Jinwu nodded.
Now they have no other clues, so they can only use this stupid method.
Because the population in this area was not as dense as in the city center, the Golden Crow was particularly conspicuous when it ran and jumped, so Lu Chihuan did not let it move freely, but instead stuffed it into his shirt pocket.
The slender white finger gently tapped the Jinwu's mechanical head.
The movements are neither light nor heavy.
But those eyes that always smiled became a little more serious, with a hint of warning.
"No running around this time."
"Just wait."
Jinwu also knew that what he did just now was wrong, so he didn't think about face or not. He clenched the edge of Lu Chihuan's shirt pocket with both hands, sitting there quite obediently and well-behaved, without moving a muscle.
unknown……
I thought it was a peculiar decoration.
Seeing this, the corners of Lu Chihuan's lips curled up involuntarily. He raised his eyes and looked around carefully while walking, trying to find someone to question.
however.
The mermaids in this city are quite xenophobic, and part of the offerings offered to the mermaid royal family were destroyed not long ago, so they are wary when they see strangers.
Basically every house has its doors closed.
Do not communicate with outsiders.
After being rejected several times, Lu Chihuan couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the tip of his nose. His beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with innocence and looked pitiful.
It seemed that there was nothing to be learned.
In addition, he was feeling hot and thirsty under the sun, so he simply sat down in the shade of a tree not far away, intending to take a rest in the breeze.
And Jinwu saw this scene.
He was so angry that all the parts of his body were creaking.
Tsk.
These stinky fish!
It turns out that there is a reason why I have always hated them.
Except for anger.
However, it felt as if there was a silk thread hanging above its heart core. When the silk thread was pulled, its heart core was also pulled along with it, causing a subtle sourness and pain.
To know--
Huanhuan had never been treated like this before.
During the time it had been with the Ghost Pirates, most of the pirates there either respected and feared Huanhuan or were tolerant and doting.
Among them, Huanhuan's elder brother, the former leader of the Ghost Pirates, is the most doted on.
It's like holding the person in the palm of your hand like a treasure. You're worried that the person will melt if you hold him in your mouth, and you wish you could carry him with you all the time.
Now he looks at Huanhuan.
It was as if it saw the bright and flawless moon falling into the mortal world, even splashed with dirt and mud. This made it sad and angry, and it unconsciously blamed itself.
And if it wasn't for this matter...Huanhuan wouldn't have to be treated so coldly.
Lu Chihuan took out a bottle of water from the storage ring and took a few sips. His dry lips had now regained their redness, and were even shining with a faint layer of water, making them look like red water chestnuts just picked from the lake.
It makes people want to bite it.
Taste the sweet and tender flesh inside.
Seeing Jinwu's angry look, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Seeing that Jinwu was about to crawl out of his pocket and do mischief at the doors of those mermaids, he quickly reached out and pressed down Jinwu's head, then held it in his palm.
"Don't be angry."
"They were just a little more vigilant. They didn't really hurt me. Plus, something happened in this city a while ago, so it's only human nature for them to do so."
"Is it worth your getting so angry?"
Jinwu answered without even thinking, "It's really worth it!"
It seemed that he felt his voice was a little louder.
His inorganic, cold electronic voice was deliberately lowered a few notes, sounding as if he was muttering to himself, "I just can't stand seeing other people treat you like that... You are my destined master, you deserve the best in the world..."
Lu Chihuan was stunned.
He shook the little robot's hand soothingly, his dark eyes curved.
"You are so protective of your shortcomings."
Jinwu turned his head away sullenly and said nothing.
Lu Chihuan had no idea what he meant to him.
Its creation was not an accident.
Rather, it was a move made by a certain existence for the future. The voice told it and its companions that they were born with a mission and would have their own masters in the future.
and so.
Ever since it was still a blank sheet of paper, it has been looking forward to the appearance of its owner.
Even if I was deceived afterwards.
Shattered to pieces by human greed and calculation, they no longer have any expectations of their so-called masters, but instead regard them as shackles that restrict their freedom, and they hate and detest them.
however.
During the decades before it left the lake of its heart, its day and night anticipation and devout yearning were not false.
Even though I hate being bound.
But the position of the master in its heart is still different from that of others.
This is how you can avoid covering up your shortcomings.
Seeing that Jinwu was in a bad mood, Lu Chihuan turned his head to look around, then bent down, picked a golden flower from the ground, and handed it to it.
The voice sounded a little amused.
"Thank you for your protection."
"I know you are standing up for me... I give this little flower to you, hoping it can make you feel better."
The golden little flower in front of him was just a dandelion flower that could be seen everywhere. It was far inferior to the rare and precious flowers that Jinwu had received before, and it also seemed a bit perfunctory.
however.
When it saw the light green grass juice on Lu Chihuan's white knuckles and the pair of eyes as bright as stars looking at it.
The core of the Golden Crow seemed to be brushed by something furry.
All the sharp emotions subsided.
It raised its hand and held the dandelion flower in Lu Chihuan's hand in its arms, moving very carefully, as if it was trying its best to restrain itself from touching the calyx and petals.
although.
This mechanical body could not show any emotions, but he didn't know if it was Lu Chihuan's illusion, but he felt that Jinwu's eyes seemed brighter than usual.
He was just about to make a joke.
But I heard a loud noise coming from not far away.
The sound seemed to be made by a teenager who was in the voice change period, so the sound was a bit rough and unpleasant, almost no different from the quacking of a dozen drakes.
Lu Chihuan rubbed his ears.
Look in the direction of the sound.
I saw several merman boys surrounding a mixed-race merman with an indifferent expression, pointing and talking. They seemed to be of similar age, but the merman boy in the lead had an arrogant and domineering look, just like a cannon fodder villain in a novel.
"Mecha manufacturing and maintenance methods... You're actually reading this kind of stuff?"
The merman boy raised his hand.
He asked several of his followers to snatch all the books and some small gadgets from the hybrid merman's hands, and then took the books in their hands and flipped through them.
He showed a mocking and malicious smile, "It's fine that you're a half-blood merman, but you're so unambitious and only care about looking at these foreign things."
"The Archon told us."
"We have a deep blood feud with the foreigners. They were the ones who planned the death of our mermaid royal family and turned His Majesty the Emperor into what he is now."
"You should hate them, but now you are watching their stuff... and enjoying it so much. It's simply heresy."
Speaking of it.
He gently tapped the hybrid merman's cheek with the book in his hand; the action was somewhat frivolous and insulting.
"how--"
"Do you want to betray the mermaids?"
Hearing such a big hat being put on his head, the half-mermaid still looked indifferent and calm, his eyes were on his books and personal belongings, as if he didn't take the words of the leading merman boy to heart at all.
Seeing the other person like this.
The young merman was even more furious, "Don't think I don't know."
"On the night when the offerings were damaged, I saw you leaving the house. Even if you didn't do it, you definitely had something to do with it."
"Just wait for me."
"I will report this matter to the consul and ask him to punish you severely."
Upon hearing this, the half-blooded merman reluctantly gave him a glance.
Then he answered coldly:
"what ever."
The destruction of the offering that day happened quite suddenly. He was not the only one who went out that night. There must have been others.
The consul would definitely not believe the man who was talking without any evidence.
This attitude further angered the mermaid boy. In a rage, he threw the books and mechanical gadgets in his hands to the ground, and then stomped on them a few times.
After doing all this.
He raised his chin provocatively towards the hybrid merman. Just as he was about to say a few more harsh words, he saw the hybrid merman, who had remained unmoved until now, suddenly raised his head and looked at him.
His cold expression changed, as if his reverse scale had been touched.
Now raise your hand.
He punched the merman boy in the face and knocked him to the ground.
"Boss!"
"Boss, are you okay?"
Several followers hurriedly helped their boss up from the ground, only to see that the merman boy was covering his nose with one hand, with blood slowly seeping out from between his fingers.
"What are you still standing there for?"
"Hurry up and get to me."
He kicked his little follower hard, with a bit of anger and embarrassment on his face, "Catch him and beat him up. He's just an orphan half-blood merman, and he dared to attack me. It's simply..."
The words stopped abruptly.
Because the hybrid merman had already punched him a few more times in the face.
Lu Chihuan watched this one-sided bullying against the hybrid merman from a distance and frowned in displeasure.
He has always been disgusted by this kind of thing.
So he stood up and went forward to help, but what he didn't expect was——
This hybrid merman is quite capable of fighting.
The fighting animals were fierce and ferocious, just like a little leopard that had only grown claws and fangs. In an instant, they beat the merman boy and his followers so hard that they fled in panic.
Finally, he fled in panic.
Lu Chihuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled unconsciously with the corners of his lips curled up.
He walked up to the hybrid merman, bent down, picked up the books and the scattered mechanical products on the ground for him, patted the dust marks on them before handing them over.
"for you."
When he picked up the book just now, the book had already been blown open by the wind, and he could see the name of the hybrid merman written on the title page.
His name is Chun Jing.
This name sounds pretty nice.
The mixed-blood merman named Chun Jing looked at Lu Chihuan with some caution.
But perhaps because he felt that he looked familiar, or perhaps because they were both half-mermaids, his expression was not as cold as before, and he answered briefly and to the point.
"Thank you."
After saying this.
He was about to leave with his things.
But probably because his arm was injured, Chun Jing could hardly hold the things in his hands, and several small mechanical things slid down and fell to the ground.
Lu Chihuan helped him pick it up again.
However, this time, when he picked up the small mechanical thing, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, rubbed his fingertips on it for a few times, and then spoke naturally:
“It’s doing OK.”
"It's just that this part can be adjusted. Otherwise, if it is installed here, it will increase friction and reduce its service life..."
Although Lu Chihuan was not a professional mecha designer, when he was in class at the Dunson Military Academy, their major also had one or two mechanical repair courses, and Lu Chihuan learned it quite well.
In addition.
He spent quite a while with Zhishu, the genius mecha designer. He was influenced by him and learned a lot about mechanics.
Therefore, dealing with a novice like Chun Jing can be said to be easy.
Chun Jing was indeed attracted by Lu Chihuan's words. No matter how cold he was, he was just a teenager. Therefore, after hearing something that interested him, he looked at him with a direct and burning gaze.
"You understand this?"
Lu Chihuan gestured with his thumb and index finger, then replied with a smile:
“Only a little bit.”
So Chun Jing took the step forward and then retracted it.
Lu Chihuan pointed at the shade of a tree not far away and smiled at him, her thick eyelashes like crow feathers trembling slightly, "Why don't we sit down and talk."
Chun Jing agreed.
The two sat under the shade of a tree and discussed some mechanical knowledge.
It has to be said that this mixed-blood merman named Chun Jing is very smart. He knows everything about mechanics, so he quickly dug out most of what Lu Chihuan knew.
to the end.
He even felt a little unsatisfied.
It was probably because what Lu Chihuan told Chun Jing hit the nail on the head, and Chun Jing's attitude towards Lu Chihuan softened a little.
After knowing that Lu Chihuan had come from another place specifically to attend the ceremony.
He was kind enough to draw a map for Lu Chihuan and pointed out a hotel with a nice environment and affordable price, asking him to stay there for a few nights.
"There are many mermaids like you who come to our city to attend the ceremony, so every time at this time, the hotel rooms are almost always full, and the prices will increase several times."
"So you'd better book it early."
Lu Chihuan didn't know this.
Because he didn't want to have nowhere to go for the rest of the time, after hearing Chun Jing's words, he quickly thanked him, and after saying goodbye, he hurriedly went to book a room.
But he left in a hurry.
Therefore, he held the few mechanical gadgets made by Chun Jing in his hands.
When Lu Chihuan booked the room and lay down on the big bed in the room, he realized that he had not returned the things to the other party.
Lu Chihuan pinched the bridge of his nose.
I thought to myself that I was so busy that I lost my mind.
He raised his hand and placed the mechanical gadgets in front of his eyes and looked at them carefully. This time, he felt a sense of familiarity in them.
