I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

Lula bouncing on the ground, the leaden gray ground reflected the cold light, Slime looked at Lin Xu with big round eyes, 【Pretty Mr. Lin... can you give it back to me...】

The medal has just been placed in a transparent box filled with nitrogen to avoid further oxidation.

Lin Xu's eyelashes trembled, and he withdrew from the cold guess that flashed through his mind, "Huh..."

【Lula! 】

Lula knows that humans can't always tell slimes apart.

"Lula, I want to exchange this with you?" Lin Xu asked it, "Is there anything you want?"

[Hmm...] Lula began to think, Lua leaned close to Lula at this moment, and pressed against Lula hard. The two bright yellow jellies seemed to be sticking together again, and began to whisper what they wanted.

A metal medal is of no use to slime except for its novelty and beauty. Lula and Lua don't mind exchanging it with Lin Xu.

After a while, Lula nodded to Lua, and ended the discussion. It jumped in front of Lin Xu, and said to Lin Xu very seriously: [We want a luxurious slime greenhouse, which can accommodate six slimes. kind of. 】

"Okay." Lin Xu probably guessed that the slime greenhouse is some kind of commercial slime residence. The empire has a complete slime service industry chain, so it should be easy to find, "But now I can't find history on the starship." Lime Greenhouse, I will prepare the Greenhouse for you when you return to Capital Star."

【Great! 】Lua and Lula stick together into a ball, rolling around on the ground, 【Lada and Kaka are going back first, tell them that we also have a greenhouse! 】

Just when Lin Xu and Heinrich were about to leave with the cloud-shaped medal, Luah jumped up and asked Lin Xu to sign a letter of commitment before letting them go.

The door of room 010 closed automatically, the corridor in H area was filled with cold white light, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai smelled the smell of other creatures in H area, slipped out of Lin Xu's room, squatted on the corridor and looked at Lin Xu and Heinrich.

"The assassination at the banquet at the Ancient Earth Museum..." Heinrich also thought of this.

"Maybe Marianna knows something." Lin Xu lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on Heinrich's broad shoulders. He had never understood why anyone would want to assassinate Marleanna. What a threat.

But now, he has a guess.

"The ancient earth was discovered, and what Malianna knew might be confirmed. Those behind the scenes are afraid."

Heinrich: "You are also on the assassination list."

"I was her closest student."

Marlene Anna has brought many graduate students, but only Lin Xu has almost become her family, and was even designated as the heir of the inheritance.

At the same time, Lin Xu was also studying paleo-earth science. The combination of various factors made it easy for the behind-the-scenes to think that Marlene Anna and Lin Xu had exchanged the secrets of the ancient earth's history she had learned.

"What about Ryan?"

Heinrich's reminder made Lin Xu raise his eyes for a moment, his gaze was like a sharpened ice front. He was in the middle of the game, irritated by emotional troubles, and almost forgot another variable in the story.

Yeah, what about Ryan?

"I'm not familiar with Ryan's mentor at Capital Star University. He went to the Ancient Earth Museum as an intern and was randomly assigned to me." Lin Xu said, "Besides Ryan, I have two other interns under me. There was no assassination."

"Did Marianne tell you anything?"

"No."

"Or, some of Marlene's actions made them think that you and Ryan knew about it." Heinrich said, "Do you have any impression?"

Lin Xu frowned and thought. After graduation, he didn't meet Marlene Anna many times, but he kept in touch with Xingwang. As long as it wasn't a rest day, Ryan would work under him.

Lin Xu, who works in the Ancient Earth Museum, is taciturn and has no daily communication with Ryan, but he will definitely answer the problems he encounters in work and study.

There were so many similar discussion guides, and Lin Xu couldn't think of any one that was special.

Heinrich didn't urge him, first handed the metal medal to Zhou Pingbo for basic testing, and after having dinner with Lin Xu, he caught Ryan running around in Ika's studio.

When the two walked into the studio, Ika was dealing with daily work while explaining various electronic instruments in the room to Ryan, who was overly curious, without looking back, as if he was perfunctory for a child.

When Heinrich's voice sounded, he didn't care, his eyes were still glued to the countless screens emitting blue light, until he heard the footsteps of another person beside Heinrich, and suddenly turned his head .

"Dr. Lin."

Ika added in the next sentence, "Marshal."

Lin Xu said, "I'm looking for Ryan."

Yika nodded, moved the seat, and made way for Lin Xu to go around and pull out Ryan who was wandering in the instrument.

The robot grunted and rolled out several stacked boxes to serve as seats for the three.

"Ah... hello marshal, hello teacher Lin!" Ryan jumped up from the pile of Ika's instruments, with a few cables wrapped around his head and neck, and the cables were wrapped in insulating materials of different colors, making Ryan Looks like a colorful silly bird,

"Sit down, I have a question for you."

Ryan, who was struggling to tear apart the cable, sat down obediently in front of Lin Xu and Heinrich who were standing side by side. Ika seemed dissatisfied with Ryan's state of facing Lin Xu, and came over to help him remove the entangled The cables are untied.

Ryan murmured his thanks.

"Ryan."

"Huh?" Ryan straightened his sitting posture immediately.

Lin Xu avoided the accident between slime and star G398, and got straight to the point: "A year ago, did we discuss the issue about Marlene Anna?"

"Professor Purse? No..." Ryan stuck for a moment. He knew that Marlene Anna's death had a great impact on Lin Xu, so he answered in a measured tone, "But I have heard a lecture on ancient earth poetry given by Professor Purse. , She is really talented and inspired me a lot.”

Lin Xu remembered the lecture. He did not attend the lecture in person, but Marlene Anna asked him to help revise the lecture script. The content of the lecture mainly involved the romantic poetry of the ancient earth, and there was no historical content that might stimulate the nerves of the high-level empire.

"Mr. Lin, does this have anything to do with... the previous assassination?"

Lin Xu nodded with a cold face: "I have two other interns under me. They are all well and there are no accidents. What do you think is special about our relationship?"

Ryan's movement of inhaling air was suddenly stopped, and he didn't dare to look at Heinrich next to him.

Could there be anything special about his relationship with Mr. Lin... Does he particularly respect teachers?

"I, I..." Ryan thought for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence, "I published papers with you, but they didn't."

Lin Xu looked sideways at these words, and asked with a little doubt, "Really, when?"

Even Ika looked over.

"Actually, not exactly." Ryan covered his face and couldn't help but keep saying respectfully, "I wrote it inspired by you, and I even asked if I should put your name as the second author. If you said no, I just Put you in the acknowledgments."

"Which one?"

"That's right, it's called "The Transmutation of Sorrow—From Ancient Greek Tragedy, Ancient Earth Romanticism, Old World Poets to Contemporary Technology Powerless Poetry." Ryan wants to get into the ground now, and he still remembers Lin Xu watching There was a long silence after that.

Then tell him that the writing is very good, don't write it next time.

Then he said, don't worry, the journal he submitted will accept it.

Ryan couldn't tell for a moment whether it was irony or comfort.

Lin Xu thought about it hard, and finally remembered something. Ryan seemed to have shown him this article. The article was written with passion, but the content was really nonsense.

But this is not to blame Ryan, the empire left too little historical and cultural information on the ancient earth, Ryan just couldn't find a suitable reference.

After that, Lin Xu began to gradually guide Ryan in the direction of cultural relic restoration, and he gave Ryan the replica of the Arc de Triomphe customized by the Hill family for training.

But judging from the results, it can only be said...Ryan is a very passionate and thoughtful child.

Lin Xu wanted to sigh, but seeing Ryan's pitiful and embarrassed look, he asked as gently as possible: "What did you write in the thank you?"

Although it is nonsense, but because it is superficial and nonsensical, it does not exceed the conventional scope of ancient earth literature research, so Ryan will not get a headshot mechanical bullet.

The problem can only appear in the thank you part linking him to Lin Xu.

"I, I was inspired to write this article when I saw two poems you translated. One is 'If life deceives you, don't be sad, don't worry'" Ryan said, "The other is , 'I have loved you silently and hopelessly, and may God, another love you as I do.'”

Ryan glanced at Ika who was still expressionless, but Lin Xu's frown made him even more nervous, "Mr. Lin, what's the problem?"

"It's nothing, it's just that you memorized the sentences in the second poem in the wrong order." Lin Xu waved his hand, let go of his brows, and asked him not to care, "Why did you put these two lines in the thank you?"

Ryan: "I have read the full text of your translation, but you said that you wrote it down from memory. I tried to trace the evidence, but I couldn't find the source, so I didn't put them in the text for analysis and argumentation. Mention you and these two poems in the acknowledgments."

"The original text of the first poem was given to me by Marlene Anna for translation, only the first half, but I... I read this poet's work by accident, completed the second half by myself, and wrote another silently. First to her."

Ryan was cautious, "Does this have anything to do with the assassination?"

Lin Xu looked up at him, and said bluntly, "I don't know. The author of this poem had been dead for 200 years when the Ark fleet set sail."

He remembered Marianne handing him the first half of the poem, saying she had gotten it by chance.

Is this accident related to the corpse of star G398?Where is the rest?

Lin Xu was almost buried in a pile of questions by his thoughts. These questions spanned 3000 years and tens of millions of light-years away, making it difficult for people to figure out.

But the assassination of the high-level empire is real, and the abyss fleet has not yet reached the center of the empire, and the gloomy and suspicious clouds have shrouded again.

Sailing in the dead and deserted universe, Heinrich was able to clean up possible threats in the Abyss Fleet by virtue of his power. Once he returned to the Empire, the temporarily hidden Sword of Damocles would return.

The secret killing intent is as terrifying as death, it will definitely come, but people don't know when it will come.

A few days later, the Abyss Fleet and Elam Fleet entered the empire's territory, and the star network signal was restored, but the loading speed was still a bit slow.

A civil aviation spaceship accompanied by a frigate was waiting on the fleet's channel, with a white flying bird pattern painted on the ship's side, and "White Bird Shipping Company is at your service wholeheartedly" in imperial language.

The Natural Evolution rose above the overall plane of the fleet, and after slowing down, a space shuttle slid out of the wide-open hatch, also painted with a white bird pattern, heading towards the civil aviation spacecraft in the dark blue tail flame.

The civil aviation spacecraft turned on the docking mode and successfully connected to the space shuttle.

Nearly a hundred starships in the entire fleet adjusted their formation and speed for this docking, until the light from the spaceship that fell into the dark space through the open hatch disappeared with the closure, and the spaceship left the fleet's sailing range.

The Abyss Fleet and Elam Fleet accelerated again, mighty and mighty, like a torrent of steel in silence, heading towards the New Moon Special Zone, the political, cultural and economic center of the empire.

After the White Bird spaceship separated from the fleet, it made two jumps. After the space-time state returned to stability, Godric sat down on the sofa with a glass of clear and cold blue fruit wine and took a breath.

The interior of the spaceship does not have a conventional cabin structure, but is opened up into a huge space, decorated as a comfortable living room.

Money can do a lot of things, in addition to building a private spaceship into a space villa, you can also stuff yourself into an imperial expedition, travel around the ancient earth, and leave the fleet early on the return trip to return on your own.

Godric is sitting in the living room with warm and bright light, and the French windows directly opposite are the infinite galaxy. Walking beside him are two intelligent simulation robots, a man and a woman, dressed in waiter costumes, serving Godric respectfully and gently. Towels and water.

"Mr. Chasman, the bathroom is ready. Would you like to take a bath now?" the female robot bowed and asked.

Godric first glanced at the brain information, showing concern, then put the empty wine glass in her hand, "No, you go out first."

The two robots backed away. Godric wiped his face with a hot towel, feeling the tense muscles on his face relax a lot, and then dialed an encrypted communication.

The signal in this starry sky is not good, so he waited for a while.

The communication light screen was enlarged in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. After a few seconds, the loading was complete, and a man with silver hair appeared on the screen. He was sitting at his desk, and seemed to be interrupted by Godric's communication in the middle of his work. He was a little unhappy He asked calmly: "Godric, what do you want me to do when you have nothing to do? Didn't you see that I was busy?"

"Lago, my dear Lago, I would like to ask you for a favor."

The face of the man in the light screen has traces left by years, wind, swords and frosts. The stern and mighty brows show his military status, but the military uniform he is wearing at the moment does not belong to any army of the empire.

Facing Godric, he obviously didn't intend to maintain his airs, and snorted coldly, "Say, don't cause trouble in the empire again."

"No, it's not an accident," Godric said with a smile, "I want to buy the mecha you drove before, bard, but the Paris family rejected me, I want to ask you for help."

"How can I help, cheat the corpse back?"

"No, no, no, just tell me some Paris family secrets, and I will threaten them. Don't worry, I will definitely give you enough money. You know that I am very generous."

"I know you like throwing money around," Largo said, "but what do you want a bard for? You don't know how to pilot armor."

"Send someone."

Lago glared in defiance.

Godric explained: "For His Majesty, he likes bards very much."

Lago looked at him, feeling speechless, "OK, OK, I know you're a fanatic, come here, listen..."

If any of the Paris family members were here, I'm afraid they would cry and scream that Lago Paris is still alive! General Paris, who died in the Battle of Skyfall 30 years ago, is still alive!

But now there is only Godric who is full of thoughts about preparing gifts for His Majesty.

After some conversations, Godric was satisfied with what he wanted, and he planned to go to the main house of the Paris family after returning to the capital to help His Majesty buy back his favorite mecha. A deciphered version of the oracle was sent to the Whisperers and the Alliance.

Then he dialed the next communication non-stop, and the waiting time for this communication was even longer.

A few minutes later, the communication was connected, and the screen was still shaking. It seemed that the other party had just found a suitable place to connect to the communication.

Godric saw three stars on the epaulets flashing in the blur.

"Lieutenant Colonel Chen Jingshan has been promoted again? Congratulations, it's time to call you Colonel Chen."

"What's the matter?" Chen Jingshan had just calmed down after exercising, and his tone revealed a coldness.

"The Abyss Fleet passed by star G398, Your Majesty knows what happened on it."

The author has something to say:
