Soaking in a cloudy liquid, Fiona is reaching her limit.

The shift changer patted her on the shoulder and signaled that she should go up.

Fiona took one last look at the behemoth in front of her, handed over the plumbing instrument in her hand to her successor, and then quickly ascended.

As soon as they came out of the water, two wizard apprentices respectfully stepped forward and handed over two blankets.

As soon as the two blankets were unfurled, they revealed a dense network of leech-like bugs inside.

Fiona frowned slightly. Even though she had experienced it several times, she still didn't like the feeling of being lying on her stomach and absorbing moisture from these bugs.

But you can't do that. Other wiping and bathing methods do not recycle the fluid from the body and do not contaminate it.

Fiona closed her eyes and let the two apprentices wrap the towel in front of and behind her.

In an instant, the mouths of hundreds of leeches on the towel began to suck her body.

Fiona closed her eyes, trying to ignore the tingling itch coming from her body.

Ten minutes later, the two apprentices removed the blankets, and the bugs on them were all fat, and Fiona was completely clean.

She went to change her clothes.

The wizard apprentice hurriedly hung up the blanket, and then carefully used tweezers to pick the white and fat bugs one by one into the crucible.

When the crucible is filled with worms, the other person starts heating the crucible with a natural fire. The bugs inside soon began to melt like butter. From a pot of wriggling bugs to a pot of milky liquid. There is also a thin insect coat floating on it.

The wizard's apprentice uses a glass stirring rod to shred the thin cloak of cicada's wings. Finally, the liquid inside the crucible is even more turbid.

Once the liquid had cooled slightly, they poured it back into the pool that Fiona had just dived into.

This minimizes the waste of turbid liquids in the pool.

By this time, Fiona had already arrived on the second floor to report to Murrich.

"The situation of the female worm is not very good, and I am afraid that she will not be able to lay eggs in a short time."

Murrich's two telescope-like eyes protrude and retract.

"The mother worm may be regaining consciousness." He kept turning the blotting pen in his hand, letting the ink inside be flung onto the table, "We need more Facelings. At least a complete one is required. ”

Fiona immediately suggested, "The last person we saw with Wizard Thor was probably a Faceling. He seems to know me, and I can go and lure him over. ”

Murridge smacked his lips, "It's a pity." You don't know, he's just a Faceling's soul occupying a nice container to move around. Facelings' souls are rarer, but of little use to our experiments. ”

Fiona bowed her head, undisguised disgust on her face, "But maybe he'll know the whereabouts of the other Facelings." ”

"It's a pity that the Facelings have very little contact with each other, and most of them are alone."

"Then you can give it a try."

"Oh, Fiona, you know, he's Thor's man. The Speaker has not given up on wooing Thor yet. ”

Fiona raised her head again and said stubbornly, "What the Speaker needs is Wizard Thor, not his slave. If Wizard Thor has any grievances, we can compensate for it. If he's still not satisfied, I'm at his disposal. ”

Murridge threw the quill pen in his hand onto the table and leaned back in his chair, "Why bother? Fiona, we can also look elsewhere. ”

Fiona clenched her fists, "I don't want to spare any Faceling. You know, they killed my father! ”

Murridge sighed, "Whatever you want." After all, you're the one best to breed the mother and eggs. ”

With permission, Fiona immediately sent Thor and Agu to investigate their whereabouts.

Thor, they couldn't find it, and as a result, Agu's whereabouts couldn't be found.

After smashing a table, Fiona decides to go to Agu herself.

It took a few days for Fiona to stay outside Byron's house, and finally waited for Agu, who was going out alone.

She immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to say, "Have we met?" ”

When Agu saw Fiona, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to get away from her.

But Fiona took a sideways step in front of Agu again.

"You called my name the last time we met. What do you pretend not to know now? I've checked, and Iskepper, where you and the Byron wizard came a year ago, had never been to Olga before, and had never seen me. I guess there's only one thing I have to do with the Facelings, so I'm here to talk to you. Fiona stopped Agu, and a series of words came out of her mouth, not giving Agu a chance to escape at all.

Agu had no choice but to stand still, "Fiona, I have to complete the task assigned by my master now." We'll talk about that later. ”

Fiona heard that it was Saul and finally got out of the way.

Agu hurriedly lowered his head and bypassed her, looking like he didn't dare to look directly.

Fiona got out of the way, but immediately followed.

On the second floor of the villa, Thor left the window, "She's been outside for so many days, her patience should have run out, let Agu walk her again." ”

Penny landed on Thor's shoulder, "Brother Thor, you actually asked Agu to find Fiona, aren't you afraid that he will be too excited to see his daughter and say everything?" ”

Saul wasn't worried at all, "They know exactly what we want to do, and we know what they want to do. Agu can't say it, and it doesn't matter if he does. Moreover, Agu also needs an opportunity to have a showdown with Fiona. ”

Fiona was only five years old when she followed Agu, and the two did not separate until they were fifteen. Normally, Fiona's father should be Agu. And Agu obviously cares about this daughter of his. In the current situation, sooner or later we will have conflicts...... Let Agu choose for himself. ”

Entrusted with tasks and choices, Agu casually walked around the outside a few times, completing the so-called mission assigned by Thor, and finally was pulled back to the underground base where they first met by Fiona that night.

"Actually, you came to me to find the Facelings, right? Your experiment...... Is there a shortage of materials again? Walking in the underground base, Agu was the first to break the silence.

"You're a Faceling, too, right? I do want to know the whereabouts of the other Facelings, but if you don't want to say it, I can't do anything about it, because you're a servant of that one. Fiona continued to take Agu deeper into the base, and it was a depth that Agu hadn't entered the last time he had come.

A few wizards and apprentices can still be seen at the entrance to the base, but the further you go inside, the fewer people there become.

Agu wasn't afraid of any trap Fiona would set for him. Now that Thor was not far from him, he sent a simple signal to Thor as a consciousness sent from the black pages of his diary.

When Fiona first watched their whereabouts, Thor spotted her and deliberately waited a few days for Agu to appear.

Thinking about it, if Fiona really had something important to find Agu, it should be in a hurry by now, and it is even less likely to go around the bend.

So before Agu deliberately appeared, Sol had already agreed with Agu that if there was danger, he would immediately call Sol to take him back to the diary.

It's just that before Agu left with Fiona, he had already thought that he would not inform Thor until he had to.

It wasn't until the two of them had reached a place where there was no one around him that Agu spoke again, and this time he mustered up the courage to speak, because he knew that if he spoke, he would have to face the same old incident from many years ago.

"If you don't have to know about the Facelings, then what are you looking for me to know?"

Fiona stopped in front of a white warehouse and turned to face Agu, the corners of her mouth straight and her eyes half-narrowed, "I wonder if it was you who killed my father back then?" ”
