"Isn't this just a big courtyard? Why is it a study?" Meng Qingxiao couldn't understand.
There is indeed a large courtyard ahead, with walls and gates. Two Boji guards are standing at the door. There is a dome above the head to block the wind and snow. Because it is a sunny day, from the dome you can see the dark red sunset like splashing ink, except for a little. A bit colder, the sky here is no different from that on earth.
From their perspective, they couldn't see the house inside. If there was a house inside, the courtyard wall would be higher than the house.
"This is the study, sir. The house inside is an 8-story structure, all built underground."
"Oh, thank you."
Meng Qingxiao stepped towards the door. The two guards at the door did not stop him and allowed him to open the door and go in.
The courtyard wall is indeed high enough, almost 5 meters, and the gate is also very high. When Meng Qingxiao entered, he felt as if he had entered a kingdom of giants.
The door was ajar. Although it looked very big, it was easy to push. When Meng Qingxiao walked in, he saw a downward step. There was a silver guardrail inlaid with glass on the inside of the step. Inside the guardrail was a shaft. .
Meng Qingxiao held on to the guardrail and looked down. He found that the shaft became narrower as he went down, and the platform on the lower level was clearly visible. He felt a very familiar feeling, and it took him a moment to think about it. Isn't this just an upside-down pagoda?
Meng Qingxiao wanted to call His Majesty the King, but he thought that this was a study and it would be rude for him to yell up there, so he had to go down step by step.
Soon he came to the first floor, or the minus 1 floor, and he saw that the books in this world turned out to be crystal plates one after another, slightly larger than a 16-karat book. The edges of the crystal plates had metal rims of various colors. .
Meng Qingxiao picked up a board from the shelf. When he was thinking about how to use it, the crystal board had already emitted a layer of light, and soon words appeared. It was Yuan Jiawen, and he could turn the page by touching it with his finger. .
This was a geographical chronicle, which introduced the origin of Kulimoko. Meng Qingxiao was very interested in it and started reading it unconsciously.
The main star Cordado has 29 planets, and its first planet is extremely hot. The average surface temperature in most areas is around 220 degrees all year round, and can reach a maximum of 280 degrees.
This planet is similar to Venus in that its rotation is longer than its revolution, with a rotation period of 289 days and a revolution period of 271 days.
If you look at such a planet according to the physical constitution of the people on earth, it is impossible for there to be any living beings. Carbon-based creatures will be cooked as soon as they are placed on it.
However, this is a living planet. It is Curido No. 8, named after the god of fire in the Nikanla mythology.
The aboriginal people of Planet 8 are beings between carbon-based life and elemental life. They are called Kurimoko, which means son of the God of Fire, and are referred to as Kurili people.
The resource that the Kuli people rely on for survival is not water, but fire. 70% of their bodies are made of fire elements. Of course, there is also water, but the proportion is very small. Their blood is a strong acid and will spontaneously ignite when exposed to air. .
The surface of Planet 8 is covered with volcanic lava, and its atmosphere is very thick, which helps it lock in water on the surface. Therefore, this planet also has oceans, but the sea water is hot.
Because of its harsh environment, Planet 8 makes it difficult for people from other planets to survive here. When the Nikanla people colonized this place in the early days, they built some underground cities in order to mine here. These underground cities have developed over thousands of years. , has now become quite large, and now even the Kuri people themselves will live in underground cities. Of course, the surface is also their world, and it is difficult for outsiders to rob it.
Meng Qingxiao read it for a while and found it very interesting, but he was afraid that His Majesty the King would be impatient and put it down in a hurry.
He didn't see anyone on the first floor, so he had to continue walking down. As a result, there was no one on the upper floors. It wasn't until the bottom floor that he finally saw a figure. Judging from the clothes and body shape, he was the king of Botie.
At this moment, Bo Tie was leaning on a shelf, with his head lowered and his back turned to Meng Qingxiao. He seemed to be fascinated by reading.
Meng Qingxiao admired him deeply. As a king, he loved reading so much. No wonder even a maid praised him highly.
"Your Majesty, what book are you reading that makes you so fascinated?"
Meng Qingxiao walked forward with a smile and patted the king's back gently. As a result, his patting did not matter. His Majesty the king fell straight down and hit the floor with a thud.
Meng Qingxiao looked at his hands and said in his heart: "I haven't used any strength."
But he immediately discovered something was wrong. There was a long dagger stuck in Bo Tie's chest (a sword in the hands of earthlings is a dagger to Boki people), and the king was actually dead.
"Xiao Dai, analyze the current situation." Meng Qingxiao drank some wine at the banquet and was a little confused now. However, he already had a bad premonition, but he couldn't believe it, so he asked Xiao Dai for help.
"Sir, you guessed it right." Xiao Dai replied, "I also think someone is trying to frame you."
"Have I offended anyone in the past two days?"
"I'm afraid it has nothing to do with you?"
"What? You want to frame me, and it has nothing to do with me?"
Xiao Dai explained: "I quickly searched the local situation on the Internet. The political situation of the Dongbang Dynasty is very complicated. It can be said that there are many factions. I suspect that someone wants to usurp the throne. Your arrival is just a coincidence. Even if you don't come, King He will die as well, and then someone else will be the unlucky one."
"Fuck, such a big piece of shit, just put it on my head so openly?"
"After all, we are foreigners. It is much easier to deal with us than to deal with local forces."
"Then what happens next?"
"Since they have decided to frame you, there is no point in escaping. We have to think of a way before they come. I have three plans, all of which are barely feasible. You choose."
"Say it."
"The first plan is to escape in the armor before they come. The dome above our heads cannot stop you."
"What about Shuhao Bai and the others?"
"You are just one of Shuhao Bai's subordinates. Killing is your personal act. Shuhao Bai needs to renounce his relationship with you in public, and then assist the local government in arresting you."
"Thanks to King Dongbang's previous publicity, the entire Hodu Niklas civilization circle now knows that we are here. This is an unprecedented diplomatic event. As long as Shuhao Bai and you dissociate, the Dongbang Dynasty will have a lot of potential. Most likely you won’t dare to do anything to them.”
"Then I become a fugitive?"
"Being a fugitive for the time being, we will secretly investigate who the real murderer is."
"What about the second option?"
"The second option is not to be a fugitive but a prisoner. As I just analyzed, as foreigners, we have a very special status. As long as we make the matter public and create as much public opinion as possible before the real murderer kills you, outsiders are not the same. Fool, there must be many people who believe you were wrongly accused.”
"The difficulty of this plan is that we must first announce the king's death before the real murderer takes action, create enough public opinion on the Internet, and tell everyone that you have been wronged. This way you can avoid being harmed in advance."
Xiao Dai once again emphasized: "Of course this is also a probabilistic event. If they ignore you and just want to kill you, then no matter how we create public opinion, it will be useless."
"You should be able to create public opinion on the Internet, right?"
"It's a bit difficult. I reluctantly developed a network protocol for myself after referring to Rancher's driver. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to connect to the local network now."
Meng Qingxiao reminded: "We can't find anyone to help. You can only do this."
"I'll try my best to dedicate most of my threads to this matter from now on."
"Oh, what about the third option?"
"The third option is simple and crude. Summon the second form of the armor, turn on the invisibility, sneak back, and collect all our people into your armor space."
"My Lightning Armor can't hold that many people."
"Let the 300 Kunjia people and the staff on the spacecraft enter the dimensional bag. They won't be suffocated to death even if they have breathing masks."
Meng Qingxiao thought for a moment and then said: "I can't gamble with the lives of my brothers. If they really don't care and just want to kill us, I won't be able to save so many people in time. They are still hiding in my armor space." It's safer, but news and public opinion still need to be created, and first of all, the locals need to know that I was wrongly accused."
"So you are going to choose option 3?"
"It's a combination of the latter two options."
"Then let's take action as soon as possible. I have already scanned and found that there are people at the gate. There are almost hundreds of them. It seems that their purpose is very clear, they are here to catch you."
Meng Qingxiao immediately summoned the second form of the armor, then turned on his invisibility and prepared to fly out.
Others couldn't see him, but when he was flying, the flames ejected from the armor's thrusters could be clearly seen, so he flew out amidst the exclamations. Of course, he did not destroy the dome, he just crossed it. The courtyard wall fled far away.
Meng Qingxiao said helplessly: "This invisibility hides the loneliness. The two guards at the door saw me entering with their own eyes. They knew it was me without guessing."
Xiao Dai smiled and said: "It can't be said that it is completely useless. At least they didn't see your armor."
"I'll go, Xiao Dai, you can still smile. This is the first time I've seen it."
"Strictly speaking, I don't understand human emotions, but I have a rigorous interpretation of humor in my database, so I know when to laugh, and I also know how to use laughter to help you relieve stress."
Meng Qingxiao landed in an uninhabited corner, turned off the rocket thruster, and then ran away quickly. He had to find the soldiers of the Dongbang Dynasty before they came to trouble Bai Shuhao and the others.
The second form of the lightning armor was unable to perform lunges. Meng Qingxiao had no choice but to run with all his strength. The first form was unable to act as a human.
His friends lived in close clusters, which helped him a lot. He didn't care about seeing no evil, and even kicked open the doors of three ladies before he even had time to explain.
Fortunately, only Hong, who was originally from Kunjia, wore cooler clothes when sleeping, while the others were neatly dressed.
The armor can only fit people in its second form, so Meng Qingxiao changed back to his second form when he arrived at their rest area.
When Meng Qingxiao urgently took everyone into the dimensional space, a piercing alarm sounded throughout Jirui City.
Meng Qingxiao immediately turned on his invisibility. He had no intention of leaving, at least not until his grievances were cleared.
