Act 435. Alchemy dolls don't have dreams reminiscing about the past
Reiner felt that he had seen many memories that he had never had, that he seemed to be a little girl, alone at home every day, with a big golden retriever dog as his companion, and as for the daughter's father, who had been together less and more since he could remember, the girl knew that her father had a more important job, so she obediently and silently endured loneliness and loneliness.
The girl grew into a girl, she learned magic, perhaps inherited her father's bloodline, she was a genius who was praised by everyone, but even so, her father never paid too much attention to herself.
Perhaps due to early exposure to some magical materials, her body weakened and deteriorated in a short period of time, and she was on the verge of death.
Before dying, the girl was finally able to get her father's gaze, only for a moment, but it was enough to satisfy her, and she passed away with a smile.
Reiner was so immersed in this long and real dream that he forgot his identity for a moment, and he didn't know if he had dreamed of the girl or if the girl had woken up from the dream.
But soon, with the girl's death, Reiner gradually came to his senses.
The first thing he saw was the soft pillows and the austere ceiling of the hotel, and then, feeling the heaviness of his chest, Reiner saw the sleeping side face of a young girl, which was exactly the same as in his dream, and made Reiner think that he was still in a dream.
But he immediately remembered what had happened last night and suddenly came to his senses.
"Mana is exhausted!"
Reiner tried to get up, only to find the other man lying on his chest, and from his current vantage point, he didn't seem to be dressed yet.
"I don't think I'm sorry for Claire......"
Reiner checked his memory of last night and found that nothing that shouldn't have happened, and he slowly moved his body so that Halleyson's head rested on the pillow and he climbed out of bed.
The clothes on his body were intact, there was no trace of being taken off, it seemed that he had indeed slept honestly all night, as for why Halleyson's clothes were taken off, Reiner thought about it carefully, it should have been taken off in order to confirm Halleyson's core magic circle, and he didn't have any strange thoughts.
Looking at his hand, Reiner put aside the warmth and softness he had just touched, and began to seriously think about what had happened last night.
He could remember trying to infuse Halleyson's mana into his body, but Halleyson's core circle was like a huge whirlpool, sucking all of Reiner's mana into it, and even as a high-level mage, Reiner collapsed due to the excessive consumption of mana and fell into a deep sleep.
Closing his eyes, Reiner could feel that the subtle connection between himself and Halleyson had become closer, for a while, he could only roughly know that Halleyson was around him, but now, he could accurately grasp the alchemy doll's physical condition, and know the slightest change in her, this feeling was as if he was one with the other party.
At this moment, for example, Reiner could feel the peace and peace in Halleyson's heart, which was a fulfilling feeling that made Reiner feel relaxed and happy.
At the same time, Reiner can also sense that his heart lake has established a special connection with Halleyson, which can continuously provide magic power to the core circle of the alchemy puppet, allowing it to draw magic from the surrounding air, that is, the core circle that originally relied on the Philosopher's Stone is now controlled by Reiner, and as long as Reiner moves, he can easily cut off the energy supply to Halleyson's core circle, making it unable to move.
The reason why Halleyson extracted so much of Reiner's mana last night was also to allow Reiner's mana to completely fill his body, replacing the part that originally relied on the Philosopher's Stone.
As Reiner pondered, Halleyson slowly opened his eyes.
She glanced around, then at Reiner, and finally at her naked upper body.
"I'm so sorry, Reiner host, it's my first time and I can't satisfy you......"
"Nothing strange happened last night, no!"
Reiner hurriedly corrected.
"But now I feel like my body is filled with the essence of Lord Reiner, and I don't feel as empty as before."
Halleyson said nonchalantly, half of her body wrapped in the quilt, revealing only her slender collarbones and sleek shoulders, looking pitiful.
"Please don't use this misleading description."
Reiner no longer knew if the maid really didn't understand or if she was deliberately making fun of herself.
"Lord Reiner."
Halleyson put on his scattered clothes on the bed and came to Reiner, and just when Reiner thought she was about to say something strange, Halleyson made a standard salute.
"Thank you very much."
"After all, I am your master, and Lord Hohenheim entrusted you to me, and there must be a certain reason."
Reiner smiled, this maid was old-fashioned and difficult, but she was also a poor person after all.
"Alchemy dolls are not human, they should not have the desire to survive, in fact, even if they stop functioning because of this, it is not unacceptable for Helleson to sleep forever."
But Halleyson explained in a flat, emotionless voice.
"It's just that last night, Halleyson did have a glimmer of desire to live, so he came to Reiner's master's room, I judge, this must be a deviation from the magic circle that controls Halleyson's actions, as an alchemy puppet, you shouldn't ask your master to do these things for yourself."
Halleyson said, her voice still so inorganic that she couldn't hear any emotion, but Reiner felt that the maid was trying to express some of her inner feelings, even if she thought it was a mistake.
"Alchemy dolls don't need feelings, and they don't produce feelings, these are unnecessary things that affect correct judgment, and Halleyson didn't have any emotional functions when they were created, so for my behavior last night, which may have threatened the life of Master Reiner, Halleyson thinks that this is an extremely serious mistake, and according to the situation, I hope that Master Reiner can correct Halleyson."
Sometimes she refers to herself as "I", sometimes as "Halleyson", and it seems that in Halleyson's mind, these two self-pronouns represent two different paths.
After hearing her words, Reiner smiled slightly, and he reached out and gently touched Hlaison's head.
"You didn't make a mistake, and you don't need to correct it, Halleyson just needs to be himself, it doesn't matter if it's an alchemy puppet or not, so you don't need to be as strong as before, if you have anything you want, just say it."
"Really?"
Halleyson's pupils twitched, a change in emotion that only Reiner could perceive.
"Of course."
"That ......"
Halleyson, who usually spoke without hesitation, hesitated for the first time, and after a long time, she spoke.
"Can you hug me?"
Reiner smiled, perhaps because the girl's emotions in the dream had infected him, and he gently hugged Halleyson, the petite maid, who also had a human body temperature at the moment.
