"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. ”

Seeing the little boy talking to the girl as if no one was around, Finn suddenly felt unhappy.

Didn't you see that my brother was talking to my sister?

"Hmm. However, before Finn could open his mouth to scold, the girl who had been ignoring him before turned her head to look at the black-haired boy and nodded in response.

So they knew each other?

Seeing this, Finn immediately stopped the words that were about to be exported, and began to quietly observe the black-haired boy who appeared halfway.

Age...... It looks like an eleven or twelve-year-old, a real little kid. What are you wearing...... Wait! This seems to be the uniform of the researchers in the research institute?!

Why would a researcher's uniform be worn on such a boy who was only eleven or twelve years old? It couldn't be because a boy was already a full-fledged researcher, could it?

Finn knew that in order to become an official researcher at the top research institute of the Empire, he must at least have the title of "junior bachelor", and he himself was already very good, and he only obtained the title of junior bachelor at the age of eighteen!

Finn felt that he could barely be regarded as a genius, but he had never thought about the fact that he was only in his early tens to get a junior bachelor's degree, could the little boy in front of him actually be able to do it?

That's impossible!

After instantly extinguishing the thought that had just popped up, Finn looked at the black-haired boy and couldn't help frowning deeply, secretly guessing the identity of the black-haired boy.

There are all kinds of area restrictions and patrol guards in this research institute, and anyone who walks in the research institute needs corresponding permissions, and outsiders and other people cannot move at will.

Jiang Yan didn't know the doubts in Finn's heart at this time, he directly ignored Finn's existence, glanced at the timer in the lounge, and said to Lily with a smile: "It seems that there is still a lot of time, I don't have anything to do here for the time being, what about you, Lily?"

"Today's words......" Lily tilted her head and thought for a moment, then replied, "It's okay for the time being." ”

Jiang Yan continued to ask, "You are now studying in the Elven Academy under the name of the Elf Academy, so when will you go back at the latest?"

Lily shook her head, "I don't know, the doctor didn't say. ”

"You don't know?"

"Before, it was all arranged by doctors. ”

"Well, Lily, it looks like I've got good news for you first. Jiang Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "Lily, you don't have to listen to the doctor's orders now. ”

"Don't listen to orders?"

Looking at the girl's blank look, Jiang Yan reached out and patted her head: "Don't you understand?" It means that you are already free, and you don't need to listen to the doctor's orders in the future." ”

Lily was visibly stunned for a moment when she heard this, as one of the test subjects of the Dragonborn Project, of course she knew her situation, but now Jiang Yan told her that she was now free?

Lily was stunned for a while, then looked at Jiang Yan carefully for a while before asking, "...... Why?"

Since Jiang Yan's reaction didn't look like a joke, Lily didn't doubt Jiang Yan's words, and naturally believed him, and then asked her doubts.

Jiang Yan casually explained lightly: "I made a little deal with the doctor just now, and he has already agreed. ”

"......" Lily looked at Jiang Yan stunned, not knowing what to say for a while.

Although Jiang Yan said it very lightly, Lily knew very well how difficult it was to get Dr. Lux to agree to let go of a dragonborn test subject like her, and it was definitely not something that Jiang Yan could say with a 'little' transaction.

After thinking about it, Lily finally whispered, "Thank you." ”

And then there was no follow-up.

She is not very good at words, and she will only thank her so bluntly. Although it was simple, the subtle fluctuation in the tone of the words made Jiang Yan, who had known her for a long time, easily hear the unpeace in her heart.

The girl unconsciously pinched the plush doll in her hand that was mimicked by Xiaobai, and was quiet for a while, with a slight confusion in her eyes from time to time.

"What are you thinking?" the attentive Jiang Yan saw the confused look in her eyes, so he asked

"I don't know......" Lily was silent for a few seconds before she said a little dumbfounded, "Freedom...... What is it?"

"Uh......" Hearing this question, Jiang Yan was stunned.

But when he saw Lily's confused eyes, he immediately understood.

As artificial test subjects born directly from the culture tank and born without a father or mother, Lily and Hal grew up in the training and education of the institute.

In fact, the knowledge, three views, ideals, and cognition of the world of these test subjects are very empty, and most of them only have the colors that the research institute has painted for them.

I have to say that the institute's ideological education of the experimental subjects is quite successful.

For example, Lily is now, she has been bound by the research institute since she was a child, and she has become accustomed to following the orders of the research institute, but she has never thought about what the so-called 'independence' and 'freedom' are.

Because she doesn't have that concept in her mind!

The word freedom is too far away from her before.

Even if we understand what 'freedom' is from what we have learned in books, it is only a simple and pale meaning that is only understood literally, and Lily has no real sense of what is called 'freedom' in her heart.

You can't blame her, Lily is only twelve years old now! You can't expect a girl of her age to have such a mature mind, right?

"Well, it was my negligence. After understanding her thoughts, Jiang Yan smiled helplessly and said, "Lily, since you don't understand, then don't think about it." It's not something that needs to be deliberately thought about, and it doesn't matter if you can't think of it now, you will understand it naturally in the future. ”

"Later...... Will you know?" asked Lily, with a blank look on her face.

"That's right. Jiang Yan said with a smile, seeing her confused and dazed look, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her fair and delicate face funny, and said again: "Trust me." ”

As soon as Jiang Yan's 'believe me' came out, the girl's eyes changed, and after she looked at the gentle color revealed in Jiang Yan's black pupils that were as bright as the night sky, the confusion in those jewel-like eyes gradually disappeared.

"Oh. The girl nodded lightly in response, and then she really didn't bother with the topic of freedom or not.

Jiang Yan smiled with satisfaction, then thought about it, and suddenly asked, "Since you don't need to listen to the arrangement of the research institute in the future, then Lily, do you have any plans next?"

Since Jiang Yan helped Lily gain freedom, of course he wouldn't just let her fend for herself, he planned to help others to the end.

After all, Lily's identity is an artificial test subject, she has no real sense of the existence of her parents, and after leaving the shackles of the Institute, of course, the Institute will not support her who has been disconnected.

With Lily's personality, Jiang Yan suspects that if she is really left alone and left to fend for herself, this girl is likely to be abducted by others to sell blood for money, or even sell her life in minutes......

So Jiang Yan planned to ask Lily what she thought about herself, and then help her arrange it. With the powerful position of the Marquis of Angus Thlintna, he can basically meet the needs of most individuals in life.

“...... What's next?" Lily muttered, then shook her head as a matter of course.

Now that she doesn't even understand 'freedom', of course she doesn't have any independent psychology, and she has never thought about the future.

Jiang Yan was not surprised to see this, but smiled understandingly, and asked again: "Then let me ask another question, Lili, do you have anything you want to do in the future, or do you have any dreams that you want to accomplish?"

"Dream ......?" the girl hesitated again in the face of this question, which seemed to be a somewhat unfamiliar word to her......

"For the Empire, for His Majesty the Emperor...... Allegiance?" After thinking for a few seconds, Lily said in a somewhat uncertain tone, and added at the end: "...... Probably?"

Jiang Yan suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, then shook his head at her, and said, "This doesn't count!"

"Doesn't it count?" said Lily, tilting her head, for she had always answered this way when asked about her dreams, and at that time, both the person asking the question and the others in the audience were very satisfied with her answer.

"Hey, don't use questions. Jiang Yan sighed and said, "Look at the tone of your answer, it is obvious that even you are not sure! What kind of dream is this?"

"Then ......" Lily looked down in annoyance and thought again, then simply said, "I don't know." ”

The so-called 'dream' of 'serving the empire and His Majesty the Emperor' is naturally the result of the deliberate education of the institute, and of course Lily has no real sense of this 'dream' instilled by others.

"Forget it. Jiang Yan, who knew that his question was also a little difficult for the girl, could only ask again: "Then Lily, think about it carefully, do you have anything you like and want?"

"Loved it...... Stuff?"

"Or maybe it's a hobby. Jiang Yan guided.

Then he saw that the girl's eyes lit up after thinking for a while.

"I like ...... Delicious!"

"......" Hearing this answer, Jiang Yan was suddenly a little speechless.

Well, asking a foodie is a question, and that's pretty much it.

Girl, you are also an elf envoy of the wurm species, with extraordinary qualifications, and you will basically be able to achieve a military-level elf envoy in the future, even if you are a small master in this empire, can't you have a little higher pursuit?

"Don't you have anything else you want to do besides delicious food?" Jiang Yan continued to ask without giving up.

"Hmm......" Lily thought again, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Looking at her distressed look, Jiang Yan shook his head, and suddenly raised his hand and reached out a finger, and the fingertip lightly touched Lily's frowning eyebrows.

“...... Yan?" Lily looked at Jiang Yan in surprise.

"Forget it, Lily, don't think about it. Jiang Yan moved his fingertips lightly, smoothed the wrinkle of the girl's eyebrows, and then smiled gently, and said, "Foodies are foodies, it's not that I can't afford to raise them." ”

"Words...... Raise me?" Lily asked, dumbfounded.

"Otherwise!" Jiang Yan patted her head angrily, and then said with a smile: "Because of me, you are now free, of course the institute will not continue to support you for no reason, this is actually my nosy, so I have to be more or less responsible." ”

"But......" Lily hesitated, even she understood - Jiang Yan had already helped her a lot by redeeming her own freedom, and she continued to trouble people like this, is it really good......

You must know that as a dragonborn test subject, she is born with defects in her body compared to ordinary people, and the cost of various high-nutrient meals on weekdays alone is a lot of money, not to mention the conditioning of various precious drugs that may be needed.

"Don't worry, I won't be hungry for you. Jiang Yan rubbed her head: "Just one Lily, I can afford it now." ”

Hearing this, Lily found that she didn't know why, and there was an inexplicable feeling of warmth.

But soon, she noticed something was wrong with someone's words.

“...... One?"

"Ahem, it's nothing, you heard it wrong!" Jiang Yan said seriously.

Although she instinctively felt that something was wrong, Lily nodded, "...... Oh. ”

"That's right. Jiang Yan touched her head with a smile, the strength was just right, and the technique was very skillful, so that the girl who was touched couldn't help but squint her eyes and show a look of enjoyment.

Well...... I don't know if it's an illusion, in the eyes of others, the girl's temperament at this time inexplicably looks like a pet that has been smoothed by the owner?

Enjoying the touch of being gently caressed on the top of her head, and experiencing the warm and comfortable feeling that still lingers in her heart, Lily opened her eyes slightly, looked at Jiang Yan's face, and her eyes suddenly became a little distracted.

'This feeling...... Odd. However, there is still a desire for more ......'

In Lily's short life, in addition to the education and orders of the research institute, the only bright color in her memory was the bits and pieces of getting along with Jiang Yan, who was also an experimental subject.

This situation lasted until Jiang Yan left the institute two years ago, and Lily realized for the first time that she seemed to have lost something important, and under this stimulation, her simple and somewhat pale psychology began to gradually begin to change.

Now, the colors of her mind seem to have become more vivid and rich unconsciously, and painted with more colors that belong to someone.

By the way, what I wanted...... Is this it?' At this time, Lily suddenly recalled Jiang Yan's previous questions.

There was a little confusion in the girl's eyes, as if she sensed something. Still worried about the latest chapter you can't find?Amway One or search for Hot/Degree/Net/Article "Remember to remove "/"Otherwise you can't find it", here is a young lady to help you find a book, and chat with you!
