Chapter 131: Caged Bird
"Awake?"
Green focused his gaze on the bed, but all he saw was a body lying quietly on the bed, and he didn't notice any sign of consciousness, and couldn't help but look at Lilith in confusion.
"I feel a little bit of a magic channel." Lilith whispered, glancing at the man in white wearing the mecha mask on the bed, and whispered in Green's ear, "It was as silent as a dead thing before, but it just emitted a little fluctuation, I guess it is awake." ”
If this guy is alive, it would be disrespectful to call it dead, and Lilith's cautious behavior is understandable. It was only when the girl's peculiar fragrance wafted down her white neck into Green's nose that the young man was still unapathetic for a while.
"Magic Technology?" Vivien nodded after hearing this, "That's really an image, since it's a technology similar to a magic guide, then it must be activating." ”
Lady Spirit's remark is more plausible, and whatever its origin, the only explanation for not dying is that it is in a state of cryosleep to stop bodily functions. However, Green was very curious, he knew that the ancient magic technology was very developed, although it was completely different from the modern one, but it had its own pride, so it seemed impossible to be compiled into a modern technology tree like a hodgepodge of programmer apes who followed miracles.
Anyway, the mecha masks are out, and it is estimated that the Spartan Iron Man will not be far away.
Green thought so wickedly.
"But it's too slow, it's only a little fluctuating since you noticed that it is showing signs of sobriety, how long will it be?" After a few moments without seeing an obvious reaction, Green couldn't help but feel a little upset, "I don't have a whole day to spend here. ”
Vivien sat on the eaves of the window like a little girl. Asked curiously. "Does the little one have any plans?"
"Your Excellency has just negotiated a cooperation intention with Count Mrak of Qishand, and a series of specific matters are still to be discussed." Master Hu answered the question in place of Green, "In addition, due to the attack of the undead forces on the two places, Count Mrak believes that the kingdom needs to pay attention to this matter, and the lords of the two places must testify to the princes and nobles in person, maybe in the next few days. His Royal Highness Green is about to leave for the royal capital. ”
The latter matter is not a secret, not to mention that several important people in Jinlunga have also arrived, and Albert got Green's signal in the psychic communication, so he simply revealed the news to the two of them.
"It turns out that this is really good news, if we can get the support of the nobles of the Kingdom of Rhodeland, I think the development of Jinlunga will be even faster," Vivien looked at Green with a slightly surprised expression, as if she didn't expect him to find an ally so quickly. "But in that case, time is really short, Lilith, is there any way you can speed up this fluctuation?"
The aristocratic daughter frowned, felt it quietly for a while, and slowly shook her head.
“…… This fluctuation is unlike anything I know of, and I'm afraid it's hard to do it with my ability, and even a little bit of trying can have a negative effect. ”
This answer disappointed Greene a little. Waiting was an ordeal in itself for the troubled teenager, not to mention the heavy work he had at hand. Including personal exercises, the preparation of bloodline awakening materials, the cooperation between Jin Lunga and Qi Shangde, and the territory construction report accumulated in the past few days, he needs to sort it out. Moreover, in addition to these urgent matters, the issue of the undead captives must also be solved as much as possible, although the examiner Uncle Lan did not express any dissatisfaction, but he stayed under that kind of coercion all the time, and Green was worried that the lich would not be driven crazy to take action regardless of it. He wasn't worried about the safety of the Phantom Ghost and the Trial Space. It's just that I'm afraid that once something happens to this soul creature with only rotten bones left, the interrogation work after entering the royal capital will be affected, and his future race melting pot plan will naturally have to be shelved.
"In that case, then ......" Green thought for a moment, and simply let Vivien, who had nothing to do, stay. Wait until it is fully awake before calling itself, but this is it, and suddenly I remember a knock on the door behind me.
"Your lord, your breakfast."
Lilith walked over and opened the door, and the aqua blue figure immediately poured into the room in the sunlight.
This is a lizardman in a "suit", or more precisely, a lizardman wearing an apron. It held a plate in its hand, a lid covering things, and looked at Green with a wink-eyed look that made no secret of its expectation.
"Oh, it's the waves, it's hard to get busy in the morning."
Green quickly thanked him when he heard the voice, and motioned for him to put the tray aside. The current service in the territory is a few lizardmen with a steady personality, compared to the hairy gnolls, they are more suitable for this kind of trivial work, and Langhua is one of the best, it seems to have a unique talent for this kind of "court" housekeeping, and if you let a few big people in the territory evaluate, Langhua is undoubtedly the best at cooking.
Lizardfolk are mostly dioecious, but a few are hermaphrodites, and Spray is one of them, which may be why it excels in this area. According to Algin, Langhua was a famous cook when they were still in the swamp, and the white-haired gnoll's troops usually used Langhua as their head chef. When they first heard Altyn's introduction, both Green and Albert shook their heads like rattles - who knows what the chefs the jackals and lizardmen like to make! But it turns out that the waves aren't just about cooking the food in the swamp, it's about being able to finely tailor it to the audience.
For example, Green, who has traveled through the world of food, has long been desperate for the diet of this world, so in addition to the fact that there is no meat and no joy, Green's only hobby for food is seafood, even in the early morning, to ensure protein intake. In response to the habits of the lords of Kinlunga, Splash chose to add a moderate amount of aquatic food to his meals, and although Kinlunga is located on the mountain, not far from this peak is a river that leads to the waters of Virginia, a gentle river that flows into the Great Lagoon from the east, winding through a large expanse of reeds, tide puddles, mud bogs and shallows, where large numbers of clam scallops are produced. Mussel shells, muskfish, frogs, turtles, mud crabs, flower crabs, flaming eels, black eels, striped eels, oysters, and so on are all foods that are often found on the carved wooden tables of the lord's mansion. On some nights, Grimm spent only a few days in his territory when he cooked fish with sea salt and crushed peppercorn, or eel with minced garlic and occasionally a little saffron. But in the fastest time, I fell in love with this interracial chef.
"Oh, I'm sorry to call you here so early, I forgot that you still have to eat."
Vivien looked like she had suddenly woken up, she hadn't eaten for decades, and she had long forgotten that this was one of the daily lives of living beings.
Green looked at Lilith and then at Albert, "Why don't we go have breakfast first?" ”
But Lilith spoke again with a little surprise, "Lord Lord! It's responding again! ”
Albert, who was raising the lid to peek at His Royal Highness the Prince's breakfast, froze, "Ahem." Magic Wave Again? ”
"Yes!" Lilith turned her head and her gaze fell on the movement of Albert's hand, "Uh...... By the way, I seem to be attracted by the aroma. ”
Yes, the smell has a great effect on the triggering of the nerves, if you can't let it wake up naturally, then just induce it to wake up!
Green was in good spirits and turned back to the inexplicable waves. "Did you put any spices in your morning meal?"
Langhua nodded his chin and looked up at the sky and thought for a while, "...... There are thyme and lemongrass. ”
In addition to cinnamon and cardamom. These are the two most intense flavors of the spices commonly used by Cabez, especially lemongrass, which has a lemon-like aroma that has a certain refreshing effect. Green waved Albert to bring the plate to the head of the bed, then opened the lid to see what was going on.
Sure enough, under the influence of the delicious aroma, the nerve reaction speed of this inexplicable creature increased rapidly. The body also began to have a weak reaction. Lilith had a look of surprise on her face, and made a few tentative suggestions, such as having the waves create a little bit of a lizardman's unique sound, or having Albert do the simplest part of the elemental coordination, which was a kind of stimulation. are constantly awakening this long-sealed creature.
So with the continuous efforts of several people, the creature wearing the mecha mask finally woke up.
“…… Lord Luna! ”
To everyone's surprise, the first thing this inexplicable creature did when it woke up was to call out the name of the old gods with the sound of an indistinguishable mechanical urn.
It stood up from the bed as if the gravity of physics had no effect on it, and curled up with one leg stretched out and the other curled up, just like that, from lying to standing, standing on the bed and looking up at the roof, as if trying to catch something.
But it quickly stumbled back down.
"I've been dormant for too long, my legs are numb......"
Albert spat in the psychic connection.
Green didn't bother to bother with this unscrupulous servant, just cast a gentle gaze on the creature on the bed. Regarding the Black Wizard's "numbness", he was more inclined to muscle atrophy, so he didn't walk over to avoid causing it to move, but slowly took a step back, making his posture enough to attract its attention.
The masked creature did look up.
It's just that to Green's surprise, he didn't get the expected question, and this guy seems to be extraordinarily calm. Green could feel the burning gaze it cast through the mask, but it just didn't say a word, dead or alive.
Hey, after a few years of hibernation, you wake up and suddenly find yourself in a completely unfamiliar place, can't you give a reaction? You're so calm, do your family know?
Helpless, Green had no choice but to give up the initiative and ask, "Hello?" ”
The other party is unmoved.
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
The other party still didn't respond.
Damn, is this guy listening to me!
Greenfield, who was a little tricky, glanced at Lilith, and after receiving the latter's affirmative answer to the fluctuating reaction, he had to bite the bullet and ask again, "I am Greenfield, the lord of this land, can you tell me your name?" ”
"First ......"
This time, Green finally got an answer.
The masked creature moved almost panningly, from the top of the bed to the foot of the bed, then naturally lowered its legs and responded in a rigid sitting position, "My name is Haavistasia." ”
Whew, it's a good start.
Green breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to signal everyone around him to step back.
He thought about it, although he wanted to ask about its background and ability in a pragmatic way, but the two sides were so unfamiliar, it was too quick to ask such a question, and there were many inconveniences for the future contract, Green thought carefully for a moment, and decided to start with basic identity confirmation first.
"I'm a human lord, and this place is called Jinlunga, and it's my territory." As a gesture of goodwill, he first made a sample and briefly introduced himself, "So, Havestasia, what about your race?" Are you human? ”
"Humans?" It seemed to be touched, and after a moment of recollection, it slowly raised its head.
"No, I'm a caged bird." (To be continued......)
