4. Unexpected circumstances

After visiting Salith, Lynn was about to go straight home when she suddenly hesitated.

"Why don't you take it to the guild to have a look? Anyway, the guild has a fireplace, so you can easily go back...... What do you think, Mochi?"

[Why do you have to ask me for this?]

"Because I always feel ...... There was something to care about from the association, but my instinct told me that if I went, I would get into trouble, so I was a little hesitant. ”

Lynn put her hand on top of her head and pressed the tuft of dull hair down. Just now, her dull hair suddenly stood on end, and the direction was still pointing to the location of the guild...... Although Lin herself also wants to say that this trick has quite a lot of "dumb hair radar" slots, but because it is actually quite easy to use, Lin still likes it. As for this trick, it is easy to increase the cuteness and reduce the majesty?oops~ Only the eldest lady who does not have majesty will pay special attention to curry sesame, and teach it to her Aisha, isn't it also equipped with a stupid hair radar?

[What will the association be doing at this time? Shouldn't they be busy now because of the open recruitment in the future, and they don't have much spare time to mess around with other things, right?]

"Mochi, do you really think they'll be able to have a week to spare?"

Lin spread her hands and looked at the mochi helplessly: "One day and two days is already the limit, right? I dare say that they are now like the senior party who is approaching the college entrance examination, urging themselves to work hard, and still can't control the hand stretched out to the mouse...... Actually, I'm just going to stop by and get a little bit~"

The old men were different from Lin, most of them had indicators—frankly. Because the association doesn't care at all how talented the children are in rubbing fireballs, the actual standards are quite loose and the character is a little calmer. Be careful, be willing to endure hardships in a down-to-earth manner, this is the key. Of course, the intelligence can't be too low, and the magic affinity can't be too bad...... As a result, those old mages had no excuse to shirk at all.

It's not to test those children for their innate magic power, children born with excellent magic qualifications, not to mention one out of a hundred, even if it is a thousand, it is difficult to produce one...... Of course, "qualifications" are only one aspect. It would be foolish to ignore other factors just because of "qualifications". Although it sounds close, there is a difference between "a disciple with outstanding talents" and a "disciple with outstanding achievements". But there is no equal sign. And if you really want to say it, in fact, the old men of the association are still more inclined to those children with average talent but are willing to calm down - everyone is a handful of age, who hasn't seen a few "geniuses", but how many of them have grown up to a sufficient height after the last?

Genius is hard to find. But there are still a lot of calm and serious children. As long as you carve it well, it is more than enough to inherit your mantle without saying that you will get ahead. Anyway, the Mage Association has been "low-key" for decades, and it has almost put itself "low-key" into the dustbin of history, and it is not bad to continue to keep a low profile in the future......

[I said, do you really plan to provoke those old men who are in a bad mood at this time? Don't say I didn't remind you, with the character of those old men...... The act of crying on the spot to show you must have been done. 】

"Uh, yes...... too"

Lynn made up the grief of a group of bad old men after seeing the "traitor" in her brain, and finally decided not to pretend to be too much.13

It's better to comfort them. Just right, go and say hello to them too. Look at their attitude towards Sharis's invitation to Xia - but Lin doesn't think it's a problem, Xia helped a lot two years ago, and no one thinks she's a heinous person, no matter how bad it is, Aisha has a guarantee. And at that time, the mage who passed by to help and was able to manipulate the power of demons was actually remembered by everyone in the association. It's very rare to have a disciplined, powerful and self-disciplined black magician these days, if you can drag Xia in, that group of people must be too late to be happy, right?

“...... Well, by the way, help me share a little firepower~"

Every time I go to the association, I have to be entangled by a group of old men! If it is those people of the opposite sex who approach with bad intentions, Lin will definitely not give the other party a good look, but those mages are not malicious, and they are old people, Lin really can't be ruthless and cold faced. But it's not all bad, it seems that because of Lin's well-behaved attitude, those mages all love her, so they almost love her as a granddaughter...... What? You say those mages don't have sons and grandchildren, after all, mages are ......

At least compared to a trainee magician who is only level 22 (Wangtian), those are old-timers!

And if Xia can be added, as an experienced and powerful black magician, Xia will definitely be able to help Lin share a lot of enthusiasm from the old mages...... As for how Xia will deal with them, that is not something that Lin needs to consider, thinking that with their ability, for ordinary people, it is like a curse like a talisman, ......it is almost like a joke!

"Thinking about it this way, Shalith is really thoughtful!"

Because of her relationship with Yan Yu, Sharisy has been harassed in the association a lot - and because she can't stand it like Lin, she can run directly, she is an official on the surface, and many times she has a task in her body, even if she wants to run, she can't run away~

Lin sighed about her luck as she walked, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the gate of the association.

"It's still the same gloomy...... No, when are these guys willing to turn on the headlights at night!?"

Lin was about to complain as usual, when she suddenly discovered something extremely terrible.

The association, which is usually lifeless at night, looks like a haunted house where villains are entrenched outside, and even if it is for lighting, it is only used in front of the workbench and desk, and even when you go to the library to find a book, you have to use lighting...... Today, I can see the bright light coming from the window at the street entrance!

This must be an anomaly!

Lynn's hand stopped as she was about to push the door open. Just like that, she kept pushing the door, and Lynn was in a mess in her brain right now.

"What should I do, mochi, do you want to go in?

[You ask me, who do I ask!] And isn't it just an unusual headlight. Actually, it's not a big deal...... Deal...... Right?]

Mochi hesitated.

For other people, if there is an unusual behavior, it may be due to some sudden change, but who are the people in this house, and can ordinary changes make them behave so abnormally? Obviously, no!

“...... Whew, no matter what it is!"

If he left like this, Elinn's catly nature would definitely not be able to resist the curiosity in his heart, and he would probably come back after leaving, right?

By the way, when I opened the door of the association, I could feel that the light was a little flashy...... This is truly a once-in-a-century miracle!

Lynn rubbed her eyes a little uncomfortably—she hadn't seen a few headlights at the top of the hall come on in years. The first time I saw it, I was really a little uncomfortable with the excessively bright lights compared to the association. It actually made Lin feel like looking directly at the sun......

Lin hurriedly turned her head away. Secretly wiped away some tears oozing from the corners of his eyes. I have to say that although Lin has superhuman physical fitness, she also adheres to the sensitivity that is very consistent with her appearance, but she is stimulated by a light that is a little uncomfortable. Tears were already flowing from the corners of his eyes...... If only it were for others to see. You're probably going to be laughed at, right?

[Actually, Lynn is very cute with your teary eyes - okay, I'll shut up.] 】

Lin glared at the mochi in annoyance, and finally arrived at the mochi that the association could run out to let the wind out, and quickly twisted her body and floated obediently to the side in a ball. In other places, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Lynn will not let the mochi run out directly.

Let's see what's going on inside......

Well, there are no changes to the interior decoration and furnishings, and there is no sign of expansion. There's no sign of a fight, so it looks normal, right? A group of people gathered together, chattering and not knowing what Lu Dao was talking about--anyway, what are these people doing around at this time? How should the recruitment after the discussion be carried out? But if it is just a "discussion", there is no need to turn on such a big light, right? Lin knows that compared to herself, these old men who are old and like to stay in the house all the time really hate bright lights, and can make them endure the discomfort of their eyes, what is the reason for the headlights to turn on?

And they didn't even know how to push open the door and walk in, they were really focused...... Lin was about to say hello to them, but there seemed to be a commotion there, and then the crowd made a way to open an opening.

"Huh?"

Lin looked at the scene in front of her with some strange wonder - it seemed that it was a person in the middle, right? Now to make way for him? Who is it that makes these usually temperamental old men treat them so seriously?

Looks like a lot of things......

Just as Lynn was guessing, a light suddenly emerged from the crowd...... Uh, a little girl, shouted:

"Mom!"

"Huh?" Lin was stunned, when did there be such a creature as a mature woman in the association? And look at the direction of the little girl's greeting, or is it her own side? Lin quickly turned her head to look behind her, but found nothing.

There are no women here, or is there no one else at all?

“......!”

Lynn's expression froze suddenly.

Although she didn't see any other women around her, it didn't mean that there weren't any women here—if you were talking about gender, would there be one ♀ here soon?

[Hey, Lynn, this shouldn't be ......]

Mochi looked at Lynn's stiff expression and reacted. Looking at the direction that the little girl ran over, it seemed that it was really where Lin was standing?

【...... Although you can see such a bridge in many places, why would it happen to you?]

"I don't know what to do!"

Just when Lin was panicked and tangled, the little girl had already run in front of her. Stretched out his little hand, almost a meter away from Lin, he suddenly jumped up, and pounced straight towards Lin.

"Huh——!?"

Lin was a little scrambled to catch the little girl who was rushing over, but she was still taken two steps back by her impact. I almost fell.

It's really yourself!

The last little luck in Lin's heart was shattered. Why would I be inexplicably called mom by a little girl I don't know? This kind of thing will be really indigestible for a while, until now the expression on Lin's face is still sluggish and indifferent, and after a while, he realized that his chest was constantly rubbing against the little girl's cheek, and he quickly showed a somewhat helpless wry smile.

"Well...... Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?"

Although Lin herself is now a mess of mush in her head, one hand consciously strokes the head of the girl in her arms, causing the girl to snort pleasantly.

"Well, we're actually weird. Especially when this little girl actually called you a mother......"

It should be said that fortunately, the mages here are all old and knowledgeable old men? At this time, there is no Ji Po to delve into it, and a girl like Lu He Lin will have a daughter who does not look young. didn't have to face the aunt-style gossip offensive, which made Lin feel relaxed for a while.

Although these mages are unreliable many times, they are still really reassuring at this time. As for what this girl will call Mother Lin for. There must be some misunderstanding in this......

"Actually, we were a little confused at the time, because this little girl felt like Lynn and you. I didn't expect it, it's really your daughter?" The other party's words made Lin's face, which had just eased a little, stiffen again. I was a little scared stupid before. So Lin didn't pay attention to the little girl's appearance, and at this time, after the other party said it, she hurriedly hugged the little girl's shoulders and carefully looked at her face.

The girl who was being stroked comfortably in Lin's arms was a little unhappy because of the interruption in the process, but when she saw that the person looking at her in front of her was her "mother", she showed an innocent smile again.

"Mom!"

"Uh...... Hmmm!good~"

What can I say at this time?, Lynn could only smile as hard as she could, and put her hand on the top of the girl's head and gently combed her somewhat messy hair.

- It's really like ahh

In order to prevent the unnaturalness on his face from being discovered by the girl. Lin hurriedly took the girl into her arms and continued her previous movements. And on this. The girl was also very happy, and continued to rub Lynn's chest while making a "whirring" sound.

"What the hell is going on!"

Lin was really frightened now--if it was because the girl confessed her mistake or for some other reason, it would be better to say, but the face that was reflected in Lin's eyes just now seemed to be her own face five or six years younger! Although Lin didn't know what she would be like if she was younger, she could guess when she looked at the little girl...... Not to mention that this is an image, it is almost carved out of a mold!

"Well, how old are you, Lynn?"

"Dead open! It certainly won't be the reason for this! If it's really because of the bang, I'll eat all the tables in the association!"

It's only been almost two or three years since I came to this world! Even if I was pushed by someone and then got pregnant, then I couldn't have such a big child, right? What's more, if I was really pushed and gave birth to a child, I wouldn't have the impression that I would have to jump out.

"Well, since you're all so sure, there's only another hypothesis...... Lynn, is there a possibility that someone took your blood?"

Blood?

Lin was a little stunned for a while, why did she suddenly mention this again? blood or something, is there any direct relationship with the fact that she has an extra "daughter"?

【Blood ...... Could it be ——!]

Mochi seemed to understand something.

[This kid is a clone-like being made out of Lynn your blood, right? I think that's what they're referring to. 】

Clones?

Lynn remembered the little girl's face that was almost identical to her own.

"Do you mean that someone has recreated a me......, out of my blood? No, it's not a problem. ”

Perhaps others will think that this child may have been born because of Lin's blood many years ago, but Ke Lin knows the Tao, and the traces of his existence in this world are only three years, and in fact, the time for this child to grow up and be born must not be so long. And now, judging by her appearance, she is almost six or seven years old, right? There must be some means used to speed up her growth.

There shouldn't be any after-effects, right?

Lin remembered that in the works she had seen before, it was often mentioned that clones would have various problems in lifespan due to chromosome telomeres and other problems, and this child should have similar hidden dangers, right? But at the moment, this worry can't be said directly...... Sure enough, let's go back and ask for wet sauce in a while, right?

Although I don't know what Lu Dao is for and because of what Lu will give birth to such a child, if you think about it carefully, there must be a lot of problems in it, and even worse, it has a lot to do with the mastermind behind the scenes who let herself cross over in the ......first place, right?

Her instincts were right—it was a big hassle, but Lynn was glad she was glad it was. Anyway, half of the birth of this child is due to his own reasons, and he can't leave anything alone, right?

"I'm sorry, I was going to talk to you about something. After a moment of silence, Lin looked up and said, "But for now, I'll go back and find Wet Sauce first." ”

"Ah, this is indeed a problem that cannot be ignored...... Be careful lately. (To be continued......)
