Chapter 408 Lin Mo's Arrival, Leading All Races to a Frenzy
Benedict led his entourage to a magnificent circular building.
"This is the Royal Library of our Holy Kingdom."
He raised his head, his face full of piety and pride.
"It contains all the history and wisdom of the continent of Terra since the founding of the kingdom."
He Wuqi looked up.
The library is indeed magnificent, with a soaring dome and walls covered with reliefs.
"Can we go in and take a look?"
"Of course, please follow me."
Benedict pushed open the heavy, ornate door.
A scent mixed with old paper and incense wafted over.
The library is extremely spacious, with rows of towering bookshelves reaching all the way to the ceiling.
But strangely, there wasn't a single person reading a book here.
Only a few priests in robes were quietly wiping the bookshelves.
He Wuqi walked to a bookshelf and pulled out a book.
The book is thick and heavy, with a tanned leather cover and a title in gold foil: "The Holy Light Canon, Volume Three".
He turned to a few pages, which were filled with obscure doctrines and hymns.
He then pulled out a few more books.
"The Life of the Holy Son", "History of the Holy War", "The Pope's Sayings", and "The Complete Book of Holy Light Magic".
Without exception, they were all books related to religion, history, and magic.
As for other ethnic groups, there are some, but very few; however, there are quite a few poems.
He Wuqi turned to look at Benedict.
"Your Excellency, do you have any books here on agriculture, mining, metallurgy, or commerce?"
Benedict raised his chin and pointed to a corner, saying:
"They also have a collection of books for ordinary people; they're over there."
He Wuqi nodded, but didn't actually go to see it, and there wasn't much to see anyway; it was too outdated.
He asked this mainly to see if their library was truly comprehensive.
Just then, a cell phone in one of the group members' pockets suddenly vibrated slightly.
He took it out and glanced at it.
A holy knight standing guard at the door spotted the glowing "board".
It was a small screen, about the size of a palm, with several lines of blue characters lit up on it.
His eyes widened instantly, and his hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the sword hilt.
What kind of magical item is that?
Benedict was also drawn to the attention.
He asked curiously:
"Mr. He, what is your companion holding...?"
He Wuqi smiled.
"Something that makes it easier for us to communicate internally."
He gestured to the member of the group.
The group member immediately understood and pressed the answer button.
A clear voice came from the phone.
"Hey? How's it going on your end? Is everything going smoothly?"
"The satellite just happened to be flying over to your area, and we wanted to test if the communication was working properly."
The sound wasn't loud, but it traveled clearly to everyone's ears in the quiet library.
Benedict: "!!!"
His smile froze on his face, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
This is... a form of communication?
No incantations are needed, and there are no magical fluctuations?
And the sound was so clear, it was like someone was speaking right next to your ear!
He strode forward, staring intently at the phone, his voice trembling slightly.
"What...what is this device...and how far can it communicate?"
He Wuqi introduced:
"We call it a 'satellite phone'."
"It's still in the testing phase. Once the satellites are fully deployed, we'll be able to make calls anytime across the entire continent of Terra."
Benedict's brain buzzed.
He suddenly looked up at He Wuqi, his eyes filled with shock and greed.
No distance is a barrier; make instant calls!
The value of this thing...
Militarily, politically... their impact is simply immeasurable!
This is far better than the communication crystals that are inscribed with communication magic and can only be used for communication within the city!
He Wuqi understood what was going on when he saw Benedict's flustered expression.
He knew he had found the key to the Holy Kingdom's treasury.
He drew a heavy circle after the words "satellite phone" on the notebook.
......
the other side.
Inside a hot pot restaurant in the underground city of Daxia.
Kael, Thorin, Elder Woodwhisper, Grom, and other members of the Terran delegation were all inside.
The four alien races, along with the officials from the Great Xia Dynasty, totaled seventy or eighty people, filling the hall to capacity.
It is worth mentioning that they have all changed into the clothing of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The original gorgeous robes, heavy armor, and rough furs have all been replaced by simple T-shirts and shirts.
The orc's body was too large and unusual, so it was custom-made.
The half-orcs, dressed in shirts and with bulging muscles, truly looked like 'wolves in sheep's clothing'.
Meanwhile, the cat-eared and fox-spirit tribes, under Lin Mo's selection, changed into adorable princess dresses and cheongsams.
Especially the Fox Charm Clan, who proactively said they wanted the kind of stockings that girls outside wear. After communicating with them, Lin Mo realized that they meant stockings.
Her graceful figure was clad in a cheongsam, black stockings, and a fluffy fox tail; she swayed as she walked in high heels...
The sight stirred something within Lin Mo.
As expected of the Fox Spirit Clan!
The mermaid also wanted one, so they reluctantly dressed her in a cheongsam, but because her lower body was a fish, she couldn't wear stockings.
To solve her problem of getting wet, we provided her with a balance scooter to take her around.
Fortunately, they were all at least at the third level, and their muscle control and balance were excellent, allowing them to master the skills with ease.
This way, she wouldn't have to be carried on her back by her tribesmen anymore.
Water and drinks are readily available throughout the underground city, so she can drink as much as she wants without worrying about getting thirsty.
These three stunning beauties, with their unique appearances, became the most eye-catching presence in the entire delegation throughout the journey.
Passersby also took photos.
With Lin Mo's permission, many people even took photos with him.
Both the host and guests had a pleasant time, and both sides were very happy.
Unlike Liu Youwan's rigid and formal reception style, Lin Mo's main point was that everyone was one of his own, and being happy was the most important thing.
Tonight, Lin Mo specially booked the entire hot pot restaurant.
Originally, the mission members should have stayed in a special accommodation, with their meals prepared by a top-notch chef.
But after Lin Mo arrived from the underground city of Tian Shu, he spent a day with the various races, and the food he ate made him shake his head.
My mouth feels so bland!
Although there are standards and regulations for state banquets to welcome foreign guests, they are too rigid.
There are rules such as no spicy food, no bones for people to spit out (because it's considered inelegant), no using your hands, and food must be easy to pick up with chopsticks.
Unable to sleep at night, he decided to take people from all ethnic groups to taste the true delicacies of the world!
Given Lin Mo's status, if he wants to bring people out for a late-night snack, who would dare to say a word against it?
As a diplomat, Liu Youwan was several ranks lower and dared not disobey.
Thus, the absurd yet lively scene before us came to be.
stab-
The red oil sizzles, and the rich aroma of the oil, mixed with the spiciness of the chili, instantly fills the air.
"Glug glug".
Inside the copper pot, the red and white broth was steaming hot.
