Chapter 14: Otto's Study... room

"What is there to look forward to, I won't participate anyway." Otto scoffed. But that's not the case with Xiu.

"What? You're not going to attend? That... Why are you here? ”

"Because this training camp is more suitable for me to study than at home." Otto said lightly, "Now the whole family is against me conducting Honkai research, and I came here to change to a quieter place." Here, no one in the family would think that I was continuing to study Honkai. In addition, you can get up close and personal with the products of the Honkai, so I can do it whenever I want to do experiments. Do you know what other people's attitudes are towards Honkai research? ”

Xiu shook his head.

"Think of it as making a deal with the devil. And I've been researching the devil's deal. Otto suddenly showed a terrible face, "You don't know how terrible Honkai is. That kind of thing doesn't have a fixed shape at all. It can be said that as long as there is a form that can kill humans, then what form will Honkai take. And it exists in more than one form. For example, the Black Death was a manifestation of the Honkai. And it's very likely that my research will lead Honkai into a new form and explode at once. That's going to be a lot more people dying. Otto deliberately said as if it would be the end of the world, and wanted to see if Xiu had a big reaction.

"Oh." Xiu nodded.

The cold is simply infuriating. But it doesn't matter if Otto has long thought of him as a fool.

"Silly... No, repair. Would you still find my research useful? Otto asked tightly.

"Doesn't my sister support your research?"

"Karen?" Otto's expression softened, but he still asked, "What does this have to do with Karen?" ”

"As long as my sister supports me, I will follow. Because my sister can't be wrong. Xiu smiled slightly.

Otto stopped talking. "Will you also support my research?"

"Would you use him for bad things?"

"I'm not sure, then."

"If you're using research to help people fight Honkai, of course I'm unconditionally supporting! But if you do bad things with research, I'm going to stop you. Xiu said very seriously, "Because if you do something bad, it means that you have deceived your sister." I will not forgive such a person. ”

Otto smiled disapprovingly.

"You don't even know what Honkai is, and you're trying to stop me. Even if you want to stop me, you must first be able to use gunfighting. ”

"I... Someday it will be used! Otto was even more unimpressed.

When? Lifetime?

He didn't pay attention to Xiu's interest anymore, he simply lay on the bed, reopened the heavy book and continued reading, no matter how Xiu shouted, he ignored Otto, and over time, Xiu ignored Otto, and went back to the bed to cover his head and take a nap.

By the time Xiu was woken up, it was already dusk. Xiu seemed to have slept through his lunch, so much so that he felt hungry when he woke up.

"Let's have dinner." Otto threw Xiu's iron plate at him, "This should be carried at all times, this represents your identity." Xiu followed Otto out in a daze.

Dinner was hearty, with white bread and ham, and even several large turkeys. Everyone gets a large piece of turkey meat, and after Otto received dinner, he unceremoniously went up and pulled off the turkey leg and turned to run, and Xiu learned from Otto to pull off the chicken wings......

The two of them hurriedly fled back to the dormitory to close the door under the murderous eyes of others, and enjoyed dinner without caring about themselves.

"Why would I do this with you?" Xiu felt weird: "It feels so fun!" ”

"Fun?" Otto glanced at Xiu with concern, "We are grabbing food with others, there are only a few chicken legs, and if you eat others, there will be no more." We robbed other people of their food, you think it's funny?"

"If it's such a bad thing as you say, why do you want to take me to do it?" Xiu was a little frightened.

Was he scared? Otto was suddenly surprised.

"I didn't take you with me, you did it yourself." Otto fiercely tore off a piece of turkey meat, "It's unpalatable, the meat is too old." It's also a bit sour. ”

Xiu didn't have much appetite to eat. He felt that it was wrong to do this, and that he should not be like this. Otto suddenly felt bored when he saw his reaction.

He didn't seem to be able to find anything interesting in his body at all.

"Do you think you shouldn't do this, that it's against the rules of knighthood?"

Xiu didn't speak, but apparently acquiesced.

"The turkey is laid out for food, and it is their freedom for others to cut it little by little, and we cut the thighs and wings directly, is there a clear rule that you can't do this? Why can't you eat it? What a fool. Otto ate the chicken thighs and began to nibble on ham and bread, "If you don't want to eat it, keep it for me, I don't think it's enough." ”

Xiu thought about it and gnawed on his wings in small bites.

Neither of them spoke, and soon their dinner was over. Xiu stood up.

"Where are you going?" Otto asked.

"I'm going to feed the horses."

"You still have horses?"

Xiu nodded, "Everyone has to bring a horse...... Oh, you shouldn't be too lazy to bring it. ”

Otto smiled lightly, acquiescing.

Xiu went to the stable, took a bag of dried oatmeal beans, and poured it into the black horse's manger, and filled the trough with water. Xiu gently stroked the black horse's mane.

The black horse was still so thin, but when Xiu's fingers touched its skeleton, he realized that its skeleton was very thick.

If Mr. David is right about you, then I'm looking forward to when you grow up. Xiu thought in his heart.

The night gradually became thicker, and three or two night breezes swept by, rolling up a few lightly floating wheat straws. A few bells rang occasionally in the distance, and they were the horse bells of the logistics transport team. The Valkyries and the knights' light armor collided softly, and there was some noise coming from the recruits' quarters. Farther into the night, there seemed to be a softer sound coming from the training ground. The mane of the black horse of the training camp in the night swayed gently in the wind. It shook its ears, and was still chewing on the beans in its mouth, and it looked up and around. There didn't seem to be anything strange, so he wagged his tail and lowered his head to continue eating.

The dark horses are still eating food and grass, the Valkyries and knights are still patrolling, and the recruits' quarters are still noisy.

Xiu quietly stroked the mane of the black horse and watched the camp be brightly lit.

"Wouldn't it be nice to let the moonlight illuminate the camp without torches? But that's not possible. Xiu said to himself. He suddenly wanted to look at the night sky and take a closer look. Whether it's the sparse stars or the bright moon.

Xiu climbed on the roof. The rough stone slabs of the roof were covered with dust, and the stone surface was not uncarefully smoothed, and the rough stone surface seemed to be used to sharpen swords. Xiu simply patted the dust on the top, and then just lay on the roof in the corner, staring blankly at the night sky. A few owl calls could be heard in the depths of the night.

There aren't many stars tonight, and a few dots under the vast night are inconspicuous. In the light of the moon, the stars appear dim.

Xiu raised his hand, pointed his finger at the moon from afar, and pinched it, as if he wanted to make the moon more round.

"It looks like the moon is pretty small." A cold night breeze blew, and the sudden chill made Xiu sneeze.

Xiu rubbed his nose and continued to look at the starry sky.

The soft moonlight and sporadic starlight reflected in his eyes.

"I really want to go to the sky and see how big the moon is and how many stars there are."

Xiu unconsciously closed his eyes, and his breathing slowly calmed down.
