With the activation of the "Flesh Regeneration" circle, the silent flesh energy in the blood pool was activated, and it was pouring towards the blood-soaked severed limb of Yuna's leg.

She closed her eyes and bathed quietly in the pool of blood, without the need for deliberate guidance, after touching the wound, the flesh energy began to spontaneously repair the wounds in her body.

There was no pain in the whole process of repairing, and in her body, she felt as if she had returned to a cold winter afternoon in her childhood.

Even though the snow was falling outside, the heating from the fireplace still enveloped the room.

And I was lazily resting on the bed under the quilt, only feeling warm all over my body, and I didn't want to move.

This is a warm, warm memory, she just shrunk up in the bed and slept and fell asleep in a daze, until she slowly woke up at a certain moment.

Before I knew it, the snow outside the window had subsided, and the firewood in the fireplace had been burned to charcoal, and the flames were slowly extinguishing.

"Hey, sister, come out and build a snowman!"

Outside the house, the sound of a little boy babbling sounded, and Yuna leaned in front of the window to see that her brother was standing in front of the snow in the yard and waving excitedly to her.

Opening the window, the biting cold wind suddenly poured into the room, she shivered, shook her head and said, "It's so cold, I don't want to go out!" ”

"Come on, come on, it's been a few years since we've had that much snow here!"

My brother's cheeks were red like apples, "This brother will build a snowman with us, too!" ”

Beside him, a black-haired young man in a black robe raised his head, smiled at her and beckoned.

Nolan? Yuna's eyes widened in surprise.

Without much thought, she pushed open the door in three steps and two steps, jumped down the stairs, and came to the courtyard.

"Y-Why are you here?" She bowed her head a little wryly.

It's really annoying, she found out that she was still wearing plain gray pajamas, which didn't look good at all!

"I'm going far, far away." Nolan looked at her seriously, "I wanted you to come with me, so I came to you." ”

"Eh, but ......" Yuna was stunned and subconsciously said, "It's so late, my parents won't let me go out now." ”

Besides, where can you go in winter, and now that it's getting dark, let's go back to the house and rest.

"It's okay sister." The younger brother on the side suddenly said, "You can go with your brother."

"Mom and Dad said that the daughter who got married spilled the water, and the place you should stay in now is not by your brother's side!"

"Marrying ......"

Yuna's pretty face suddenly turned redder than a red apple, but she felt that this seemed to be the case, and she couldn't think of any rebuttal for a while.

"Let's go." Nolan smiled and stretched out his hand to her, "While the sun hasn't set yet." ”

Looking at Nolan's outstretched hand and the endless snowfield around her, Yuna turned around, and at some point, her parents also walked out of the house.

"Don't worry about us." My father's personality is as strong as I remember, "Just do whatever you want." ”

"Have a safe journey, Nana......"

The mother is still a crybaby as always, and she began to wipe her tears as she spoke, "Take care of yourself when you go outside, come back if you are wronged, this will always be your home." ”

"Hmm." Yuna curled the corners of her mouth slightly, she glanced back at Nolan, and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't be wronged."

"That'...... Goodbye, Mom and Dad, and Haru, I'm leaving, going far, far away. ”

She waved goodbye to her family, followed Nolan's back without hesitation, and walked towards the endless snowfield outside.

The snow was so big that she couldn't see her destination or where the journey ended.

But it doesn't matter, she still has Nolan by her side.

Even in the cold of the icy and snowy land, the warmth he brought to himself still remained in her body.

As long as he is there, infinite courage will rise in his heart.

As long as she has this courage, she has nothing to fear.

"Woo-"

Suddenly, a biting cold wind whistled by, and Yuna was obscured by the oncoming wind and snow blowing in front of her, and closed her eyes for a while.

When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had been in a pool of water for some time.

"That was just now...... Dream? ”

Yuna muttered, memories of before entering the pool of blood flooded back.

It was true that she was still sitting in the blood pool, but after absorbing all the flesh and blood energy in the blood pool, the originally viscous and bright blood pool had become thin and transparent.

The human body refining ritual has ended, and without the activation of flesh and blood energy and the magic circle, the water temperature in the pool has dropped, and the coldness he felt in his dream is precisely because of this.

However, the warmth in my body is not imaginary.

After absorbing all the flesh and blood energy in the blood pool, not only was the weakness caused by the liberation potion eliminated, but her cultivation was also improved to a higher level under this nourishment.

With her current state, even if she was really thrown into the ice and snow, it would be fine, how could she care about the temperature of the cold water?

And, if there is anything that is no different from the dream, it is the familiar figure in front of me.

Noren sat on the edge of the circle and meditated, and when he noticed the movement in the blood pool, he also opened his eyes and smiled:

"You woke up, how are you feeling?"

"I ......"

Yuna felt that she was in a great state now, and she subconsciously wanted to get up and stretch her muscles.

The next moment, with the sound of "bang-la-la-la" water, she stood up from the pool.

The jade-like snow-white carcass was like the most perfect masterpiece in the world, and it was unobstructed in front of Nolan's eyes at this time.

Nourished by the energy of flesh and blood, her skin looked even whiter and flawless than before, moisturizing as if it could pinch out water.

Nolan froze, his gaze descending to her legs.

These legs are white and healthy, slender and full of flesh, just looking at it, you can feel the youthful vitality of the girl.

There is no doubt that this is her real leg.

No matter how advanced the prosthetic technology is, it can't compare to the treasure in front of you.

"It's ...... My leg? ”

Yuna lowered her head and stroked her thighs in disbelief.

Feeling the reality of touching the flesh for a long time, she only felt as if she was still in a dream.

"That's right." Nolan stood up and smiled, "Take two steps and try." ”

Yuna nodded, her hand holding on to the edge of the pool of blood, raising her foot to crawl out of it.

And just as she was about to climb the bleeding pool, her feet suddenly went limp, and her whole body fell forward uncontrollably.

It has nothing to do with strength, it's just that I haven't gotten used to the new legs for a while, and I can't control it as I want.

Seeing that she was about to fall, the next moment, Nolan held her arm in time, took her into his arms, and at the same time draped a wide bath towel over her body.

"Take your time." Nolan leaned into her ear and chuckled, "There's still a long way to go." ”

Yuna's ears suddenly turned red, she didn't reply, but the strength of holding him was slightly greater.

With Nolan's help, Yuna slowly walked outside the circle and changed into her clothes, only then did she notice that there was no one else in the lab.

"How long has it been?" She asked.

"About twelve hours, it's midnight." Nolan replied, "Flamell's men are gone, and Julius is still there, just outside on guard." ”

"It's been so long." Yuna was stunned for a moment, feeling that she was just having a trance-like dream.

"Ling...... Have you been here with me all the time? ”

"Well, because I hope that the first thing you see when you wake up is me."

"yes—"

Hearing this, her eyes were as soft as the sparkling moonlight in a pond, and then she smiled and stood on tiptoe to peck his face quickly and gently.

"Thank you!"

After the sneak attack was successful, she immediately turned her head again, pretending to be indifferent, and walked out with his hand around her, "It's not too early, let's go back!" ”

“…… Ah, well. ”

Nolan came back to his senses from the sudden kiss, "Say, I'm a little hungry, are you hungry too?" ”

"Hungry!"

"Okay, then two suppers, and I'll send someone directly to the room when the time comes."

"Hmm!"

Maybe it's because she finally got her wish, Yuna is much more active and cheerful than usual tonight.

In addition to that kiss, before falling asleep, she took the initiative to hug Nolan again.

So, tonight's long night, tossing and turning insomniacs are destined to have one more.

……

The next day, Nolan woke up late.

He sat up from the bed in a daze, Yuna's graceful body and slender thighs still lingering in his mind.

Even if there was no special plot last night, the good memories of yesterday's day were enough for him to digest for a long time.

"Sh-"

Seeing him get up, Yuna came to the window and opened the corner of the curtain slightly.

The sun was shining brightly on most of the room, and it was already sunset outside.

"It's time for lunch."

Nolan narrowed his eyes and suddenly remembered, "I'll have my celebration banquet later, you...... I shouldn't be able to catch up, right? ”

Yuna had just perfected her legs last night, and she had to help him even walk at first.

No matter how quickly she adapts, I'm afraid it won't be too late for half a day.

"Sorry...... I probably won't be able to get by. Yuna replied with some guilt.

If he accidentally fell at the banquet, it would be Nolan's face that would be lost, and she didn't want to hold him back.

"It's nothing, it's just a meal, but it's not really interesting."

Nolan got up, "You have a good rest, I'll be back when I'm done eating." ”

"Hmm." Yuna put on his robe for him, and her expression was gentle and quiet like that of a virtuous wife.

Looking at the side face of her dressing herself, Nolan was slightly distracted, and always felt that Yuna's smile was much more vivid than before.

Or is this the illusion that last night's spring dream brought to me?

Shaking his head, Nolan rushed into the bathroom to wash his face, and with his iron will suppressed those beautiful thoughts, then opened the door.

"I'm leaving."

"Walk slowly~"

Saying goodbye to Yuna, Nolan hummed a song, called Julius and the others together, and drove to Bach's banquet hall.

Because he overslept, he could only barely step on the spot, and at this time there were already many people gathered in the banquet hall.

They are all high-level alchemists from all over the empire, and they are rare to see on weekdays.

But in order to witness the birth of a new legend, they gathered here with the greatest enthusiasm for the 18-year-old newcomer.

Of course, those who are willing to stay are all high-level alchemists from the eldest prince's camp, and the people from the second prince's camp have dispersed after the results of the society were announced yesterday.

They were all their own people, and of course they welcomed their allies.

"Hello Master Nolan, here is ......"

"Master Nolan, I'm very interested in your research......"

"Master Nolan......"

“……”

Soon, he was surrounded by peers who recommended themselves, and Nolan squeezed out a smile to entertain for a long time, but he didn't remember a few names.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a white and gold robe walked over, bowed and said, "Master Nolan, Mr. Fred and Master Bach, please come and talk about it." ”

Great help. Nolan nodded, and took the opportunity to break away from the crowd and into a box next to the banquet hall.

Bach and Fred were chatting in the box when they saw him coming, and the two stopped talking and nodded at him.

"Nolan." Fred gestured pleasantly to the seat next to him.

"No wonder Bach swore to me that you were strong, that your match with Slok was wonderful.

"He was once one step away from being a legend, and the fact that you were able to defeat his test subject head-on shows that you are worthy of the name of legendary alchemist."

"It's just a narrow victory." Nolan sat down, "The strength of the other party is also beyond my expectations, and I have to continue to improve my research results." ”

"You're humble." Fred smiled, "In my opinion, your research results have completely reached the level I expected, and I can even be said to have given me a very big surprise."

"The Roland Empire is proud to have a genius like you...... With the help of your research results, the army will be able to arm more powerful forces and wipe out all the rebels in the empire in a short time! ”

Hearing his resounding tone, Nolan's heart sank.

As expected, Fred met him this time not only to exchange academics and enhance friendships with himself.

As the chief alchemist of the Empire, he came to Flamel this time with the intention of wooing a new legendary alchemist and letting him serve the Empire!

"As an Empire, it's an honor for me to serve the Empire."

Nolen politely refused, "It's just that my research results are still in the experimental stage, and the output is very limited, and if I want to produce a large number of them and provide them to the army, I am afraid that they will not be able to complete it in a short time." ”

"Oh, really?"

Fred's eyes narrowed, "But I saw it at the venue yesterday, and it only takes you three or four hours to draw a complete sixth-order new magic circle.

"Peak City once built five new city defense magic cannons in one day, and with such proficiency, at least for this kind of weapon, its production technology should be extremely mature.

Even so, you still think...... Isn't it currently in mass production? ”
