The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 559: Mr. Shen, you have done a great job! You made a covenant with the Firebird and won us a lot!

Who to hit...

Hit that blue hexagram! Shen Le almost blurted out.

That thing is simply causing public outrage, with all the low-level operations going on, which is comparable to what the Japanese devils did back then!

No, no, the blue hexagram is too far away, and it is not in our interest. If we want to fight, we should fight that aircraft carrier battle group!
It's always patrolling around various strategic locations, and if there's any conflict, it'll come over to threaten us!

Or wait... In the current situation, is it appropriate to order the Firebird to go to war?

After all, this firebird is not invincible. Not to mention the mysterious level, I can beat it with the dragon flag. Let’s just say our frigate should be able to withstand two or three hits, right?

When attacking an aircraft carrier battle group, is it possible that you fail to defeat it and instead sacrifice yourself?

Shen Le's mind was full of thoughts. At the end, he gritted his teeth and simply started to give up:
"We'll talk about who to attack later. Can I meet up with my comrades first? They're here to support me, and they're very nervous and worried..."

With its treasure in Shen Le's hands, the Firebird naturally had no objection. It stepped back a little, indicating that it was up to it, and Shen Le let Yun Kun float up slowly.

A head popped up between the waves, and a navy blue man immediately rushed to the deck with special equipment and began to measure:

"Our fleet is about 50 kilometers to the southwest. Should we go over and rendezvous with it, using its cover to have a good conversation?"

[Is that the one that hit my ship? ...Okay.] Firebird was a little reluctant, but still had no choice but to agree.

It flapped its wings a few times, and its body became smaller and smaller. Finally, it shrank to the size of a goshawk, with a broad wingspan and long tail feathers, and soared into the sky.

Shen Le took a long breath and quickly pushed the navy blue:
"Call home! Quickly! Let them make the decision, let them send a negotiation expert! Quickly!!!"

Are you kidding me? How could such a big thing be thrown on him? He is just a master's student majoring in cultural relics restoration!

Regarding international politics, he only took one public course in his entire college career!

How should we negotiate with the Firebird? Who should we attack? Such a difficult matter, should we not let the experts and think tanks in this field make the decision? Should we throw it on his head? !

Yun Kun floated in the waves for three minutes in the form of a two-foot-long stick, and quickly sank below a hundred meters. He moved forward at full speed, joined the fleet, and slowly surfaced directly under his own destroyer...

Humph, let Yun Kun shrink a little and stick right under the destroyer. I don’t believe outsiders will be able to find him!
No matter what sonar, radar, or even if a drone enters the visual range for reconnaissance, I can guarantee that you can't see me!
Like the remnants of a defeated army, the frigate, which was burned and staggered, and the supply ship, which had no fighting ability, took shelter on the left and right of the destroyer tacitly.

Soon, the destroyer lowered a small boat, and Yun Kun extended the mast, slowly, slowly, extending to the edge of the boat.

Shen Le and a group of little guys saw through the light curtain held up by Lan Zhuang that the faces of the two navy blue men on the boat were a little pale and a little stiff, as if their worldviews had been shaken.

However, they jumped off the boat without hesitation and swam towards the mast. They finally dived two meters and tried to hold onto the tip of the mast:
There was a slight flash of light, and they had appeared on the deck of the Yunkun, with their feet on solid ground.

"Welcome." Shen Le smiled and went up to shake hands with them:
"Hurry up and take a shower, change your clothes, and clean up - I'll leave the negotiations to you guys!"

"Wait!" A navy blue man jumped up:

"Connect the network cable first! Network cable! For such an important matter, the backend will definitely provide guidance, advice, and reference materials throughout the process!"

He stood on tiptoe and pointed upwards. Shen Le looked up in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there was a wrist-thick cable swaying down from above, sliding down along the mast...

"What is the principle behind this..."

Navy Blue muttered, and while pulling the cable that Yun Kun enthusiastically handed over, he quickly connected it and complained quietly:
"When we looked from above, we saw only a two-meter-long cylinder... a two-meter-long cylinder could extend a 20-meter-long mast... the cable went down and onto the deck, and it was still the same size..."

Shen Le spread his hands. On the Yunkun deck, a paper man came out with a clatter, then tilted his head and spread his hands:
【I do not know either! 】

Yun Kun, you have learned bad things!

How come you can learn these little movements and expressions better than anyone else? It's only been a short time!

In any case, as long as there is a physical optical cable, even through thick sea water, Shen Le can directly communicate with the country through the optical cable - destroyer - satellite communication method.

Soon, a familiar face appeared on the computer screen:
"Mr. Shen, this time, you and Yun Kun have made a great contribution to the motherland again!"

The person in charge of the naval port spoke with full energy and emotion:

"By the way, are you and Yun Kun really willing to hand over that fireball?"

"I am willing." Shen Le spread his hands. After all, this thing was stolen from someone else. Since Yun Kun didn't want it, the best choice was to hand it back:
It is still worthwhile to exchange it for a friendly army. After all, Yun Kun doesn't want to go to the Red Sea and be afraid of being attacked every day, right?

"Thank you so much! The country will remember your contribution, and will remember Yun Kun's contribution!" The person in charge's face was flushed, and his voice was sonorous and powerful:
"We have urgently assessed the value of the fireball and will convert it into contribution points and deposit it into - well, do you think it should be deposited into your account or Yun Kun's account?"

"Yun Kun." Shen Le answered as a matter of course:
"It was chased for thousands of miles and fought desperately to get this thing. It also risked its life to bring it back even though half of its ship was burned. This must be attributed to him!"

"Okay!" The person in charge nodded vigorously:

"Then Mr. Shen, the next negotiations will still require your and Yun Kun's help. Don't worry, we will still evaluate your contribution to the negotiations and deposit it into your account!"

Shen Le waved at him. Before he could answer, a golden-red light suddenly appeared around him, falling down rapidly, like a small sun falling from the sea.

"Here it comes!" Shen Le shouted:
"Yun Kun! Protect the ship! Protect the cables!"

【knew! 】

Yun Kun responded loudly. A curtain of blue water rushed up, wrapped around the mast and cables, and attached to the side of the destroyer above.

Just as the protection was completed, the golden-red light became brighter, and a dozen meters outside the side of the ship, it condensed into a firebird about two people tall:
[Can we start talking now? Who do you want me to beat in order to return my treasure to me?]

"Hello, Zafarat Hulud, I'm Shen Le." Shen Le waved to him across the water curtain, then pointed to the deck below:

"This is Yun Kun. The two people next to him are the negotiators I invited. Their opinions are my opinions—"

He took two steps back, dragged an armchair and sat on it, then began to drink juice leisurely. What I meant was, you guys talk, I'll just listen!

The two navy blues looked at each other. Although their three views were still shaky, they were put together and broken, and then put together again. But what can I say? The motherland needs us, and the people need us...

There's no doubt about that, just go for it!

"Hello, Mr. Zafarat Hulud. I am Shen Le's negotiating representative..."

The shorter one walked quickly to the table, started opening the video file, projecting the screen, and helping to provide negotiation materials to his colleagues;
The taller one raised the microphone and began to chat with the golden-red bird outside through the blue water curtain:
"First of all, we would like to state our country's consistent position..."

Shen Le was almost sleepy listening to this. If one was not specially trained, one would not understand these standard political and diplomatic languages, nor would one be able to tell the difference between the previous and the next speeches.

Often, we have to see what has already happened, or even see professionals explain the matter, before we realize:

Oh, our country will also become tough, such as sending a fleet to circle your country...

By the way, it seems that the Firebird had a fight with our frigate before, and then what happened? Is this over?
Do you want Firebird to pay for it? I didn't hear you just now!

Obviously, he didn't understand, and Zafarat Hulud didn't understand either. After less than ten sentences, the firebird flapped its wings vigorously, sending a stream of flames towards the deck:
[It's okay to give you some compensation - so I don't have to fight anyone? And then, you won't return my treasure?! ]

Shen Le bit his cheek hard to prevent himself from laughing out loud. Navy Blue and his colleague looked at each other, both a little sad:
Look, look, this is the pain of diplomacy. The Chinese people value being subtle, never speaking out, and understanding each other.

After a negotiation, everything looks good on the surface, but behind the scenes, everyone already knows the other party's bottom line and has reached an agreement.

This Firebird, which has not even received nine years of compulsory education, simply cannot understand our subtext!

"We want you to know who our allies are and who we are friendly with. We hope you won't fight these countries and forces!" he shouted loudly.

"Outside this range, you can attack as you wish, and we will not object—"

【What about my treasure? 】

"I can return your treasure to you." Shen Le finally understood and stood up leisurely:

"As long as you recognize our logo and promise not to attack, that's all—do you understand?"

[I see!] The firebird flapped its wings in annoyance. A blaze of fire condensed into a red flag, with a few yellow stars shining softly in the upper left corner.

It’s still a little skewed, and the proportions aren’t quite right, but that’s roughly what it means:

[I won't attack anything with this flag! Whether it's a ship, a building, a vehicle, or anything else, I won't attack anything I see, okay!!!]

That's basically it. Shen Le turned his head to look at Navy Blue, seeing their faces were ugly and desperate, he still nodded reluctantly and smiled:
"Okay, no problem, that's it. Come, let's make a covenant!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in navy blue rushed out of the cabin, holding two printed A4 papers in his hands. Shen Le sighed and shook his head slightly at them:

"Bring me the spirit jade. Or, spirit crystals that are used to charge spirit jade will also work - bring them here quickly!"

How can I use A4 paper?
Give it to the Firebird, it will burn up on contact!

Navy Blue turned around and ran away. Before he entered the hatch, the firebird had already condensed into a flame and landed outside the blue-green barrier. Shen Le's face froze instantly:
what is this?
The text of the contract?
What am I going to use to take on this?

Dayu cast the Yu Ding, monotheism has the Ark of the Covenant, what do I have?
I take out a piece of spiritual jade now, how should I carve on it - would it be too embarrassing to carve it now?
Before he could finish his thought, the side of the ship cracked, and a piece of crystal clear jade, one foot long, half a foot wide, and three inches thick, rose slowly towards the fire.

The flames fell on the jade without hesitation, condensing into lines of tadpole-like characters. The blazing flames sank inwards, almost burning through the jade.

That does not work!

It would be so embarrassing if it burned through!

Shen Le took a deep breath and strode forward. The golden bead in his dantian spun rapidly, and the strong earth power was injected into the spirit jade, supporting the blazing flames.

The fire power and the earth power were entangled and fighting with each other. Shen Le gritted his teeth and urged the power, his breathing became more and more rapid:

Work harder!
Work harder!

Almost done!

Once we get through this wave, we’ll be done!
The deck cracked again. The second piece of spiritual jade was lifted out of the deck, and dots of light fell into the spiritual jade that received the firelight like a rainstorm.

Then, the third, fourth, and fifth pieces...

After consuming eight pieces of spiritual jade, the firepower in the contract barely stabilized and stopped rushing around. The firebird chirped softly, very satisfied:

[Mr. Shen, the agreement is already written here. Please take a look. If there is no problem, you and Yun Kun sign it, find a witness to sign it, and send a copy to me! ]

I……

I don’t understand…

Shen Le looked down at the words on the jade. Well, it might be words. It looked a bit like Arabic, and some parts looked a bit like cuneiform.

Anyway, I've confirmed with my eyes that this is a text I can't understand...

The navy blue next to him has already raised his camera and is taking pictures crazily. I wonder which expert in the country will be given the information for research.

Shen Le tried to touch the words with his mental power, and thankfully, he felt the content of the contract, as if the voice of the firebird was reading the contract again.

However, asking him to write on the spirit jade in the same way and then sign it was still too difficult...

Just as he was in a dilemma, the copper plate on his chest suddenly vibrated. An illusory light shone on the spiritual jade, and the golden light spread rapidly like a flying dragon and snake.

Like bird seal characters or dragon patterns, in just a moment, a faint layer of brilliant gold condensed below the fiery red text. Then, on the dragon flag in Shen Le's hand, the cloud dragon stretched out its claws and waved gently:
A beam of water light fell into the spiritual jade. Suddenly, a small firebird pattern, a bronze tripod pattern, a detailed and tiny sailboat pattern, and a thick cloud appeared side by side like a signature.

Beyond the words, a blue-green light slowly spread, like water and clouds, completely concealing the fire in the jade.

"Huh... Thank you, Lord Long, for your help..."

Shen Le bowed silently in his heart. The dragon flag seemed to sense his thoughts, and it rolled up and flew outward.

In an instant, the entire piece of jade split into two layers, each layer was evenly distributed with fiery red and brilliant gold text, and even the signature was split apart.

One piece floated up slowly, crossed the water barrier, and flew straight to the firebird. The other piece was suspended in front of Shen Le, as if waiting for him to take it away and store it:
Done! Great!
Shen Le held the spiritual jade in both hands. It felt warm and cool to the touch, neither hot nor cold.

Looking down, I saw two pages of text side by side in the spirit jade, one above and one below, as if they were naturally generated inside without any human intervention.

He took two quick steps, handed the spirit jade to a man in navy blue, took out the fireball that Dragon King had sealed, and threw it out with all his might:
“Give it back to you——!”

The water light barrier cracked naturally. The firebird spread its wings and soared, grabbed the fireball and bit it hard. The seal exploded, and its whole body shook, and golden red light continued to shine out. It was obvious that its strength had reached a new level -

Shen Le quickly waved the dragon flag and added a thick water curtain to the outside of Yun Kun, and then another water curtain.

The firebird ignored them, flapping its wings vigorously and soaring into the sky. Navy Blue rushed over and quickly tapped on the keyboard. Soon, a magnificent and magnificent scene appeared on the projection screen hanging high on the deck:

The entire sky was dyed red! The clouds turned golden red, and the glow was like burning fire. In the far distance, there was even a pillar of fire that could be seen with the naked eye, rising up thousands of feet high:

"Thank God, it didn't do this directly on top of us." Navy Blue sighed helplessly:
"No matter what, it won't attack us in the end... Let's bomb it farther away from us. Our allies won't think we have super-powerful weapons..."

He put away all his equipment, looked up at the mast above his head, began to rub his hands and roll up his sleeves, preparing to climb back up the mast.

As he reached the mast, a rope sprang up like a snake, wrapped around his waist, lifted him up to the top of the mast, and put him back into the boat:
Leave you!

The story is not over yet after sending these two navy blues away. After a big battle, some officers and soldiers on the frigate were injured and needed better medical conditions or needed to return home.

Shen Le simply let Yun Kun float up, shrinking to a few feet long and floating to the edge of the boat. He was picked up and sent to the frigate, and then carried out of the ancient house and released two doctors:

"Hey, are you guys going to return with me, or are you going to release the doctors and medical equipment?"

"Ah... Mr. Shen, please wait a moment..."

Old revolutionaries are faced with new problems. These new problems require quick contact with the country and instructions.

Finally, a group of doctors and equipment were released and stayed on the supply ship to take care of the lightly wounded, so that the lightly wounded could slowly return home with the supply ship;
Another group of those with more serious injuries were pushed over the gate of the ancient house by a flatbed cart, collected by the ancient house, and returned to Yunkun. With Yunkun leading them, they can get home in one day!

All these matters took several hours even though the soldiers were quick and efficient.

The wooden boat had just finished its work and was put back into the water, but had not yet left the shadow of the destroyer when a fire suddenly lit up overhead and the Firebird flew down through the sky again.

With its mouth open, a few crystal clear red stones floated towards the water curtain:
[You are friends. This is a gift from me to you. I will not attack anyone who brings a gift!]

Thank you so much... Shen Le thought about it, took out his backpack, and took out a wooden box:
"By the way, this is for you!"

He threw the wooden box with all his strength. The wooden box hit the water curtain, and Yun Kun quickly raised the cable, rolled it up, spun it several times above his head, and threw it out.

The Firebird flapped its wings slightly, hovered the wooden box in front of itself, and stared at it:

【What's this? 】

"It's the souls of your people... most of them, I guess." Shen Le spread his hands.

“They came to our country, lived for a long time, did some very bad things… they are not welcome in our country.

Since they are your people, I will leave them to you. When it is convenient for you, you can give them a ride and drop them off at the holy land. That's it."

The firebird looked down at the wooden box. Without making any move, the wooden box suddenly broke into pieces, and tiny dots of light floated out, floating up and down around the firebird.

It hung in the water, tilting its head slightly, as if listening. After a while, a flame suddenly rose from its body and spun around.

In just a moment, all the light, bright or dim, was burned to ashes.

"Hey, did you burn them all to death?"

Shen Le leaned against the side of the boat, stood on tiptoe and raised his head, shouting loudly. The firebird flapped its wings impatiently:

[My name is Zafarat Hulud! I am the giant bird of storm and judgment, the descendant of the sacred bird Anka! These souls, they have done bad things, I will burn them into ashes! ]

Well done!

Shen Le gave Firebird a thumbs up. It was worth it that he had looked up a lot of information in advance and speculated on Firebird's personality.

Sure enough, this person doesn't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes!
"That's it! I'm going home now. If I pass by here again someday, I'll come and play with you!"

He waved his hands vigorously. Yun Kun rolled up the water, and it was so powerful that it pushed it forward a thousand miles a day until it disappeared.

This time, the firebird did not chase after them. It just spread its wings and hovered in the air, as if looking down at the sea and watching its friend leave.

One minute, two minutes. One hour, two hours. Until the sky gradually darkened, until the fireball fell into the horizon and disappeared, it suddenly flapped its wings and flew to the west, following the light.

Then, he dived down!
Shen Le didn't know about these developments, and he didn't care at all. He rode Yun Kun thousands of miles back to the naval port and released the ancient house:

Return the navy blues that were on board the ship safely, and let the military doctors and wounded leave quickly, so that those who need to go to the hospital can go to the hospital, and those who need surgery can have surgery:

No matter how those dazed and shattered navy blues adjusted themselves, the person in charge of the naval port had already rushed up, his face full of excitement:
"Mr. Shen, you have done a great job this time! This time, you made a covenant with the firebird in the Red Sea and won us a considerable amount of initiative!!!"

Shen Le: “…”

So what did Mr. Firebird do?

He wouldn't really blow up the aircraft carrier battle group, would he?!
"Well, it didn't explode, but it's hard to explain..."
