Once he learned about their next destination, Luo Binhan immediately put aside his previous worries and felt sad about the new separation. This fragile state of emotion surprised himself, and in the end he could only blame it on a heavier background: Jing Huang continued to sleep, and he could not even find a suitable sparring partner in his daily life.
He tried to chat with Lan Que for a while longer, but the latter was busy writing his own return report. Luo Binhan peeped secretly, unable to recognize the words she wrote, and was too embarrassed to always hang around her and harass her, so he had to find other people for entertainment.
He first saw Marin and Momolo in the hall. Marin remained the same, while Momolo sat quietly with a deep and formidable expression, as if he was meditating on the ultimate problem of the world. Luo Binhan didn't dare to disturb him rashly, so he had to run to whisper to Ma Lin first.
"I told you a long time ago." Marin said, "This is the White Tower. When they set out on the road to seek magic, they swore not to be bound by any past relationships. After becoming mages, they may go back and take a look, but don't I hope there won’t be any deep feelings.”
"What happens after that? Don't they make any new friends?"
"I can't say for sure."
Marin also wanted to discuss the White Tower Master's social concepts, but Luo Binhan quickly turned to ask about the Durand people. He had always imagined them as weird confectioners wearing top hats, but Marin gave him a completely different description: colorful, sticky and slippery skin; slightly protruding eyes like goldfish (some ethnic minorities Huge blisters will also extend on the sides of the cheeks, covering the gills on the neck); the voice of the speaker will always rise and fall like waves, which is pleasant to the ear, but will actually drain the last penny out of your wallet.
This was not the candy profiteer Luo Binhan imagined. He spit out the flower stem in his mouth and said, "Fishman?"
"Absolutely, but it's best not to mention it in front of them." Marin said, "It's a culturally derogatory term, just like calling you an ape."
In fact, Luo Binhan felt that there was nothing to care about in this regard, but since Marin warned him that the Durand people had a tradition of hiring security guards, he decided to be polite after landing.
"Since they have a security team, why don't we ask them to help Frosttail?" He asked on a whim, "Can they move everyone on the entire planet?"
"It's not recommended to do this." Marin said cautiously, "Their candy is really good, but you'd better find out their charging standards and what happens to the races they decide to take in. I quite like it. There is no need for our savage friends to become interstellar refugees. After all, not every nation is as free and loose as cat people."
"who?"
"I mean the Durand security guards."
Luo Binhan realized that things were completely different from what he thought. He inquired carefully with Malinzai, and finally understood that the people hired by the Durandians were not those who had met him a few times, but a group of wandering people who had lost their homeland and drifted around.
"They used to live in a place called Lepanting." Marin explained to him. "It was basically a floating land floating in the universe, inhabited by various element controllers. The cat people were harmless inside. They are a race. They have a little weird temperament, but generally they are easy to get along with, but they don’t have much status. Later, Tuo Peikan’s resource dealers occupied a piece of wasteland in Lepanting. They used some tricks and claimed that they only used hills Piles of gold coins were exchanged for that piece of wild land, and as a result, a microbial enrichment technology was used to mine the elemental crystals of the entire continent. For the elemental creatures, it would be the end of the family! So there is nothing to say, the element controller We fought with them for almost a hundred years, and no one could be considered a winner, but Lepanting was completely finished now. Most of the cat people also ran away with Tuo Peikan's ship. Some were sold, and some wanted to go out on their own. Run - those things are not very magical, but sometimes their ideas are as weird as ancient laws. They rarely form groups, and they just run around according to their temper. Only one of them is relatively stable, and they follow in the end. Durander.”
Marin briefly introduced to Luo Binhan this group of cat people who believed in the "Lion Way" and their current settlement, "Upside Down Star". Based on his fragmentary description, Luo Binhan sketched in his mind a cat-headed cowboy who was nearly human-tall, covered in belts and spikes, and holding fish bone candy in his mouth.
The conversation on this topic became more and more interesting, and finally Marin decided to sing a popular song "Le Pamplenci" written by the popular Catman singer.
He called ∈ to accompany him, and the performance began with a melody full of electronic sounds from the entire virtual band.
"Ah Lepan! Lepan! Flat and square Lepan!" Marin sang, "The sky is short and round, the earth is flat and square. Jump into the deep space of the universe, and drill into the back of the continent. Plunxi it Holding an iron rod, it beats villains and gangsters everywhere. Meow meow! It holds an iron rod, leather boots, and a bird feather hat. Meow meow! It walks in the ice crystal hall, it walks in the Flame Mountains, it walks in the nature Sen, finally it jumped up to the candy tower! Meow meow!”
There is still a second half to this song, but Luo Binhan can no longer listen to it. He fell to the ground laughing so hard that he almost choked on his own saliva.
"Is this the level of pop music in your world?" he asked out of breath.
"Then what the hell do you expect to see?" Marin said calmly, "That's a cat standing on the stage singing, okay? You still can't figure out why it's popular?"
Luo Binhan had no special feelings about this. He has never owned a cat and considers himself a dog lover. After laughing enough at "Meow Marlin," he finally got up from the ground and slipped over to harass Momolo, who was in deep thought.
"Old Mo, what are you thinking about?" He sat next to Momoluo and said, "You were able to hold back your laughter when Marin sang just now?"
Momolo blinked and said calmly and slightly doubtfully: "Mr. Marin sang very well. The tone and rhythm are very close to the original singer."
Luo Binhan patted him on the shoulder and decided not to evaluate the aesthetic level of a conscientious person.
"I still have something to tell you." He said to Momolo seriously, "You have a habit that you need to change."
Momolo sat up straight: "Please tell me, Mr. Luo! I really hope to hear my shortcomings!"
"It's not a deficiency. I have to ask, do you have any relatives named Dai?"
"No, Mr. Luo. I don't remember knowing anyone of the same clan named Dai."
"That's good." Luo Binhan said, "I thought I saw you fighting Wan Zhong before, and you were emitting light waves. This time you can just play whack-a-mole. If you are facing waves in the future, remember to shoot from the right. This way you have a better chance of winning. Talented."
Momolo tilted her head and looked at him in confusion, immersed in analyzing the principles of this conclusion. Luo Binhan ran away happily, first to visit Jing Huang who was sleeping as if death, and then wanted to play cards with Popa for a while. As a result, neither Joel Farman nor Popa was there, and the door to Wan Bozi's room was also closed. ∈ refused to disclose to him what was going on in the room, so Luo Binhan had no way of knowing what the three people were hiding in the room.
He continued to find people to harass and targeted Yaleriga who was sitting in the greenhouse. He found that the mate, who was busy with everything, was sitting at the table with hot tea and fruits in front of him. He took advantage of the opportunity of the captain to raise his body and openly fished.
"You, old man, are very free now." He walked over and said, pretending to be casual.
Yaleriga picked up the tea cup with one finger and looked at him vaguely. It seemed like he was trying to cope with all changes by staying the same, so Luo Binhan asked straight to the point: "Tell me about your ex-boyfriend?"
"No."
"Tell me about it. You are free now anyway."
"I'm thinking about the task I want to assign to you - if you want to know what happened in the Doomsday Temple, you must use your own efforts in exchange."
"What do you want me to do again?"
Yaleriga held the teacup and thought intently. After a few minutes, she put down the cup and said, "Our next destination has personnel from the White Tower stationed there. I need you to escort the three apprentices on the ship back, and come back to see me with the White Tower's lost property return thank-you gold."
"Fuck," Luo Binhan said, "You are selling people!"
"Then I will tell you about the Temple of Doom. Ministry."
Luo Binhan slapped the table without thinking: "Deal!"
He almost rushed out to look for the pen and paper to create the evidence. But Yaleriga held him down and said to him in a dangerous tone: "You must do one more thing before sending them back."
"What's the matter? Your order."
"Hospitality," announced Yaleriga, "she stayed on our ship for some time and provided improvements to our greenhouse. It is necessary to give her a little hospitality before leaving. We have enough money to please She is going to visit the Durand people's business district - you are responsible for seeing her off, and you have to do everything before she enters the tower gate."
