Chapter 145: The caring little cotton-padded jacket at home
On the table filled with desserts, Hero placed the broken and deformed whale tooth worm on it.
Ms. Palin held the dessert "delicately" with one hand, and pinched the insect's foot "disgustingly" with the other hand.
In this large room, a wave of soul energy suppressing the two of them has not dissipated.
That's Ms. Palin trying to find out what's going on with the whale tooth worm.
After a while, the terrifying pressure gradually dissipated, and Hero let out a sigh and moved his body, which was stagnant and stiff due to the flow of soul energy.
I saw Ms. Palin knocking the head of the fried bird that Pierce brought to me, eating the remaining half of the dessert in one bite, and speaking with a somewhat serious expression.
"Not long ago, a magician who was in trouble sent back a message. The tower has just informed me that I have also blocked the targets in the apprentice level that can be transmitted one-way.
As for you being able to bring these little things back, it’s great. My child, I’m lucky that you can come back alive. There are quite a few magicians who have fallen into this trap due to greed this time. As far as I know, there are several who are stronger than me.
Where’s the seat?”
Ms. Palin patted her strong breasts with her thick, fat palms and said with a very frightened look.
"Little Hero, little Byrne, that fat-headed fish... you're so lucky to be alive, damn fat woman! Give me a piece of cake!"
Mr. Pierce flapped his wings and gently caressed Hero's shoulder, but the bird's head was still staring at the cake protected by Ms. Palin.
"What?"
Helo was a little surprised when he heard what it said.
Although Pierce's words were a bit vague, he could vaguely tell that he seemed to know the giant whale.
But when Hollow wanted to ask, Pierce was already attracted by the dessert and didn't turn around to answer him no matter how he called.
Hollo gave up her stubborn pursuit of desserts to wake Pierce up, while Ms. Palin quickly ate a few pieces of desserts as if she didn't know anything.
'Ms. Palin seems to know something too!'
Just when he wanted to wait for Pierce to calm down, he was attracted by the full moon-shaped eye in its eye socket, and he was a little lost in thought.
Immediately afterwards, Ms. Palin issued a gentle eviction order without allowing Hollow to continue pursuing the trouble.
"It's good to be able to bring back this information. I will report it directly to the tower, and the subsequent rewards will be sent directly to your room by the rose elf.
As for the problem you just mentioned, Helo... it is indeed very troublesome. When it comes to cleaning up pollution, you can ask your instructor first. I remember that there should be corresponding methods in your system. In addition, I will help you pay attention.
Friends who descend from the [Scarlet Tower].”
Ms. Palin's words let Holoming know that there was something hidden in it, but it was hard to ask any more questions.
After walking out of Ms. Palin's office, Byrne asked in surprise.
"You are actually contaminated, I didn't even know it!"
Helo, who wanted to rush back to the dormitory to check his health and check on the condition of the little queen ant, was a little distracted.
"At that time, I was busy running for my life, so even if I said it, it would be of no use."
After learning that Holo didn't need help, the two separated next to a staircase.
Byrne needs to go to the [Lower Market] to find the old man. He still lacks a good quality baby bird wing, so he has to ask the old man if he can get it.
This thing is not expensive, but higher quality products require some effort.
Now that a white wing has been installed in the Chickenfoot House, the requirements for the other half must be higher.
On the other side, Hero had already opened the dormitory door.
He had previously given the "Tower Space Development Rights" granted by the tower, and the room he had developed was specially isolated and used as a work area, and by the way, it was built into a nest of iron ants.
In the few days since I left, the scene in the room has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
The entire room was built in the shape of a standard ant nest. The largest nest built in the corner of the central axis was where the little ant queen stayed.
It functions as a central control. The distance and time required for commands issued from here to reach various parts of the ant nest are almost the same, and the large area allows the young ant queen to have enough nutrients while storing and cultivating more iron ant eggs.
In addition, there are multiple food storage nests. These nests have been built by the iron ants and integrated into the military assembly line. The material residues inside are their food, and they can also process materials while eating.
The remaining nests are mostly where iron ants rest, which is where the assembly lines for processing parts are located.
Overall, the reproduction of the entire iron ant group has been perfectly integrated with the assembly line of the arsenal.
In a short period of time, it is still enough for them to survive and work.
But once time passes, the little queen ants give birth to a larger group, and this small room can no longer accommodate them.
Thinking of this, Hero couldn't help but miss that upside-down city.
That place...it would be great if it were mine.
Sensing the presence of Holo's breath again, the little queen ant emerged from the nest.
He shook the two tentacles on his head and rubbed the hem of Master Helot's robe intimately.
Hero touched it and found that compared to when she was just born, her carapace had been cultivated with a variety of minerals and had become much harder, and she was getting closer to a mature body.
The mood when having a little queen ant is quite complicated.
Although he was not gentle to her in terms of words and actions, he was treated according to the thinking model of the magician world. Her survival capital depends on her usefulness.
Especially when it is useful for Helo, it is a considerate little cotton-padded jacket.
For the future arsenal project, before leaving, Hero was just as worried as in his previous life whether his family pets would starve to death while traveling far away.
For fear of not being enough, they prepared a lot of metal stones and other food for the small group of iron ants, which almost wiped out the supply of several apprentice suppliers.
Hero took a closer look and saw that nearly half of the ore had been lost in the past few days.
The amount of disappearance is somewhat different from the previously estimated amount.
Hero sent out some senses and detected that there were some unborn eggs in the nest.
It seems that the little queen ant was about to give birth before he left.
Hero took out the harvest from this trip from the [Flea Skin Pouch].
After painstaking efforts, I obtained the other half of the Queen Ant Essence in exchange for it from Byrne.
"Little one, eat it, this belongs to you originally."
Picking up the little queen ant from the ground, Hero immediately noticed something was wrong. Her abdomen was a little heavy.
You can feel the egg-shaped object that has been formed inside by touching it lightly with your fingers.
'This little guy is trying to save food and finish all the crops.'
This is really... so sensible.
"I'm back. There's no need to save. Eat the essence and expand the tribe."
Even if he couldn't go to the upside-down city, there was still a place for Hero.
After such a long time, I don’t know how the swampland of Yuphiel is being managed.
How about sending some construction experts to help her.
