Chapter 15 The Leading Party(1/2)
Wearing the newly transformed rabbit mask, the Moon Rabbit looks particularly mysterious in this colorful Whispering Square. The mask not only hides her true face, but also adds a bit of mystery and unpredictable temperament.
She reached out and opened the capsule series of positioning elements. The positioning elements were used to help team members develop each other after injecting the light-hiding agent.
After turning on the positioning element, the teammates around her who had been giving her the flickering feeling suddenly became clear.
Then, her voice passed through the mask and was conveyed clearly to every team member
"All members dispersed to investigate, and based on the information given by the goblin merchants, found the two direct personnel from the 'vomiter' in the Whispering Square. At the same time, investigate and collect all information about the Whispering Square, and remember to open the message of the mechanical butler
Sharing and operator assistance. Finally, remember, don’t cause turmoil and don’t take action privately.”
After receiving the order, the other commando team members nodded to the Moon Rabbit to express their understanding.
Then, the Moon Rabbit made a simple but clear gesture. This was a signal within the task force, which meant that the team members could start to disperse.
After receiving the signal, the commandos of the task force began to spread out quickly but silently. Each of them was familiar with how to conduct reconnaissance and collect information without attracting attention.
After the team members dispersed, the Moon Rabbit called out the mechanical butler Rabbit.
The rabbit hovered next to her and turned on the optical cloaking device.
"Rabbit, turn on the real-time recording function, synchronize the law enforcement images to the director's office, and at the same time, start the corresponding terrain mapping." She calmly ordered to Rabbit.
"Understood!" Rabbit responded, and then its mechanical-like prosthetic eyes began to flow with countless turbulent flows of data.
After doing this, the Moon Rabbit began to wander around the magic fountain at the beginning of the Whispering Square.
Her eyes always fell involuntarily on a statue in the center of the magic fountain.
There is a huge magic wand sculpture made of sterling silver in the center of the fountain. The tip of the wand points to the sky and sprays out colorful magic water from time to time. When it falls into the fountain, it will make a sweet sound, like the sound of nature.
Moon Rabbit's sense of crisis told her that this was a very dangerous hub defense weapon. It was precisely because of its existence that she told other members of the task force not to take action privately.
She strolled through the magic fountain, which was surrounded by a square made of magic stones. The square was dotted with various small magical plants, such as glowing luminous flowers and singing silver-leaf grass. These plants illuminated the square at night.
Natural lighting and background music are provided.
There are several benches made of ancient wood around for people to rest and communicate.
The benches are engraved with patterns of various magical creatures. Touching these patterns will also make people feel the characteristics of the corresponding creatures. For example, the pattern of the phoenix will give people warmth and comfort.
The Moon Rabbit walked and observed, while thinking about the next task in his mind.
"According to the information given by the goblin merchants, a large amount of foreign capital has settled in the Whispering Square. Many forces from all walks of life have set up their own production lines in the newly formed hub block. The 'Emetic' is naturally no exception. Their pharmaceutical factories
It is most likely set up here in the Whispering Square."
The Edici Federation is one of the few alien forces that has completely opened market access to foreign races. Although the Oletin Empire and the Daevite Empire are both alien forces, they still use slavery for foreign races.
After the New World fell and the [Golden Tree] connected all realms, the Edici Federation announced in the alien state that aliens could also join the federation and become federal citizens, and established the "Alien Rights Act" to protect alien citizens in the federation.
Legitimate rights and interests.
Many alien forces from all walks of life are attracted by the Federation's generous investment conditions, and a large number of aliens have established business operations with the Federation, including establishing production facilities, purchasing local companies or establishing joint ventures with local companies.
Many foreign manufacturers have also directly moved their production lines to hub neighborhoods and established production bases directly in target markets to help companies enter the big markets of the new world more effectively, bypass trade barriers such as high tariffs and import restrictions, and more directly meet the needs of local consumers.
need.
The ‘vomiters’ have also kept pace with the times, and they have also moved their production lines to the hub block to avoid the dual interference from the FBI and the Administration in reality.
As we all know, the FBI cannot stuff money, but the Bureau of Investigation will not interfere with anything in the hub block.
Therefore, if the production line is established in a hub block, the Bureau of Investigation will not take care of it.
The Administration has just been established. Although it is one of the three giants of the New Alliance, its interference and influence in the federation is extremely weak.
However, this weak attitude should change.
Moon Rabbit and her mechanical butler Adam walked slowly along the Whispering Square, carefully marking and observing each unique shop.
Everywhere in the square was full of strange things, but her eyes were always looking for the places that caught her attention the most. Finally, her footsteps stopped in front of an astrology shop located in the corner of the square——
【Thousand Eyes Star Observation House】.
The appearance of this store presents a simple and mysterious style, with late night blue and starry silver as the main colors, which perfectly blends the depth of the night sky and the twinkling of stars. Above the store, a signboard made of phantom crystal hangs.
The name "Thousand Eyes Star Observation House" is engraved on it.
Under the bright lights of the hub, this signboard shimmers softly under the starlight, as if guiding people with a deep desire for the stars to come and explore.
At the door, a small and exquisite copper telescope sculpture stands quietly, with the telescope lens pointing towards the sky.
The Moon Rabbit's keen intuition made her stop here. She obeyed her inner intuition and headed towards the stargazing room.
jingle--
When the Moon Rabbit opened the door of the Star Observation House, the wind chimes on the door made a crisp and sweet sound, as if to welcome her arrival.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! She stepped into the store, and her eyes were immediately attracted by the interior decoration full of astronomical and astrological elements.
The interior of the store is full of astronomical and astrological elements, and the walls are covered with ancient star charts and celestial movement charts, as well as depictions of various constellations.
A large, sophisticated bronze telescope is placed in the center, pointed at the skylight, and customers can use it to observe specific stars.
There is a dedicated astrology area in the corner, equipped with a crystal ball, astrolabe and a complex set of astrological instruments.
The Moon Rabbit's eyes passed through the store's decorations that were full of star magic, and he was quickly attracted to the store manager, a short but slender halfling woman.
The old halfling woman's hair had a hint of silvery gray and was tied casually into a low ponytail. A few strands of broken hair hung gently beside her ears, adding a bit of gentleness and kindness.
Her outfit is simple and practical, usually a soft brown robe with delicate star and moon patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collar, demonstrating her love of astronomy. Around her neck, hangs a slender silver chain.
, a small copper astrolabe hangs on the chain.
The Moon Rabbit couldn't help but recall the racial records about halflings in his mind: Halflings are usually between three and four feet tall (approximately 0.9 to 1.2 meters), and their bodies are shorter than ordinary humans.
They have very thick soles and long, curly foot hair, so halflings usually don't wear shoes.
Moreover, halflings' faces often appear youthful and happy, and their lifespans are longer than those of ordinary humans.
Halflings are known for their bravery, optimism, and loyalty. Although they tend to live calm and uneventful lives, they can also display amazing courage and determination when necessary.
The old woman in front of me must be in her 70s, but her face is still full of mellow joy.
At this moment, in the quiet atmosphere of the Thousand Eyes Star Observation Room, the old halfling woman was immersed in her own little enjoyment.
While she savored the sweets in her hands, she blew out wisps of smoke from the gorgeous pipe. It seemed that this moment gave her great satisfaction and peace.
When the wind chimes sounded on the door, she raised her head slightly and looked at the door, but she just muttered to herself, "The wind is too strong, why did the door open?"
Apparently, she didn't notice the arrival of the Moon Rabbit who had applied light-hiding agent.
The Moon Rabbit stood quietly next to her, observing the halfling woman who lived under the stars.
Memories of the unique and comfortable eating habits of halflings emerged in her mind - they were indeed famous foodies, and arranged multiple meals throughout the day, including breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and midnight snacks.
.
This love and enjoyment of food seems to be one of the most talked about parts of halfling culture.
Indulging in the atmosphere of desserts and nicotine enjoyment, the old woman seemed unaware of the approaching danger.
If the Moon Rabbit is on an assassination mission at this moment, then she only needs to take out the Star Breath, adjust it to silent mode, and then she can open the old woman's head without anyone noticing.
So the old woman is lucky.
The Moon Rabbit opened his mouth and called the old woman politely.
"Good evening, ma'am."
"ah--"
This simple and polite greeting echoed in the quiet astrology room, but it unexpectedly frightened the old woman named Eloldis.
She was enjoying her dessert and smoking the tobacco from her magnificent pipe, not expecting anyone to appear in front of her at such an hour, especially since she had not noticed anyone entering the shop.
Eloldis trembled with fright, and the dessert in her left hand that she was about to put into her mouth fell directly to the ground with a slight sound. Fortunately, the pipe in her hand was firmly held
, did not suffer the same fate.
There was a confused and frightened expression on her face, and her eyes were wide open as she looked at the bumpy "girl" who suddenly appeared in front of her wearing a mask, yellow rabbit ears on her head, and a field combat uniform.
”.
"Who are you?"
Although the appearance of the Moon Rabbit surprised Eloldis for a moment, as an experienced astrologer, she quickly adjusted her emotions.
Eloldis subconsciously activated the necklace with the [Prediction Technique] around his neck. The compass on the necklace rotated several times, but it did not give it any feedback as usual.
Without feedback, this is a magic trick that even the [Master] can predict a little bit of information...
Eloldis was extremely frightened in her heart, but she was experienced and did not show it.
"It is the first time for a guest to come to Whispering Square. When he sees the stargazing room, he wants to come in and see what he can gain." The Moon Rabbit replied in a cold tone.
"Harvest? What do you want, guest?" Eloldis took a puff of his pipe to suppress his shock, and then asked quickly.
The Moon Rabbit pointed to the ground beneath his feet.
"I want to know everything about the Whispering Square - the terrain, business conditions, local snakes, and the distribution of various racial forces."
Upon hearing the Moon Rabbit's request, Eloldis' mouth opened slightly, showing a hint of surprise.
