Chapter 58: The Seed
"See you tomorrow, Brother Hades!"
After dinner in the cabin restaurant, Rhodes couldn't wait to run to his room. Lucy shrugged, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and he couldn't sleep anyway, so he just wandered around inside the airship for a while.
At the bottom of the stairs is the room where the candidates stay, and many candidates gather in the passage to look out the window and look down at the scenery below.
Lucy walked all the way, and all the candidates consciously divided a path for him. Walking to the stern of the airship, Lucy pushed open the iron door, and an empty open-air platform appeared in front of him.
I don't know what this platform is used for, there is only a fence around the outside, and it is clearer to look down from here than in the cabin, but without the protection of windows, ordinary people are only afraid that their legs are weak in such a high place, how can they still be in the mood to see the scenery.
When Lucy saw Kate leaning over the railing, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"See you again!"
Kate looked back at Lucy, apparently surprised. At this time, he had already changed his outfit, and he was no longer wearing that beret, and he was dressed very casually.
He was about to say something, Lucy jumped on the railing, the airship was now four thousand meters above the ground, Lucy squinted his eyes and looked down, and asked casually:
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing Lucy standing steadily on the railing, Kate's heart tightened at first, but she immediately thought of Lucie's flying ability that she had shown several times, and she was relieved.
"If you look down from here, you can only see the outlines of mountains and lakes, not to mention people, and even cities are like toys."
"Only then can I feel the greatness of nature and the insignificance of humanity."
Perhaps because Lucy has always been kind to herself, Kate is not afraid of Lucy like everyone else, but naturally chats with him.
"It seems that you will choose a profession related to the environment in the future, whether to be a phantom beast hunter or a relic hunter?"
Lucy asked curiously, he only remembered the general plot of this world, but he didn't know the details inside, as if he still hadn't been able to distinguish which kind of hunter those familiar plot characters were.
"If I could, I would be a Phantom Beast Hunter," Kate said with some wistfulness, "It would be interesting to discover rare animals that have been passed down since ancient times or that no one knows about, and at the same time to experience different landscapes around the world." ”
Hearing Kate's words, Lucy sighed with emotion:
"It's good to know what kind of person you want to be, and to work hard for that goal, honestly, I envy you."
Kate couldn't help but smile: "Aren't you like this?" ”
"I, actually, I'm a very lazy person, as long as I can eat and sleep well every day, it's enough, and by the way, it's better to live a little longer." Lucy jumped off the railing and said in a joking tone:
"I once read a travelogue that said that the world we live in is only a small piece of a world that is immensely large. On the outside of the world map, there is an inexhaustible supply of food and resources. ”
"There's an ore out there that produces energy just by throwing it into the water. There is a source of water that can be used as the stock solution of all liquids. There are also herbs that can cure all diseases, even cancer. ”
"The most amazing thing is that there is a longevity food there, it is said that eating that kind of food can greatly increase the life expectancy, and it is recorded that after the old monster of a certain family ate that food, his great-great-grandchildren are all adults, and he is still alive."
Lucy looked at Kate and said with a little meaning:
Of course, what the book says is so outrageous that I'm just taking it as a joke. But if there is such a place, it would be interesting to think about, don't you think? ”
Kate couldn't tell whether what Lucy said was true or false, and he would have scoffed if someone else said so, but when it came out of Lucy's mouth, it seemed to be full of meaning.
Moreover, he didn't think that Lucy would be idle and have nothing to joke with him.
After thinking about it, Kate said:
"There can't be a paradise island in this world, if there really is such a place, then it will not only have those resources and treasures, but also have the same disasters and risks, right?"
"Very perceptive," Lucy applauded, "and it is said in the travelogue that this place, though rich in resources and with all kinds of treasures, is the most taboo and inviolable realm of the human world. ”
"Monsters that can infect murderous energy, twin-tailed snakes [Hell Bells], guardians ancient ruins, orbs of unknown nature [gold and silver ingots], immortal diseases that deceive hope and make people fall into endless despair [Zoba Ai], the equivalent exchange of happiness and life, and the breeding beast [Pap]...... and desire-dependent [Ai]. ”
"In the past few hundred years, the human government has also organized teams to explore, but they have failed miserably, and each step has brought back a catastrophe that is enough to destroy humanity."
"That's why, two hundred years ago, the V5 made a treaty forbidding anyone to explore the continent."
"But ......," Luci said in a leisurely elongated tone, "The book says that someone has set foot in that forbidden realm during this period, and has brought back one of the five great calamities to this day. ”
When he said this, Lucy suddenly stopped, faced Kate's eager gaze, and said with a wicked taste: "Of course, these are just the author's writings, and no one knows whether they are true or not, just take it as a novelist's whimsy." ”
Kate didn't know what to say, he had a gut feeling that Lucy would never say this to him for no reason.
"You...... Why are you telling me this? ”
"Anyway, I think you're good enough to join us, so I changed my mind. Seeing your expression now, I am even more convinced of my choice. ”
Lucy said sincerely, if Rod was here, it would be unbelievable, why a guy who can't even read can get such high praise from Lucy, only Lucy understands Kate's achievements in the future.
Not to mention anything else, just holding Catwoman in a one-armed state for one night is enough to deserve this evaluation. In fact, in Lucy's opinion, if Kate's strength in the ant chapter is placed in the brigade chapter, it can go sideways.
Imagine that if the brigade encounters Catwoman, I am afraid that most of the members will have their heads twisted off in front of them. Maybe Wojin can still support himself for a moment with his strong body, but he can't escape a dead word. Feitan is the fastest in the brigade, but compared to Catwoman, it is undoubtedly a drop in the shadows, and it is difficult to say whether the more seriously injured you are, the stronger your ability to make moves.
A pervert who loves to score people when he has nothing to do meets Catwoman, and he can only score 10,000 points in his heart first, and then silently launch a flexible love to escape.
Judging from Kate's second killing of chimeric ants and Catwoman's comments on him, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the strongest of the younger generation.
Such a talent, Lucy originally planned to let the plot go along the established trajectory, but now he has changed this idea, if he can, he wants to pull Kate into his team as well.
But...... Kate is still very immature now, and planted a seed first, as long as his curiosity is aroused, people like him will definitely not resist the temptation of the unknown world.
Now that the goal has been achieved, Lucy no longer lingers, and walks towards the door with a chuckle.
"Go to a place where others have not seen, meet things that others have not seen, and receive treasures that others have not touched! Trample on the strange land unscrupulously! Kate, I'm looking forward to your choice. ”
