Chapter 556: The Causes and Consequences of "Disappearance"
Chapter 556: The Causes and Consequences of "Disappearance"
Su Mo's answer was obviously too unexpected, shocking the two people opposite him. Jiang Qi Zhang opened his mouth to ask something, but in the end no sound came out.
"Are you surprised? I was also surprised when I left the secret realm and saw the surroundings!"
"But that's the thing. I was able to return from there so quickly, thanks to the teacher I met in that secret realm."
As Su Mo spoke, she took out the photos she had taken there and showed them to the two of them. Jiang Qi Zhang and the other man looked at them in silence.
Jiang Qizhang and the other person had no doubt whether these photos were real or not. Su Mo had neither the skills to fake them nor the motive to deceive them.
Looking at the photos taken from different angles on Su Mo's old phone, Jiang Qizhang and his partner felt complicated and increasingly restless. Who could have imagined this? (●__●)!
The silence lasted for a moment before Jiang Qi Zhang whispered.
"Sure enough, our guess is correct. No, no, the real situation may be even more outrageous than we guessed..."
Su Mo's experience can indeed be regarded as confirming the speculation of those people about the distribution of secret realms. There are secret passages on the three celestial bodies, namely the Blue Planet, the Moon and Jupiter's satellite. There are also countless celestial bodies in the solar system. Maybe not every one of them has it, but most of them definitely have it.
The more Jiang Qizhang thought about it, the more frightened he became. How big would the area of Suzhou on the other side of the passage be? A place like that should be powerful, so how could it be so fragmented?
Will the "reason" that caused the destruction of Suzhou be brought to Blue Star through the channel? Jiang Qizhang is not sure, but he feels cold in his heart...
Deng Ye, who was also shocked, didn't think as much as he did. Deng Ye felt that there was something wrong with what Su Mo said.
"No, no, Su Mo, you said you were able to come back from a place like that so quickly because of your teacher, so how did you get there?"
"Even if it's your flying boat, with the speed of your flying boat that far, nine years wouldn't be enough to stop a single ship, right?"
"Really? President?" Deng Ye's question brought Jiang Qi Zhang's thoughts back from drifting away.
"Yes, how did you get there?" Jiang Qi Zhang then remembered that he had overlooked such an important question.
The two of them stared at Su Mo again, waiting to see what she would say.
Su Mo did not deny that her flying boat was not a flying magical device that excelled in speed, and the association was well aware of this.
When he thought of the reason, the corners of Su Mo's mouth drooped.
"If I say that I was also deceived in the beginning, and I never thought that I would end up there, do you two believe me?"
Jiang Qizhang and the other person: "..."
Jiang Qi Zhang tapped the table with his fingers.
"Explain it."
Thinking of how careless she was at the beginning, Su Mo sighed again. Who could have thought that the Fire Spirit Tribe's one-time teleportation array could be so magical? It could actually support her to the horizon in one go.
Su Mo told them why she went to find Huo Yan, how she negotiated terms with him, how she accidentally ended up at the horizon, and what happened there. She told them all the stories.
As she spoke, she recalled how she was caught off guard when she was first teleported to the Thunder Domain, how she was chased and blocked by the insects and descendants of the big black ball, and how she had to be extremely careful to resist the lightning arcs after finally entering the inner circle. Su Mo's tone inevitably carried some resentment.
Of course, the focus of her story was on how she survived and escaped from the thunder zone, but she didn't go into so much detail about what she gained.
But these words are full of sincerity.
In this matter, Su Mo and Huo Yan each had their own wishes. Neither side wanted this situation to happen, but it happened after all.
The person who was more familiar with the teleportation array was Huo Yan. He did not clearly tell Su Mo that there would be such a big uncertainty, which made Su Mo feel uneasy. If she had not been lucky enough to survive in the Thunder Domain and gain a lot, she would definitely go to Huo Yan to reason.
Jiang Qi Zhang and the other man were also feeling emotional as they listened to Su Mo's story.
If Su Mo hadn't told the story himself, who would have thought that Su Mo's disappearance was actually related to the Fire Spirit Tribe who was still far away in Country A at that time?
"Huo Yan has come to Xia Country several times, but he didn't reveal any information at all. It's really..." Jiang Qi Zhang shook his head and didn't say anything else.
The period of large-scale insect plague outbreak happened to be when Su Mo had just disappeared. At that time, both the college and the association were looking for ways to contact Su Mo, but no one could get in touch with him.
The academy is actually fine. After all, Su Mo has recruited a relatively complete management team, so it can operate even if she is not there.
But the association was very troubled at that time.
Su Mo was originally a role model set up by the government and the association, who wanted her to take the lead in resisting the Zerg invasion, or even better, to stand on the front line of resistance and fight for the Xia Kingdom.
As a result, after a lot of publicity, when Su Mo was needed, he was gone! The insect plague broke out too suddenly, and no one expected it. It is a bit far-fetched to blame Su Mo for it.
But as time went by, the area of insect plague continued to expand, and people were in panic. The association had to withdraw its attention from Su Mo, and the backup Yu Shuyi was pushed to the front to replace Su Mo's role.
From then on, Yu Shuyi, with a red-tailed bird standing on his shoulder, kept appearing on battlefields everywhere.
Facts have proved that Yu Shuyi is indeed strong enough, and he has successfully completed all the tasks assigned by the association.
It’s just that it’s not as easy as Su Mo’s.
"How dare he say that?" Deng Ye said coldly.
"He still counts on Xia Guo to be the backer of his Fire Spirit Clan. How dare he tell us that he lost Principal Su!"
"As expected, those who are not of my race must have different hearts..."
"Minister Deng! Don't say inappropriate words casually." Jiang Qi Zhang interrupted seriously.
He glanced at Su Mo. Su Mo's teacher Suzhou was still outside helping them burn insect eggs. How could Deng Ye say such absolute things?
Seeing that the other party had put away the "complaining" expression just now and was now just indifferent, Jiang Qizhang said, "Minister Deng, you are right. Huo Yan should really not dare to say it."
"In fact, even if he said it, there's nothing we can do." Jiang Qi Zhang sighed.
Su Mo nodded in agreement, and considering what she had gained from the Thunder Domain, she explained on behalf of Huo Yan.
"I think Huoyan himself may not know where I was teleported to."
Deng Ye, who had just been stopped by Jiang Qi Zhang, kept silent.
Only a small part of his dissatisfaction was because of Su Mo, but more of it was because of the Fire Spirit Tribe's insincerity towards Xia Country. He could not tolerate the Fire Spirit Tribe wanting Xia Country's protection but still hiding things from Xia Country. But if Huo Yan himself only knew the beginning and not the follow-up, he really couldn't say anything more.
Now that Su Mo, the "victim", has spoken up to explain, everyone has calmed down.
Jiang Qi Zhang had something more concerning that he wanted to know, so he asked, "Have you completed the negotiation with Huo Yan, Xiao Su?"
It was only today that they learned from Su Mo that the main material of the Mind-Concentrating Pearl was the Fire Spirit Clan's Xuanling Stone.
The Mind-Concentrating Beads produced by the academy were only released twice, and the quantities were not large at that time. After that, they were out of stock. However, Jiang Qi Zhang was the president of the association, so of course he knew about it and had seen the real thing.
There is no awakener who does not want such a good auxiliary magic weapon, but as the awakener's level increases, the capabilities of the initial batch of mind-concentrating beads gradually fail to keep up, and even gradually disappear.
When the first Mind-Concentrating Bead shattered, everyone realized that this auxiliary magical weapon was actually a consumable, and up to now, that batch of Mind-Concentrating Beads have been "all killed".
Su Mo nodded. The Five Elements Spiritual Essence could not be concealed.
“It took a lot of effort, but I finally got some back.”
She will be making a deal with Huo Yan afterwards, and there is no way the association would not know about it once the Mind-Concentrating Pearl appears.
Meeting Jiang Qi Zhang's slightly shining eyes, Su Mo waved his hand and refused.
"The Five Elements Spirit Essence is a special treasure that can only be kept in the bottle Huo Yan gave me. If it is exposed to the outside, it will dissipate and it is not easy to take it out for viewing."
Jiang Qi Zhang actually wanted to place an order. Since he knew that a new batch of Mind-Concentrating Beads would be refined soon, he naturally wanted to act first.
He was not embarrassed by being misunderstood by Su Mo, and said, "It doesn't matter whether you look at it or not, as long as you can get the things. Later, Xiao Su, when you have exchanged enough materials with the Fire Spirit Tribe, you must leave some of the produced Mind Concentrating Pearls for the association."
