Chapter 22: I Want You
"Rolley, I'm having a problem again."
A question rang out in the quiet room.
It was a very crisp and pleasant sound, but when the tone built the city's words, Card, who had just wanted to drink saliva to ease his mood, almost didn't spray it directly.
In Glenia, people who know each other by their last names are a kind of politeness, and as for the first name, only those who are closer to them can call it directly.
But now, the legendary "mad alchemist" of the Academy, Miss Grey Galina, has directly ignored this rule and directly called her friend's name.
He looked at Luo Lai in shock: "When did you get along so well?" ”
"That's a good question." Luo Lai was also a little dazed, "I also want to know the answer to Dean Golina." ”
He turned his head to look at the girl who was staring at him: "Senior sister, are we very familiar?" ”
"According to the rules of "etiquette" set by the public, we just know each other's names, and we can't call it acquaintance." Gray analyzed it methodically, and said, "But I'm not with them, why should I play by the rules they set." ”
"I just thought it was easy to pronounce your name directly, so I called it that."
"You're really ...... It's self-cooked. ”
Grey didn't care about the other party's complaining words, and repeated what she said when she came in: "Rowley, I'm having a problem again." ”
Rolley pointed to his face and asked, "Do you see that the words written on this are "Correct Answer"?" ”
"Huh?" Grey looked at the other party's white face suspiciously, "I didn't write." ”
“.......”
Card looked at Rolley's deflated expression, but thoughtfully.
He was deflated every day at Lorley's, and now he seemed to have found a way to deal with it.
Rolley didn't bother with Card, who seemed to be planning for the future, took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and decided to start from the beginning.
"So senior sister, tell me first, how did you come up?"
After settling the Grand Duke, he immediately refused to visit and moved into the medical building because of his serious injuries, and out of respect for him, those deans and professors directly moved his ward to the eighth floor, which ordinary people could not find, and he did not get up himself.
So how did Grey get up?
To this, Gray only said "oh", and then said, "I asked the old men downstairs where you were, and they told me, and then I came up." ”
It was surprisingly simple, but Rolley could vaguely remember the professors' horrified expressions when they saw her.
The reason why she was put up was probably because she was afraid that she would turn the ward into a cemetery?
"Well, the second question." Rolley asked again, "What are you doing with me?" ”
"I said it." Gray repeated it again without any boredom, "I'm having a problem again." ”
"But it stands to reason that Mr. Joel has more knowledge and experience than me, don't you have any questions to him, and if you can't do it, don't you have your mother? What's the use of looking for me. ”
"He can't." Grey showed a very obvious expression of disgust, "He's just an ordinary person, he doesn't know what I'm thinking. ”
"I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't understand you." Rolley said.
"It doesn't matter what I think you don't understand, but you're definitely not an ordinary person!" Grey's expression became a little more serious, "The first time we met before, you were able to point out my problems, and no one else could. ”
"Although this does not prove that you are like me, accepting the oracle and coming to the world to incarnate as a human character, you are definitely different from the general public."
It's not that other people can't do it, it's just that their words don't hit the point you care about, causing you to simply not want to hear it.
Rolley glanced at Grey, who was staring at him seriously, and said with a little headache, "Then, tell me what is wrong with you....... Let's start with it, I don't necessarily have to solve it, and I don't necessarily have comments or suggestions. ”
Grey had no objection to such a reply, just blinked, and smiled happily and softly, like a cat with her chin being stroked.
"Here's the thing." She sorted out her thoughts and said, "Didn't you tell me before that you can't kill humans by just exploding?" I thought about it and thought it did make sense, after all, I didn't come into the world with power, and if everyone was targeting me, I wouldn't necessarily be able to beat them - and if I did, I wouldn't need to make alchemy items. ”
"Anyway, when I realized that it didn't seem to work, I started looking for something else."
"At first, one thing came to mind."
"Humans are not the only race in this world, in the last era, in the last era, and even more ancient times, there were all kinds of different races on this land, and there were races like humans who ruled this land, but today, it is difficult for us to see its shadow again."
"So, I wanted to study how they would perish."
"Looking through the ancient books, I found that the extinction of most races was due to all kinds of natural disasters that were difficult to resist, but there were also some creatures such as orcs and elves that were similar to humans in form, but they did not perish because of natural disasters."
"It is said in ancient books that the orcs perished by innate belligerence, and that the years of war made their populations unable to make ends meet, but they never stopped until they were wiped out; Although the light elves and the dark elves are both the same in their origins, they are both born in the World Tree, but they are still destined enemies by nature, and they eventually die together in the collision with each other. ”
"Although they perished in different ways, it is clear that they died because of the traits that their race was born with, which made them powerful and a symbol of destruction."
"So I wonder if we can use this theory to find a way to kill all of humanity."
"But ......"
When she said this, she suddenly showed an extremely distressed expression: "Ancient books say that the rise of human beings is due to their wisdom, creative talent, and perseverance. ”
"But these qualities exist even in heaven, they are beautiful symbols, how can it kill human beings?"
"When I think about it, I know I'm stuck in a bottleneck again."
Grey looked at Rolley with a blank eye: "Is there any other human trait that is not recorded in ancient books?" ”
“.......”
Rolley raised his hands and gave a Frank military salute: "I don't know. ”
"Huh?" Grey's good-looking willow eyebrows raised slightly, "Don't you really know?" ”
"Otherwise, do you want me to look you in the eye and say this?"
As he spoke, Rolley turned his gaze and met the girl's gaze.
Only then did he realize that Grey's eyes were actually extremely rare red.
It is not a deep blood-like crimson, nor is it the orange of the morning sun, but like a pale rose waiting to bloom, it contains the beauty of birth, the beauty that has not yet opened, and the brilliant and magnificent color that will be in the future.
"You're lying to me."
Grey's muttering interrupted his gaze.
"It's not that you don't know, but you don't want to tell me." Her tone was affirmative.
Rolley didn't deny it directly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It can't be called knowing, the answer always has to go through a practical test to get it, and after all, humanity has not really perished." ”
"So, it's a conjecture?"
"Sort of."
"Can you tell me what you think?"
The corners of Luo Lai's mouth twitched: "You are really not polite at all." ”
Grey just giggled as if she didn't know how to answer.
"In that case.......," said Rolley, after a moment's thought, "according to the principle of 'equivalent exchange,' if I help you, then you must give me something, right?" ”
"Huh?" Gray thought for a moment, "Also, after all, although you are smarter than ordinary people, you are not as good as me, you can only be regarded as half an ordinary person, and you do have to abide by some of the rules of the public." ”
"So, what do you want?"
Luo Lai pointed to the girl's pretty face that was still beautiful without powder, and whispered a word.
"You."
