"Is the king of the strange duck family missing?" Leo muttered to himself while sitting in his office.
After a while, Leo stood up: "Stim, inform everyone that the rest is over, and gather in the steel hall."
……
Under the leadership of Calderin and Wei Luo, thousands of strange ducks flew quickly in the direction of the Marvel base.
But when Calderin arrived near his destination, he circled the sky several times, but he couldn't see any buildings on the ground.
"Kaldrin, what's going on? What about the Terran base you said?" The elder named Luo Lin fluttered his wings and asked in confusion.
"I don't know either. The base is obviously near here. It's very big. I only saw it not long ago..." Calderin blushed with anxiety.
Wei Luo quickly flew over to help: "Elder, Calderin didn't lie. He and I really saw a huge human base here. You have to believe him."
Just when Calderin and Wei Luo didn't know how to explain themselves, suddenly, a sudden change occurred.
There was originally a lush forest under the feet of the strange ducks, which looked exactly like normal trees.
But at this moment, the forest suddenly became illusory, as if there was a translucent light film covering it.
The light film quickly dissipated, gradually revealing the neatly high and low buildings underneath.
"Human base," Calderin pointed at his feet and shouted excitedly, "Look, elder, Terran base, I'm not lying."
Elder Luo Lin nodded, a tuft of hair on the top of his head was raised high, which made him look serious.
The light film quickly dissipated, and the Marvel Legion emerged from its stealth state. At the same time, the door of the Marvel Legion opened automatically, and the electronic synthesis sound immediately sounded: "Quack, quack, quack~ (strange duck language
Translated into human language, it is: Friends of the strange duck family, please come in and talk.
Elder Rollin quickly and other elders summed it up, and finally Elder Rollin chose a dozen strange ducks with more beautiful feathers as guards (including Calderin), and entered the Marvel Legion base together.
The other strange ducks landed around the base one after another, in the shape of a sweeping formation.
……
In the metallic hall, Leo and a group of senior legion members took their seats and looked out the door.
More than a dozen ducks wriggled their plump buttocks into the hall, looking around, looking like curious babies.
"Please take a seat," Leo's loud voice echoed in the metal hall.
As his voice sounded, the nanoparticles outlined, and soon more than a dozen seats shaped like cradles took shape. The number was not much or not. The duck essence that came in happened to be one per person.
Elder Luo Lin made a "quack", and more than a dozen strange ducks took their seats. After sitting, they twisted their buttocks, looking very comfortable.
However, the chairs under the strange ducks' butts were deliberately arranged by Leo in a triangular shape.
According to common sense, only the most prestigious members of the strange duck family are qualified to sit at the front.
In fact, Leo did know the strange duck sitting at the front, and he could detect a lot of secrets through drone surveillance just now.
For example, the duck sitting at the front of the triangular seat is named Luo Lin. He is the elder of the strange duck clan, and he has quite a voice in the clan.
Thinking of this, Leo looked at Elder Rollin who was sitting at the front and pretended to know nothing: "You are the one who talks about the strange duck family? My name is Leo Erwin, and I belong to the Marvel Legion. Captain, the master of Io, the supreme **** of Midgard, it is a pleasure to meet you, a friend from the strange duck family."
Elder Rollin was frightened by Leo's series of titles. Although he didn't know the true meaning of those titles, the words "Captain, Master, Supreme God" sounded very bluffing.
After a long time, Elder Luo Lin came back to his senses: "My name is Luo Lin, I am the elder of the strange duck clan, a friend of the human race, hello."
Leo nodded calmly.
Bucky immediately sang his face according to the arranged script: "You are the elder of the strange duck clan? Elder Qu Qu, where is the qualification to talk to our head?!"
Without waiting for Rollin to answer, Bucky continued to scold him loudly, "Let your king come!"
Although the temporary plan made by Leo and Bucky is very simple and secondary, it is just right to deal with this group of ducks who have never seen the world.
Rollin was frightened by Bucky's loud voice, and thought to himself: The performance of this human race is different from what Calderin described just now, how can there be any kindness? !
Subconsciously, Rollin turned to look at Calderin.
"Gah~"
Calderin spread his wings and cried out in embarrassment, he didn't understand what was going on.
Elder Rollin had eaten rock moths for decades more than Calderin, and a pile of stones condensed with fiery rock essence in his stomach seemed more stable and more likely to lie.
He made a strange cry, similar to a human cough: "You don't know anything about the head of the team. In fact, there is no king in our strange duck clan. Our clan implements the eldership system, and many elders jointly decide the affairs..."
"Bullshit!" Leo directly broke through his lie, "I heard it just now, your 'king' has disappeared, and you still want to lie to me, don't you?!"
As Leo's voice fell, Stim controlled the holographic projection particles to fly out, playing the images and sounds of the gathering of the strange duck clan just now.
Rollin: "..."
You said you overheard it, why are you talking so much nonsense!
Now that Leo already has so much information, Elder Rollin stopped lying. He spread his wings quite as a bachelor: "Captain, just say it directly, what do you want?"
The corners of Leo's mouth slowly curved up.
Luo Lin's tone and actions are already an attitude of being slaughtered by others. As long as Leo's next request is not too excessive, Luo Lin can accept it.
So, Leo and Luo Lin began to communicate in detail (cliché), and then invited several other elders of the strange duck clan to join the legion base and continue to communicate (cliché).
Finally, Leo knew the past of the strange duck family.
There is only one intelligent race on Aiou, the strange duck. Because of their unique life form and long lifespan, and they have no natural enemies, they have been slow to adopt technology despite their wisdom, language, and unique racial talent. The path of civilization or magical civilization.
This is the conventional evolutionary history of the salty fish species lacking pressure and motivation.
The long years that they could not record have passed, and the strange ducks are still living a primitive tribe life where they can find a hole as a nest.
But despite this, they still lived happily and contentedly, but 103 years ago, an accident changed their way of life.
In that incident, not only did they lose their only king, but they were also forced to change from the amphibious way of life in the core and surface of the earth to a cowardly duck who only dared to live in the core.
They only come to the surface for food when there is a rock tide every 15 years.
As for what happened 103 years ago, Leo finally didn't find out why from the mouths of the strange ducks.
I only know that something terrible happened to Io star back then. It was suspected that there were extremely powerful creatures fighting, which led to spatial dislocation.
Their king and a lot of strange duck people unfortunately fell into the chaotic space and disappeared, and the surviving strange ducks were so frightened that they only dared to hide in the core of the earth.
The king of the strange duck is not dead, and I don’t know how the elders of the strange duck are sure (they don’t want to say whether they live or die). Leo guessed that maybe there are spells such as the “king” soul lamp or the like in the core of the earth. magic weapon.
The old king is not dead, and the new king should not stand.
The entire strange duck clan follows this tradition and has been waiting for their king to return.
After listening to it, Leo commented that it was a "boring story that can sing and cry".
Later, Leo exposed the matter and began to discuss with the strange duck family how to "peacefully coexist" in the future.
The discussion went very smoothly. Leo showed a little bit about his methods and knowledge of the universe and starry sky, and then expressed the idea that the Marvel Legion would be permanently stationed in Aioux and would be willing to provide safe shelter for the strange duck family. All the clansmen raised their hands, feet and wings to express their approval.
They have been afraid for too long and urgently need a sense of security.
And just as Leo had guessed originally, the surface is so unbearable, who wants to live underground!
The strange ducks live much more comfortably on the surface than underground.
Of course, Leo didn't provide shelter for the strange duck family, and it wasn't for free.
The strange duck clan provided Leo with a unique material - the essence of fire rock.
This is a special material catalyzed by the flaming rock essence accumulated after the strange duck clan devoured rock insects or rock moths, supplemented by the unique protein in the strange duck.
Leo has tested it and found that this material has extremely superior properties, excellent magical conductivity and ductility.
Whether it is used as a material or material for spell casting on the magic side, or used to make unique devices on the technology side, it is a rare treasure.
In this way, the strange duck clan used the essence of fire rock as the reward (baohufei) for Leopie (ya) to protect (zha) the strange duck clan.
Several elders such as Luo Lin and the Marvel Legion represented by Leo formally reached a strategic cooperation. Leo successfully gained a large number of subordinates and labor without spending money, which is simply delightful.
Leo, who was in a good mood, simply made a big pot of noodles and beer to entertain all the duck spirits.
Seeing the duck spirits bowing their heads and being "bald" in the bowl and cup in front of him, Leo was also very happy: "This circle of strange ducks is really easy to feed."
The strange duck was full of food and drink, his mind was slightly drunk, and his mood was at ease.
A few elders casually summed up with the spirit of wine, and found Leo in the office again.
"Captain, we have something to ask for." Luo Lin took the initiative to speak.
Leo looked at the duck a few times before the table was tall: "What's the matter?"
"After listening to your common sense of the universe, we have a bold idea," Luo Lin was beaming with rosy cheeks, "I would like to ask you to help us find our king."
