Chapter 23: Détente

"Murby, have you heard?"

"Who?"

"Hawkeye. Alexey put down the briefing in his hand and shrugged, "If you haven't heard of it, forget it." ”

"I'm a little impressed, what's wrong with him?" Lan Meng lay weakly on the bench, she held her head as high as she could, and happened to see Alexei take off the robe hanging on the wall, "Are you going to start again? Give up, my blood is nothing special." ”

"Not special though. Alexey wrapped his belt around his belt, his fingers busily clasping the copper buttons, and his steps kept moving. He walked up to Lan Meng and removed the hanging bottle, which contained about two hundred milliliters of freshly collected blood, "But it works." ”

"I don't know what happened to the Olmea gem and your blood, but it did melt. ”

Alexei rolled up the sleeve of his right arm, and there was a wound on it that had not been scabbed over for a long time: "My blood doesn't work." ”

"That's because you didn't receive the grace. ”

Lan Meng looked at Alexei with a bitter face and reconnected the syringe to the mouth of another empty glass bottle: "Didn't you try it? My brother's blood can't induce the effect." ”

"yes, that's why you're worth looking into. ”

Alexei turned his head and smiled at the girl, but there was no trace of a smile in those dark eyes: "I won't let you die, until I find the strangeness in your blood." ”

"You haven't said it yet, what's wrong with Murby?" Changing the topic casually, Lan Meng tried to move his fingers in frustration, but saw that the hands that were pale due to lack of blood did not move.

During the time she was trapped, her mind seemed to have stopped at her neck. The body below the neck has been blocked by runes, and is no longer free from her control.

Days like this are more painful than death.

"He's dead. Alexei returned to the bench with the freshly collected blood, dripping it into a container of pure water, and then using a switch to control the flow rate to observe how well the different concentrations of the blood-water mixture reacted to the Olmea gemstones.

"I knew it. Lan Meng was not surprised by this, "That's really a happy thing." ”

She looked at the magic lamp above her head, watching the dazzling light continue to hang on it, stinging her eyes.

Sourness, followed by a moist sensation that overflows the entire eye socket.

"Hey. The girl shouted at Alexey, "Kill me." ”

"Don't worry, there will be a day. Alexei hurriedly scribbled a few strokes in his lab notes, "but not now." ”

"I'm bored, you've got to find me something to do. Lan Meng closed his eyes and felt the feeling of tears running down his cheeks, "These days, even ...... I had to ask Dora for help, and I was very uncomfortable. ”

"You're all women. Alex replied without replying, "If I didn't help you solve it, you should be grateful." ”

"Thank you so much. Lan Meng then complained again, "I haven't taken a shower for many days, and I'm about to stink." ”

"Then it stinks, I don't care anyway. ”

"I care! ”

"Okay. Alexei snapped his fingers, and a clear liquid formed on top of Blue Dream's head.

"Wait!" the girl sensed that something was wrong, "and you're going to give me this bath?"

"Otherwise, if you have any other requirements, let's mention them together. ”

"Forget it, can you ask Dora to help me? I don't want to get drenched in cold water, I'm going to catch a cold. ”

"Then drink some anti-sickness. ”

"It would be nice if I could die, but I don't want it just to make me uncomfortable and I can't die. If you don't want a curse in my blood, you'll have to do what I want. Lan Meng pursed his lips, and the dissatisfaction in his heart floated on the surface, "If I'm not happy, the divine grace will leave me, and my blood will be invalid." ”

"What you said is true?" This time, Alexei finally stopped his busy hands, he held the two test tubes, and looked at the girl with doubts in his eyes, "Then judging by your temper, it should have been invalid a long time ago." ”

He thought for a moment, put down the test tube, and pulled the bell at the door with his magic: "Dora will be here soon, you have a request to make her meet you, but remember, I listen to everything you say, don't try to escape." ”

"yes, psychopath. I see, I won't talk nonsense. Lan Meng nodded wistfully, and then looked at the closed door with some expectation. She had calculated that Dora, who was summoned by Alexey, would usually be able to reach the second basement floor in two minutes, which would not take long.

The air in the lab was just too oppressive. This is not because the air he breathes is different from the outside world, but the mage who continues to release malice has seriously affected Lan Meng's mood.

She thought she could hold on longer, but she didn't expect that she couldn't stand it after only staying motionless for two days, so she had to give in and take the initiative to talk to Alex, so that she could find a few reasons to go out and let off the wind from time to time.

As for running away, it was hard to even think about it, she had tried to ask for help, but the response was invariably rejection or even ridicule.

Yes, the Black Stork gang that she used to think was pretty good, Joannis......

A damned lackey who has abandoned all dignity and is willing to be a slave to a master is nothing more than an apprentice's bone gnawed with joy.

Rubbish.

She spoke silently in her heart, and even the girl herself didn't know who she was scolding.

"Jingle Bell. ”

The bell rang at the door.

"Come in. Alexey finished speaking, and the lock on the door clicked, and it automatically spread out to both sides.

Dora saluted the mage's back before walking behind Blue Dream and whispering to the girl for a request.

"I need to take a shower and ask for a plate of snacks and tea. The corner of her eye was staring at Alexey's back as she spoke, but until she finished speaking, Alexey didn't react in the slightest.

So she emboldened: "The snack is the strawberry cake from the cake shop on Kossard Street, preferably with a few cookies, and as for black tea, I want to drink southern tea." ”

"But......" Dora, like Blue Dream, stared at Alexey's back, "I have to ask for your consent." ”

"Leave him alone, he agreed. ”

"Go buy it for her. The magic swept over the purse pinned to the belt, and several tasu with delicate irises landed on Dora's hand, "The rest is yours." ”

"Thank you. ”

Dora clenched the coin in her hand and saluted the mage again.

"Don't thank him, that's what he's supposed to do. Lan Meng's rare mood improved a little, and he showed her first smile in recent days at Dora, "Come, take me out." ”

"Wait. ”

Just after Dora struggled to get Blue Dream into a wheelchair, Alexey suddenly spoke up.

"You want to go back?"

"Nope. Alexei turned his head, stretched out his hand, and something suddenly flew out of the cloth bag in the distance, which was held in the mage's palm, "I just wanted to remind you that you only have half an hour to rest, it's a quarter past one in the afternoon, remember to come back before two o'clock." ”

"Dora......" he deliberately dragged out the last note, which sounded like a warning.

Dora's face was stunned, and she unconsciously took a step back and said, "Yes, my lord." ”
