Chapter 147 The village finally got internet access
After Rongge led the celebration team, singing and dancing, to welcome the heroes back to their clan's territory, he did not disturb them further.
The adventurers and Leo must be exhausted by now, and it's time for them to rest.
After arranging the grand celebration to be held the day after tomorrow, Rongge carried a jar and came to Leo's room.
He was afraid of disturbing the meritorious officials' rest, so he walked very quietly.
"They should be asleep by now," Rongge thought, looking out the window into the room.
Although Leo had no wounds on his body, he must have suffered severe fire burns inside his body and would need to sleep for at least half a day.
He came here to apply medicine; the ointment in the jar is a family secret recipe, specially for treating burns and scalds.
Giving the meritorious individuals two treatments should be enough to cure them.
However, the room was not as dark as he had imagined, and there were no groans coming from it.
Instead, a bright light emanated from the bed, and one could even faintly hear suppressed laughter.
Ok?
Could it be that his brain has been damaged by a fever? But what's with the bright light?
Rongge tiptoed to open the door and walked behind Leo.
"Haha," Leo lay on his side on the bed, his tortoise shell cushioning his back, looking quite comfortable. "Adventurers are really interesting, they even modified a tortoise car."
He clicked on it, looked at it for two seconds, then swiped to switch to the next picture.
It was a selfie, and in the picture was a Xuanjia clan member who looked almost exactly like him!
"Huh?" Leo exclaimed in surprise, suddenly rolling over. "My long-lost brother?"
But that doesn't make sense. His identity is clear, and his parents are still alive. Where did he get his brothers?
He placed the logic board in front of him and studied it carefully.
"The thickness of the tortoise shell is off, the patterns are weird, and it even has hair growing on its head?!" Leo got goosebumps.
This thing is strange; it's not a member of the Xuanjia clan!
In the middle of the night, he suddenly felt a chill and instinctively wrapped the blanket around himself.
"What are you looking at, the tribespeople outside?"
Suddenly, a faint voice came from beside me.
Leo flinched and stiffly turned his head, only to see a faint green glimmer in the darkness.
"Holy crap!" Leo yelled, "There's a ghost!"
He suddenly jumped up, ready to unleash a combination of punches.
Snapped.
Just then, the magic crystal lamp lit up.
"Don't get agitated, calm down. You must have just been exposed to fire poison, and your mind is a little off. I happen to have some medicine with me, I'll treat you."
A familiar voice, a familiar face.
Leo was taken aback, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, it's Elder Rongge. You scared me."
He looked at the bucket Rong Ge was carrying and knew that the other party meant well, so he couldn't blame them for coming in the middle of the night without knocking.
Leo had planned to play for a little longer before going to sleep, as he was already feeling quite sleepy.
But after this experience, all sleepiness vanished.
He jumped out of bed and handed the logic board to Rongge: "Elder Rongge, look at this, do you know this person?"
In the scene, it's still that same clansman who looks somewhat creepy.
Rongge has lived for hundreds of years and is very knowledgeable, so he was not frightened. He just frowned, looked at Leo, and then at the logic board: "It seems to be you, but it is not you, and it is not even of our kind. Could it be that the tortoise has been corrupted by the God of Form and Thought?"
""
To be honest, this logic is a bit ridiculous, like saying that humans and apes are the same species.
But Rongge couldn't find any other more reasonable explanation.
"What is this board? Besides looking at people, can it see anything else?" Rongge asked.
This reminded Leo.
Leo quickly retrieved the logic board and clicked on the fake man's portrait.
The second post was from yesterday, and it read: "Finally gathered all the materials for the forging recipe. I can transform into a new race tomorrow. I wonder if it's cool enough."
The third post was from the day before yesterday: "I had a huge lucky draw today, I actually got a legendary turtle shell! According to the description, it's a core material for the new Turtlemen race. Time to grind!"
Further ahead: "It seems like four turtle-like people have come to the academy. They look a bit like the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They're doing odd jobs everywhere. It's quite funny."
A picture was also attached below.
Leo glanced at the picture and felt that the turtle-man in it looked a lot like himself when he first arrived at the academy, looking around blankly and ignorant, so he was too embarrassed to click on it.
A green finger poked it.
It was Rong Ge; he had studied it for a long time and had already mastered it without a teacher.
The image was enlarged, freezing on the scene of Leo and his three companions each holding a corncob and jumping up excitedly.
"Uh—" Leo scratched his head sheepishly.
Rong Ge stroked his chin and affirmed, "These few should be genuine Xuanjia Clan members, and even from our Fire Pattern lineage."
""
"—How could it not be?" Leo knew the elder was teasing him, so he quickly changed the subject: "I've seen the forging process. It's an advanced ancient magical technology used by adventurers; it's a kind of sacrificial ritual."
He recalled some abstract operations, and his lips twitched involuntarily: "They can use all sorts of materials, even—the excrement of living beings—to burn in the furnace along with themselves—"
"It's possible to burn yourself to death, but it's also possible that after burning, you'll turn into something strange—" Leo said, his body suddenly stiffening.
"Elder," he stammered, "what if, I mean, what if, our Fire Emblem lineage had a branch with hair in the future?"
Rongge looked at Leo quietly, unsure whether he hadn't understood or was waiting for Leo to respond.
But Leo couldn't hold back any longer: "I confess! To pass the trial, I sold all the armor plates of my tribe to the Akasha Academy for gold coins!"
He closed his eyes, bowed his head, and waited for Elder Rongge's punishment.
This is, after all, a matter of great importance concerning race and bloodline. Even if he passes the trial, his merits and demerits may not be able to offset each other.
Rongge remained silent for a while before slowly speaking, "So that's how it is—could you tell me about the logic board? The tall tower at the port should also be related to this, right?"
Leo blinked, incredulous. "Elder, you're not going to punish me?"
"Our Xuanjia clan has stayed on this island for too long and has fallen behind," Rongge shook his head and smiled slightly. "Our use of magic is not as good as outsiders, but we can't be inferior in our thinking, can we?"
Rong Ge stopped there, taking the logic board in his hands: "Teach me how to use it. I heard this thing has remote communication capabilities?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Leo didn't understand Rongge's implied meaning, only knowing that he wouldn't be punished directly, and was overjoyed: "It's called a telephone, dial like that!"
He picked up the logic board and skillfully pressed a few numbers.
beep.
The line connected, and a voice on the other end spoke casually: "Hello, Leo? Which one are you connecting to, Orca Motorcycles or Blue Whale Logistics?"
"That's Aura on the other side, the big boss of the Orca Clan, already at level seven!" Leo whispered to Rongge, covering his gathering port.
"She can't hear you if you talk like that?" Rongge covered his mouth, just like Leo did. "You've done a great job building your network this time. You even have the contact information for such important people!"
