Chapter Twenty-Three: If You Want Payment, Find Her!

Gregory rolled up his dirty sleeves to reveal an arm that shone with a metallic glow, nay, not a human body to be exact.

"Is this a steel prosthetic made of alchemy?"

Emma opened her eyes and looked at Gregory's arms, her eyes full of incredulity.

"That's right, it's an arm made of my own blood and metal, and it's the reason why I want to tell you why I put this thing down!"

Gregory sighed, put down his dirty sleeves, and said with some heaviness: "It was this black stone that almost killed me, but fortunately I broke my right arm while the black steel was still completely eroding my whole body, otherwise I would have died a long time ago." ”

It was also the first time that Daria had heard of this kind of thing happening, and she was a little surprised and asked, "Teacher, when did this happen?"

"Eighty years ago, shortly after you returned from Norval, you gave me a thumb-sized stone, and you didn't tell me anything at the time, except that this is a very miraculous stone that can bring your royal family back to life......"

Gregory's words reminded Daria of the past, and nodded, "Yes, that's true, that's what I told you at the time, after all, I was saved by it. ”

"But you didn't tell me one thing, this kind of thing can corrupt people's flesh!" Gregory darkened his face and his voice was extremely angry, "If I hadn't found out quickly, how would I have time to listen to your nonsense now, and how could I help you forge holy clothes!"

“......”

Daria was silent for a long time before she spoke: "I'm sorry teacher, I still don't know what happened like this, I hope you can forgive me, because I don't know that Black Steel can devour people's flesh by contact." ”

Gregory waved his hand, and said in a nonchalant tone as much as possible: "I don't want you to apologize or make amends for you by saying this, I just want to remind future generations of my experience." ”

With Daria's intelligence, how could he not hear the unwillingness in his heart! To put it bluntly, if Gregory had not lost this hand eighty years ago, he would definitely have made a grand mark in the history of alchemy in the empire.

Daria felt a little ashamed of this old man, and turned her head to Mo Xuan and asked coldly, "Mo Xuan, why didn't you tell me this at that time?"

This cold tone made Mo Xuan shrink his head, and this posture seemed to have been seen before.

"Well, like you, I didn't know about it not long ago, and it was Hughes who was trapped in my body at the time who told me about it......"

"Really?"

Daria's interrogating tone made Victoria very uncomfortable, Mo Xuan is her person, why are you an outsider shouting on the sidelines!

"Do you need to report to you?

These words silenced the air around them, and everyone was silent, looking cautiously at the two women who were both strong and powerful.

When Daria heard this, she didn't speak, her beautiful eyes closed slightly, and she stared straight at the woman who scolded her.

Victoria was not good-natured, and even said that her personality was quite bad, otherwise Gregory would not have laughed at her and said that she could not marry.

Although she is now married to a wife and her temper has been somewhat restrained, it is only for Mo Xuan alone, and for those other people, Victoria is still not salty.

Now someone is scolding her husband in front of her, this is simply a provocation to her! Even if the other party is Ram, she dares to treat Mo Xuan like this, she will still return the salute without hesitation.

The two people with such a strong aura confronted each other in this place, and the momentum alone was enough to make it difficult for the others to breathe.

The two different momentum blended together, and suddenly an inexplicable wind blew in this laboratory, blowing everyone staggered.

The black steel that had originally fallen to the ground was swept up by a stream of air, and rolled to Mo Chen, who was sleeping in Flora's arms.

When the black steel touched Mo Chen's palm that fell to the ground, a crisp click sounded, and the surface of the black steel suddenly cracked, and a puff of black smoke suddenly burst out of it.

The crisp voice and the strange situation made Victoria and the two give up the confrontation between each other, and they all shifted their eyes to the piece of black steel in Mo Chen's hand.

The black mist didn't stop in front of everyone's eyes for long, and quickly disappeared into the air. Losing the black smoke inside, the piece of black steel turned into a pile of grayish-white powdery substance in the blink of an eye.

"What's going on?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, only Mo Xuan had a sudden expression of realization on his face.

At the same moment when the black steel turned into gray-white powder, Mo Chen opened his eyes and looked at the people around him sleepily.

It seems that there are two people in this laboratory that he doesn't know, and I don't know when they came in, probably after he fell asleep.

However, the black-haired man standing between Daria and the dark-green-haired woman had a familiar smell of Mochen.

What exactly it tasted like, Mo Chen couldn't remember it for a while, so according to his usual style, he immediately put this matter behind him and moved his gaze to himself.

Her body shifted in Flora's soft embrace, and then she blinked comfortably at her eyelids, which were still a little heavy.

Mo Chen's back rubbed in front of Flora's delicate plumpness, and that strange feeling suddenly appeared in Flora's heart, making Yi's heart beat wildly, but fortunately this guy didn't continue to twist his body, otherwise Flora would most likely kick Mo Chen out.

"Eh, has I taken that thing off my body?"

When he saw that the black holy clothes on his body disappeared, Mo Chen felt a burst of secret joy in his heart, and finally he didn't have to worry about pulling his pants!

Thinking of this, Mo Chen showed an idiot-like smile, and his grinning mouth could even see the gums behind him, "Hehe!"

"You're awake!" Flora breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Mo Chen's idiotic laughter, "I thought you were going to sleep until tomorrow." ”

"Isn't it the next day?" After stopping his exaggerated smile, Mo Chen was also a little surprised in his heart, according to his previous sleeping habits, he usually woke up naturally at dawn.

Flora slapped the back of the guy's head angrily, "You're sleepy, look up at the clock on the wall!"

Mo Chen followed Flora's fingers and saw the clock that Oliha had just made hanging on the wall, and he was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it, it's only three hours in the morning?"

Now that the holy robe had been taken off, Mo Chen didn't want to stay here longer, so he stood up from Flora's arms and stretched his waist.

"If it's okay, then I'll go back first, it's not too early, I'm going to go back and get some sleep. Well, Flora, do you need me to give you a ride?"

Mo Chen's attitude of being like no one next to him greatly caused some people's dissatisfaction.

Gregory glared at the guy who had just woken up and was about to go back to sleep, and shouted unceremoniously: "Hey, little bastard, if I had saved you, old man, you would have died in your dreams!"

"Yes, thank you, is there anything else? If you want a life-saving reward, find this aunt, she told me to put it on!"

Mo Chen wiped away the tears that had been squeezed out of his eyes when he yawned just now, and pointed to Daria, who was still looking at Victoria.
