Chapter 37: The Half-Breeds of the City of Lyberni
Lazor had a dream, and in a daze, he saw a colleague standing by his bed, singing for him, singing the ballad "The End of the Journey". But in fact, he didn't hear any sound in the dream, only saw his colleague's mouth moving, but for some reason he just knew that it was singing, and it happened to be that song.
He thought to himself that this was the scene his mother had dreamed of back then, but Aunt Sara had been replaced by a colleague, and he was not a mother. And I don't understand how my colleague knew about this song. The picture in front of him is actually very weird, and this colleague has just died in the line of duty, and he is a member of the second team that was completely wiped out in the jungle a few days ago. But for some reason, he didn't have the slightest fear of this scene, but was just confused.
Then he woke up.
When he awoke, he was lying in his room, and he saw the witch's happy smile, and heard her severely prolonged "You are awake".
It seems that he is still delirious. After a few strokes, the world returned to normal slightly. When he could see it again, the witch had already walked to the table and was refining the elixir for him.
He tried a few more times, trying to clear up the previous events. Soon I remembered the battle, and I also remembered the demon god I saw in that world.
In this way, I still lost.
He accepted the result at once. Indeed, the gap between himself and that person is not small, and it is normal to lose.
"Great, there's a test subject - oh no, there's a patient who can try my newly brewed elixir." The witch brought a bowl of medicinal soup to him: "You drink this, it will be much better if you drink it~~"
Razol did not hesitate, drank it all, and made her so happy that she continued to be busy. And he sat on the bed and recalled the dream he had just had. All the details, all the tiny fragments, were so clear that I couldn't figure out why I dreamed like this.
Does this indicate that he is about to die? He didn't feel the slightest bit uneasy, even when the word "death" came to his mind, he was still calm, and he let the peace swallow up his heart.

Leaving his partners, Ye Fan went straight to the North District.
Along the way, I can see that the Earl's Court has become very lively, the servants are arranging the front and back of the party, the banquet performers are also in full swing rehearsals, only the nobles are still leisurely, looking for useful friendships.
Passing by a long corridor with a clear wind, he also saw the soldier he had duel with yesterday, who seemed to be called Gwenruk?
Gwenruk grimaced, ignoring the nobles as he passed by, but stopped when he saw him.
"......" Ye nervously lowered his posture, for fear that this person would make some retaliatory moves.
Fortunately, although Gwenruk seemed to be unwilling to defeat yesterday, he did not do anything excessive, but gave him a military salute with a serious face.
“???” Ye is a little confused, what is this operation?
Does it mean respect? Embarrassed, it can't be a lie, right? This person doesn't seem to be so upright during the duel, right? Isn't it better to do something to react?
So he twisted his way and returned a military salute to Gwenruk. Gwenruk's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the unpleasant voice next to him.
"Hehe, a lowly wild seed, will still do these flower work?"
At first, Ye Fan and Gewenluk thought that they were talking about them, because saying bad things in front of others was a common operation of these nobles. But if you look closely at the two nobles who are speaking, their eyes are always looking outward, and they do not see them coming.
They also looked outside, and saw a young girl standing in the garden, pruning the flowers.
The blades of the "click" come together, and the green branches and leaves detach from the blood-red petals, slowly falling into the bottle in the slow-moving world. The movements are gentle and delicate, without a trace of superfluity.
The girl's hair was dark or light purple, which was also unique among the people Ye Fan had seen, and he immediately remembered who it was. It was the maiden named Stishak Lebney, whom he had seen in the courtyard the previous day, and the daughter of Menzzek Lebney, the eldest son of the Count.
Thinking of her momentum yesterday, he shuddered. Although this girl looks normal now, when she really speaks, she may become the domineering appearance of yesterday.
"Oh?" The noble lady beside her was laughing and talking badly about the girl: "Our eldest lady is still proficient in floral art?" Hehe, I haven't seen the real face, I thought it was a lady. ”
Another noblewoman had a fan on her face, but she spoke in a loud voice: "I really don't know what the Count thinks, such a wild seed will also let her into the mansion." ”
"You should ask how the eldest prince of Menzzek fell in love with that elf slut and gave birth to such a slut, hehehe."
"Haha, maybe he learned from his father, didn't the earl also have a wild seed with a civilian woman."
"It's a family after all, hahahaha."
Every sentence is inseparable from the word "wild seed", and the dialogue is so unbearable that it is hard to imagine that it comes from the mouths of two noble ladies. It can be seen from the unique ornaments on their heads that they should all belong to a family that is closer to the Lyberne family, and they should live in the mansion. Although it is only a few short sentences, it reveals a great amount of information.
The content of the conversation shocked Ye so much that he thought he had misheard it for a while. After all, the word "elf" is not often heard.
If I heard it right, this girl named Stishak was actually born to the son of Menzzek and an elf! Isn't she a human-elven hybrid? Oh, my God! It turns out that there really is such a thing! Humans, elves, two different races can really be mixed!
It's unbelievable! However, this also explains her unique hair color, which is very rare among humans, but not uncommon among elves.
Her ears were hidden in her hair, and Ye Fan couldn't see what shape they were. His curiosity had been pouring out like a flood, and he couldn't stop it.
In this torrent of countless question marks, there is also a relatively small question mark. That's what the two ladies said, that Monsieur Earl had a ...... with a commoner woman Are they talking about Mia Leburny?
This is actually a very surprising piece of information, but it is not so conspicuous compared to the elven hybrid.
"Click!"
The scissors in the girl's hand closed again and again, and the tender green branches and leaves kept falling into the bottle. There was a hint of joy on her indifferent countenance, and no one noticed.
——————————
The witch remembers seeing in the mansion that someone had planted a special elixir plant on the side of the east wall. When he was running to pick in high spirits, he saw an instrument cart parked at the east gate, and the two siblings Misiel and Risnaz were sitting on the car, accompanied by nannies, guards and others.
"Kids!" She shouted.
The children immediately saw her: "Aunt Weiqu! ”
She walked over to them. I wanted to get closer, but was blocked by two guards.
"......," she could only stand a few meters away and speak, "where are you going?" ”
"Sister Najib (nanny's name) took me and my brother to the playground to play!" Misil was very happy when he saw her: "Grandpa said that I may play with my brother at tonight's banquet, hum!" Misil doesn't like banquets! It's all grown-ups! Bad grandpa! Hate grandpa! ”
"That's ......"
"Aunt Weiqu is with us—" The little girl was interrupted by the nanny before she could finish her sentence.
The witch smiled kindly: "Sister won't go, sister still has friends here, you guys have fun in the amusement park~~"
Then she remembered the two dolls again: "Isn't little Budd Viqu with you?" ”
"......" Misil didn't know how to answer her, but the brother next to him spoke: "Mr. Weiqu is in Misil's room now, and he didn't bring it out." ”
"That's it" Witch: "Then you go and have fun, come back and sister will give you more gifts~~"
Misil's eyes lit up, but he felt guilty when he thought of the two dolls, and finally dared to whisper back, "Hmm...... Ok ......"
What a cute two children. The witch looked at the distant cart and thought to herself.
Will your future children be so cute?
————————
Kony's makeshift studio is a slightly larger room located at the northernmost end of the housing complex. In the past two days, a lot of instruments have been moved out of the magic beads, and now it looks like a research institute, and it is also a lot crowded.
When Ye Fan arrived there, there was not only Kony alone, but also Slicka. The two of them stared at the stereoscopic image and discussed something, and Slicka looked very serious.
Finding him coming, Slicka hurriedly put away the stereoscopic image, but this action only made Ye more curious about what they were discussing. After that, Slicka said to Kony, "I'll keep this thing for now," and left in a hurry.
What are they talking about? The mysterious ...... of the gods Alas, these days may be too idle, especially interested in everything. It's too unusual.
"Kony" he turned his attention back to his business, "what did you find?" ”
"Good stuff! And it's a great thing! Kony looked excited, his hand sliding over Buceros' orb interface, "By the way, how did you unlock the code?" Did Buseros tell you about it before? ”
This topic will only make him feel uncomfortable, so Ye quickly changed the topic: "It's not that difficult...... Show me what you found, seeing how excited you are in the text? ”
"Look, what did I find in his orb?" The interface kept sliding, and at the last burst of light flashed, a spherical object appeared in front of them: "I announce that this year's Iron Kroni Award no longer belongs to Kiniel, but to this brother named Buceros!" ”
The small sphere is rippled with elements, like many magnetic particles, but when it is stable, the surface is as smooth as jade, and there is no trace of separation.
"What is this?"
Kony: "I call it the 'Sage Ball.'" You can think of it as something like a 'wick'. But, much more awesome than those things. ”
"Is this a premium chip?" Ye: "It doesn't look like it." ”
He reached for it, but the sphere was scattered into elements, and his fingers went straight through it, and it didn't return to a ball until the hand came back, which was quite interesting to look at.
"This thing is much more powerful than the 'wick', and when Busselos designed the chip, he should have done it in the first place, and the 'wick' was just a prototype." Kony was so happy that he babbled nonsense, "How the hell did he make this thing?" It's terrible, I have goosebumps, I don't know if it's going to 'bite', hahahahaha! ”
"What do you mean?"
"Haha, I don't know how to tell you well, I'll know when I put it on."
At this time, you have to sell off...... But it doesn't matter, as long as he can resurrect Starter, he can do anything. But there was one thing he was quite curious about: "It's so powerful, why didn't Buceros use it before?" ”
"How do I know" Kony thought again, "Maybe I'm afraid there is no spare, he only has such a sage ball, and there are quite a lot of wicks." Maybe I didn't have time to make a second one. ”
"How?" Kony continued: "Everything is in place now. Put it on and wake it up. ”
"In a few days." Ye Fan: "Is it okay to hand over these things to me for safekeeping first?" ”
He hadn't figured out how to explain the events of the past few days to Starling, and he was afraid of his reaction when he heard it...... So, let's resurrect it later.
"It can be" Buceros glanced at his face again, and said cautiously: "Ye ...... There are some things that I don't know how to talk about...... Actually, you don't have to give yourself so much psychological baggage. What happened to them...... It has nothing to do with you. ”
“……”
Embarrassment, is your sorrow so obvious? Could it be that it is written on the face?
Although he also knew that it didn't matter, he couldn't help it...... Think about your own incompetence.
"By the way, what were you talking to Slicka about when I first came in?" He quickly changed the subject again.
"......" Kony: "What's that?" It's a systematic thing. I did it in the past two days. ”
"What system?"
"Do you know the magic of reenactment?"
Ye shook his head, so Kony explained: "It's the battlefield restoration demonstration magic after the fact, which can draw the scan results according to the traces left on the scene, simulate all the details of the scene on the premise of ensuring absolute accuracy, and do calculations in the form of video, which we will basically use after every mission." ”
"This system was created by the genius alchemist Kiniel," Kony added, "and was loaned to Shizuneiji for our use three years ago. Of all the cases that have been put into use so far, there have been no arithmetic errors. ”
That is, for now, it is up to one hundred percent accurate.
Ye frowned slightly: "Do you want to investigate the enemy?" ”
You're still trying to find out what information about those people...... Really dedicated, not like I am ...... Useless.
"Surely one of the reasons" Kone: "But I always think that Slicka's focus is weird......"
"What's wrong?"
"He seems to be more concerned about our own situation than about the enemy."
“?”
Kony looked around, cautious. But in fact, he didn't know what he was worried about: "You didn't come to the meeting yesterday, do you know what we did yesterday?" ”
"What?"
"Brak told us to hand over everything in the magic beads, outside the magic beads, magic weapons and so on, all of them for inspection. There is also a communication record of our orbs. ”
“???” Ye: "Why do you do such a thing?" ”
"I don't know" Kony: "Not only that, but he also asked us to retell what we experienced and did in the jungle...... Isn't it a little weird? We did this kind of thing in the review two days ago. ”
“???”
Konecrane: "It's like ......"
Ye: "What does it look like?" ”
Kony's eyes with him were very meaningful and contradictory, and he couldn't get his thoughts out of his mind.
Question marks, once again filled his brain.
