After a full quarter of an hour, El's rapid breathing calmed down again.
After his body almost returned to normal and his hands returned to slender arms, El sat down on the beach and looked at Ronald with a look of relief:
"Boss, thank you for your hard work."
"I basically have no problem now, we can continue to return."
"You should sit down and rest." Although El was not a human being, Ronald still felt that he should not put too much pressure on the other person's body. So he took the initiative to pat El's shoulder and motioned for the other person to sit for a while, "While I'm at it,
During this time, let’s talk about what happened to you just now.”
"I don't think the overlord of Izzy Forest will be like that just now due to some simple troubles."
"Woo..."
Facing Ronald's comfort, El showed an embarrassed expression.
He made some small movements like a coy little girl, and then the guy replied in a confused tone:
"Boss, actually I don't know what's going on."
"Just after you took me flying in the air for a while, the circulatory system in my body underwent quite drastic changes. At that time, the energy I had reserved could not cope with this change, so I could only return part of my body to the plant state and absorb it quickly.
Nutrition, and this is how I finally stabilized my body.”
While speaking, El also pointed at the two slender holes in front of her.
This is where she just reached out and thrust her hands into the ground.
Although it looked like just two small circular holes, Ronald used the [Astrolabe] spell to detect the entire terrain, but he knew that Il had dug out a rather exaggerated tunnel maze below the ground in this area.
.
These are all traces left behind when she absorbed nutrients from the soil in order to recover.
Fortunately, this is not an urban area.
Otherwise, due to Il's troubles, the already moist soil on the seaside may soon settle, putting the buildings above it at risk.
"well……"
Facing the hidden dangers left by El's recovery, Ronald sighed softly, then activated his spell and pressed the entire ground downwards.
boom--
After a dull sound, the entire nearby ground dropped a whole layer, but at the same time, the soil below became denser.
After this hidden danger was eliminated, Ronald resumed the conversation with El:
"So you don't know what happened just now, and you can't even tell whether you were attacked?"
El nodded firmly and added:
"It's true that I don't know what happened, but it shouldn't be the wizard's method, because there are no signs of corresponding magical means at all."
It's not the caster who takes action...
Ronald thought for a moment and then confirmed again:
"Can't really think of any possible clues?"
"..."
Under Ronald's serious questioning, Elle lowered her head and thought carefully for more than ten seconds. Finally, in desperation, she took the initiative and stretched out her white arms to Ronald:
"Boss, why don't you collect some samples of my body, or just use your weird magic to check it out. I really can't get any useful information myself."
"Okay." Ronald was not polite and immediately examined El.
After all, the deep-sea fish in front of him began to evolve into magical creatures, which was something that people were concerned about. At the same time, El, as a creature with an extremely exaggerated degree of evolution, Ronald was indeed curious whether this guy had undergone similar changes.
The first is the reference comparison of genes collected from "The Origin of Species".
Because Ronald had already conducted a detailed examination of Il a long time ago, this time it was just a simple and direct genetic comparison.
The result was simple - there were only slight changes in El's genes.
Just this degree of change does not mean that there was any genetic problem that occurred to El in the encounter just now.
After all, as a beneficiary of the "Organic Encyclopedia", Il was able to occupy a large area of the Yuez Forest by changing his body.
Although this speed is not as simple, direct, and fast as "The Origin of Species", Il does have the ability to collect excellent genes and transform himself.
These extremely minor changes are just optimizations made by the other party in the past few months of life, and are not a reaction to the genetic mutation that he has just experienced.
Then there is the extraction of information about [Original Sin of Greed].
This spell is still as reliable as ever.
After manifesting a lot of information possessed by Il, Ronald finally found something valuable in the last sentence of the message provided by this spell!
——Physical condition is weak.
——Recovering from an extremely unstable state due to infection.
"..."
Infected!
This is indeed a useful phrase, but Ronald cannot draw an accurate conclusion based on this brief introduction.
However, if you want to carefully study the changes that have occurred in El and the profound meaning of this term, relying solely on the detection ability of [The Original Sin of Greed] cannot provide more useful information.
The situation was somewhat untenable for a while.
At this time, El, who had been watching Ronald, cautiously asked:
"Boss, is there any result?"
"I only have a superficial understanding." Ronald nodded lightly at the other party, and then simply stated his findings, "The information provided by the spell said that you were infected just now, so your state is extremely unstable, but other than that
There is no information that can help us."
After hearing these explanations, El's expression was similar to Ronald's.
"Infection...my body will be infected without me knowing it at all. Are you kidding me?"
El was also very surprised by this result.
After such questions and answers, Ronald and Il were almost ready to put aside their doubts temporarily.
But at this moment, Costart, who was standing aside, took the initiative and said:
"Sir, we may ask other spellcasters. This incident does not mean that our actions tonight will be exposed."
"As for the powerful local holders of Capone's original code, or some knowledgeable wizards on the fleet, if we consult them for information, this behavior will certainly not be rejected."
"..."
"That's okay too!"
Ronald was stunned for a moment, but he quickly agreed with Costart's suggestion.
This level of questioning really won't cause any trouble.
It can even be said that even if people from the [Dawn Spell Society] notice it, they may not react violently.
And with Ronald's current ability and identity.
If you ask for such information, there will definitely be friends you want to make who will actively provide information.
There is no need to think alone at all!
Thinking of this, Ronald felt a lot better:
"Come on, let's go to the theater first."
"Tell Ms. Teresa the news, and ask the witches if they know the meaning of this word."
