"Is this the machine?" Smofa exclaimed, "Such a brilliant idea...... The perfect combination of technology and magic will make the priest very happy, and he has always hoped that the family and the mercenaries can return to the cooperative relationship of a thousand years ago. ”

"I've experimented in the afternoon, and remote operation is possible, but it will affect the fineness of the operation. Rheinland and I have made some targeted improvements to its defenses, and now I'm not sure if it will be able to meet your requirements, and this needs to be tested by you. ”

Appaia looked at it, chewing candy in her mouth - given by Reins, he used to keep some in the lab, but he put them all in his bedroom the other day, so there was no reserve in the lab. So he would subconsciously gnaw on his finger when he was studying in the morning, and this made the mercenary look down, so he grabbed some candy from her bedroom and brought it to him.

This also gave him an unexpected surprise again, even when they were in the Cold War before, the mercenaries still kept these and did not throw them away, he knew that the mercenaries did not like this type of hard candy, and among the sweet foods, the other party preferred the softer ones.

The people present looked sideways at the affectionate name—all the other chiefs were here except for Sanger—and Rhines kept her face expressionless. Her correction was completely useless, and she couldn't threaten the Engineer like she did with Hermiria, it was pointless.

"I think it should be able to deal with a 'bounty' that has not yet been contracted by human blood." Smofa looked at the machine carefully, "But just to prevent accidents, maybe we should experiment with it." ”

Slima stripped his upper body down to a sleeveless gown, and he moved his arms before noticing that everyone was watching him.

"Hey, ladies, you're just going to see me undress without feeling shy?" Murfa said sadly, "I'm a man anyway. ”

"I'm amazed that you are aware of this, Hermiria." Reins said lazily, "I thought you had always thought of yourself as a girl, after all, you have been doing this since you were 10 years old." ”

Yura and Hua Shao covered their mouths and chuckled lightly, and the clergyman's faces were very subtle when they were exposed.

"Are we really childhood friends, Reins?"

"Apparently not, Hermiria, I've corrected you countless times, but your barren brain can't remember that you and I have never had the kind of friendly relationship that 'childhood sweethearts have no guesses'." Reins smirked, "In order to make you impressed by this, I can't help but tell you the facts directly every time to clear your mind." ”

Silence gave up arguing with a gloomy face, and he prayed quietly as he clutched the cross necklace on his chest, causing his body to begin to glow with some kind of golden light.

"The strength of my attacks and the way I magic mimic the effects of the Gift." "So we can intuitively feel if the machine can withstand it." ”

Those golden points of light were concentrated in his fist, and he looked cautiously at the machine in front of him, and Apaya also subconsciously held her breath to observe what was about to happen.

The punch was swung out - it didn't even seem to have any force, it was just thrown out casually - but it erupted in violent shockwaves the moment it touched the machine, causing Reins to quickly open a shield of magical power to ensure that everyone but Hermiria was not affected.

"Hemiria!" Reins yelled, "You should tell me which 'gift' you have chosen before you do this!" ”

"Oh-ahem, I'm sorry." Hermiria coughed in the dust, "This result also surprised me...... Well, I saw that it did some defense against the 'bounty', and I couldn't help but want to try it a little more intensely...... It's not that serious, it's just a B2-level 'gift'. ”

"'It's just B2'?" Reinth quipped, "Oh my God, I won't say anything about B1, but you chose B2?" Are you going to destroy us too? You should be thankful that this driving range is wide enough, otherwise I would have chosen to cover those aftermaths with yourself. ”

"Hey, I've got it." Smoker protested, "I'm sure you'll be able to save them, that's why I'm doing this!" ”

"I am so grateful for your trust, Mr. Church." Reins scoffed, "So, what is the result of your experiment, sir?" ”

All I can say is ...... dust that gradually cleared up, allowing everyone to see the machine clearly, "it was perfect." Apaya, you are the chief engineer of Molfi. ”

The machine did not appear to have suffered any serious trauma, except for slight dents and scratches from the impact. Apaya smiled with satisfaction as she stepped forward to carefully inspect the performance of the machine itself.

"Performance hasn't been affected too much either." He declared, "Although some damage was unavoidable, it did not affect its movement and communication systems, and the puppets within the machine were not affected. ”

The leaders glanced at each other, seeing the ease in each other's eyes.

Since Apaya's machine can do this kind of thing, there should be no problem with the recovery of the "bounty" this time. After all, the level of damage that the "Gift" can bring is such that they have no way to deal with it without pressure - the tragedy of Toarosia is there, and no one wants to be the second Toarohia.

Apaya stepped aside and exhaled softly into a place where no one was, frowning as if disgruntled.

"Are you worried?" I don't know when I walked to his side, Reins turned her head to look at him, "Actually, it's not that serious, you made it yourself, you should be a little more confident." And in the face of the effects of the 'bounty', the machine can only suffer this level of damage, which is already a very good result. ”

"Are you complimenting me?" Apaya's eyes lit up as she looked at Reins, "But I really should trust it a little more, it's a machine I made with your help." ”

Just now I was worried that he was disappointed by this unsatisfactory result, and he really had a problem with his brain. Reins rolled her eyes inwardly. This engineer is already like this today, how can he make his fault-finding mistake again.

Just as she was about to return to the crowd to hear what to do next, a warmth enveloped her body.

“…… It's nice to have you there. ”

Her body was immediately released, so fast that she thought she was hallucinating, but the residual heat and the expression on the other person's face when she turned around showed that she had indeed been embraced by the other person just now.

"You ......" Reins looked into his eyes and unconsciously took a step back, "what the hell do you want to do......"

Everything today could be explained by the Engineer's stimulus, some kind of curse she didn't recognize, or whatever...... But there was no way to convince her.

There was no way to convince her to give up the little bit in her heart, guessing that the other party might also like her own ideas.

As long as the other party gives her an answer, she can find a way to make herself die. She thought. A person who dared to give such an ambiguous answer in front of Hua Shao - even if he said that in order to let Hua Shao put his mind at ease and stop having a close friend like his burden-

"Don't you know?" The light brown eyes looked at her calmly, "You have the answer in your heart, but you don't choose to believe it." ”

What is the answer? Reins tugged at the corners of her mouth. Such a vague answer...... Didn't it make her even more unable to make up her mind?

No, no, Reins. You have an even more important reason for you to reject all of this—

"I don't know what you're talking about." Reins lowered her eyes, "It's time for us to go back, Hemiria should be talking about the next step-"

"What are you running away from?" The other party didn't let her go, "Is it because of 'gift'?" ”

Judging from the fact that Apaya looked at her worriedly after asking and closed her mouth unconsciously, her face must have been very ugly.

Reins thought to herself, then spoke with difficulty: "Who told you that it was a 'gift'...... What do you know? ”

The blonde man was a rare hesitant.

"Nobody told me that it was my own feelings." He finally said calmly, "I don't know anything, so I'm asking you now." ”

The mercenary took two more steps back.

"I'm not going to tell you."

Her face turned pale and she resolutely walked in the direction of the others. The Engineer stayed where he was, rubbing his hair in frustration for a few seconds, looking like he was complaining about himself.

"Reins, are you really not going?"

Jura looked at the mercenary who was about to return to her station and asked suspiciously.

"Anyway, it's a matter between Morfi and the church, if there's anything to come back to me." Rhines waved her hand indifferently, "And as Hermiria said, the Fillies have a special physique and are more sensitive to 'gifts', so I need to go back and watch them." ”

"But ......"

"Then I'll look for you when we need you, and I can't help but come then." Hua Shao smiled and hugged Yura, "Go back and have a good rest, it's been hard today." ”

Reins nodded and went straight back to her station.

Filly's station was silent, as if everyone was sleeping, or there was no one in the station at all.

The moment she walked into the living room, she raised her hand and grabbed the collars of the two imps as if they had been pulled out of thin air.

"Wow——!" The twins shouted, "Found out!" Terrible! ”

"Who is more terrible?" Rhines bared her teeth gloomily, "Hiding in the shadows and trying to plot against me?" Don't want to think about the aspect of assassination that I'm most proficient in? ”

When she threw the twins onto the couch, everyone else popped up as well.

"Let's just say that Mida and Mita can't do it." Imi grumbled, "We have to go into hiding......

"Mida and Mita have been restless today, huh?" Ella leaned against Bora and said, "I don't know why, I haven't been at ease since just now. But I've been feeling a little flustered today. ”

"That's why I'm coming back now, guys." Reins looked around the living room, "Everybody's here, right?" Very good. Hermiria had discovered that there was a 'boon' in Morfi, so don't run around until he's done dealing with it. ”

Ella's face turned pale for a moment.
