After discussing with Zhongyue, his eldest brother, how to ask Xi to help promote the pharmaceutical equipment production plan, Zhongyue said that he would ask the people in Sisitai to allow [Xi] to leave Huiqishan temporarily and arrange for her to go to Longmen.

After leaving Zhongyue, Xia Lan wandered around the city for a while, saw the huge sand navigation and urban sand removal mechanism, and visited the blacksmith shop, medicine shop, martial arts school and other places where crouching tigers, hidden dragons, etc.

Then I met the guy who recorded the military attache again and got his exact answer.

After verifying the drug samples, the Yumen government attached great importance to the cooperation brought by Xia Lan, and immediately contacted Longmen, confirmed the medical cooperation from Rhode Island from Wei Yanwu, and established the highest priority

project.

However, it should take another month to complete the matter of inviting Dong Xi. Not only is it tiring to travel, but also reporting to the court, reviewing and approving documents, and mobilizing manpower are all very time-consuming tasks.

After the second discussion, Xia Lan left Yumen and returned to the Bad Boy, but this time he did not return directly, but took a detour to Longmen.

Because Xia Lan negotiated too quickly, they actually still had five or six extra hours. If they went to Longmen for an extra trip, they could have two more hours to do things - he planned to find what he had done a long time ago.

The Tianshi Pavilion that I saw on the edge of the Longmen plot.

That place is called [Chenglingxuan]. Xia Lan found out in her spare time that it is the residence of a great Celestial Master of the Yan Kingdom (that is, a fifth-level magician with the position of Celestial Master). He usually makes plants and trees.

A nurtured business.

They also receive treatment for mineral sickness there, but it is said that these are extremely expensive customized herbal therapies. According to online reviews, they use some very mysterious things, such as attaching plants to the body.

Xia Lan thought that she could ask him to come to Rhode Island to help. He might be able to help optimize the prescription, or even cultivate plants that could produce specific materials.

In fact, Xia Lan originally had the idea of ​​using heirlooms as petri dishes for biochemical medicine, but he gave up because it was difficult to implement and the operation was too abstract. If he had Agor's equipment and biochemical technology, he should be able to implement it... but it still counts.

.

…

With this in mind, Xia Lan returned to Longmen, where she had not seen for a long time, but she was not in a hurry to stop admiring this cyber city, Jingfeng City. Instead, she directly followed the navigation to the edge area here.

After a while, at the edge of the plot, there was the exit of an underground passage.

Xia Lan stood on the edge of the platform, looking at the castle in the air made of complex spell arrays in front of her, and felt a strong shock that was completely different from before.

There are at least three levels of spell arrays around the pavilion:

The outermost layer is a strong defensive barrier, which can resist the intrusion of free source stones and solid materials, and hide traces in some directions;

The second level is the anti-gravity position, which constitutes the main source of force that pulls the pavilion to float in the air;

The third floor... Xia Lan couldn't see the specific structure from this distance, but it should be mainly used to maintain the stability of the pavilion building itself, and also be used to operate the movement of some blocks.

"It's really amazing..." He admired. He estimated that even if he copied it, it would take him at least two months to build it with all the materials, let alone designing the structure, writing spells, and purchasing materials.

After admiring, he restrained his instinctive repulsion against foreign spells, retracted his mental power that was always roaming in the space around him, and walked towards the floating platform that he had walked on before.

"Hey... Is this a little newer than before? Is the original one broken?" He muttered, tapping the mechanism on the armrest and seeing it gradually move, but he still didn't think much about it.

As the pavilion got closer and closer, he soon felt a layer of detection spells passing over him, followed by another layer of gravity adjustment spells that flashed instantly.

After possessing profound knowledge of magic, the Source Stone energy flowing in the air here was like a piece of computer program in his eyes - he could see its arrangement at a glance, and its functions were at the bottom of his heart.

But because of this, he can better understand the time, wisdom and wealth required to create this castle in the air.

Ten seconds passed, and the floating stone slab slowly slowed down and stopped in front of the main hall of [Chenglingxuan]. In front of it was a garden planted with various strange plants, and beyond that was the main entrance, which slowly opened a crack.

He walked through these potted plants from the Sargon Rainforest, the Northern Usas Plains, the Victoria Grassland, the Casimir Wilderness, the Rembito Mountains, and the Iberian Coast, and suddenly realized that the concentration of free source stones here was lower than that in the outside world.

Several orders of magnitude.

"The effect of this magic circle is quite good..." He praised and walked into the main entrance.

The scene in front of me was exactly the same as in my memory. The only difference was probably that the types of potted plants had changed a lot.

"If the customer wants to buy potted plants, please take a look for yourself first. If you need other services, please inform us directly." The mysterious gentle male voice sounded from the pavilion again.

Xia Lan took a deep breath and asked: "Sir, do you know about a pharmaceutical company called [Rhode Island Pharmaceutical Company]? We have developed a specific drug for oriosis and are in the second phase of testing of the drug.

, I heard that you have done some things in the treatment of oriopathy, can you come to Rhode Island and provide us with some valuable advice?"

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of [XL medicine] that he had brought out earlier from his pocket, and raised his hand slightly.

The air was quiet for a few seconds. As Xia Lan listened to her own echo gradually disappearing, she couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation and worry.

Then, an extremely delicate force field suddenly grabbed the small bottle in his hand, unscrewed the cap, took out a pill, and floated upward with it.

"Please wait a moment. If it's really worth it, then it's okay to leave." The gentle male voice said again, but this time it sounded obviously more humane and no longer as empty as before.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be easy to talk to, Xia Lan finally relaxed a little. She simply found a stairway to sit down, took out her terminal and browsed the Longmen intranet.

The movie "Nian" recently released its PV2, and Xia finally appeared in it. Xia Lan had a kind smile on her face... But why does Xia seem to be a little older than in the impression?

As we continue to watch, the final release of the movie has arrived. On October 1st this year, the comment section said that it was one of the most anticipated movies of the year. Various speculations abounded, and the predicted score of Garlic Clove was already 9.7.

"I always thought it might be an upset..." Xia Lan couldn't help but mutter, but thinking about the professional team she asked to hire in Nian, she still didn't think much about it.

After he surfed for a while, the gentle young voice suddenly sounded behind Xia Lan, startling him.

"What do you call him?" A handsome young man from the dragon tribe with a gentle color smiled at him.

The other party was wearing a set of simple Yan-style robes and had long hair tied up. He was dressed like an ordinary scholar, and the most important thing was: the sweet scent of grass and trees on his body.

"Xia Lan..." Xia Lan said subconsciously, then realized and praised: "You look much younger than I thought. You have obviously been famous for more than 20 years."

"It's just well maintained." The other party smiled.

"Just call me Lin Lu. When will we set off?" he asked. Although his tone and expression were still calm and gentle, it was obvious that he sounded a bit expectant.

"You can leave right away, but you just left Chenglingxuan here and don't want it anymore? It will take more than ten days for Rhode Island to reach Longmen." Xia Lan said in surprise.

"Yeah, that's right~" The other party was obviously stunned for a moment, put down the suitcase in his hand, walked back to the steps and said, "Then I'll turn off those things."

Seeing that the other party did not seem to be as reliable as she thought, Xia Lan's eyes became more and more strange as she watched him leave, thinking to herself what kind of mess of weirdos she had met...

Anyway, all in all, two hours after arriving in Longmen, that is, at five o'clock in the evening, Xia Lan, the pilot, and Lin Lu had a snack together in the well of Longmen Market, and then boarded the aircraft back to Rhode Island.

…

"That's the way it is." Xia Lan said to Kelsey in a slightly embarrassed tone in the office.

Kelsey looked at him for a few seconds, then showed a helpless expression and explained the reason for her unhappiness: "We shouldn't have made the matter so big. If we went too deep into those forces and established too many relationships with them,

Contact, that may not be a good thing for Rhode Island, an independent organization."

"Oh..." After thinking about it, Xia Lan suddenly looked a little annoyed and said with a headache: "It seems that I have to restrain myself a little bit from now on. I can't take everyone to Rhode Island."

"That's right, everyone else was taken to Rhode Island." Kelsey repeated Xia Lan's words without mercy.

After scolding Xia Lan, she sighed, opened the terminal, dug out the visitor identity record data sent by the personnel department staff, and complained: "How come everyone gives you such face and comes as soon as you are invited? I used to find you every time

People need to help but... forget it, that's it."

"Perhaps he can help, but you must pay more attention to this matter. The damage that a super high-risk magician can cause in Rhode Island is too huge." Kelsey finally said.

Xia Lan immediately agreed with relief, deciding that in the future it would be better to take people back to Rhode Island without Kelsi's opinion, and try to take as many ordinary people as possible who may need help.

After walking out of Kelsey's office, he saw the smiling Laurentina and Skadi crunching potato chips at the corner of the corridor. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's go.

, go back to the dormitory and sleep."

"I was scolded by Kelsey~" Laurentina chuckled beside him, full of ridicule.

"I was reprimanded."

Skadi naively repeated it, which made Xia Lan's eyes darken even more. She said angrily: "Okay, okay, don't laugh at me. I'm not doing this for the development of Rhode Island. I definitely won't do it in the future."

It will be so free."

"Hmph~" Laurentina, who had achieved a perfect victory, smiled briskly, took his arm, and softly sang a classic song from Agor, feeling quite happy.

——She has always been so inexplicably happy.

Xia Lan raised her hand and used magic to take out a bunch of potato chips from Skadi's bag, and ate them in big chunks under the pitiful gaze of Skadi, who was stunned. The food was so delicious.

Laurentina moved her eyes towards the potato chips and opened her mouth slightly towards Xia Lan: "Ah——~"

He glanced at Skadi, who was full of reluctance, and thought it was better not to bully poor her anymore, so he reluctantly took out a few of his potato chips and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Are there any snacks in the dormitory?" he asked Skadi.

"Hmm..." Skadi agreed vaguely, moved his fingers covered with potato chip residue, and said, "It doesn't seem like there's much left. I've eaten a little too much in the past two days."

"Then let's go buy snacks. I'll also check to see if there's anything I want to eat." Xia Lan said, stopping and dragging the two of them in the opposite direction.

A moment later, there was the 24-hour convenience store in Lucille.

"Welcome to Kelu Hill Convenience Store~"

Xia Lan opened the door and heard the sound of the medical trolley coming from behind the counter. She immediately became interested and walked up to touch its large, round, white shell.

"What's wrong, Mr. Xia Lan? I'm so embarrassed..." The mechanical pipe of the medical trolley suddenly shook up and down a few times, then it was slightly awkwardly lifted up and placed in Xia Lan's hand, and even the display screen rose.

A faint red glow.

Xia Lan couldn't help but laugh more and more. She suppressed a smile and said, "It's nothing. I just wanted to touch him after I haven't seen him for a long time. There's nothing else."

He noticed someone walking from behind the shelf, and couldn't help but look at each other, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

"Ifrit?" He greeted subconsciously.
