Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

"I'm done eating, let's start." Iksi said, smacking his lips.

Everyone was stunned when this was said. Are you eating alone? Aren't you going to give it to the guests?

What about your hospitality?

While everyone was stunned, Iksi waved his hand again, pulled a cushion over, then his body floated up and sat on the cushion.

"What a skilled hand of shaping..." Seeing how Ixi had done everything with magic without even moving his feet, Ilfa exclaimed sincerely.

A stay-at-home girl who lacks exercise. Unlike Ilufa who was impressed by the other party's superb magic, Linde had a completely different idea in mind.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am a resident here, my name is Iksi Tal, you can just call me Iksi." Iksi introduced herself first. "Let me make it short. What are you doing here? This is not a place for you humans."

There was no politeness in Iksi's tone, and Linde felt like rushing over and lifting her mat.

"We are here to return the puppet." Ilufa made a gesture to Linde, indicating that Linde should stay calm.

"Oh, I see. Thank you very much." Yikesi nodded. "Since it has been delivered, you can leave now."

"That's enough! Toad!" Lind couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table. "We were kind enough to return your puppet! Not only did you not thank us, but you attacked us! You almost killed my secretary! You want to send us away with just a thank you!"

"This is a misunderstanding." Iksi's tone was still emotionless. "I fell into hibernation due to lack of food. When I opened my eyes, I saw a group of people appear in my room and were looking through my important documents. I was justified in fighting back."

"Besides, my magic isn't very powerful, and I'm aiming at your back. If she doesn't stop me, there won't be any danger."

The frog's bland explanation in the corner irritated Lind, making him want to draw his sword and kill her. The beastmen also felt the Son of God's wrath and were ready to fight at any time.

"Lord Tal." Just when the atmosphere was tense and the negotiations were about to break down, the puppet interrupted. "Expressing gratitude requires more than just words."

"Ah?" Iksi was stunned. "Isn't thank you the same as expressing gratitude?"

"It's true to say thank you, but usually you have to give a gift in return as a thank you." The puppet continued.

"I see." Ixie nodded, then looked at Ilufa and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't communicated with humans for a thousand years. I don't know that I need to give gifts in return to express my gratitude. Please forgive me."

The tense atmosphere suddenly became strange. Everyone looked at each other. This Yixi was not rude, but he didn't know how to deal with others? He hadn't communicated with humans for more than a thousand years, so he didn't know what politeness was?

and many more……

"Since you haven't communicated with humans for thousands of years, how do you, a puppet, know all this?" Cynthia keenly discovered the loophole in the words, her eyes sharp.

"Of course it's because I need to socialize." The puppet said matter-of-factly. "There are only so many supplies here, and they will eventually run out, so naturally I need to go out to replenish them. With this otaku's physique that even walking is difficult, of course I should go out and communicate with people!"

"Have you been out?" Linde asked in surprise.

"How fresh!" The puppet raised his voice. "How could I not have been out before! This place is not sealed off! Can't I go out for a walk!?"

"Have you ever encountered it?" Lind asked the beastmen present.

"No, Your Highness the Son of God." "I have never seen such a strange thing." There were various answers. None of the beastmen present had ever seen a puppet going out for a walk.

A stay-at-home girl who has no social life, almost no exercise, and hibernates without help because she can't cook, and a smart puppet with a sharp tongue...

It seems like a combination of a stay-at-home daughter and a nagging mother...

After this incident, people's disgust towards Iksi eased a lot. After all, impoliteness and aggressive behavior were the result of lack of social interaction.

"Excuse me, what do you need?" Ixie continued to ask in her flat and emotionless voice. "Whatever you need, I will give it to you, and then you can leave quickly."

Iksi obviously doesn't want to communicate much with outsiders. This cold and distant tone is actually a form of self-protection for social phobia.

Ilufa looked at Lind and motioned for him to speak. Lind stepped forward and asked seriously, "I want your magic crystal production equipment."

Chapter 313 Magic Crystal Production Line

Iksi's room was not very spacious. If it was for one person, the area would be more than enough. But now there were almost ten people crammed in the room, so it seemed very crowded.

These people were clearly divided into two groups. One was Iksi, a member of the magic toad clan, who was leaning against the wall, and her puppet, and the rest of the people were the other group.

Iksi not only looks like a frog, but also has some of its characteristics, such as hibernation. When Linde first came in, he thought she was dead because she was hibernating and her body temperature was very low.

The atmosphere between neighbors, which was supposed to be harmonious and friendly, has now become very tense.

Everyone surrounded Iksi.

Ilfa was amazed at Ixi's magical attainments. Although the fight was very brief, based on the level of magic displayed in that brief fight, Ilfa was very sure that even the dean of the Holy Empire National Strength Magic Academy would not be able to gain any advantage at her hands.

Cynthia was always ready to fight. First, Iksi was a different race, and second, she had an evil intelligent puppet by her side. The combination of the two was enough to make any devout nun of the God Emperor furious and desperate to purify the other party, but Cynthia did not do that. She wanted to give Lind a face.

Linde was very unhappy now, and he was ready to draw his sword and roast a frog. His capable secretary was almost electrocuted to death. Although it was caused by a certain reason and some accidental factors, it still made Linde very unhappy.

Efit was half-sitting on the chair, staring at Lind. After being on the verge of death, he was saved by Lind in such an intimate way, with chest massage and mouth-to-mouth sex. Efit's eyes were blurred at this time. To put it in a subtle way, it was affectionate, and to put it in a direct way, it was just that he wanted to eat a hot dog.

As for the other new beastmen, they were all rubbing their hands and ready to take action. As long as the Son of God gave the order, they would immediately chop down the giant toad regardless of their own safety.

The guests wanted to chop her, but Ixie didn't feel it. Thousands of years of staying at home made her extremely lack of social skills. The puppet reminded her that she had to give gifts to the guests in return. Ixie really thought about what gift to give back, and then Lind asked for a huge amount of money.

"I want the magic crystal production equipment you have here."

"Okay." Iksi agreed to Lind's request very readily.

Hearing Iksi's straightforward agreement, Linde was also stunned. The value of the magic crystal is needless to say. No matter what kind of magic crystal it is, it is more expensive than the same weight of gold. The equipment that can make such an expensive thing is given to you just by saying so! ?

Not only Lind, but everyone present who knew the price of the magic crystal opened their mouths in surprise, especially Ilfa, whose mouth was so wide open that a whole sausage could be stuffed in.

"Are you kidding me?" Illufa was so surprised that he didn't care about etiquette and asked directly. "Magic crystals can only be generated naturally! It's impossible to make them artificially! This has long been a consensus!"

"I don't know what consensus you are talking about, but I do have equipment for manufacturing magic crystals." Iksi was indifferent to Ilufa's surprise and just repeated it calmly.

Ilufa was choked and was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to say. This was not surprising, after all, magic crystals were a non-renewable resource that could only be formed naturally, which was already a consensus among magicians today. Of course, there had always been alchemists who tried to artificially create magic crystals, but most of them eventually joined the Trickster God.

"Madam, please be patient. We will know whether it is true or not when we go and take a look later." Lin De comforted his wife.

Under Linde's persuasion, Illufa sat back. Linde was not surprised by the lady's reaction. In the past, there were countless examples of scientists proposing new theories that conflicted with the mainstream and aroused strong reactions from the mainstream, such as the heliocentric theory in the distant past and Schrödinger's cat in the recent past. In the medical field that Linde was familiar with, the question of whether to wash hands alone has driven several medical scientists to death in history.

Whether the magic crystal can be manufactured will directly determine Lind's future development plan. Now it seems that things are developing in the direction that Lind hopes for.

After finalizing the magic crystal production equipment, Iksi immediately ordered them to leave, asking the puppet to take them to get something, and then sent Linde and the others away. Before leaving, Linde also asked for some corn, which Iksi agreed to without thinking.

After everyone left, Iksi used magic to close the door.

"I haven't talked to anyone in a long time." Iksi leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief. "I almost forgot how to talk."

"She seems to be reluctant to talk to us." After leaving the room, everyone followed the puppet's lead and walked back. Cynthia expressed her feelings. "She wanted us to leave quickly and didn't want to talk to us any more."

"I haven't communicated with anyone for more than a thousand years. I have been hiding in my room all the time. Now a group of people suddenly appear in front of me. I must be a little uncomfortable." Linde analyzed uncertainly. "What I said may not be right. After all, I am only a short-lived species that can live less than a hundred years. I don't know how these long-lived species think."

In this world, the average life expectancy of ordinary people is very short. Due to poor medical conditions and widespread malnutrition, most people do not live to old age, or even middle age. The exception is the nobles, whose life expectancy is already similar to that of the world Lind traveled to.

When Lind said that he was a short-lived person who would not live to be a hundred years old, Ilufa and Cynthia looked at him in surprise. Didn't Lind know that the life span of the chosen ones would be longer?

The life span of the chosen ones would be extended to varying degrees, and the aging rate would be greatly slowed down. Considering the treatment that Linde received from the Earth Mother Goddess as the Son of God, it was impossible that his life span would only be extended by one or two years, right?

"We're here." Everyone followed the puppet and returned to the previous fork in the road. The road to the left was the room where they arrived last time with Alyssa and where they picked up the puppet.

"These are the equipment for making magic crystals. Lord Tal promised to give you a set. I will mark them out for you."

"Wait a minute." Lind hurriedly called to the puppet. "Is there more than one magic crystal production line here?"

"Production line? Nice name." The puppet thought for a moment. "Of course there is more than one set. There are several sets in the building. The one here is for me to make alternative energy."

Chapter 314: The Big Plan

Following Iksi's instructions, the puppet selected a set of magic crystal production equipment and asked Lind and his party to take it away. After confirming it, Lind ordered his pig beasts to start moving.

It seems that his judgment was correct. The last time he came here, Linde had a vague feeling that the equipment here was used to produce magic crystals.

In the mainstream academic community, magic crystals are precious treasures produced by nature after thousands of years of magic baptism. They cannot be artificially manufactured and can only be obtained from nature. Of course, this theory is also based on facts. Almost all the magic crystals found are located in natural high magic concentration areas, that is, magic enrichment points. After releasing the magic, they are put back into a magic-rich environment, or directly charged with magic charging magic arrays. The magic crystals can still be restored to their original magic-filled state.

However, Lind has always felt that magic crystals can be artificially created. The reason is that there are too many Sylph stones in this building built in the mountains. The number of Sylph stones in the spherical room alone is more than the reserves of the entire Holy Empire. More importantly, almost all of the Sylph stones have very regular shapes and obvious signs of processing.

It is possible that magic crystals can be artificially created, and now the answer to this question is placed in front of Lind.

Magic crystals can indeed be artificially made, not just natural ones. Of course, Lind is not the kind of person who blindly pursues pure natural things, thinking that pure natural things are healthy and harmless, and artificial things have no soul.

Iksi generously gave Linde a set of magic crystal manufacturing facilities for free. It is no exaggeration to say that this is simply the technical support of the 156 major projects when the country was founded. As for the reason why Iksi was so generous, whether it was a simple reward, compensation for injuring Efit, or some other reason, Linde didn't care, as long as he could get this set of equipment, that was enough.

With the corn and potatoes found in the wild, Lind is about to start cheating!

The pig beasts were dismantling and transporting the magic crystal manufacturing facility under the command of the puppet. During the whole process, Linde was watching attentively. When he saw the device being dismantled piece by piece, Linde was shocked again.

This is definitely something designed with modularity! It is an industrial product! It is definitely not made by a hand-made workshop!

Although this thing is still powered by magic, burning coal and using electricity is not the only industry. Industrialization is a mode of production, and this device is obviously the product of a certain industrialized production method.

What are the origins of the residents here and where did this place come from?

The toad nerd girl obviously has social phobia and doesn't want to communicate much. At least at this stage, there is no way to pry her mouth open. If the nerd girl doesn't work, then I can only start with the puppet. Although the puppet itself said that it has actively forgotten a lot of unimportant things, what if there are some left?

Thinking of this, Linde said something to Efit who had been guarding, and walked towards the puppet.

After all, Efit was electrocuted and suffered cardiac arrest. Lind resuscitated Efit through external cardiopulmonary compression, but this was an electrical injury after all, and there was a possibility of delayed myocarditis.

Since there was no electrocardiograph at hand and no way to check the myocardial enzyme spectrum, he could only listen to the heart sounds by putting his ear close to the patient. Lind could only stay with Efitt at all times and deal with any situation immediately until the critical period was over.

After Lind left, Efit looked at Lind's back and licked his lips.

I really want to eat hot dogs.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Puppet." Walking to the puppet that was helping the pig beastman disassemble the transport equipment, Lind chatted with the puppet.

"I am only following the order of Master Tal." The puppet obviously had no intention of chatting with Lind and tried to kill him directly.

"It's not easy for you either." Linde folded his arms and sighed. "It must be very hard for you to take care of such a big building by yourself."

"I also have to manage such a large camp. Every day when I open my eyes, hundreds of people have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and they have to wait on me to serve them. It's hard work."

"It's okay. Many areas here are abandoned. We don't need to go there normally. There's only one person who needs care." Hearing Lind's sigh, the puppet immediately felt the same way and its tone softened a little.

Lind's mouth showed a triumphant smile. Getting closer to people and finding common topics, especially common complaints, is a good starting point.

"Many areas are abandoned?" Lind asked. "Why are they abandoned?"

"Because there's no one to maintain it." The puppet sighed. "It's such a big place, and there are only two people, besides me, there's only that stay-at-home girl who rarely goes out, and when she goes out she uses magic to float. Do you think she can do the job?"

"During the time I was away, she couldn't even feed herself. She was so hungry that she hibernated." The puppet complained bitterly when the boss was away.

The others looked at the man and the puppet and complained, feeling that something was wrong, especially Cynthia, who had taken the mace in her hand several times, wanting to cut the puppet's head.

"Then why is your master still here?" Lind continued to ask. "She looks like she can't take care of herself?"

"I don't know either." The puppet said helplessly. "I have been here since I was created. Although I was assigned to take care of Tal, I figured out many things by myself, such as how to plant corn and potatoes. I figured them out step by step. What a worrying master..."

"Potatoes? Did you grow those wild potatoes outside?"

"No, I planted the first ones, and the ones that came after that may have reproduced on their own."

Through the chat-like exploration, Linde also had a certain understanding of the puppet in front of him. It was made by Tal to take care of himself, but because Tal didn't understand those common sense of life, many skills were figured out by the puppet itself, which naturally made Linde think of the self-learning of artificial intelligence.

And the wild potatoes on the island were also created by the puppet.

"So what are you going to do next? Will you stay here until the end of time?" Lind asked curiously. "If you don't mind, would you like to come to our camp?"

"I can't decide this, and Lord Tal will never agree to leave."

"why?"

"In fact, I have suggested leaving here and living outside, but..." The puppet's words were full of helplessness. "Every time I suggested it, Lord Tal would say that she had a mission to stay here."

"For the big plan or something..."

Chapter 315: Taking the Doll Away

Big plan? Upon hearing this, Linde perked up. This puppet really knew something.

The puppet claimed that it was to save the hard disk... The original word was not hard disk, but it was almost the same meaning. In order to save the hard disk, the puppet regularly cleaned up its memory, and many memories that were not related to work were cleaned up by the puppet. This is also reasonable. For smart products that do not clean up the hard disk for a long time, you can refer to smart phones.

Due to the deletion of its memory and the fact that its creator did not teach it, the puppet knows nothing about many things about the building it is in. But it is, after all, an advanced intelligent puppet that has developed self-awareness. Since it has self-awareness, it will definitely inadvertently retain some relevant memories.

Finally, Lind asked the tip of the iceberg.

"Big plan?" Linde looked curious. "What big plan?"

"I don't know either, I just heard Lord Tal mention it occasionally." The puppet continued in a grumbling tone. "Sometimes Lord Tal would come out of the room and take a look around, and sometimes I would hear Lord Tal say 'for the big plan'."

"I have never asked what the grand plan is, but this so-called grand plan is the motivation that supports Lord Tal to continue to stay here."
