Chapter Eighty-Five: Old Friends
As the sun sets, the lobby of the clinic becomes dark.
"It's dead...... How long has it been since then?" Hearing Curt's masochistic teasing, Carl Rota's eyebrows raised unnaturally, "Even if you say that you're dead in that tone, in fact, your raven still hasn't changed. ”
He patted the head of the large bird perched on his shoulder, and the big bird flapped its wings twice. He flew off his shoulder to the platform in the distance, and with his paws he flicked with what was on the table. In a few moments, the lights were lit all over the room, and the mild light of Calrota was shaded.
"You don't remember how long it was, how can I remember?" Curt stretched lazily, muttering half amusement and half nostalgia, "At that time, I thought it was over, but I didn't expect to meet you in Osattaria after so long." ”
"I didn't expect to meet you here, I've been here for seven years...... No, it's been almost eight years, and I've met an old friend for the first time. But since you're here, that means that the calamity that always accompanies you must have come to this city......"
Carl Rota's expression was complicated, especially when he mentioned the shaved zài he called "Calamity", and his brow furrowed into a ball. This apparent expression of disgust and fear is quite rare in Gulnius, and Curt knows who the "calamity" he refers to is quite clear.
"It's a shame to say it's a calamity, isn't it? You know, she's finally started living a healthy life, and she's started going to college—and she's made a few friends. It's an incredible time, and my sister, who can't hold a weapon, is finally starting to adapt to society. ”
As if he was very satisfied with the current situation, Curt laughed softly: "Anyway...... The ravens are dead. The wings were broken, the eyes were gouged out, and even the beak of the bird was plucked out. The result of this condition is the withering of the white tree...... Carl Rota, this era is different from that time, since you have come to this new world, don't live at that time all the time, take a look at the current era. ”
When he first heard Curt's statement, Carl Rotta was only slightly stunned, but when he thought about the information revealed in Curt's words, his eyes widened in surprise: "That calamity actually went to the academy? and you too...... You two are too adaptable......"
Carlotta let out a long sigh and pulled a chair from the side to sit down, the small chair struggling to support his massive body. The furniture in this room is made to a standard size, so much so that when used by Gulnius, it is almost as small as a toy for a child.
"But I don't understand what you're saying – it's really different from then. He looked at Curt and said with some weakness, "The Repeating Mechanic Gun, this is the new weapon that has recently appeared in the hands of those thugs—it looks no different from a normal Mechanic Gun, but it is quite powerful." Even armor that can resist ordinary magic bullet shots will be pierced by light yì. ”
"I heard that it seems to have been created by a few mechanical engineering student research groups from the Imperial Institute of Technology, and many people have been killed before they have fallen into the hands of the underground forces of Catrice. That day, I was caught off guard by a little ghost who ran out of nowhere, and I was actually injured. ”
As he spoke, he lifted the cloth covering his arm, and there was still a bruise on his thick arm that had only healed for a while. Gulinius' skin is so tough that even a fine sword is hard to cut through, and it's not easy to leave a wound on the war-torn Carrota.
"I'm also old, and I've been plotted against by a few little minions, but the power of this weapon is really powerful, and it shot at me fifteen times in a row. If this kind of bullet hits an ordinary person, it can probably penetrate the human body lightly and kill people, and the empire actually let this kind of thing flow into the hands of those guys......"
This would have been beaten into a sieve if it had been put on ordinary people - Curt looked at the undecided scratches, and Carl Rota was shot fifteen times in a row before he was wounded, all thanks to the strength of Gulnius' strong body and Carl Rotta's fighting ability.
"In this way, even you will be attacked, and ordinary people will be in danger. Curt narrowed his eyes slightly at the wound that had just healed, "Although my work basically doesn't have access to such a cutting-edge weapon, it's unlikely that the new Mechanic Gun will appear in the hands of the thugs." ”
Some people do not have a very good attitude towards other races, and even if the empire adopts a policy of accommodating most of the intelligent races, it does not mean that everyone will give these "people who are not human" a good look. However, a blatant attack on a fighting race like Gulnius is simply a desperate example.
Carl Rota was a little interested in Curt's statement: "Oh...... Anyway, I took the mechanic's gun after I killed those guys, and it's still in my room. If you want it, I can give it to you, and it will be a welcome gift for old friends who have been reunited for a long time. ”
As the two chatted, it became dark, and through the window you could see the shadows cast by the tall buildings in the distance, and the night spread from the horizon as the sun set. The staggered buildings fade from the afterglow of dusk, and the old town returns to a drab black and white tone.
Located in a corner of the city of Catrice, this cluster of old buildings is a clutter of buildings and streets of different styles that combine to create a chaotic town.
"You're going to give me the loot?" Curt laughed, Gulnius valued glory, and the loot obtained in battle was a symbol of glory, "If you were to give it to me, I wouldn't say nonsense to refuse it - rather, I'm interested in it." ”
Carlotta waved his hand tiredly, and said to Curt with an uncomfortable face, "It's okay to give it to you, I really don't like this trophy." These engineering products emit an unbearable iron odor, and if it is left in my clinic, the medicine in the fermentation will become abnormal. ”
"I see, then it is better to be respectful than to obey fate. ”
Curt was not very aware of the customs of Gulnius, and was even more confused about some of their particular particulars. Since Carl Rota has decided so, he is also happy to accept his gift.
The conversation between the two gradually shifted from the past they didn't want to mention to what they saw and heard after coming to the city.
Squeak –
While the two were talking, there was the sound of the door of the ward being opened on the second floor, and Nicholas poked his head out of the staircase, and when he saw Curt and Carl Rota sitting in the hall, he hurried from the landing on the second floor to the staircase, and walked down the creaking steps.
His body looked much better, and his conspicuous injuries were covered with green mud and bandages. The arm that had been hanging down weakly had been cured, and although it was still a little less agile to move, it had clearly recovered enough to be able to use it.
Covered in wounds, Nicholas was about to take a break after a few steps, and with a crooked foot he almost kicked the lavender that adorned the staircase. The bandages on his body that had been dyed green by the liquid had been removed, and his posture was like that of a zombie infested in the Great 6 Ancient Tombs of the Dark Giant.
As soon as he walked up to the two, he looked at Curt and Carl Rota with light eyes, and asked in an impatient tone, "Doctor Carl Rotta, how are they?"
The movement made him grin in pain, but Nicholas was clearly more concerned about his companions than he was in the middle of it.
"They also need treatment – at least not life-threatening for now. Carl Rota was silent for a moment, then answered his question in a deep voice, "But their bodies can't recover quickly, and for safety, they still need to stay with me for observation and treatment for a while." ”
When he heard Carl Rota say that there was no danger to his life, Nicholas' nervous expression was instantly soothed. The result of his companion's safety made him relax a little.
Carl Rota got up from his chair, looked at the wounded Nicholas, and said, "If there is no problem, you can go back today and take this Mr. Leinster to your boss." And then send these things to Carlos, who knows what to do. ”
He took what had always looked like jam from a nearby shelf and stuffed it into Nicholas' hand without saying a word, and Nicholas blinked, startled. Born Carl Rota didn't say a word, and after a while sent Curt and Nicholas out of his clinic.
Nicholas, who was asked by Carl Rota in a commanding tone, inexplicably took turns looking at Carl Rotta's face and yawning Curt: "Doctor Carl Rotta, you mean to let this guy who doesn't know the details go to see the boss......?
"It's okay, just tell him it's my friend. Carl Rota said, his tone was so strong that he could not tolerate the slightest rebuttal, "Crossing, no...... Leinster, come back in a few days if you have time, there are still things I have to tell you. ”
Looking at Carl Rotta, who didn't know if he was thinking or what, Curt's expression became subtle again. Curt couldn't see his eyes clearly in the flickering light of the room, and he nodded, signaling that he knew, and let Nicholas take him away.
Standing at the end of the alley, Carl Rota watched his long-lost friend leave, perhaps inspired by some nostalgia, and after Curt left, Carl Rota muttered to himself in a voice he couldn't hear. The muttering eventually became the language of Gulnius, and the rhythmic recitation was like poetry.
Unintelligible words fade with the wind, vanished in the darkness.
