119: You're Not a Killing Machine (Ask for Order)
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Nolan was stunned for a moment, "You'll be able to have real legs right away, isn't that what you've always wanted?" β
When he first told Yuna about the formation of the human body in the bathroom, he still clearly remembered Yuna's unbelievable surprise in her eyes.
She must have been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
"I just...... I just noticed something. β
Yuna bowed her head and said, "Actually, these legs are reliable enough, even if I get real legs, but they may not be more useful than prosthetics in battle."
"I worked so hard and got weaker in the end, and I didn't think it was worth it, so I ...... Forget it. β
She was also reflecting that this time had passed so smoothly that even her heart became greedy and began to unconsciously want more.
And in the battle, the Plate Knight put a lot of pressure on her, which made her think back to the fact that fighting was actually a cruel thing.
The strong live, the weak die, the essence of this world is nothing more than that.
And the invincible White Raven is both a symbol of Linfeng City and the sharpest sword in Noren's hand.
She must not fall, in order to clear all the obstacles in front of her master, her strength cannot be reduced.
As a warrior, you must be like a Plate Knight, with the consciousness to do whatever it takes to gain power.
Sure enough, the battle just now changed her mind...... Nolan frowned.
It is true that from the perspective of combat, with the current strength of the improved knight's steel, the prosthesis can not only replace the body of the sixth-order knight, but it can even be said that this is a better choice.
After all, prosthetics are not as pain-sensitive as the physical body, and after a serious injury, it is more convenient to maintain than to treat the physical body.
As long as we compare the machine with the flesh, we will surely find all kinds of inconveniences in the flesh, and finally deduce an extreme conclusion-
Flesh and blood are weak, and machinery soars!
It's just that this may be the most cost-effective option, but it is not the result he wants.
"I don't deny the role of prosthetics, after all, it's one of my favorite works."
Nolan looked at her, "But I want to know what you really think more than whether you made the right choice."
"Look up at me and think about it, do you really want to live with prosthetics all the time?"
Yuna's shoulders trembled slightly, she raised her head to look at Nolan, and responded with some stubbornness: "...... I do. β
Nolan stared at the girl in front of him, and he saw a slight tremor in the depths of her stubborn eyes.
She's just pretending to be strong.
"But I don't want to." After a while, Nolan shook his head, "Be obedient, go to the refining ceremony, I hope you can have a sound body."
"Don't always think about whether it's useful or not, only props will measure their value in this way.
"And you are neither a prop nor a killing machine, you are my white raven, an irreplaceable, living person.
"Do you know that you have a look that is about to cry right now, but props don't make such an expression...... Really, don't let your master worry about it so much. β
I'm not a killing machine......
Looking at Nolan's gentle eyes, Yuna was a little distracted for a moment.
All along, he only has the talent to fight, and after becoming someone's "slave", all he can do is fight with all his might for his master.
Defeating her opponents all the way, winning all the way, and finally sinking in a battle for the orders of her master, this is probably her final fate.
From this point of view, she and the Plate Knight are indeed the same kind of people, but she is a chess player, and today is not her own death-
That's what she thought, but when Nolan appeared in front of her and said it to her, she suddenly realized she was wrong.
The Plate Knight's body was devastated and covered in post-operative scars from body modifications, and one can imagine how painful his daily life was, and Srock didn't treat him as a human being at all.
And Nolan wasn't Srock, he never used himself as a prop.
Even though it was not necessary to connect his real legs for himself, he did it in order to take care of his mood.
It is precisely because of him that his fate is different from that of the Plate Knight, and it has changed dramatically.
I'm not an emotionless prop, I'm not a cold killing machine, I'm a living person.
That's what Nolan said to her in that gentle look.
"IβI'm just a little worried."
Feeling a slight sour feeling on her nose, Yuna hurriedly lowered her head again, "I'm afraid that if I continue to slack off like this, sooner or later I will lose."
"I don't know what to do when I think I'm going to live up to your expectations."
"I see." Nolan scratched his head, "Actually, I should apologize to you for that. β
"Huh......?"
"I'll admit I underestimated the intensity of this battle, I didn't expect Slok's knights to be that powerful."
Nolan smiled bitterly, "The White Raven's arsenal is still not large enough, and because I can't get the opponent's information in advance, I can't make targeted weapons in advance.
"This caused you to get into a tough battle for a while, and in the end you were able to win because you were so good at winning the only chance......
"Anyway, you don't have a problem, if you really want to say who should reflect on themselves the most in this battle, it should be me. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. β
"How could it be ......" Yuna was just about to shirk when she saw Nolan step forward and stretch out her hand.
Then, in her exclamation, Nolan actually picked her up from the chair of the princess.
"Don't think about it so much, we are the winners, and we shouldn't enjoy the fruits of victory now, right?"
He smiled, hugged her and walked out of the venue.
"Let's go, pick up the leg for our Miss Yuna!"
β¦β¦
After a while, Nolen's carriage drove to the Flamel family's mansion.
Under the guidance of the servants, the group came to an underground laboratory, which was the place where the human alchemy ceremony was held.
Of course, because Yuna has inconvenient legs and feet, Nolan carried her all the way.
"That ......," Yuna's cheeks flushed slightly, "can you put me down, you can actually walk with me in your arms." β
"Don't worry about me." Nolan smiled, "I'm in good health now, so it's okay to carry you this way." β
"Woo-" Yuna covered her face, and was momentarily embarrassed.
Is it a matter of physical strength? My dear master, watch out for outsiders!
Look at Julius and AgatΓ© along the way, they peeked at our little eyes from time to time, that aunt-like doting expression, and the corners of their mouths were grinning to the root of their ears!
"Nolan." Arriving at the door of the laboratory, Bach, who had been waiting for a long time, nodded to Nolan.
"I've ordered someone to be ready, and the ritual is ready to begin."
"Then please." Noren hugged Yuna and walked towards the lab, "We'll prepare." β
There was a huge blood-colored circle painted in the laboratory, and when I saw it, the voice of the All-Knowing Book sounded in my head:
The seventh-order special spell "Flesh Regeneration" has been recorded.
Knowledge +130.
Effect: Regenerate the subject's body and reshape the severed limb.
Like Spell Absorption, this is a special spell that requires not only mana but also other conditions to activate.
In the center of this huge blood-colored circle, there was a circular pool of blood, and the liquid inside was as red and dazzling as blood, and when it was close, it could even smell a unique fishy smell of blood.
However, through the analysis of the Book of Omniscience, it can be known that this pool of blood is not only mixed with the essence blood of some powerful demonic beast, but also various rare and precious medicinal materials.
Like transcendent elixirs, even if you know the refining and casting methods, these precious materials are not so easy to find.
Nolan hugged her and put her down on the edge of the circle, saying, "I'm going to remove the prosthetic limbs first." β
"Hmmm......"
Yuna looked a little shy, but she lifted her maid skirt and took off her pantyhose to the end.
Underneath the plain white briefs, near the middle of her thighs, was the junction of the prosthesis.
Although Yuna's prosthetic surgery was in charge of Luo Zhen in the past, he can do it even if it is disassembled, and this time, he wants to help her remove the prosthesis himself.
Noren fumbled around Yuna's inner thigh for a while, finding the prosthetic's hidden mechanism.
When the mechanism is twisted, the prosthesis makes a slight mechanical sound, and the junction between the thigh and the prosthesis begins to loosen.
At this time, as long as you tear it off hard, it is the easiest and most direct way to disassemble, but once it is disassembled, it is difficult to put it back on.
Because Luo Zhen's puppet technology did not consider how to easily disassemble and assemble the prosthetic limb from the beginning, the doll suspension wire buried in the prosthetic limb has been deeply buried in the flesh and blood of the thigh.
If the prosthesis is completely removed, the doll suspensory thread buried in the flesh will also be pulled out, and the wound on Yuna's thigh will become bloody.
"I'm going to push hard." Nolan said in a deep voice, "It's going to hurt a little, are you ready?" β
"Hmm." Yuna nodded, elbows propped up in a relatively stable position, signaling that she was ready.
Nolan took a deep breath, and he grabbed Yuna's left leg with both hands and gradually pulled out the prosthetic leg in a parallel direction to his thigh.
During the pull-out process, he felt the resistance from the adhesion between the flesh and the puppet's hanging wire, but he didn't stop it, but continued to increase the pull strength.
Anyway, he was also a first-order knight now, and as his strength continued to increase, the prosthetic limb with blurred flesh and blood was finally removed by him.
At this time, Yuna's thigh was dripping with blood, and blood was constantly spilling from the truncated surface.
It looked painful, and Nolan glanced up at Yuna, only to see that her expression hadn't changed much.
Come to think of it, knights who have been through battle will not be embarrassed by this pain.
By the way, is this kind of endurance something that any seventeen-year-old girl can easily do?
Nolan knew he couldn't afford to delay too long, so he reined in his thoughts, grabbed Yuna's other prosthetic leg, and removed it as he did.
"That's it."
Yuna put her hand on the button of her collar and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "Can I take it off?" β
The human body formation ceremony requires total nudity, and when the prosthetic leg is removed, it is time to undress.
"Hmm." Nolan quietly stood between her and the others outside the lab.
Although Bach and Julius are both elderly uncles, and they don't think much about her, we can only look at the body of our maid!
Half-held in Nolan's arms, Yuna's heart gradually calmed down, and she did not hesitate to unbutton the button in front of her, and then took off her maid skirt, underwear and panties.
Until her fair skin was all exposed to Nolan's sight, she plucked up her courage and raised her head to meet Nolan's eyes:
"I'm done."
That's all I am, that's who I am.
I know you can accept my ugliness, so I'm willing to show you the most beautiful side of me.
It's just you, Nolan.
I'm only so brave in front of you, I'm going to do it.
Finished taking it off? Nolan looked at the naked girl in front of him, the girl's slender and graceful body curves were so white that he was a little dizzy.
But he knew it wasn't over, and there was a conspicuous black on her fair neck.
It was the collar, it was the restraint he had imposed on the girl with his own hands, and it was also a proof of his hesitation.
And now, it is the day when he defeats his former self and completely liberates the girl.
Looking at Yuna's trusting eyes as she looked at her, Nolan reached out and untied the collar around her neck.
It was a simple move, but he didn't have the courage to do it until now.
The leather collar fell to the ground, and Nolan's hand ran over her neck.
Fortunately, I didn't tie it tightly at the beginning, so I didn't leave an unsightly indentation on this beautiful snow-white skin.
"I lied to you." He whispered, "This collar doesn't explode." β
At that time, he had only just set up his own door, and how could he have the opportunity to do such a complex thing, it was just his bluff.
"I know." Yuna smiled serenely.
She is simple, but she is not stupid, under the keen perception of the knight, in fact, she was faintly aware as early as the beginning that this collar may not be special.
But what does it matter?
It doesn't matter if the collar will explode, whether Nolan will help him untie the collar.
In any case, he will not betray him.
"I'm sorry." Nolan said softly, "I should have done it sooner, hopefully it wasn't too late." β
"Thank you." Yuna smiled with tears in her eyes, "I met you...... It was the luckiest thing in my life.
"Now, my master, please carry me there?"
"I'd love to." Nolan straightened up, carried her to the edge of the pool of blood in the center of the circle, and slowly lowered her.
Yuna's body sank into a pool of blood, and as Nolan turned to leave, she moved her mouth and said a few words to him silently.
The next moment, the circle activated.
The surging flesh energy in the pool of blood activated, and she closed her eyes, soaking in a peaceful warmth.
