Chapter 496: The world of Liu Yonglu and the donkey (4k+)

Wow, you are really planning to make a sun chariot!

Before coming here, Donkey actually had his own guesses about how Liu Yonglu would deal with the trap he had set for him. There were only two possible reactions. The first was to just ignore it and let Kurt fight as he pleased. I would continue to explore my Lost Sea.

The second option is to actively prepare for war, join the Mosesad people in fighting for Kurt, and snatch the stone slab from Zahir.

And to make… the Sun Chariot, do you have the ability to do it?
The donkey looked at Liu Yonglu in confusion, then swept the ground again, but didn’t see the stone slab. How could you make a sun chariot without the stone slab of Uposas?
The things happening in the southern continent and the mystery of the stone slab were not new to Donkey. Like Ling’er, he didn’t think much of these things.

But it didn’t stop the donkey from wondering, this is really interesting, my preacher on earth is going to have to build a solar chariot?

“You are just fooling around! Don’t get involved if you don’t know anything about it. It’s a sign of mental illness if you try to find out!”

“Snapped!”

Seeing the donkey looking sneaky, Liu Yonglu felt uncomfortable. It happened that the newly made fan had not been used yet, so Liu Yonglu suddenly hit the donkey on the back of the head with the fan!

“You dare to hit me!”

The donkey’s mind was full of the matter of the Sun Chariot, and he didn’t notice that Liu Yonglu hit him hard. The donkey covered the back of his head and looked at the guy in front of him in surprise.

This is outrageous! The preacher on earth dared to use the ancient relic given to him by the Father God to hit his Father God!

“What’s wrong with hitting you? Hitting you is too light a punishment!”

Liu Yonglu was showing off his power, fanning himself in his hand, thinking, Prince Herama has to speak softly in front of me, who do you think you are? How dare you glare at me!

“Yes, yes, Mr. Rich is right.”

The donkey remembered that he was still playing Ferhat at that time, and he had to smile even when he was beaten. But he had already made up his mind, good boy, I will remember this now, and I will wait for you to join my army and see how I will discipline you.

“It’s too late today, let’s take a rest first. We will gather at the yard early tomorrow morning. We will get the gold first and buy the materials later!”

Liu Yonglu waved his hand and went back to the house to sleep. As for the donkey, he stood there and looked carefully at the parts that Millie Tang had prepared on the ground.

It is indeed related to the Sun Chariot, but a few things are wrong, and the stone slab is missing… According to Donkey’s speculation, it will not be possible to continue like this.

Then I looked up at the direction where Liu Yonglu disappeared. Did he do it on purpose? Or was it an accident?

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Lu Lao went to the courtyard to meet Liu Yonglu. Millie Tang was called away by Yasmine today. It seemed that her sisters were preparing things for their wedding and asked her to choose clothes. Before leaving, Millie Tang left Liu Yonglu a list with the necessary materials.

This means that Liu Yonglu is left alone to play with the donkey today.

“Mr. Rich, what are we buying today?”

After getting the gold, the two guys came out of Prince Herama’s Emir’s Palace, and the donkey turned his head to ask Liu Yonglu.

“Tsk, let’s start with Black Pearl. Go ask.”

The city of Oia not only has underground secret markets, but also a few open bookstores that have a purple alchemy cauldron logo painted on their signs. When the occult scholars passing by see this logo, they know that materials related to forbidden spells can be bought inside.

However, compared to the mysterious underground market, the materials in the bookstore are slightly more expensive and the variety is smaller. Of course, in return, the source of the materials is clean and the probability of buying fakes is relatively low.

“Okay, then I’ll negotiate.”

Walking into a shop, the donkey took a step forward and was ready to ask the price.

“Come back, will you buy the black pearl?”

“Is there any mystic scholar who doesn’t know the black pearl?”

Lu Jian really wanted to beat Liu Yonglu up, thinking he was a fool.

“Nonsense! You’ll buy it? Do you know the black pearl that made the ‘Chariot of the Sun’?”

“I don’t know that.”

The donkey crossed his arms, he also wanted to hear Liu Yonglu’s opinion.

“Still! You won’t listen. Let me tell you, look at that bucket of black pearls on the counter! Don’t buy that!”

“If not that one, which one should I buy?”

The donkey was wondering, this kind of black pearl is needed to make the Sun Chariot. He had read that crappy book hundreds of years ago, and he knew more about its contents than Liu Yonglu!
“That one won’t do. It’s too small and not tasty enough. Buy that one. It’s bigger!”

Liu Yonglu pointed with his finger and saw a box of clam pearls next to the black pearls on the counter. They were the size of a child’s fist, but they were not black, but milky white.

“Mr. Ricky, those are clam pearls, not black pearls, and the color is wrong!”

Liu Yonglu raised his fan and pretended to hit the donkey, but the donkey quickly covered its head and dodged to the side.

“You are a special envoy? You are also a special envoy to me? Let me tell you, to make the sun chariot, you need to use that thing…”

“Clam beads.”

“Yes, clam pearl, even though it looks white, the environment it grows in is dark.

As a mystic scholar studying the forbidden knowledge of gods, the most taboo thing is to take the words literally and pretend to know something when you don’t! Let me tell you, next time someone asks you what a black pearl is…”

Liu Yonglu’s fan was hanging on the donkey’s head again.

“Black pearls come from the dark environment in which they grow.”

“That’s right, the darker the better! The seabed is thousands of meters deep, and the car built there would be more interesting!”

Seeing that the donkey answered honestly, Liu Yonglu took the fan away. Why did he buy clam pearls instead of black pearls?

Because Liu Yonglu saw the price tag! Black pearls are expensive! Clam pearls are cheap!

Anyway, it’s just to fool Prince Helama, so why make it so good? Just make do with it, and use the remaining money to open a branch of Tianying Restaurant!

The boss who was in charge of selling goods behind the counter of the bookstore was dumbfounded. He didn’t dare to laugh or argue, because the emblem of Hera’s personal guards was hung on the donkey’s clothes. How could he offend this man?
Anyway, just buy the clam pearls! Quickly pack a few for the donkey and pick up the big ones!

The two of them strolled around for a whole day and bought a lot of things. They returned to the Liushui Courtyard at almost dusk. When they entered the courtyard, they saw that Millie Tang had not come back yet. Liu Yonglu went to the kitchen to cook two dishes and sent them to Lin Bei first. When he came back, he saw that Lu was still standing in the yard, staring at the ingredients on the ground in a daze.

“Why don’t you leave?”

“Mr. Balkan asked me to assist you every step of the way.”

Balkan did instruct so, and the donkey really wanted to watch the fun.

“Okay, let’s eat something together… Can you eat with this mouth of yours?”

The two of them went out to play for a day, and Liu Yonglu’s impression of this “Ferhat” changed a lot. Although this guy was dressed strangely and spoke in an unpleasant way, at least his attitude was good and he was willing to learn from him!
Just admit your mistakes and learn. It’s still worth saving. Liu Yonglu was not shy. He put a pair of knife and fork in front of the donkey and the two of them sat in the yard to eat!

I made stewed mutton today! Liu Yonglu has also discovered in the past few days that the mutton in Kurt is good except for the mutton! The meat is fresh and has a moderate smell. It has the unique milky aroma of mutton, but it is not too strong. It is just right for stewing.

Tonight we have lamb stewed with radish and tomato salad!
As they ate and drank, Liu Yonglu sang. What was he singing? Monk Mulian saved his mother!
He remembered the couplets, mutton and radish, Yue Fei and radish, and Fu Luobo – a loyal minister and a filial son! Oh! He started to mutter as he pondered in his mind. The donkey had never heard of this before, and his eyes were wide open. He thought, this person is really the preacher made for me. In the past, I had to use some tricks to make people crazy, but this person doesn’t need me to use tricks, he just drank mutton soup and started to get excited! What are you talking about! None of them make sense!

After dinner, Liu Yonglu started to study the materials he had bought. Anyway, he had no intention of actually making the Sun Chariot for Heramar to use, so he didn’t need to trouble his wife and could just do it himself.

Liu Yonglu sat cross-legged on the ground and assembled the machine with a loud clacking sound. Donkey stood behind him, bent over and studying it with a frown on his face.

Four conditions need to be met to make the Sun Chariot.

First and foremost, the most important thing is the stone slab, which is the core of the formation and cannot be missing.

Second, there are other auxiliary materials, including many precious and rare ritual materials.

Third, there are requirements for the structural order of assembly, but I have also read that ancient book, and the record on it is not very clear, because the person who wrote the book at the time did not intend for future generations to replicate it.

Fourth, it takes a god of sufficiently high status to use great power to awaken it. If you give a ready-made solar chariot to a mystic, he won’t be able to use it.

And what he, a preacher on earth, was doing at this moment… was just like the things he had been muttering while eating just now, it had nothing to do with anything at all and it could be said that it had nothing to do with the Sun Chariot!
Will this work?

The donkey circled around Liu Yonglu, and he thought of a possibility. Could it be that this preacher on earth knew that the work could not be done without the stone slab, so he was deliberately making some kind of improvement?
Because there is no slate, the black pearls have to be replaced with clam pearls, and because there is no slate, the clam pearls have to be tied to the oak…

Following this line of thought, Donkey actually started studying it by himself.

“You, come over and give me a hand!”

While he was thinking about it, Liu Yonglu called on the donkey for help. At this time, Liu Yonglu had forcibly glued the materials on the ground into… the outline of a small car, which was the kind of small car that Liu Yonglu often rode in his previous life.

Of course, it is rather crude, but the general shape is four wheels with a cover on top.

Liu Yonglu handed the donkey a small cylinder, which was the finished product of tying the clam beads to the cylindrical oak stake:
“Help me glue the headlights to the front of the car. Glue them firmly… Don’t make them crooked. One on each side.”

Now that the performance has come to this, the donkey will do what Liu Yonglu said! One by one, they glued the “headlights” on.

After gluing the headlights, I assembled the wheels. After assembling the wheels, I polished the chassis cover that was cut from the bones of some unknown creature…

The two of them worked harder and harder, from dusk until the moon was high in the sky and the stars were shining brightly.

The prototype of the “Sun Chariot” was actually put together.

“Mr. Rich, is this really the Sun Chariot?”

Looking at the monster in front of him, the donkey couldn’t help but ask Liu Yonglu.

“Hey, did Prince Herama tell you? Because we don’t have a stone slab, this is a simplified version?”

Liu Yonglu took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face, but then he remembered that this handkerchief was for the dead, so he quickly took it back and wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve. He thought that Ferhat asked this question because Herama had explained it to him in advance, and perhaps he had even let him read the ancient book.

If that’s the case, Ferhat is indeed a close relative of Helama.

“Ah, ah, right… Is it okay without the stone slab? And this shape is also…”

Just like what Mili Tang said, the Sun Chariot is called this name not because it looks like a carriage or a bicycle after it is made! That is just an image! Who would have thought that Liu Yonglu would really make a car!
“Well, we don’t have a slate. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice. But then again, a living person cannot be held to death by urine.”

The donkey’s face wrapped in the bandages twitched, and he thought to himself, what kind of metaphor is this?

“So, I adapted to local conditions, fully mobilized all the knowledge in my stomach, and exerted my subjective initiative to create such a…

Eh, calling it the Sun Chariot is a bit inappropriate now, isn’t it? “

“Ah, ah, yes.”

Not only can it not be called the Sun Chariot, even I don’t know what effect this thing can produce, the donkey muttered to himself.

“Let’s give it a new name. What do you think?”

Liu Yonglu handed over a cigarette, and Lu took it and smoked it. After all, this was not the first time he had smoked Liu Yonglu’s cigarette.

“I can’t think of a name. You can choose it.”

Donkey’s acting is okay, and his tone and manner still maintain the humility that Ferhat should have.

“I’ll give it to you. Tsk, let’s call it… Xia Li! How about it? Call it Xia Li!”

“Oh, okay, whatever you say.

Uh, Mr. Rich, it’s late today, don’t overwork yourself, shall we continue tomorrow?”

The donkey wanted to find a place to calm down, because Ricky’s series of actions made him a little confused.

Was he serious about it? Or was he just doing it on purpose? Was he hoping Kurt would win? Or was he hoping Heramar would die? Did he really know what the Sun Chariot was for? Or did he want to make something else from the beginning? Did he have his own purpose?

The donkey turned his head and looked at Liu Yonglu. At this moment, he suddenly had an impulse to kill Liu Yonglu directly, and then open his head to see what was inside.

But then I thought, forget it, I have endured it so many times, and it is not easy to meet such a pleasing preacher on earth, I will stay for two more days and see.

“Why are you looking at me? Oh…”

Liu Yonglu slapped his head, took out a pack of cigarettes and two pieces of gold from his pocket and stuffed them into the pocket of the donkey’s robe:
“Brother, you’ve worked hard today. If you need anything later, ask Nian Yu. I will definitely help if I can.

We’ll meet again tomorrow at the same time.”

Liu Yonglu treated the donkey as their unit’s driver!

“Oh, okay, then Mr. Rich, see you tomorrow.”

The donkey walked slowly out of the courtyard, turned around, and soon disappeared completely into the night.

After a while, Millie Tang came back. Seeing the Xiali parked in the yard, Millie Tang…she didn’t want to talk much.

After spending a whole day with Yasmine, the little witch was indeed a little tired. Anyway, Liu Yonglu made it clear a few days ago that this fake Sun Chariot was ultimately just a placebo, a trick, so let it be.

Besides, it would be a good thing for him to do it as it would not waste his time. In the next few days, he could prepare for future sailing matters. Kurt was closest to the Lost Sea and should be able to find a lot of helpful records among the people.

“What are your plans for tomorrow, Mi Li’er? Shall we do it together?”

“You do it, it’s very good. I’m tired, I’m going to take a shower and go to bed.”

Millie Tang was worried about upsetting Liu Yongluxe, so she walked over and hugged him gently.

Life remained the same for the next few days. Liu Yonglu went out with his donkey to buy materials early in the morning, came back in the afternoon to tinker with the car, had dinner in the evening, and then smoked a cigarette and left.

It wasn’t until three days later that Prince Herama came again.
