zhao Chuanxin closed the door and looked down at Juliana with an innocent face: "Today is your big wash day."

Zhao Chuanxin was not just talking.

First clean up, then warm water, the water flows from the little fat arms like tender lotus roots from bottom to top, Zhao Chuanxin uses an index finger to press a ball of cashmere to gently rub his daughter.

"Is it cold?"

"No."

"Is it hot?"

"No."

"Don't move, Dad will give you a bath."

"Giggle..." Juliana always wants to pinch the running water, but the rolling water seems to have eyes and can always avoid it.

Zhao Chuanxin even washed Juliana's hair, but did not do it, just used the power of the flowing water to rub the sparse hair, and finally fixed the daughter's style.

Juliana's milk smell disappeared, and she was refreshed to be a baby.

Zhao Chuanxin washed all her clothes and blankets, evaporated the water vapor, and dressed her neatly after warming them.

The knock on the door sounded again.

Zhao Chuanxin was helpless, Margot, the maid, was even more responsible than her own mother.

But when he opened the door, he found a guard standing at the door.

The guards cast a curious look at Juliana.

They heard that His Majesty had a child, but it was not Hendrick's.

They also knew that the man in front of them was the legendary Far East Butcher.

Wilhelmina let herself go, the news was like water, and Noordeinburg and the ministers seemed to have developed roots, which sucked the news with a sizzling sound and spread rapidly.

Being stared at by the guards, Juliana was not afraid at all, waving her arms: "Dad, beat him..."

"What a good girl, this is a teammate, you can't beat him."

Guards: "..."

As expected, as the rumors said, Juliana could speak at the age of eight months.

Could it be that the Dutch royal family is going to have a genius queen?

He then remembered the business: "Sir, the Prime Minister asked me to take you to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building."

Zhao Chuanxin went to the next door and knocked on the door, but Margot was not there.

Since Wilhelmina made Juliana public, Margot has also been free and relaxed.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't want to hand the child over to someone else, so he wrapped Juliana in a blanket, held her and said, "Let's go."

The guard opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.

He heard that yesterday, several guards drew their swords, but were beaten by the man in front of them and were completely defeated.

It's better not to ask for trouble.

The two took a carriage to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building.

Zhao Chuanxin held his daughter, who was wrapped like a cocoon, in one arm, and went upstairs with a cigarette in his right hand.

The staff passing by cast surprised glances.

"Is that the queen's lover Zhao Chuanxin?"

"He actually brought the princess here."

"It is said that the princess can speak at eight months old, I wonder if it's true."

Juliana has excellent hearing, and the cocoon only shows a little fat face, grinning at them: "Really."

The few people: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin raised the corner of his mouth and carried Juliana into the door.

The Foreign Secretary and Jane Simscock and others, including Wilhelmina, were there.

"Zhao, this is a German diplomat..."

"Okay, no need to introduce, I'm not interested." Zhao Chuanxin said impatiently.

He put on his glasses while speaking.

Jane Simscock was not embarrassed.

He was somewhat used to Zhao Chuanxin's temper.

Perhaps, Zhao Chuanxin reserved his patience for the little one in his arms.

Wilhelmina saw Zhao Chuanxin holding Juliana in her arms, and her expression was helpless.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't care about that, and skillfully peeled off the cocoon shell, revealing the white and fat little thing inside.

Juliana untied the restraints and waved excitedly. She had never been here before.

The German diplomat also stared at Juliana curiously.

Jane Simscock said: "You said you would wait until Zhao came to tell me, now you can tell me."

The diplomat said arrogantly and maliciously: "Our emperor asked me to send a gift."

Wilhelmina had a bad feeling in her heart.

Europeans knew what kind of person the German emperor was.

This guy didn't do many human things.

She said sarcastically: "Berlin is not close to The Hague, the Kaiser's gift is really timely."

Since they are no longer the coachmen of the sea, the Dutch have changed from proud to introverted, but they are not afraid of power and do not obey discipline. It is roughly - I do my own thing, I don't participate in the war, don't bother me.

So Kaiser Wilhelm II dared to tease.

The German diplomat smiled and took out a painting: "Although it is not an original, it is of great significance at this time. And you don't have to be angry because this painting is not an original. After all, even the one in His Majesty's hand is not an original."

As he said, he handed the painting to Wilhelmina.

Wilhelmina opened the scroll.

This is a printed "Peoples of the World, Protect Your Most Precious Assets".

Wilhelmina turned pale.

Jan Simscock and the Foreign Minister looked equally ugly.

Their eyelids twitched wildly, and they looked at Zhao Chuanxin out of the corner of their eyes.

The German diplomat smiled and looked at the faces of everyone in the room, and said proudly: "His Majesty the Emperor said that we are trying our best to imitate the Huns a thousand years ago, forcing the Chinese to never dare to look at the Germans again. But your behavior makes him feel ashamed and embarrassed."

After this, Wilhelmina finally couldn't help it: "Shut up."

Even Juliana waved her little finger at the German diplomat: "Dad, beat him..."

Zhao Chuanxin blew a puff of smoke: "Okay."

Everyone: "..."

But the German diplomat continued to flatter: "His Majesty the Emperor also said that if you hand over the country to this black-eyed child, he will feel very disappointed, maybe you shouldn't own so much land!"

Historically, Emperor Wilhelm II was famous for his big mouth.

He often speaks outrageously, and sometimes even his subordinates dare not respond.

This time is no exception.

The air in the room seems to be stagnant.

No one dares to breathe.

Only Juliana said: "Dad, beat the emperor!"

Zhao Chuanxin smiled unchanged and blew another smoke ring: "Okay."

Everyone: "..."

The German diplomat's face darkened: "I heard that the princess could speak at eight months old, but I didn't expect her to say such words. I'm afraid that her elders instigated her to speak like this? By the way, the German emperor said that it would be best to hand over the murderer who beat our German nobles to us Germany for disposal."

Zhao Chuanxin was happy.

He walked to Wilhelmina, whose chest was heaving with anger, patted her on the shoulder and said: "Come, show me the painting of the polio emperor."

The German diplomat widened his eyes and pointed at Zhao Chuanxin: "How outrageous..."

"Ah..."

Before he finished speaking, the man screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and his index finger changed from parallel to the ground to vertical upwards.

"Zhao..." Zhao Chuanxin suddenly stopped swearing and said with a smile: "Okay, the murderer will be transferred to Berlin soon, just wait."
