The oval stone is placed horizontally on the table, the long semi-axis is about forty centimeters, the white in the middle is dull, and the edge is transparent.
After An Jin asked the question, everyone's eyes in the room fell on the stone.
An expert replied: "It was salvaged and wrapped in the roots of the tree together with the black stone."
At this time, Qiao Ya walked in from the outside wet, holding an oval stone in each hand, both with a dull white in the middle and transparent colors around.
After bowing to An Jin, he said, "This is found in the mud next to the roots of the tree, and there are a few more."
After a while, several soldiers came in one after another, all sending stones.
Counting the stones on the table and the stones that Joa sent in, there were nine in total, and the last one was almost completely transparent with cracks on the edges.
An Jin's eyes were full of surprise. He was almost certain that these oval stones were animal cores.
To be precise, it is the beast core whose energy is about to run out.
Every time he absorbs the energy of the beast core, the beast core will gradually become dim, and after it is completely absorbed, the beast core will become transparent.
The expert took the instrument to test and said in surprise: "There are energy fluctuations."
An Jin stepped forward and raised his hand to touch the stone, but before he touched it, Norman grabbed his wrist.
Norman disapproved: "Unknown substance, don't touch it."
Jollens also said: "Although no radiation was detected, there may be other dangers."
The expert put on isolation gloves and took out the isolation box: "Wang, I will immediately take it back to the laboratory for a comprehensive test, and I will send it to you after confirming that there is no harm."
First Elder: "So you like transparent stones? I'll have someone send a cart of natural crystals to the palace."
An Jin: "... No, I probably know what it is, there is no danger."
The experts looked at him in surprise: "You know what?"
An Jin nodded, seeing their surprised expressions, but felt strange instead.
The beast nucleus varies in appearance due to the different species of star beasts. Norman has never seen Rabe's beast nucleus normal, but the experts are locals of Rabe.
He asked, "Have you not met?"
Several people shook their heads in unison.
An Jin didn't give a shit, and took out a white animal core from the space. The appearance of the animal core was a milky white sphere. At first glance, it looked a bit like a pearl, but it was much larger than a pearl, and An Jin barely held it with both hands.
He ran his supernatural powers, absorbing the energy of the beast core, and the white edge of the beast core became dim to the naked eye.
His spiritual sea is very full, and there is not too much waste. If the appearance of the beast core changes, it will no longer be absorbed.
"This is the beast core." He glanced at the beast core on his hand, and then at the oval stone on the table, "Those should be too, but there is only a little energy left."
The experts were extremely surprised. After carefully looking at the changes in the beast core, they looked at the energy display on the instrument: "It really looks like a beast core."
"I have seen all the sea beast cores in Rabe, and I have never seen such beast cores!"
"Does it belong to an unknown creature?"
"Inferring from the size of the beast's nucleus, the size of the sea beast will not be small, and it is impossible not to be discovered."
Seeing the lively discussion among the experts, the Great Elder thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it is an extinct sea beast, they are buried deep underground, obviously many years ago."
"It makes sense!"
An Jin turned his head and asked Norman, "Will the energy of the wild animal core gradually disappear?"
Norman: "No, the beast core is one of the daily energy sources of Siao, and a large part of it comes from the primitive forest in the resource star. The search team found the beast core a long time ago, and it is full of energy."
An expert nodded in agreement: "Beast nuclear energy will not be consumed naturally."
Joya pointed to the stones on the table: "Then what happened to them?"
"Maybe it's just similar to the beast core?"
An Jin said, "I can confirm it by touching it."
Norman said solemnly, "Wear gloves."
Knowing that he was worried, An Jin nodded obediently: "Okay."
He put the beast core back into the space, asked the expert to borrow a pair of gloves, put them on, and touched the stone. He activated his supernatural power and immediately felt the familiar energy.
He absorbed it a little bit, and seeing that the white color was even darker, he moved his hand away, his tone affirmed: "It's a beast core."
Experts couldn't help but discuss: "Where did their energy go?"
"Could it have something to do with Blackstone?"
"Do the experiment now!"
The experts were strong in action, and quickly took an oval stone and placed it next to the black stone, turned on the instrument to scan, and observed the energy change of the stone in real time.
Everyone was staring at the screen, and after ten minutes, nothing had changed.
"Maybe it's too short."
"It may take a long time to observe the results."
An Jin's eyes fell on the black stone. The black stone was very dark. Just looking at it made him feel very uncomfortable.
He ran his supernatural powers, and a stream of water was attached to the black stone, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the black stone did not change at all.
He frowned, the black stone itself is harder to remove than the impurities in the plant!
The screen that the elder was looking at, his brain shook, he connected, and after hearing the words on the other side, he directly released the video.
"Elder, I found another black stone. It was 32 meters from the bottom of the water. It was entangled by tree roots. In addition to the black stone, a sea beast core was also found in the root.
The first elder heard the words and said solemnly, "Keep the black stone properly."
An Jin looked at the beast core that was placed with Black Stone, and then glanced at the unchanged panel, his heart moved: "Perhaps, the energy of the beast core was absorbed by the holy tree?"
The room was quiet for a moment, and an expert echoed: "What Wang said makes sense. Near the beast core, in addition to the black stone, there are also the roots of the sacred tree!"
An Jin immediately said, "I'll go into the water to verify!"
Jollens said quickly: "Wang doesn't have to go in person, Qiao Ya can go, he will broadcast the whole process."
Joya nodded in agreement immediately.
An Jin shook his head: "I want to verify it myself."
He can only see the impurities at the scene. If he sees the holy tree through the video, he will see the holy tree as green.
Seeing his insistence, Jollens did not persuade him any more, but just followed the guards closely.
An Jin jumped into the water, and when he hit the water, his feet turned into tails. He turned his head and smiled at Norman, and went downstream.
The water was quite deep, and An Jin swam for a while before reaching the bottom. The mermaid of the military surrounded the key area at the bottom of the pool, and released him immediately after seeing him and Qorance.
Looking at the clear water, An Jin was a little surprised. After digging such a big black stone, how come the water is not turbid
It was only after Jollens explained that he realized that what the soldier was holding was not a weapon, but a cleaning instrument.
The water is clear and it is very convenient to do things. He looked at the big hole not far away, and there were some broken tree roots scattered outside the hole, as well as unbroken tree roots that were brought to the bottom of the water.
He swam over, and a middle-aged mermaid saluted. An Jin learned from his introduction that he was Rabe's botanist.
"Don't worry, Wang, the sacred tree has a lot of roots. When we took the stones, we adopted the plan that did the least damage, and it had no effect on the sacred tree."
An Jin nodded: "It's hard work."
He took out the previous white animal core and placed it at the healthy root.
Three minutes later, the black roots in his eyes faded, and the surface gradually turned yellowish.
At the same time, the color of the white animal core was slightly dimmed.
An Jin put his hand on the beast core, turned his supernatural powers, and felt the energy of the beast core.
He clearly felt that the energy of the beast core was gradually decreasing.
Looking at the less and less black roots, his eyes gradually brightened.
The beast nuclear energy was really absorbed by the holy tree!
And after the holy tree absorbs the energy, it removes the impurities!
Since there is no black stone near the root system, the roots of the tree are no longer contaminated.
An Jin was so happy that he swam out of the water and saw Norman waiting for him on the shore, reaching out to him.
He put his hand on Norman's hand, his tail turned into his legs, and he went ashore with Norman's force, and then removed the water from his body.
Norman undid his messy hair, patiently gathered it up, and tied it again.
Back in the temporary office, An Jin told his findings, his blue eyes were very bright: "As long as all the black stones are found, and then enough beast cores are placed in the root position, the sacred tree should recover by itself."
The eyes of the great elders and experts immediately burst out with extremely bright rays of light.
First Elder: "I will immediately contact the military department, intensify efforts to investigate Blackstone, and then ask the logistics department to buy a batch of measuring instruments and animal cores from Si Ao."
Jollens: "I'm going to check the stock of animal cores in the warehouse!"
Norman said at this time: "I will directly ask the military to send the measuring instrument and animal core you need."
Jollens said cautiously: "Thank you," he added, "Rabe will pay the equivalent."
Norman: "No need."
Jollens said solemnly: "I can't take advantage of Siao, we are not selling the king to you."
Norman: "..." He pondered and said, "I hope to change the way of payment."
Jollens was surprised: "What?"
Norman: "How to extract the energy that can remove impurities from the beast core, the Soo Research Institute has not made progress, and the Holy Tree can do it, I think maybe we can find a breakthrough point from the Holy Tree."
"I hope that Rabexing agrees to send a research team to the Sacred Tree to study the Sacred Tree. Of course, we promise not to hurt the Sacred Tree."
Jollens tilted his head to discuss with the elder, and finally nodded: "Yes, there should be no more than 20 members of the group. If there is any action that hurts the sacred tree, the agreement will be void."
Norman nodded solemnly: "Yes."
Rabexing quickly got busy, looking for and salvaging black stones and collecting beast cores.
An Jin took the mermaid to the Holy Land in batches according to the plan.
The pollution of the holy tree is too serious. He is not sure when the holy tree will recover, so he gives priority to helping the mermaid who decided to leave Rabe star to split his legs.
A week later, the military department salvaged all the black stones found. The further back, the smaller the black stones, less than the size of two fists.
An Jin came back from the Holy Land, sat on the sofa and chatted with Xiao Yin, and received a report from Qorence.
"All salvage channels are reserved for placing animal cores. To be cautious, Rabe Star will be fully explored again in the next week."
"In case the beast core is not enough, the Rabe military department and the Siao military department have negotiated cooperation. We will send troops to the sixth defense area of Siao today to assist in the guard work. The star beasts killed will return to Rabe. ."
After reading the information, An Jin politely praised Rabexing's efficiency and added 'hard work'.
Jollens insisted on reporting important things to him. Every time he read it, he didn’t know what to reply, and he felt rude if he didn’t reply, so every time he said it was hard work.
Fortunately, Jollens seems to like this reply.
He leaned against the sofa, rested his elbows on the armrests of the sofa and supported his cheeks, and his eyes fell to the door.
The housekeeper lives with the helpers, receiving the dresses, jewelry and other things needed for the wedding from everywhere.
Watching the maid deliver the dress to the fitting room, he felt tired thinking that he had to try so many clothes.
Norman walked in from the door, reached out and touched his face: "Tired?"
An Jin shook his head, his eyes fell on his straight military uniform, he suddenly became energetic, sat up straight and said, "You also have to wear Rabe's clothes at the wedding."
Norman: "Well, Jorence greeted me when he was in Soo, and asked the palace dresser about my body data."
Seeing that he was ready, An Jin said, "Let's try it."
Norman put his hands on his shoulders, leaned over and looked at him: "Want to see me wearing a Rabe dress?"
An Jin nodded, Norman touched his earlobe, thought of something dark in his eyes, and held his hand: "Change together."
When the two of them got to the changing room, they saw rows of tall hangers against the wall. They were covered with robes and dresses of various colors. Every piece of fabric was slightly reflective, which was particularly gorgeous.
An Jin asked Norman which one he liked. Norman chose two peacock blue dresses, took them in his hands, and took the boy into the cubicle.
This is not what An Jin thought.
He stammered and took the small one: "I, I'll change it next door."
Norman hugged him and didn't let him go: "I can't wear Rabe's clothes, you teach me."
An Jin looked up at him: "Liar."
He often wears Rabe's clothes, and Norman is skilled in taking off his clothes at night or dressing him in the morning.
Norman chuckled, lowered his head and kissed his lips: "I'll go next door."
An Jin looked at his back and pursed his lips.
The two of them have done the most intimate things, and the wedding will be held in half a month. He seems to be too generous.
He thought for a while, put on his dress, and looked down.
It feels a bit like the ancient men's clothing before, but it's not as complicated, one piece, but the texture of the fabric is great and it looks gorgeous.
He walked out of the cubicle and saw Norman standing outside, surprise flashed in his eyes.
The peacock blue robe is a cross-collar style. Norman is tall and fully supports the clothes. The V-neck formed by the overlapping of the placket reveals his wheat-colored collarbone and strong chest. strength.
Norman looked at the boy, his frown slightly loosened, but fortunately, the style of the boy was similar to his but not the same, only the collarbone was exposed when the collars were overlapped.
Soon, he frowned again, and the belt pinched the boy's waist very thin, very provocative.
An Jin reached out and nodded his eyebrows: "Don't you like it? It suits you very well, very handsome."
Norman hugged him and put his palm on his waist: "You are too eye-catching."
An Jin only wore this one, and immediately felt the heat of his palm around his waist, noticed his hand moving down, and quickly grabbed it: "The housekeeper and the others will come in."
Norman whispered in his ear, "You're wearing the wrong thing."
An Jin was stunned for a moment, and felt that the waistband of his underwear was gently pulled down and put back by his hand.
An Jin blushed, Rabe's clothes did not have panties.
He put his hand on Norman's chest, looked down at his stomach subconsciously, and said in a surprised tone, "You didn't..."
Before he could finish his question, Norman picked him up, and he let out a soft whistle.
Norman took him out and went to the bedroom: "You find the answer yourself."
long after
An Jin lay on Norman's body, panting lightly, and poked his fingers on Norman's shoulder: "You used to be very serious."
Norman's hand lingered on his smooth back: "Now, too," after a pause, "I can't help it because I like An An too much."
An Jin was silent for a moment and whispered, "I like Norman very much too."
With a flick of his gaze, he had already changed positions, with his back on the bed, and looked at Norman above him, and it was easy to see the joy in Norman's eyes.
An Jin couldn't help but think, would he let Norman down because of his shyness
He held back his shyness, wrapped his arms around Norman's neck, and said earnestly, "I will try my best to learn from you and express my feelings calmly."
Norman kissed his cheek: "An An is fine now."
·
The next day, An Jin returned to the palace from the Holy Land, and the housekeeper reported that Principal Xinbei was looking for him.
He was a little surprised and met the principal in the reception room.
The principal is a middle-aged Teck mermaid with a very gentle temper. When he speaks, he speaks in a calm and unhurried tone, straight to the point: "Wang, I want to discuss with you about the blind date."
An Jin was stunned, and Norman frowned slightly.
The principal smiled at Norman: "The husband misunderstood, I was talking about the students participating in the blind date."
He looked at An Jin: "The students come from all over the Star Alliance, and no one can manage them in a unified way except you."
"Ninety percent of the students are adults, but almost all of them are single, which is unbelievable in Rabe. After all, if you are single, even if you are successfully differentiated, you will not be able to change your form freely, which will have a great impact on your future career choices. "
The principal said: "I also know that they have bad memories in the past, and in addition to falling in love at first sight, a partner's relationship needs to accumulate memory. I can understand that they have been single all the time, but now their memory has recovered and they can find a partner."
An Jin: "...you want me to persuade them to participate in a blind date?"
The principal nodded.
An Jin thought for a while and said, "You explain the situation to them, and they will participate if they want. I don't want to interfere."
The principal said helplessly: "They are very vigilant, and they seem to be worried that we will force them to match them randomly, so I would like to ask you to help explain."
An Jin immediately understood that the mermaids should be thinking about the black market.
And the mermaid can remember, it must be in the memo.
He asked the principal about the blind date.
The principal said: "Each city in Rabe Star has such activities every month. Choose a place or attraction, invite single mermaids to go there, and give single mermaids the opportunity to meet their peers, with complete freedom."
The principal also posted several couples diaries, all of which were facilitated by previous blind date meetings. The diaries described the blind date meetings from the perspective of the participants.
An Jin searched Labeixing.com and found that there are many partners who meet on a blind date.
Principal: "All single mermaids can participate in the blind date, so it is easy for mermaids to find a partner. After the development of technology, the social circle of mermaids has narrowed, and the blind date is also to expand the social circle of mermaids."
An Jin finally helped the principal announce the news, introduced the blind date in detail, and explained the voluntary principle.
The group of mermaids suddenly became lively.
An Jin watched silently, and found that many mermaids knew that there was no danger, and that they were looking forward to the free mode, and they were discussing the dream fish enthusiastically.
An Jin found that these were almost all mermaids who decided to stay in Rabe Star.
After that, Anjin doesn't need to manage the process, and the principal arranges the teacher to handle it.
To An Jin's surprise, Xiaoyin actually wanted to participate.
Three days later, An Jin received a message from Bubble: "An An, Xiaoyin fought a mermaid at a blind date and was arrested by the police station."
An Jin: "… "
