"Nornes."

Klein's voice was very gloomy, not just to play the cold Gelman, but he was really full of helplessness.

The lark immediately raised his head from the edge of the large beer glass, flew back to the side of the ship "obediently", and wiped a drop of wine from his mouth with his wings.

Because of Crane's cold eyes, Esther didn't dare to fall on him.

Frank stared at the lark with blazing eyes: "How's that! Is the taste okay? Is it poisonous? ”

Esther looked at Klein's complicated gaze and jumped twice innocently on the spot: "The taste is relatively light, the taste is a little too thin, not heavy enough......"

Before Esther could finish speaking, Frank couldn't help but pick up the cup and take a big sip of it.

There was also a hint of sluggishness in the lark's eyes: "I can't drink poison or not, I can eat anything." ”

The other two crew members who were crouching next to the crowd quickly took a few steps back, for fear that the lark would react strangely.

Gadelia rubbed her forehead in pain, and seeing that Frank had nothing wrong with drinking the fish blood wine, she immediately urged him to leave the deck with the "cultivation fruit", and not to continue to block here, and Nina and the others were ready to go to the sea to explore the ruins.

The main reason why Gardelia would say this was simply because she didn't want to continue looking at Frank and begging for a blind and mindless look.

Frank listened to Cordelia, and the first results of the experiment made him feel good, and he quickly packed his things and headed to the cabin.

After Klein met Nina, he saw that she jumped directly into the water with a few other sailors, and when he looked back, he found that the lark that was still standing on the side of the ship was gone.

Crane let out a long sigh inwardly, guessing that Esther had gone straight to the strange Frank.

I always felt that the fellow was becoming more and more casual, and she mixed up with Frank...... I hope she doesn't give Frank too many nonsense ideas, otherwise Gardelia will overcharge for repairing the ship halfway, and Gelman Sparrow won't be able to stand it.

——

Frank didn't expect the lark to follow, it wasn't afraid of people at all.

Esther flew down to the top of the tank, looked at the other wine fish below that had not yet been "drunk", and asked Frank in confusion, "How did you do that?" ”

"This is my sequence ability, Sequence Six 'Biologist', where I can cross all kinds of creatures and make them magically transformed! Think about it, after success, the sailors will no longer have to worry about the drinks on the voyage, just catch a fish from the sea, and it could be any delicious wine, champagne or Nepos! ”

As soon as Frank spoke of his thoughts, his eyes lit up as if he had lit a lamp.

Esther flapped her wings twice to balance her body, and swayed back and forth on the edge of the fish tank: "Sounds like a great ability, well, the idea is good." ”

"Great! Nornes, you can understand me! Frank was even more excited, "Trust me, the variety and taste of this wine can be adjusted, and there is always a way to develop a wine that will satisfy you!" But before we can do experiments to allow them to reproduce, we have to make sure that they can reproduce on their own, otherwise there is no point in being out of my abilities......"

is such a fanatical researcher, he always feels that he is too gullible to others, and when he introduced it before, he also told Klein directly about the sequence. The lark smacked her lips, but the red wine tasted okay, except that she preferred something else, such as hot cocoa.

As Esther was scolding, Frank's gaze turned around again and landed on the talking bird, "You just said you can eat anything, didn't you?" Don't care if it's poisonous or not? ”

Esther had a bad premonition, and her tail feathers were about to explode: "Yes, but I have a small appetite, and I can be a picky eater!" I have a sense of taste! ”

She doesn't want to be a guinea pig in a cage!

Although Frank doesn't seem to be a bad person, and because of his strange ideas, Esther still suspects that the other party is studying the lark's idea.

There will always be such strange people on the ships related to the "Mystery Queen"? Aaron and Thoma are both weird, but I remember that the "Star General" was a member of the Secret Organization, so why did the "Mysterious Queen" appear on the "Future"?

Perhaps because of the little horror in the lark's eyes, Frank laughed and told the bird:

"Don't worry! It's not for you to experiment, I'll taste it myself, and I'll always make sure that the results match what I imagined. I just want you to help me rate, it's better to have one more person—or a bird's review—than to taste it myself. ”

So is it true that other people are not willing to help you......

"Then I don't have a problem, it's just that I don't have much to taste," Esther nodded, spreading her wings, "You see, Frank, I'm just a lark." ”

That's a good excuse!

Esther was curious, but she didn't want to waste her current parasitic body, and although she could digest far more than she seemed, Esther was reluctant to act too unusual.

The "Mystery Queen" is still on this ship, and Esther knows that her and Klein's every move is under each other's noses, and Klein is also on the ship to seek promotion, and Esther does not intend to cause intractable trouble.

Frank's room was filled with a variety of containers, filled with dirt or seawater, all of which appeared to be petri dishes ready for hybridization or experiments already underway.

Esther's eyes wandered around the room, and when she found a dwarf bush that seemed safe, she spread her wings and flew up from the edge of the fish tank, crouching on a handful of relatively stable branches and leaves, to get a closer look at the strange things.

Soon, 100,000 "what" questions and answers began in Frank's room, and Frank's excitement led him to pour beans detailing everything that had been cultivated here, from the healing fruit that had been hybridized with medicine, to the "beef wheat" that was still in the process of being cultivated without success.

Esther's inner complaint switches seamlessly between "admiration" and "shock", she feels like she is about to become a metronome swaying back and forth, but more often than not, she is lamenting Frank's brilliant idea, and wants to pry his head open to see how it grows.

If only the "mystery queen" was gone, I would still be able to steal this gentleman's thoughts at will. Esther couldn't help but have such a thought.

Frank didn't know any of this, of course, and was carrying a bunch of raisin-like fruit to show to his second "new friend", and the fact that the lark had shown interest in his work was enough for Frank to judge that it was trustworthy, even if it was only his one-sided idea.

Frank plucked two crimson fruits from the very end and handed them to the lark: "You can taste it too!" I've always thought it tastes a little strange, but I haven't been able to adjust it properly. Because of its taste, other people are not willing to eat it for a long time, and it is clear that only one pill can provide abundant energy, so that the people on duty do not have to sleep all day......"

Esther hesitated for a moment, then tentatively took the peanut-sized red fruit in her mouth and swallowed it with her head up.

The bird's sense of taste is different from that of humans, but when Esther parasitizes the lark, she can restore the human sense of taste by "analyzing" what she eats, and she once suspected that it was because of her parasitism that the lark had become some kind of alien and extraordinary creature.

Swallowing a small red fruit, the first feeling was intense bitterness, like rubbing ground espresso powder on the base of her tongue, which made Esther retch.

After a few seconds, there was a faint sweetness, and the lark stuck out his tongue: "Do you want to try it, cultivate it to be sweeter......"

"Does it still taste too strange?"

"It's so bitter!" The lark jumped back and forth twice, showing a bit of irritability, "Is the principle of this thing hybrid coffee beans?" It's so bitter that even the birds can't stand it! ”

"It's the extract of coffee beans! I didn't expect you to recognize it like this, I really didn't misread you! Frank looked even more excited, "But if you change the taste, won't it affect the refreshing effect?" ”

Esther had a hard time explaining the existence of caffeine, racking her brains to find an example from the side: "Of course not!" The bitterness of coffee is not only because of the taste, but also because of the extract itself, which has a similar ingredient in tea, but the effect is not as heavy as that of coffee. ”

Frank nodded excitedly, "Then can we actually cultivate various flavors?" That's right, it's like changing an unpalatable potion into a fruit, maybe grape, strawberry or even honey? Do you have any recommendations? ”

The lark chuckled suddenly, and when she heard Frank suggest those flavors, Esther tilted her head: "Maybe you can think of it as a game!" ”

"Games? How can cultivating crops have anything to do with games? Frank rubbed his hands together excitedly, and he also dragged a bitter red fruit and threw it into his mouth.

Esther became more and more excited, and the lark jumped twice on the top of the bush: "You can cultivate them to have different flavors, and that's a fun challenge, isn't it?" Experiment with different crosses to preserve the effect, and then mix these fruits together, without distinguishing their tastes—"

Frank clapped his hands vigorously, and he had already followed the strange idea: "Then let the person who eats it decide what to eat by luck!" It's a really good game! ”

As for a few years later, the crew of the "Future" was keen to bet on eating multi-flavored beans, and the side effects of migraines due to frequent late nights, Esther and Frank did not consider it at all.

The lark held his head up vigorously: "Right? In fact, the storage of such fruit is also more convenient than coffee, it does not need to be brewed, and it can be eaten raw! This is a very strange idea, maybe you can make a similar product that is easy to carry. ”

"Oh? Do you have any other ideas? I'm also cultivating plants that produce milk, and you can come and see, this is the petri dish I prepared, and I'm still experimenting with these parasitic plants, and it will take more time for further results......"
