The mechanical black horse in front of him was quite tall. Cheng Mo felt that he had to use a riding stool if he wanted to ride on it. Thinking of the short Zorro riding on it, Cheng Mo felt that the scene was funny. Of course, this was not something worthy of his concern.

So he stood on the gravel road outside the thatched house and shouted: "Mr. Zorro, here I come."

Zorro's furious voice immediately came from the thatched house, "I pooped just fine! Why are you yelling?"

"Sorry, Mr. Zorro, please pull it tight, I'll wait slowly at the door." Cheng Mo replied loudly.

"What a rude bastard." Zorro shouted angrily.

Cheng Mo did not respond. He stood on the gravel road and looked at the mechanical horse in front of him, which was as black as night. Its eyes were blood red, as if inlaid with two blood stones, and its hair was shiny, as if it had just been

After washing, the limbs are thick and slender, like a divine horse that came out of mythology. In short, it is very powerful, and people can't help but admire it.

A moment later, the sound of flushing came from the thatched hut. Zorro, wearing a top hat, a black outer and red cloak, a black silk shirt and breeches, walked out of the thatched hut, with a long knife on his waist.

The sword was much longer than his legs, and it clanked on the ground.

In fact, Zorro's props are great, but the sword is a bit longer and the cloak is a bit bigger. Against the backdrop of the dwarf's height, it really makes people laugh. Cheng Mo suppressed a smile, caressed his chest, bowed slightly, and was very polite.

He said: "Good morning, Mr. Zorro."

"What a fart." Zorro said angrily, "I haven't learned anything else, but I have learned a lot about the hypocritical etiquette of Westerners. It's really disgusting. I don't think you look like a Chinese, but like a Japanese.

people."

Cheng Mo was a little surprised. The name "Lin Zhinuo" he wrote on the contract that day. If he didn't have a good understanding of East Asian culture, it would be difficult to guess which country he was from. He pretended to be shocked and asked: "Zorro

How did sir know that I am from Xia country?"

Zoro said proudly: "Because the Japanese people speak very bad English, you have no Japanese English accent at all."

"Then why am I not from Dahan Republic of China?"

Zorro was puzzled, "In that small country, would anyone be able to enter the Winter Palace?"

Cheng Mo thought that Zorro must have stayed in the Winter Palace for at least twenty years, but he did not explain to Zorro that the Republic of Korea is now a relatively strong country, but continued to test with a smile: "Why did Mr. Zorro say that Westerners

Etiquette hypocrisy?”

Zoro raised his head, glanced at Cheng Mo and sneered: "Because all the etiquette designed by the white-skinned pigs in the West is to express to people who don't understand the truth, I am very polite, I am very cultured, I am very cultivated

, But no matter how they behave, under the surface of this set of etiquette, it is still the cultural core of the weak and the strong." After a pause, he added, "In comparison, your Xia country's benevolence, righteousness, and principles,

The heart is a higher-order moral concept."

Cheng Mo certainly knew that the so-called "benevolence, righteousness, reason, and heart" refer to: the "benevolence" that Confucius emphasized, the "righteousness" that Mencius praised, the "reason" that Zhu Xi paid attention to in the moral concept, and the "reason" that Wang Yangming paid attention to in realizing morality.

"Heart". This is not something that ordinary people can summarize as the core of moral thinking in Confucian culture. It shows that the other party not only has a deep understanding of Western civilization, but also East Asian civilization. Otherwise, he would not be able to express such a to-the-point sarcasm and insight.

However, Zorro's tone made Cheng Mo unable to judge Zorro's nationality. Originally, he thought Zorro should be a European, but the tone he heard today did not seem like it. In short, Zorro is very familiar with East Asian culture and European culture.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to express such a pointed sarcasm.

"If you really look at it from a moral perspective, our Chinese moral values ​​are more noble, but don't you think this set of statements is too confusing for ordinary people in the secular world? After all, people still can't escape a profit.

"If morality cannot solve the issue of fairness in benefit distribution and cannot resolve the complex differences and cognitive contradictions in the real world, it will always be uncertain, and the law will still be reliable."

Zoro had no intention of discussing it with Cheng Mo. He waved his hand and said impatiently: "You have escaped from the real world. Now that you are in the Utopia, you don't have to think about such far-reaching things. You can be whatever kind of person you want to be now.

What kind of person do you want to be?”

"That's what you said." Cheng Mo said, "I'm here to pick up the script."

"I know." Zoro turned to the penguin robot standing behind him and said, "Chernabog! Give this idiot the script."

Chernabog staggered to the front and handed a notebook in his hand to Cheng Mo. When he took the script, Cheng Mo said, "My name is Lin Zino. If you don't mind pronouncing it,

, you can call me zero."

Zoro rolled his eyes and said: "I can pronounce your name, Lin Zino." He emphasized the weird three words "Lin Zino", and then cursed, "Idiot."

"Okay! Mr. Wisdom." Cheng Mo said with a smile. He believed that Zorro must not know what the word "wisdom" means in Xia Kingdom's Internet language. He lowered his head and looked at the script in his hand. It said

With a few English cursive words, he couldn't help but read, ""Orphéeauxenfe" ("Orfeo in Hell")"

"Do you know this show?" Zorro asked.

Cheng Mo opened the script and said: "Of course I know, Orfeo is a famous poet and singer in Greek mythology. Legend has it that his singing can make beasts bow their heads and stones nod. He is going to hell to find his dead wife Eulu

Eurydice sang all the way, which moved Pluto and the Queen of Hades, who promised to let Eurydice return to the world. But when Orpheus was near the ground, she forgot Pluto's instructions and looked back at her wife, causing her to return to the underworld. Orpheus was grieving.

She decided not to marry for the rest of her life. This story is a very popular story in Greek mythology. Earlier, Monteverdi and Gluck had written it into an opera, and then Offenbach adapted it based on this myth.

He told a satirical story and changed the tragedy into a comedy."

Zoro laughed, "It's best now that you understand the story."

Cheng Mo flipped through the script, which contained only a few sentences of introduction. The content of the introduction was somewhat similar to Offenbach's light comedy satirical story. In the story, the king did not do his job and sneaked to the Swan Lake every day to meet with others.

A scientist, Chloe, was entangled, and Queen Drovna was beautiful and proud. Knowing that the king was attracted to the beautiful scientist Chloe, she often went to have trysts with the beautiful scientist Chloe's ex-husband without telling the king. The king did not know that he was pursuing the goddess.

At that time, he was cuckolded by his wife, and the task assigned to Cheng Mo was to let the king know and witness the cuckolding scene with his own eyes.

"Is this the script?" Cheng Mo looked up first, and after looking at Loneliness, he immediately lowered his head and looked at Zorro, "How do I act in this?"

"You can act freely as you please!" Zorro said confidently, "The contract only states that you will not violate the "Laws of the Utopia". Does my script ask you to violate the "Laws of the Utopia"?"

"But you didn't write how I should act?"

Zorro raised his hand and jumped like a flea, patted the script and said: "Isn't the writing clear enough? I ask you to let the king witness the date between his wife and his love rival's ex-husband!"

Cheng Mo couldn't laugh or cry, "The king can't be His Royal Highness Paul XIV, right?"

Zorro put his hands on his hips and laughed "haha": "Who is it if it's not that narcissist!"

"But now I don't even know who the queen is, who Chloe is, and who Chloe's ex-husband is!" Cheng Mo spread his hands, "This is too difficult!"

Zorro sneered and said: "If it's not difficult, I will promise to take you into the Universe Thinking Garden? You know, it is not a place where even cats and dogs can enter!"

"The worst thing is to wait until the Universe Thinking Garden opens."

"Now that the contract has been signed, do you think you still have a choice?"

"I'm just deducting money for not completing the contract. What else can you ask me to do?" Cheng Mo shook his head and said, "If I really want to do it, I will either offend the king or the queen, so I might as well deduct some money."

Zoro shouted angrily, raising his hand to snatch the script from Cheng Mo's hand, "If you don't want to enter the Universe Thinking Garden, just give me the script back! Don't even try to bargain with me!"

Cheng Mo dodged back, but Zoro was in the air. He said seriously, "At least you should help me within your ability, right?"

Zoro jumped up and down and continued to grab the script, "I told you not to bargain!"

Cheng Mo didn't think that Zorro was as naive as he acted. He knew that this was Zorro's self-disguise, relying on his acting skills to test his bottom line. Cheng Mo was sure that in the entire Utopia, he was the only one who dared, and he would, accompany Zorro.

Luo wanted to do such a risky and boring thing, so he conveniently stuffed the script into Zorro's arms, pretending to be angry and said: "In this case, it will be a failure anyway, so you can hire someone else!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without giving Zorro a chance to continue his performance.

Zoro was stunned for a moment while holding the script, watching Cheng Mo quickly walk away, but in the end he didn't catch up.

Cheng Mo firmly believed in his judgment and did not look back. He walked along the gravel road to the checkerboard gate of the "Cosmic Thinking Garden" and observed it for a long time before returning to his room in the Winter Palace.

In the afternoon, Cheng Mo walked around in other places. He found the farm of Joseph Kennedy, the former fifth general. It was a huge circular pasture. Joseph Kennedy's cabin was the center of the circle. Cheng Mo

After passing by three times, I didn't see Joseph Kennedy. I only saw his cows and chickens walking and running leisurely in the pasture.

He also passed by the bookstore of Physics Master Kramers several times, and he saw Kramers, wearing a wizard's hat and a long white beard, sitting on a rocking chair on the platform of the bookstore, basking in the sun. Written by Cheng Mohou

Shaanpi shouted twice tentatively, but Kramers seemed not to have heard him and ignored him.

As for the people Cheng Mo wants to find besides Yan Funing, "Ling" and "Amedeo", one is in "Changfeng Cliff" and the other is in "Wuyou Palace", both of which are in private territory. Cheng Mo

If you want to enter, you must first find a way to get an invitation. In an ideal country without modern contact methods, the only way to get an invitation is to hold a general meeting once a month, but not everyone will be present. Then there is the weekly meeting.

Likewise, not everyone will be able to attend the palace ball.

Cheng Mo thinks that firstly, the prisoners in the Utopia do not have much social needs, and secondly, the Utopia deliberately slows down the pace and uses rules to make it so difficult to find someone.

If you don't take into account that there are people outside who are looking for you hard, Cheng Mo feels that this kind of life is quite leisurely. If you really choose land, build a house, and engage in breeding and planting on your own, it will indeed be a joy in life, especially

For the chosen ones who have experienced many bloody events, such a carefree environment can be called "paradise".

To be honest, assuming that Athena and Teacher Shen were here, Cheng Mo felt that he could live happily. He took a fancy to a piece of land by the Swan Lake, which was next to the mountains and forests and had beautiful scenery. If he could build it there by himself,

It is absolutely pleasant to build a house, live there, and interact with nature every day.

But this is unlikely to happen.

Cheng Mo patiently explored the Utopia for another two days. Apart from feeling that this place was a paradise, he did not have any other feelings. There were only 993 people living in such a large area, and it was still a bit difficult to meet them.

What's difficult is that, in fact, there are only dozens of houses that Cheng Mo can see, and most of the others are hidden in corners that he can't reach or hasn't gone to yet.

But on the 29th, Cheng Mo finally waited for his first opportunity to contact other citizens of the Utopia. Because Chloe had stopped for a week, the palace ball will be held again, and this time it should be the people of the Utopia.

It's relatively even.

In the afternoon, Zorro finally couldn't hold himself back and asked his robot servant Chernabog to come to Cheng Mo's room and promised Cheng Mo that he would help him. Cheng Mo agreed readily, but his inner plan was to act according to the situation.

, the two made an appointment to meet in the garden before the palace ball started.

At half past five when the banquet was about to start, Cheng Mo changed into the dress that Sislaberg had prepared for him, took the invitation given to him by Lermontov, and went out. In the garden was the God of Love Wei Wei.

Next to Nas and the golden little angel sculpture, Cheng Mo saw the little dwarf Zorro. He was still wearing the very funny Zorro COS suit, and the long silver sword was also hanging on the ground.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Zorro." Cheng Mo greeted with a smile.
