Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 27 God's Gift
The Fillies' quarters had been noisy since early in the morning, and it was clear that yesterday's hangover had not affected Ella in any way.
"I heard that yesterday the lads of Garniro were with Leanne to send the twins back." Ella laughed playfully and leaned over to Lillian's side, "And it's still one person holding one, imagine that picture, it's a family of four-"
"Ella!" Lillian yelled at her, "I have nothing to do with that idiot, do you expect me to drag those two guys back who slept like dead pigs by myself?" I don't want to! β
Ignoring the protest against the twins, who had been likened to dead pigs, Lillian snorted and sat down in her chair with her legs crossed.
"But I heard that Ganillo was in a good mood when he left."
Ella said pointedly, and Lillian's eyes widened.
"Was he in a good mood when he left? After I told him that my feelings for him had long since worn out in the past 10 years? β
"If it were an ordinary person, his reaction would only show that he was happy that he had finally unloaded a burden." Reins smirked and said, "But...... Unfortunately, since Ella will react this way, it only means that he has no intention of giving up pursuing you. And we had to consider that the other person might be the one to take over our aftermath for Leanne. β
"You-"
"It's time for breakfast!"
Elion smiled and brought Filly's breakfast out, interrupting a new round of verbal battles that might erupt. Other bases have support staff such as cooks and cleaning staff, but the Fillies are not up to the fact that they prefer to do it themselves.
"Sister Rhine hurry up and finish breakfast and go to the tripartite meeting, it doesn't seem good to be late for the first meeting."
The girl suggested worriedly, and the client decided to listen to her advice. The first time I did a good job, and then the next few times...... Ha, we'll talk about it then.
Yes, there is a meeting early this morning, and the content of the meeting is the purpose of the presence of the unprofessional clergyman yesterday.
When Rhines walked into the conference room in the common area, Jura, Gail, Huck and Hua Shao were already discussing something.
"Good morning, am I late?"
The mercenary walked up to them and sat down on the side of the table.
"No, it's not time yet." Yura smiled and said, "How was your rest yesterday?" β
"Not bad, right?" Reins stretched, "And the surrounding environment of the station is very good, and it also has an independent space, so I can't think of anything if I ask for more." β
"Apaya would be happy to hear you say that, right?" Hua Shao said with a smile, "After all, it was a project that he designed and built himself. β
Reinse looked away unnaturally, she thought that at most the engineer was involved in the design drawings and other steps, but it turned out that he actually built it himself?
"That was the last day he started, and if he was sincere, shouldn't he have started on the first dayβ"
Huck's disdainful voice was suddenly cut off, and Hua Shao continued to look at Reins sincerely with an expression that had never happened before.
"You know, he was so stuffed with questions that he didn't finally free up until the last day, and he didn't do anything but that all day."
"And Apaya also used some of the family's forbidden technology, which was very surprising when I found out." Yura joined the conversation, her tone sounding heavy and serious.
"What forbidden technology? And what will he be subjected to-"
Reins subconsciously asked a rhetorical question, and then saw the relaxed and happy expressions on their faces - it definitely didn't look like something was wrong.
"Did I just say banned?" Yura blinked, her expression showing that she was definitely not unintentional, and her tone changed very noticeably, "I may have said it wrong, I mean that it can only be used by the highest level of clearance." And those technologies were originally invented by Apaya, and no one can blame him for using them, so don't worry. β
Looking at Yura and Hua Shao's expressions, Reines's mood became subtlely complicated. Overnight, these people seem to have reached some kind of agreement, and there is always a hint of some ambiguous relationship in the words......
"I'm not worried about himβ"
"It's been maintained, has the time passed?" A blonde man in overalls suddenly appeared through the side door of the conference room, "Rhines has arrived?" β¦β¦ It seems that the time is just right. β
"Wait......" Reins didn't care about the other party's rather natural calling her name, she was already shocked by the fact that the other party would appear here, "Why are you here?" β
"Why can't I be here?" Apaya tilted her head, "They told me to come...... Didn't you receive the message? β
"Well, that's what Mr. Hemiria asked? This morning he suddenly said that he hoped to be able to get Apaya over for the meeting. Apaya arrived early just now, so he stopped by to maintain the equipment in the conference room. Jura explained, "Didn't Reins receive this notice?" β
Reins grinded her teeth.
"Hemmie Re Yaβ"
"In! I'm coming! The clergy appeared in front of them with an overly wide smile, "What's wrong?" Did Reines miss me? You don't need to call me so hard, huh? Even if you just meditate in your heart, I'll be there right awayβ"
Smofa kept his smile shut, and the blade against his neck showed that the ease in his smile had completely vanished.
"We're in a conference room, so it's not appropriate to use weapons like this." "And now that you're free to move," he complained half-truthfully, "...... Why do you still use that scythe? β
"Obviously, Hemiria." The mercenary said grimly, "I don't want to be near you, it makes me feel sick." β
"Whew." After the scythe was withdrawn, Smoker clutched his chest, "You hurt my heart, my dear sweet-"
"If you dare to continue playing your tricks and not doing business, Hermiria." Reins threatened softly, "I'm going to tell you everything you say and everything you've done hereβ"
"Oh, don't, don't tell the priest, I'll be punished, he's been looking at me for a long time." Smofa immediately sat down on the other side of the table, "I swear to the creator god that I'll just get down to business. β
Appaya sat down next to the mercenary, who didn't notice. She just looked at the clergy and narrowed her eyes, she wasn't trying to say about the priest, but ......
The Church believes in the creator god of Olotha, yes, not the goddess of Imoryla, who preserves the vitality of the continent, so when they swear by the creator god, it represents their serious and serious sincerity.
Hopefully, then, he'd better have an explanation afterwards, or she wouldn't mind educating the clergy for someone.
"Ahem." Smofa cleared his throat, "So, let me explain the ultimate purpose of my tripβ'God's Gift'. β
"'A gift from God'?" Reins asked, "If you're looking for a 'gift', you shouldn't come here, but you should go to a ruin, or a place with some special reaction...... Unless you want to say it, that 'boon' is in Morfi's base. β
"It's worthy of Rhine, such a sharp reaction." Smofa happily admired, "That 'God's Gift' is indeed in Morfi's base, I only surmised it to be here, but when I walked in yesterday, I felt it. β
"You feel it?!" Rhines slapped the table, she looked very eager to take the other person by the collar and question, "I can't believe that such a thing exists in such a crowded place and you have the leisure to delay until now!" β
"Excuse me?" Huck interrupted their argument β in fact, Rhines unilaterally, "Allow me to ask, what do you mean by 'God's gift'?" β
"'God's gifts' are items that have been used or carried by some gods who have been handed down thousands of years ago." "If you want to talk about their own effects," Smoker gently explains...... Actually, that's not a 'gift.'" It brings calamity and misfortune, so people in the church need to recycle it. β
"So, it really exists?" Hua Shao said thoughtfully, "I have read the relevant records, but I thought that they were just some kind of existence similar to spiritual sustenance, and the records also said that they would bring good luck and strength. But I have never understood how this kind of thing should be owned. β
"The so-called 'God's Gift' is an item left over from the battle between the current Goddess faction and the Demon King faction among the gods in the past, and people in the past thought it was a 'gift', so it was given such a name." Smofa made a gesture of prayer, "but...... Unfortunately, those items were stained with the blood of the gods left behind by the war and the hatred of the gods on both sides, so they could only bring about the continuation of the war. You may have power for a short time when you get it, but your mind will gradually become impregnated with the desire to kill, and eventually it will become a machine that only kills. β
Rhine's hand twitched slightly, and Apaya, who was sitting next to her, was keenly aware of this.
"Actually, I have always been able to vaguely feel that there is such a 'gift' in Morfi's base." Touching his chin, Smofa said, "But I can't just talk about it, and I can't come to visit you recklessly. Even if I get acquainted with you later, I'm not sure if I'll actually be allowed to tell you about these thingsβuntil Rhines allies with you. β
"I still can't believe that your priest should let you deal with the 'gifts' that may exist." Reins smirked sarcastically, "If anyone in the meantime gets their hands on that thing, it's unimaginable consequences - it could have been even obtained." β
"If someone gets it and starts using it, I'll have an excuse to intervene." When the 'gifts' are used, they begin to exude an aura that the people of the church cannot ignore, and even if I don't want to come, the priest will rush me over. "So I'm sure at least this 'bounty' hasn't been used." β
"So, in what way does Mr. Hermiria want to find this 'gift'?" Jura asked, "You said it only emits that aura when it's used, do you mean it's almost impossible to find?" β
"I still have a little bit of my personal stunt, right? Otherwise, how could he survive under the hands of that harsh priest...... Ahem, I'd like to be able to get some exploration of the Murphy base, accompanied by a few of them, of course. And, in recovering the Gifts, I need your help. β
When the clergy talk about business, they are finally able to keep their attitude serious.
