Necromancer, summoning 055? What the heck?

Chapter 60 On the Long Journey
These headphones were originally Chen Mo's personal item.

Living in this alien world where combat power is off the charts, the wireless earphones that Chen Mo's family provided him with were naturally extraordinary. In order to prevent some "sharp-eyed" superhumans from discovering anything amiss, the laboratory went all out to increase costs, taking the pure bone conduction approach with directional sound beam constraint, and achieving the ultimate in noise reduction and sound cancellation.

There are many things in Dongxia that cannot be applied because they cannot be commercially scaled up due to cost reasons. However, it is not a problem to create a few top-notch products in the laboratory at any cost. The final effect of this pair of headphones is that only the user can hear it clearly, and there is no sound wave leakage.

Considering the possibility that the young princess might provide the "Eternal Song of Life" in the future, no matter how precious these headphones are, they must belong to Princess Liushuang.

Because of her lineage, Liu Shuang's ears are more pointed than those of ordinary people, so she usually hides them in her long, tassel-like hair, making it very easy to store an earphone.

From then on, the young princess's life of memorizing texts underwent a dramatic change.

Every day, the little princess only needs to read the content that needs to be memorized once at a suitable speed, and then pretend to stare blankly at the book for a while, her eyes empty, as if she is "trying hard to recall". That is how she easily "completes" today's chore of memorizing.

Having solved a major problem for the young princess, Liu Shuang was in a great mood and bestowed various rewards and promises upon her. Chen Mo simply smiled, took out a "Fifty-Year Transfer Agreement for the Life Song Medicine" from behind his back, and coaxed the young princess to sign it.

The reason for signing only a 50-year contract was that Chen Mo felt that any longer would be unfair.

Fifty years later... it's fine. There's a priority renewal clause in the agreement. As long as you have enough strength by then, it will automatically be activated and take effect.

Of course, having helped and received ample benefits, one must now face the ensuing troubles.

"Chen Mo, Chen Mo, Aunt Linda won't let me recite the whole passage. She's going to check on me. What should I do? What should I do?"

This is indeed a big problem.

Currently, Princess Liushuang's main learning content is memorizing texts. If she truly memorized them on her own, then Lady Linda could easily answer the question with the next sentence. However, since she is currently listening to the audio through headphones and repeating along on her own, when Lady Linda asks her a question, Princess Liushuang's brain freezes, and she has to rush over for help.

Chen Mo immediately replied, "Miss, don't worry, I'll definitely take care of this for you."

Cyber ​​leaders are omnipotent, but it will take some time!
First, explain to Lady Linda that the shorthand method I taught you is currently only applicable to memorizing from beginning to end. Although it's a bit rigid, being able to memorize is better than not being able to, right?

Hmm... After you've memorized this book, I'll review it with you a few more times. By then, you'll be able to recite it backwards. Don't worry, I'll definitely get it done for you!
The young princess blinked her eyes: "You're not lying to me, are you?"

Chen Mo patted his chest and guaranteed that he would never lie to anyone. "If I lie to you, you will never give me [Eternal Song of Life] again."

Liu Shuang believed it.

Although she was somewhat ignorant about the ways of the world, she could tell how much Chen Mo valued this pill.

The Eternal Song of Life is indeed a very effective medicine, but for professionals, it is ultimately just a special healing potion. It can be very effective when acting alone, but when acting in a team, healing professions have several spells that can replace it, and the recovery speed is much faster than taking the medicine.

For Cloud Mist Territory, this medicine is precious, but its preciousness is limited and can be measured by an equivalent value.

But when it comes to Chen Mo, it's a completely different story.

Whether the people using this drug on Blue Star are ordinary people or elderly, weak, and frail individuals, the difference between these people and professionals is no less than the difference between a fish fry and a blue whale. The difference in life strength leads to completely different effects in terms of both dosage and efficacy.

【Eternal Song of Life】Even if it is broken into several parts, its effect on Earth is comparable to a miracle.

In Chen Mo's mind, as long as he could save a peerless national hero, the value of that would be immeasurable.

The two sides are weighing their options on completely different dimensions.

In Chen Mo's mind, even if he couldn't get anything else, just sending back a batch of "Eternal Song of Life" every year would make his trip to the Starry Continent worthwhile. He had to make sure he clung to the young princess's coattails.

Based on this understanding, Chen Mo regarded Princess Liushuang's request as the most important thing at the moment and was prepared to report the princess's needs back as soon as the altar opened next time.

We must mobilize the entire nation to assist Princess Liushuang in cheating.

The young princess's explanation of the "initial stage of associative memory method" made the serious Lady Linda frown and full of doubts. However, Chen Mo used a bunch of professional terms such as "directional activation of neuronal synapses" and "information flow temporal solidification" to make it sound very impressive, which barely managed to fool her.

Ms. Linda could only remain skeptical and continue to look forward to the "next stage" of "advanced learning"!
The group continued their journey. Chen Mo diligently cultivated his skills, while the young princess half-heartedly memorized her lessons. If nothing unexpected happened, they would continue like this: passing through white stones and dark shadows, traversing green pines and entering jade, the young apprentice presenting a wondrous object, and the princess, the academic genius, returning home…

However, barring unforeseen circumstances, that would be impossible on the return journey.

While the group was camping a few dozen kilometers from White Rock, Tickport, the captain of the Zircon family, caught up with a group of knights.

The commotion caused by the galloping warhorses was so great that, to advanced professionals, it was no different from chasing after someone with sirens blaring. By the time Tickport approached the Cloud Territory camp, they had already formed a battle formation.

With a single glance, Captain Zircon, whose combat experience was equally rich, knew that they couldn't possibly win. The enemy not only outnumbered them, but were also a fully equipped force of heavily armored infantry and cavalry.

Captain Zircon was utterly speechless. Was this some kind of madness? Did they really need to carry this kind of weaponry while operating within a friendly country?
The procedures and fees for just a few cavalrymen crossing the border were already a huge hassle. Imagine how much more expensive it would be for so many of you, all heavily armed. Just the approval process for personnel and equipment alone would be an astronomical sum.

It's important to understand that heavy cavalrymen don't just ride a horse and a rider. Typically, a heavy cavalryman would be accompanied by at least two warhorses, a camel, and two auxiliary soldiers.

When traveling, the heavy armor and weapons are carried by camel-drawn beasts, while auxiliary soldiers take care of the horses and supplies. The knight himself is kept unburdened throughout the journey, and his warhorse is changed every once in a while to ensure that one of the horses is resting.

Before battle, two auxiliary soldiers would help the cavalrymen put on their full armor and coat their well-rested warhorses with armor so that the knights and their horses could be in full condition for the next period of time before going into battle.

The Cloud Mist Legion on the opposite side was just like that; they had enough camels and auxiliary soldiers, so when Tickport's cavalry squad saw them, a third of the Emerald Duchy warriors were already wearing heavy armor, holding the reins tightly, their warhorses with hooded armor on their heads, their hooves pawing the ground restlessly.

They are ready to charge at any moment.

On their side, although the team members were elite heavy cavalry at home, they had to travel light in order to travel quickly over mountains and rivers.

I originally wanted to make a preemptive strike, show my strength, and let the other side know their place, but now it seems like I've only brought shame upon myself.

Since that's the case, then we'll have to go through with the formalities first... well, let's go through with the formalities first, and then we'll talk about it.

He dismounted when he was an arrow's length away, had a warrior remove his armor and sword, and then went forward to present the Zircon family's calling card, while loudly bowing to them.

"Proof of the Radiant Li River, Descendants of the Sparkling Crystal, Barrier of Honor in the Southern Frontier, Foundation of Humanity's Protection!"

"Tikport, a Black-Armored Knight from the City of Radiant Light, under the Zircon Family, Marquisate of the Green Pine Kingdom, pays respects to His Highness, Prince of Cloud Mist Territory, Emerald Duchy!"

At the forefront of the army, the guard commander Peiwen slightly moved his hand on the hilt of his sword, and the longsword, which had been drawn halfway, was neatly sheathed with a "whoosh".

He raised his chin expressionlessly, signaling his soldiers to step forward and take the name card, then turned and quickly delivered it into the core of the camp.

A dozen minutes later, Tickport was granted permission to approach the Cloud Territory's army.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"
