Chapter 497 Not a single hero
"How can anyone remain calm? This is a matter of life and death!" Goldruff frantically paced back and forth, his entire body trembling.
"Director, if you continue to get so excited, your blood flow will increase, which will speed up the spread of the toxin and shorten your lifespan." Da Vinci said with a smile.
"Goldruf's face froze in shock, and he quickly sat down, neither sad nor happy, like an old monk in meditation."
"In any case, summoning someone takes time. Now we can only rely on negotiation to get through this." Holmes exhaled a puff of smoke.
"But didn't Ritsuka's negotiations fail?" Goldruf couldn't help but ask, "Where among us can we find an angel with an angelic smile who can make those people shut up..."
"An angelic smile? Is an angel's smile beautiful?" Zhao Kuangyin looked at the eunuch beside him in confusion: "Let me ask you, is your smile beautiful?"
Angel, God...these words were originally local nouns.
It was those Western missionaries who used these words directly when they came to preach in order to deceive believers.
God originally refers to the Lord of Heaven.
The one in the West is called God, which literally means "God". How is it related to the word "God"?
(So it makes sense for Hong Xiuquan to claim to be the legitimate son of God.)
The word "angel" originally refers to the emperor's messenger...that is, the eunuch who was sent out to deliver messages.
Therefore, it is no wonder that Zhao Kuangyin did not understand these words.
Is a eunuch’s smile beautiful?
"Uh...this..." The eunuch's expression froze.
This question is difficult for him to answer!
Doesn’t he know whether his smile is pretty or not?
Every morning when I look in the mirror, I find myself so ugly!
If he wasn't good at dealing with people and flattering others, he would have been chopped off long ago just because of his ugly face!
Suddenly, an idea struck him: "Your Majesty, I understand! They don't just think my smile is beautiful, they clearly feel your grace through my smile, and that's why they feel joy."
"Oh, so that's how it is, hahaha." Zhao Kuangyin laughed.
As expected, this eunuch is the best at flattering.
…………
"As Goldruff was talking, his eyes fell on Da Vinci, and the same thing happened to the others."
"Yes, if we talk about an angelic smile, it's definitely the 'Mona Lisa's smile'!"
"You know, when this Leonardo da Vinci appeared in the world, he modeled his face after his own 'Mona Lisa's smile.'"
"So, Leonardo was sent out to communicate with the people."
"Faced with Da Vinci's aggrieved expression, the villagers quickly felt a surge of sympathy."
"I see... you're traveling, and you got lost. Thank you for all the hard work."
"Hmm," Da Vinci said, clasping his hands together pitifully. "So we destroyed this farmland accidentally, not with any ill intention. Could you please forgive us?"
"It's okay, the farmland can just be replanted."
“Compared to that, for me, just being able to talk to such a cute little girl, how can I put it, well… it feels like I can get motivated and work hard to cultivate the fields again!”
"Under Da Vinci's cute attack, the villagers were manipulated just like Tom was."
"Oh my! These villagers are really... No matter how cute a little girl is, she can't be eaten! How can it be more important than farmland?"
The old village chief was almost furious when he saw this.
Just because you want to chat with a cute little girl, you even give up your farmland?
People like this deserve to starve to death in times of disaster!
"You can't say that... Forget it, I won't say anything." Wang Shusheng hesitated to speak.
He had originally wanted to make a hellish joke. In a disaster year, a cute little girl could really be eaten...
But thinking too much about hell would probably lead to him getting to the table first.
Still don’t say it.
…………
"Really? Those men were just giggling, so easily fooled by the sweet talk of those outsiders."
"That's right, those guys are definitely suspicious! Even the guards were beaten back!"
"Several peasant women grumbled in dissatisfaction when they saw the men in the village being so bewitched."
"Hmm..." Holmes' eyes lit up, convinced that now was his chance to show off his skills!
"He immediately stepped forward, making full use of his handsome face, and with just a few words, he bewitched the peasant women."
"Really? These peasant women just said something about others, but they are the same."
Ying Yinman snorted disdainfully, turned her eyes away, and then glanced at Holmes in the sky out of the corner of her eye.
So handsome...
No, no, no! I can’t fall in love with someone else.
Ying Yinman shook her head vigorously. Her heart had already been given to Danheng, Yanqing, Jingyuan, Ren, Luosha, Zhouri, Shajin... Well, one more would be fine.
…………
"Having resolved the dispute with the villagers, the group returned to the Shadow Border."
"Leonardo, what happened to the spiritual portrait just now?" Holmes immediately got down to business.
"You're truly a famous detective, noticing this undeniable suspicion!" Da Vinci praised.
"Hmm? Hasn't the Servant summoning issue been resolved?" Goldruf gave a clear, yet foolish look.
“The problem has been eliminated, but it can’t be considered solved because the cause remains a mystery.”
“Honestly, the situation in this Lostbelt is different from both Russia and Northern Europe. I tried to use the spiritual veins of this land to connect to the Throne of Heroes in that Lostbelt… but there was no response!”
"Da Vinci was also troubled."
"What did you say?" Holmes frowned.
"That's like saying that Hall of Valor doesn't exist in this Lostbelt!"
"There's nothing wrong with the instrument itself, so the problem must lie in the structure of this world."
"Although, the likelihood of Heroic Spirits from the Lostbelt actively assisting us is inherently low, so I didn't hold out much hope from the start."
“But it’s still a very strange situation, isn’t it, Holmes?”
"Leonardo looked up at him, and Holmes pondered, considering the possible scenarios."
“So, I immediately abandoned that summoning and switched to summoning from Chaldea’s spirit-based portrait.”
“We are currently waiting for a Heroic Spirit to respond to our summons… Please wait a little longer.”
"Da Vinci explains the current situation."
"I don't quite understand..." Ritsuka said, a little confused. "Does that mean that not a single hero has ever appeared in this Lostbelt?"
