Night’s Nomenclature Chapter 234: Old friends reunited
In the mid-level manor, several bluestone paths extend into the depths, with flying dragons and phoenixes carved on the bluestones.
Lao Liu was leading the way. When he turned around, he saw Qingchen looking at the Mid-level Manor with a curious expression. He smiled happily and said, "What? I didn't expect there to be such beautiful scenery in the city, right?"
Qingchen shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."
"Of course you haven't seen it before," Lao Liu said with a smile: "Living in several other districts, not only have to squeeze into the elevator with others every day, but also have to live in a narrow can box every day, haven't you expected that, There are still rockeries, gardens, and man-made lakes in the manor in the first district? Didn’t you expect that there could be such a low residence here? You are just surviving, this is called life."
Qingchen looked around, and to his surprise, the buildings in Banshan Manor were more ancient Chinese style, with many houses made of masonry and wood.
The entire city No. 18 is extremely lively and crowded because of the tall buildings. He knows that this is because the population density is too high, so the city must develop towards the sky.
The first district is different. Being able to dig an artificial lake in a federal city where land is at a premium shows its unique status.
But...
This scene is really common in the surface world.
To be honest, other aspects of the outer world may not be as good as the inner world, but in terms of per capita living space, the outer world is definitely better than the inner world.
Also, Lao Liu's "such a short residence" is a four-story wooden building, and the building where Qingchen lives in the outside world is also four-story...
If he were poorer, he might have to live in a bungalow.
I have to say that Qingchen can feel the difference in thinking between the two worlds at this time. .
Qingchen asked: "Where are we going now?"
"I'll take you to the dormitory first," Lao Liu said: "You have become the boss's bodyguard, so naturally you have to live here. You have to follow the boss whenever he goes out."
"Yes, I understand," Qingchen nodded.
At this time, Lao Liu remembered what Li Changqing said and said quickly: "Although you are under my management in terms of job, the boss specifically told me that you can do whatever you want. Of course, I still want to remind you that although the boss is like this "But in the eyes of outsiders, you are the boss's bodyguard, so you'd better pretend to be like one, otherwise others will think that the boss is incapable of discipline."
Lao Liu’s reminder was kind-hearted. After all, Li Changqing was also a respectable person. If the person he brought out didn’t know the rules, he might be laughed at.
The entire Mid-Levels Manor covers a huge area, like a huge palace. If no one is taking it with you, you will even get lost.
This is the ancestral home of the Li family, symbolizing the status of the Li family.
The Qing family’s ancestral home is in City No. 10, and the Chen family’s is in City No. 7.
Qingchen carefully recorded the terrain here, even the Chinese-style roof eaves and angles.
"Why is the architectural style here so different from that in the city?" Qingchen asked: "It's more like..."
"More like the style of the Jindai family?" Lao Liu curled his lips: "Don't you understand? This style is actually passed down by our ancestors. The Jindai family is just copying and imitating. These buildings are composed of All the timber is transported back from the wilderness and is extremely precious. In the Federation, only high-status figures can live in wooden buildings."
That's not what Qingchen wanted to ask, but he already got the answer.
At this time, he suddenly discovered that under the eaves of each building, there was a heavy copper bell hanging with a red rope. Even when the wind blew, the copper bell barely moved.
Looking from a distance, there are still strange lines on the copper bell, but it is too far away to see clearly.
Lao Liu followed his eyes and laughed: "That's a rare taboo item in the world. You know taboo items, right? It's something that ordinary people can't get in their lifetime."
Qingchen's face remained as usual, but he was wondering why this sixth man... said everything he said was from his heart.
Sorry, he has two taboo items...
Qingchen asked nonchalantly: "Is the copper bell a taboo item? But the number is probably too many. I have heard of taboo items, but I have never heard of any taboo items like this."
There are dozens of buildings in the entire Mid-Levels Manor, and each building has nearly two hundred copper bells based on its four eaves.
As a forbidden object, this quantity is terrifying.
Lao Liu scratched his head: "I don't know much about this. Anyway, there are these things upstairs no matter where in the manor, and no one has ever counted the number seriously."
"Do you know the serial number of this forbidden object?" Qingchen asked.
"It's not a secret, ACE-020, Li's bosses call it the Heartless Bronze Bell," Lao Liu said: "And its function can also tell you that when a person with malicious intentions comes in, he is closest to the evil person. The unintentional bell will ring."
Qingchen murmured in his heart, it turned out that the consortium still had such a thing.
But how do taboo objects define whether a person has malicious intentions? This is a bit too mysterious.
"Has this thing ever sounded before?" Qingchen asked.
"Of course it has rang," Lao Liu explained: "But it has not rang in recent years, because many people know the existence of the Wuxin Bell, so no one with malicious intentions dares to enter the Banshan Manor again."
Qingchen suddenly wondered if this thing would be like a marionette. At the first level, there is only one. After unlocking the second level, the number of bells will be increased according to the number of containment conditions that are met.
For example, puppets increase the number of people they can control by sacrificing their lives.
Lao Liu is a chatterbox, and he whispered: "Let me tell you a secret that is not a secret. This thing was given to the current head of the family by a certain knight leader. Knight, do you know that Li Shutong, the seventh master of the Li family, is the contemporary knight leader? One of the few demigods."
Qingchen said in shock: "Is that demigod Li Shutong from the Li family?"
Lao Liu felt like he was 'faking it': "You are young, so you don't know these old things. The information about the seventh master in the alliance has basically been deleted, and many ordinary people don't know about him. Also a member of the Lee family."
Qingchen sighed inwardly, he really hoped that he could always be by the side of this sixth man, so that he could feel happy every day.
"The two small houses in front are on the left. The one on the left is Feiyun Villa where the boss lives on weekdays. The building next door is Miss Yinuo's Qingshan Villa. It is said that Miss Tongyun also moved in some time ago," Lao Liu said: "The side courtyard behind these two houses is where we servants live... By the way, you are not a servant."
Qingchen thought for a while, and he always felt that after entering Banshan Manor, this cyberpunk world also had a hint of ancient Chinese style.
However, just above this ancient building, there are groups of drones patrolling, intertwining into a web in the sky.
The lower ends of the drones carry weapons and can fire at any time.
The combination of ancient style and technology looks particularly abrupt and harmonious.
However, Li Yinuo even named his residence Qingshan Villa. How much does he want to climb the cliff of Qingshan? It's a pity that the other party has already started practicing. If he is not an ordinary person, he will never be able to become a knight.
When Lao Liu took Qingchen through Li Yinuo's Qingshan Villa, Li Tongyun and Nan Gengchen were sitting at a stone table, whispering.
The moment they saw Qingchen, they stopped talking at the same time and looked over with surprise.
Qingchen looked as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't know them at all.
The old man in front nodded slightly: "Miss Tongyun, Mr. Nan, good morning."
While speaking, Lao Liu tugged on Qingchen's sleeve: "Hello, say hello to them quickly."
Qingchen followed suit: "Miss Tongyun, Mr. Nan, good morning."
"Ah," Nan Gengchen seemed a little at a loss.
Li Tongyun said with a smile: "Uncle Six, isn't this the little boxer from Haitang Boxing Gym? Why, was Aunt Changqing really poached to the Li family?"
Lao Liucheng was frightened: "Don't you dare call me Uncle Six. If the other houses hear this, I'm afraid I will be exiled to the wilderness to break corns."
"It's okay, I'll just scream in private," Xiao Tongyun walked to Qingchen with a smile and looked around Qingchen with interest: "I went to watch your boxing match last night. It was very interesting. It was so thrilling, I was worried that it would break down in the private room at that time."
The little girl said half-truths and half-false words, and Lao Liu couldn't detect anything strange, but Qingchen knew that the other party was taking the opportunity to express concern.
He smiled: "Thank you, Miss Tongyun, for your concern."
"Brother Xiaotu, when you have nothing to do, you come to Qingshan Villa to play," Li Tongyun said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, don't bully him on weekdays, I am his fan."
"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare I bully him? The boss also told me that although he is a bodyguard, he doesn't have to do anything," Lao Liu said hurriedly.
"That's good," Li Tongyun said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, please take Brother Xiaotu to see my aunt first, and then we'll talk about it later."
Lao Liu led Qingchen forward, and Qingchen asked, "Who are these two?"
He knew who these two people were, but asking them should be his normal reaction now.
At this time, the sixth child replied: "Miss Li Tongyun is the most favored child among the three generations of the Li family. Mr. Nan next to me was raised by Miss Yinuo..."
When he said this, he secretly observed Qingchen's expression.
Qingchen said calmly: "Look what I do..."
Lao Liu thought Qingchen had lost face, so he quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay, you are different from him."
He added in his mind: You are better looking than him.
Lao Liu continued to walk and warned: "You must never offend these two people on weekdays. When Miss Yinuo goes crazy, she will even kill the family members, especially those who protect the weak. Remember, we can't mess with this kind of people. Get up."
"Yeah, I'll remember it," Qingchen nodded: "I can't afford to offend you."
Qing Chen suddenly thought that his coming to serve as Li Changqing's bodyguard seemed to bring their small group closer together, making it easier for them to plan something together.
If three people are all in Li's, they are putting their eggs in the same basket~IndoMTL.com~The information they hold is also somewhat one-sided.
Should I look for more talents from the time walkers of the Chen family and Qing family?
It seems difficult. After all, most of the time, the travelers have been dug out by the Qing family and the Chen family. Those who can continue to hide are smart people and generally will not sacrifice their lives for others.
As soon as they entered Feiyun Villa, they saw Li Yinuo and Li Changqing drinking tea in the courtyard. There was a black suitcase sitting quietly on the stone table in front of them.
Li Changqing's eyes lit up when he saw Qingchen arriving: "Coming?"
"Yeah," Qingchen nodded.
Li Changqing patted the black suitcase in front of him: "We still have to wait for half a month for the FDE-001 and 002 sequences, but the 003 you urgently need now is in excess. It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Auntie, today I’ll give you the injection.”
Qingchen: "???"
Auntie, you really can’t do it this time!
