Section C Chapter 14: Sugar Tube (Denor)
"Thank you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Beverly was still in deep thought: "Okay, thanks for your cooperation. It's time for me to go. Come, give you some candy cubes to eat, as a reward for good children. β
Beverly fumbled underneath her skirt and pulled out a small, cylindrical bucket about the thickness of a finger from her leg ring and shoved it into Denor.
"Be careful, little brother. Beverly still joked, "I'm afraid you're being targeted by someone like me here." But they don't just ask a question and walk away like I did. Don't touch the risks that can be avoided in advance. β
As soon as she finished speaking, Beverly's body disappeared into a swirling wind. Only a stunned Derno remained.
"Hey, waitβ" Before he could react, Deerno subconsciously shouted in shock, but only an empty room was left in front of him.
The white silent barrier has also been lifted.
Beverly is gone, and Deerno's body is still unable to stand up because of the drug. Instead, it was Icetail who got rid of the spell first.
"Wow...... That woman was so punctual just now......" Bingwei's tone was as if she had lost her soul: "It's so beautiful, and there's still a vacuum under the skirt......"
"Hey, really?" asked Denor, blushing immediately.
β...... Fake. Bingwei's tone became helpless: "No way, in fact, I still think she is good-looking, but the scorpion is still almost." β
"This ...... Oh, too. Helplessly realizing that he was actually discussing this kind of topic with the scorpion in a serious way, Deerno instantly felt that something was not right: "This is not right!
"The curator is very busy over there, you can tell by listening to the voice. It's better to wait for him to come by himself, it's not dangerous here anyway. I'll help even if it's dangerous. Icetail poked his head into Beverly's used teacup and dipped his chelicera into his mouthpiece, "Hmm...... High-grade black tea, which tastes like a private collection of the curator. β
"You're embarrassed to say that you'll protect me!" Derno suddenly felt a burst of resentment: "How did you get taken down so easily just now?"
"Isn't it because of a sneak attack?" Icetail said in a heartfelt voice, "You can't change you." β
"Yes...... Never mind. Still nervous, Derno couldn't contain his worries: What should I do? I have to go back as soon as possible and tell Eddes what I heard......
Suddenly, Deenor was troubled by another wretched concern: would this kind of thing cause him a lot of unnecessary trouble? I can't even explain who this Beverly is, and what I see may not be convincing.
While Deerno complicates simple issues as always, he still takes into account the important thing, which is that Eders is not normal right now.
It stands to reason that when I usually work with him, the captain doesn't show too much abnormality. Everything is going in order. The captain only behaved a little unusually occasionally, and everything else was fine. It is said that the enthusiasm for handling official duties is even greater than ever.
Everyone thought he was just under too much pressure.
Deenor wasn't an unassertive fool, and he wasn't convinced of it just by looking at a stranger's sight at him.
Besides, why did she expect me to see something strange, and why did she completely guess all the abnormal symptoms that Captain Eders would have?
It is likely that she had investigated some of Edus's recent situation, and then devised some of the symptoms of being possessed by the humanoid cold purely based on them. She may have wanted to entice me to take a seat with the captain's strange behavior due to stress.
To put it bluntly, those questions are as ambiguous as the words of fortune tellers, and they are extremely versatile. obviously didn't calculate anything, but it can make people think that he is really clever.
Here's what she said: Your captain...... Is there a period of time when your memory becomes particularly poor and you occasionally have an inexplicable temper? And you suddenly fall into worry, frustration, and reminiscence, and even feel that your time is running out? And then you feel like you've seen someone who has died or a close friend who has parted ways?
Anyway, there was nothing else to do for the time being, so Deenor had to continue to think about it: if you think about it along this line......
Forehead...... Something seems wrong.
...... Thinking about it this way, not all the symptoms she raised corresponded exactly. It can't be ignored that Beverly's strength just shown can completely allow her to spy on a person without revealing any whereabouts.
Forget it, don't want to. My head hurts...... Dereno had finally passed the strength of the medicine a little, and now he was looking up in a daze: the medicine was not strong, but it would take a while to pass.
By the way, the letter...... Hurriedly took the letter back in his hand first, Deerno tore it up, and when he saw that there was still no response, he was relieved: It's okay.
I'll wait for the curator to come and see what it's about.
"That's right, Denor. Icetail fiddled for a moment and pulled out another lollipop;
"Forget it. Deerno was still angry: "Why are you like a scorpion?! That situation is absolutely weird, right?
"Your world in Eborn is so complicated, I don't understand it very well. Icetail licked the lollipop and climbed onto Derno's head and stung him, "Besides, even if you let me discuss, I can't say anything." β
"Can you stop stinging me?!" Pulling it off his head in a complaining voice, Deenor exclaimed weakly, "You basically can't help at all." What else to talk about protecting me, it's nonsense. β
"Of course I can help!" Icetail said dissatisfied. However, in the next second, his attention was drawn to something else: "By the way, she also gave you candy cubes to eat." I'll try it. β
"Don't just eat what the man gave you, okay?" Derno suddenly felt unsafe, "She's suspicious no matter how she looks, so- hey, did you hear me?"
The ice tail didn't bird him at all, and directly lifted the lid of the sugar bucket and poured out a small green candy. However, just as it tried to put it in its mouth, it suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Derno cast a strange gaze, "Is there anything special?"
The candy cube was shiny and had a dreamy sheen.
"That...... It doesn't seem like sugar. Strangely, Icetail picked it up and brought it to his eyes: "It seems to be ...... Agate crystals. β
