Chapter 32: Before the War (1)
Waited until it was dark, and George didn't show up. Georgina had no choice but to leave, she didn't want to spend the night in the hospital room. When I left, I took the big bouquet of flowers with me, saying that it was easy for others to misunderstand if I left.
Duck was so struck that his eyes were starry, his limbs were weak, and he couldn't move. This time, Isabella and Riley watched a big joke solidly, if it weren't for the fear of disturbing the rest of the people in the ward, these two heartless stinky girls would be able to laugh for half a night.
At one o'clock in the morning, George's newsletter came.
"Dark, the joint search team has thoroughly searched Stamford Floating Island and the surrounding area, and found a large number of abandoned ice mayfly nests, but not a single ice mayfly. It's breeding season for ice mayflies, and this year's average temperature in the North Sea is at an all-time high, making it even more conducive to their reproduction, and there is no reason why they will disappear. ”
"What's going on? Hidden?"
"I analysed the egg shells of ice mayflies and found something interesting. ”
"What?"
"Do you remember the broken egg shells that the North Sea Monster left behind as it swam underwater? Half of them were the eggs of an ice mayfly, and the other half were an unknown shellfish. The North Sea Monster and the Ice Mayfly have a symbiotic relationship. ”
"Impossible! Ice mayflies build nests on icebergs, and North Sea trolls live in water, how can they form a symbiotic relationship?"
"But that's just the way it is. Now we can't find the ice mayfly, and this invisible danger is the most terrifying. In my opinion, more outposts must be built. Ensure the scope of detection. ”
"Agreed. However, we can't just rely on it, the whole Jagenque area is too big for us to take care of. ”
"You don't have to worry about that, we're outsiders, and if we want to defend, Jagenke isn't at ease. Governor Luxford had already given the order for the fleet and airship fleet to assemble and be ready to attack. All we need to do is set up outposts in key areas. ”
"Well, yes, so we're officially partnering with Jacques?"
"So, how worth it is for you to fall on your head!"
"Phew, raise, raise! And, what's going on with your girlfriend?
"She was never my girlfriend. I don't have any special affection for her, I can't care about it, and I'm not qualified to care about it. ”
"Save it, my Mr. George, that nervous lady came to me yesterday with a handful of roses and waited for you, and I waited for most of the night!
"No, I can't. ”
Duck wanted to cry without tears: "Brother, you are my own brother." You don't want an ice slime? She's already angry, and I wondered, but I also have a bit of a love for fighting side by side, and it's easier to talk. Yesterday I asked Riley to talk to her, and she pushed it cleanly, pretending to be quite similar, saying she never knew what an ice slime was!"
George was visibly taken aback: "What? Ice Slime is there?"
Duck was stunned: "Ah, isn't it in her hands? Didn't you say that a friend of yours found the Ice Slime?"
"It's not her, stupid!"
"Uh, ahahaha, it's okay, it's okay - you didn't say it sooner!"
"I don't want to get involved with that paranoid man too soon, you overly curious guy will definitely reveal my whereabouts!"
"Cut, how do you know if you haven't done it yet? But George, in that case, I have something to say. ”
Say. ”
"You're shameless. ”
There was suddenly no sound on the other end of the communication, probably choked stupid by this sentence.
Sure enough, after a long time, George said angrily: "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, it's just to scold you for being shameless. ”
"You'd better explain it to me!"
"Georgina doesn't owe you anything, you can't do that to her. Is it wrong to like someone?"
George sneered: "The meat seller in Snell's vegetable market still likes me, is it possible that I have to accept it? She has the right to like it, and I also have the right to refuse!"
"But you didn't refuse! Okay, just give a sentence, if not, simply explain it neatly, so dry people all day long, where are you fishing?"
"How can I have time! You can now lie down and enjoy the service of two beauties, and I will blow the cold wind on the icy sea outside!"
"Don't change the subject, George, although she has a bad temper and a little mouth, she is not bad-hearted, and besides, how many young ladies are not bad-tempered and not angry?"
"This has nothing to do with you, I don't need you to take care of my personal problems! Save your life, and you will come out to fight the grievances? naïve!"
George's anger came up.
Duck didn't get angry, and when he finished speaking, he said, "George, it's you who are naïve." ”
"Hmph. ”
"It's been a long time together, and I think I can still understand some of your thoughts. Let's talk calmly, shall we?"
"You were the first to provoke. ”
Darker ignored the remark and said, "You are a man of high and arrogance, confident, elegant, and wise, and these qualities impress everyone who comes into contact with you. I don't understand, why do you give me the impression that a god is looking down on its people?"
"One day, when you stand at the top, you will feel lonely and lonely. ”
"No, you are full of misunderstandings and malice towards the world. You think everything badly and then find ways to trample it under your feet. ”
"Because I have a natural sense of mission, I came into this world to save and transform it. So I will never compromise on this world, never. If it dares to hurt me, I'll hurt it hard, I'll retaliate, I'll get ten or twenty times my revenge!"
"I admit that you have this ability, but you have reconciled with the world again and again. Also," Duck chuckled, "please, can you stop being so alarmist?"
"Hmph. ”
"The difference between our cognitions is quite big, and our personalities are not particularly compatible, but we can turn the tide again and again, why? Because we both hope that life will be better from the bottom of our hearts, and we are willing to sacrifice for it. Think about what you just said, the child who lost his temper threw a toy?"
George didn't speak.
"Actually, you have accepted the world, but you don't admit defeat with your mouth. Later, you learn to accept your parents, you accept your friends, and now, you just have to learn to accept what people do to you, well, 'admiration', yes, admiration. ”
"Nonsense!"
"When Master Nicholas traded his life for your freedom, when you fell to your knees crying in the sewers of Port Snell, when you risked your life to save us with a giant TBM, I knew you were a pretty good fellow. Oh, by the way, and one more thing, in the face of a sudden, somewhat unreasonable pursuit, you just timidly and embarrassedly dodged away and didn't blow people out, which once again validates my opinion, am I right?"
"I don't like that stinky girl. ”
"I didn't let you like her. What I said just now is very clear, love or not, it's all up to you. As you said, I don't have to worry about your personal problems. I'm just giving you sincere advice as a friend, George, all the harm and revenge you do will hurt yourself in the end. ”
George let out a low sigh.
"Hey, buddy!" Duck changed his flirtatious title, "Hurry up and mature, until I think you can do it, I'll invite you to drink, how about it?"
"That must ...... It's going to be fun......"
"When—of course—finish drinking, go find a few more ......"
A gentle and somewhat charming voice suddenly interjected: "Looking for a few things?"
The voice startled Dark, "Lady Alexia?"
George hurriedly said, "Uh, the female horse, what Duck means, is, well, find a few, cheap material dealers, um, yes, material dealers." ”
"It's strange to believe you. But the female horse and the female horse are very happy!"
"Huh?"
"My George has grown up, and it's time to talk about marriage. I like whatever you're looking for!"
Darker smiled awkwardly, he wanted to close the team and talk, but Lady Alexia disagreed: "Dark, don't go." Wait until I'm done. What you just said was great!"
"Thank you, Auntie. ”
"Good individuals attract a lot of the opposite sex, charisma, or violence — well, it's all the same anyway, a lot of the opposite sex. ”
Duck was sweating profusely, and when he said this, he no longer regarded his son as a human being.
"I've heard all of your conversations, George, and if that girl is okay, it might as well be an alternative—just like I picked your father back then. ”
Duck sweated: "Auntie, that, why don't you talk first?"
"No, you have to listen, because you're good too. Isabella is a good girl, what the queen of Araka is, and what is the name of that pretty little spider, oh, Enya, it's pretty good. ”
George was snickering unkindly.
"Tell you, son, what are you laughing at! Listen, there's nothing important on the Iron Tooth Village anymore, after your father died, the Illuminati thought I was just an old woman who knew a few simple spells, and relaxed the surveillance, and I was able to control all the guys here. ”
George was not reassured: "You have to be careful." ”
"I'm most familiar with the human brain, don't worry—so, I've left a clone in Iron Tooth Village now, and my real body is on my way to Beihai, son, you've been under too much pressure lately, and you can't be both a brain and a fist. Leave the alchemical research and enemy analysis to me, how about you do it?"
"That's great!"
"What I'm saying is, have a good relationship with other girls. ”
"Uh, I don't like her. ”
"Lack of understanding. It would be nice to talk about it. Also, why don't you ask if you have questions?"
"Huh?"
"As long as it's a living being, just ask me if you don't understand. Do you think you can solve everything? If it weren't for Riley and Isabella reaching out to me, I wouldn't have known your predicament. George, Dack, listen up, there are two kinds of fragments that keep you scratching your heads, one is the ice mayfly, and the other is the snail. None of them are products of natural evolution, but powerful artificial lifeforms. ”
"Artificial?" a flash of inspiration flashed in Dark's mind, "Atalantis?"
"Bingo, Duck has a successful answer! Atalantis has sunk to the bottom of the sea, but part of its system is still functioning. The North Sea Monster, the guard of Atalantis, of course, will continue to perform its duties, and the Ice Ephemera and the Bayonet Snail are its knives and swords. ”
George was incredulous: "I know the fall of Atalantis, and I know the relationship between the North Sea Troll and it. However, for thousands of years, the North Sea Monster and the humans in the North Sea region have been at peace, so why would they take the initiative to attack now?"
"There are two possibilities, either the human range has expanded and entered its patrol area, or there has been some dangerous change within Atalantis and it has received new orders. ”
Dark's scalp tightened: "If it's the latter......"
"Either humanity will withdraw from the ocean forever, or," Lady Alexia gritted her teeth, "never die!"
