After living with the widow Fina for nearly two hundred hours, Luo Binhan finally felt that his enthusiasm was responded to. Of course, that was far from being able to put it on her shoulder, but Fina, who didn't see Yaleriga, was obviously much calmer, and even took the initiative to lean near the feeding port when Luo Binhan was feeding raw meat.
Luo Binhan poked its head through the cage: "Are you surrendering to the thieves now? Where is the promised Sanzhen Jiulie?"
Fina swept her tail coldly. Its scales can change colors that are very similar to the environment, and its richness far exceeds the chameleons Luo Binhan knew. If it wasn't locked in a cage, Luo Binhan wasn't even sure he could find it from this room.
Despite this, he noticed that Fina's interest in raw meat was declining, so much so that she was often left with extra pieces of meat. This was neither sanitary nor healthy, so he had to hold the cage and go to Momolo for help.
Momolo put his hand on the top of the cage, used a white light to comfort Fina, and then guided Luo Binhan to clean up the bedding sand and minced meat in the cage.
"The ghost paralyzed lizard's staple food should be insects." Momolo thought after thinking and judged, "It needs to eat complete live food. Long-term consumption of raw meat or vegetarian food will lead to malnutrition."
This almost stumped Luo Binhan until Momolo told him that the Silence originally had a small artificial greenhouse and some stored insect eggs.
"Do we still have this thing?" Luo Binhan asked in shock.
"Yes, Mr. Luo. The flowers on the table are all grown in the greenhouse."
"What about the eggs?"
"Those are just ordinary ingredients." Momolo said in a natural tone.
Luo Binhan froze. He remembered that he had eaten many cake dishes with unknown fillings on the ship.
Momolo did not give him time to digest the news, but pushed him and Fina's cage to the greenhouse on the upper floor of the spacecraft. On the way, he explained to Luo Binhan the difficulty of maintaining this ecosystem - when silence When the ship switched to the magic rudder mode, most of the technical equipment on the ship were shut down, and the artificial greenhouse had to urgently harvest and seal all the results, waiting to be cultivated again when it was restarted.
Now Luo Binhan finally understood what they relied on to make a living when they didn't meet their colleagues by chance. He visited the small but sophisticated greenhouse with mixed emotions. There were stacked glass boxes and lights everywhere, and nutrient solution pipes were distributed like leaf veins, making the greenhouse as a whole look like a neatly cut titanium crystal.
∈ At Momolo's request, he found a jar of green beetle eggs for them and put them into a rapid incubation box to hatch. During this period, Luo Binhan fed Fina some Milan flower stems that were said to have similar effects to spring whale leaves, and then he saw the lizard began to shake its head happily at him again.
"This thing is so disloyal," he rebuked very perfunctorily.
"Squamates are not good at remembering companions," Momolo explained. "Dragons, snakes, lizards... they are always used to living alone and have no sense of community. We can only build familiarity through feeding. Let it recognize you, Mr. Luo, as part of the earth. This is the independent will of life, Mr. Luo."
Luo Binhan didn't really care how Fina looked at him. He opened the cage door when it was in a good mood, fed it a few fresh and plump green beetle larvae under Momolo's supervision, and then scratched the thinnest scales on its chin. The whole process went surprisingly smoothly, and Momolo immediately announced that Fina was ready to enter the next step of training. He asked ∈ to prepare a dummy that looked quite realistic.
"You first need to determine a simple signal," Momolo said, "It is best to use a sound or gesture that can attract its attention, so that it understands that Mr. Luo, you need it to attack a specific target."
This step presents a huge obstacle. Fina was indifferent to all Luo Binhan's wild dancing and shouting, and even dozed off in contempt. Forced by helplessness, Luo Binhan had to resort to the last resort.
He took out a copper ring from his pocket, put it on his hand and touched the pattern.
"Now," said the ring.
Fina suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Luo Binhan's fingers intently.
"Fuck," Luo Binhan said, "Aren't you?"
He shook his ringed hand, and his cold reptilian eyes moved accordingly. The fact was before his eyes, and he could only regret why he bought this unfortunate ring in the first place.
Momolo looked happy in comparison. He immediately told Luo Binhan to take this "command whistle" with him so that Fina could develop the habit of listening to signals.
Luo Binhan agreed with both pleasure and pain, and then faced the next problem: Fina would stare at the ring, but otherwise do nothing.
"Bite it." Luo Binhan pointed at the dummy with his ringed finger.
Fina remained motionless. The golden baby dragon sleeping on the soft chair snored at this time. Luo Binhan, who was doubly humiliated by the reptiles, was furious and was about to severely criticize Fina when Yaleriga and Jing Huang walked into the hall at that moment.
At that moment, Luo Binhan had no time to do anything. He only felt a translucent phantom shot towards Yaleriga, and immediately the whole room became extremely bright.
"What the hell is this?" Jing Huang said, holding Fina's tail. A white rope emerged from his collar, tightly binding Fina's mouth that was about to spit out venom.
Luo Binhan quickly stepped forward to explain the reason. After hearing this, Jing Huang raised Fina in front of him and looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
Colorful flames suddenly danced in the depths of his pupils.
Fina was obviously frightened and stood stiffly still. Jing Huang swept his sleeves, and three balls of flames floated in the air, swirling around them.
"Did you see this?" He pointed at his eyes and said, "I'll give you two choices. Either you protect that loser with the ring, or I flatter you, the loser who is a freeloader."
Fina was so frightened that she lost her reaction. The golden baby dragon on the soft chair cast a lazy glance, then raised his head and sneezed.
Jing Huang casually threw it back to Luo Binhan. When the white rope was released, Fina no longer attacked Yaleriga, but immediately shrank behind Luo Binhan. Luo Binhan felt that it might not really understand Jing Huang's words, but at least it recognized who was the lazy dog with the worst temper on the ship.
Yaleriga was unfazed by this situation. She came to the table holding several rolls of paper and spread them out one by one. Luo Binhan saw some extremely simple and abstract graphics painted on it.
Zhou Ba ran over from the chair in the corner and stood on tiptoe at the table looking at the paintings.
At this time, Luo Binhan felt that he had not seen her for half his life, but he was used to the little girl's elusiveness anyway, so he pointed at the abstract paintings and asked: "Are these children's paintings of classmate Xiaoba?"
"Map." Yaleriga said.
Luo Binhan really couldn't believe what she said. The picture on the paper is too abstract, even the pirate treasure map in the cartoon is better than it. What's more, he is now vaguely aware that they are constantly traveling between many worlds - something that cannot be put on a piece of paper no matter how you think about it.
"This is the prophet's map drawn by Sybil." Yaleriga looked at the paper, "They are describing the location of the object they are looking for to the captain."
Luo Binhan's questions instantly piled up as high as a mountain, and he felt like he had read all those books in vain. Finally, he picked the one he felt was most urgent, turned to Jing Huang and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"I don't know." Jing Huang said.
"Do you really not know what the hell you are doing, or are you trying to make some philosophical prank on me?"
Jing Huang frowned: "I want to find a way to break the curse without erasing the karma of the cursed person."
"What curse? The White River Curse? Are you going to fish for 'Freeze'?"
"Fuck him. He's dead. Sooner or later, his ashes will be spread."
Luo Binhan asked a few more questions about what Jing Huang was looking for, but the other party was always vague. He stopped caring and asked, "Then where should we go next?"
This question received a clear response.
"Go to the Scenic Railway." Yaleriga said.
