On the way back, Lin Ge had some exchanges with Saint Xalia, mainly about the two conversations they had last night. It was only then that the young man realized that he had accidentally damaged Saint Xalia's
It was a good thing, but it was too late to regret it now, so the two of them tacitly ignored this topic and Alice's intention to stir up trouble from the sidelines.
By the way, Gloria did not return to Cloud Whale Sky Island with them. She stayed at Chatoli Manor, preparing to continue to hone her skills and strive to get a good ranking in the upcoming championship. As for why Alice
Everyone thought it was because she wanted to be lazy when she didn't stay. However, she swore that she had more important things to do. But when Medien asked her what it was, the golden-haired maid mysteriously said that it was temporary.
It's kept secret and people can't believe it at all.
Back to business, after exchanging information with each other, both of them had a new understanding of the current situation. At least one thing was certain. Xino's grandfather did not object to the family's only heir leaving his hometown, but there was nothing he could do to help.
Everything depends on Xino's own will. The key to changing the girl's will is to first understand what her "concern" is.
Relatives? Family? Familiar environment? Stable life? Even the aliens in Lothor Forest? These are all possible options, but they don't seem to be enough to generalize.
The two of them fell into deep thought for a while.
This makes Alice next to her a little bit unable to stand it. From the perspective of a genius player, this is such a simple thing. Can't you just think of it casually? Why are you so hesitant? You can tell at a glance that you are not playing.
In RPG games, I don’t even know how to collect quest clues.
Ringer said that if you think we are not good enough, if you are good, go ahead (not the original words, Alice Brain’s free translation version).
The talented player said yes, then I really got into it.
She casually plucked a stick of Pennisetum from the roadside, held it in her mouth and pretended it was the great detective's pipe, and said with a deep look: "After eliminating all impossible options, the only remaining option is the answer. So.
,there is only one truth--"
She raised her finger to the sky, and then slashed it down with a crack. The outstretched index finger pointed at the expressionless Ringer: "The concern that Xino can't let go of the most is her grandfather!"
I thought you had some great ideas, but this is what happened?
I can imagine this too!
Both Ringer and Saint Xalia didn't want to talk to her, but the kind and considerate pink-haired girl couldn't bear to see Alice's sister being silent, so they asked cooperatively: "Why?"
"Hmph!" Someone cheered, and even if only one person cheered, Alice could feel proud, and the corners of her mouth upwards outlined a arc that she was determined to win: "It's very simple, didn't Saint Xia Liya say it, Xino considers himself a
She is very afraid of death, but what she is afraid of is not her own death, but the death of others, and the feeling of powerlessness when facing death. It just so happens that Xino's grandfather is a very old man.
To be polite, it's very possible to leave her at some point. Isn't this what Xino is most afraid of and can't let go of?"
"So, what we have to do is very simple, that is, find a way to extend the life of Xino's grandfather!" Alice said here, pushing up the non-existent glasses on the bridge of her nose, using the refraction of the non-existent mirror
The non-existent reflection came out, and an intriguing light flashed in his eyes: "Not to mention making him immortal, which is impossible, but it is enough to live for at least seven or eight more years, so that Xino can relax.
What's more, due to the lack of manpower, the current Gustav family is actually managed by Xino. Once she leaves, it will be unsustainable. This is probably what she is worried about. But as long as Xino's grandfather recovers, no matter
Can he naturally take over the family and relieve the pressure on Xino? Even the aliens in the Forest of Lothar will not face the end of being displaced because they have lost the heirs of this land! In this way, Xino will completely
She has no worries anymore, what reason does she have for rejecting our invitation? Jie Jie Jie!!!”
this--
Although her last laugh had the temperament of a behind-the-scenes villain, and it scared the birds in several nearby trees to fly up, and their feathers fell all over the ground with a splash, but I have to say that this argument is really weird...
...makes sense.
It's almost suspicious that Alice didn't say it, but that some strange soul was attached to her body and wanted to convey some message through her mouth. Although this kind of thing is also magical, it is better than Alice's suddenness.
It's better to be smarter.
Linge and Saint Xalia looked at each other, quickly exchanged glances, and reached a consensus.
"For now," Linge considered, "it seems to be the only possibility."
"So what should we do?" Saint Xia Liya blinked: "Although it is to help Xino's grandfather extend his life, it is not an easy task, right?"
"Lifespan cannot be changed." Ringer first came to a conclusion, and then changed his angle and said: "But as far as I know, the reason for Mr. Van Yandru's current situation is not only aging, but also the fact that he lost weight when he was young.
Injuries. If we can cure his old injuries, maybe he can live in good health for a few more years. For an old man of this age, it can be considered the end of his life."
Living a life without illness or injury is something that many people dream of.
And when it comes to treating injuries... Saint Xalia and Linge glanced at Metien at the same time. This look made the little pink-haired girl shrink her neck with guilt, and said nonchalantly: "I haven't learned that yet.
The advanced part?"
Strictly speaking, she can only treat minor illnesses such as fevers and colds, and it may not be effective. This can't be blamed on Medien's lack of hard work. It can only be said that medicine is so broad and profound, especially after adding extraordinary elements.
, even those magicians who are good at mixing potions or old wizards who are proficient in witch doctors often make mistakes, let alone a teenage girl?
Since medical treatment is not possible, we can only turn to occultism for help.
"Go and ask Rorona." Lin Ge said, "She might have some ideas."
"Yes." Saint Xalia nodded in agreement.
So the matter was settled like this, but just when the two reached a consensus, a faint voice came from the side: "Have you... forgotten whose contribution this is?"
Well.
Ringer and Saint Xalia looked at each other.
Can you see ghosts in broad daylight?
…
Today's Cloud Whale Sky Island is still peaceful, and it does not look different just because there are a few fewer people or a few more people.
After returning to the Fairy Sleep Inn, Medien, who had been away from her friends for a long time (actually only for one night), immediately received invitations from Semi and Leticia, asking her to go play in the flower fields of Ietta.
Medien actually wanted to follow Ringer and do serious business, but the invitation from her friends was too tempting. In the end, she bid farewell to her brother with tears in her eyes and went to play happily.
Lin Ge didn't see a certain sea-dwelling princess in the hotel, so he asked Shelia behind the counter and learned that she had been staying in her alchemy workshop since yesterday and didn't even have yesterday's dinner and today's breakfast.
I came over to eat, so I decided to go to the workshop with Saint Xalia to find her. However, in the process, someone shamelessly got involved with me.
"I'm not here to join in the fun." She vowed: "I have serious business with Rorona!"
"What's the business?" Lin Ge glanced at her expressionlessly, knowing full well what she was thinking: "Don't you just want to ask her to help you refine a fake amateur certificate, and then you can sign up for the championship?
?"
"How did you know!?"
Alice was shocked: "I obviously didn't tell anyone!"
Because your idea is so simple that you can guess it with your toes.
"So what?" Even though the conspiracy was exposed, the golden-haired maid was still arrogant and even bit back: "In the end, it's all Ringer's fault. He knew clearly that he needed a certificate to register for the competition but didn't tell me, so I didn't have time.
If you want to take the exam, you can only use this method! If Alice, the talented volleyball player, is unable to participate in this championship because of you, you will become a criminal in history and will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Yes! So, I saved your reputation, you should thank me, Ringer?"
She crossed her arms and raised her head proudly, ready to be thanked by Ringer.
Lin Ge wanted to ask her: "If I tell you that you need a certificate to participate in the competition, will you take the exam? Will you definitely pass the exam? In the end, you will not have to use such crooked methods." In this way, the golden retriever maid will definitely be speechless.
But then I thought about it. Although this guy is usually a bit uneducated, he at least provided them with a useful idea just now, and he barely made some contribution, so I won't argue with her today.
His silence was misunderstood by Alice as a guilty conscience, so she became even more proud. Just when she was about to take the next step, Saint Xalia spoke up in time: "We're here."
Looking up, Rorona's alchemy workshop stood in the clearing of the forest, hidden by the dense branches and leaves, looking small and exquisite.
Alice smacked her lips regretfully, but Ringer ignored her and walked up and knocked on the door. Not long after, a soft voice came from inside: "The door is unlocked, please come in."
Ringer pushed open the door and entered, followed closely by Saint Shalia and Alice. As soon as he entered the workshop, he unexpectedly saw Rorona alchemy. In the center of the workshop was a large cauldron for alchemy, filled with
Some kind of lavender liquid with a suspicious color was produced, and it was reacting under the heat of the flames. It was bubbling, and little monsters named Gur Spirits kept crawling out of the alchemy cauldron, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Amid the evaporating water vapor, Rorona stood in front of the alchemical cauldron, with her back to the three of them. She could only see her beautiful long crystal blue hair floating slightly as the temperature increased.
She held a long silver rod as thick as her little finger in her right hand, gently stirring the reactants in the alchemy cauldron, causing the boiling bubbles to be swallowed up by the slightly tilted vortex the moment they emerged.
On the workbench, there are alcohol lamps, beakers, measuring cylinders and other equipment as well as large and small bottles and jars, all with labels: prominence grass powder, dried horn fungus, rock-sand mixture and even plant ash, etc. Some of them can be seen everywhere.
Materials, some of which I have never heard of before, and I don’t know where she got them from.
Whenever a new material is needed, her left hand will reach into the corresponding bottle, pinch a handful nimbly and quickly, and then sprinkle it into the alchemy cauldron like salt in soup. The whole process even
There is no need to look back to confirm, as it seems that the position of each material has been clearly remembered.
She could also tell the identity of the person just by listening to the footsteps without looking back: "Linge, Xiaoxia, oh, and Alice... It's really strange that you all came to me together. I think something must have happened."
Right? Do you mind waiting for a while, I'll be fine soon."
While speaking, she also added a small cup of blue neutralizer to the alchemical cauldron. Suddenly, the already boiling alchemical cauldron became even hotter, and the color of the reactants began to change from lavender to blue-purple. This skilled man
The alchemist couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, what an intense response. It seems that the quality of the product this time will be very high."
How can this be seen?
Lin Ge cursed in his heart, but did not speak. He just hummed softly, and then brought Saint Xalia and Alice to the workbench, waiting for her to finish the alchemy. Some people know that they should not disturb them at this time, and
Some people lack this kind of consciousness. For example, Alice is looking around, her hands itching. If Saint Xalia hadn't been staring at her, maybe this guy would have taken action long ago.
Even so, her curiosity is still strong: "Laurona, are you refining something weird again?"
"It's weird, not really." Luo Lona smiled slightly: "It's a commission from Gloria. She hopes that I can refine a potion that helps animals develop intelligence, so that her novice can become
She is smarter and understands more commands. Last time I gave her a bottle, and she said it was effective, but not effective enough, so please ask me to develop an enhanced version. It would be best to make her Xiaobai become like Xiaoxia and yours.
As smart as a lamb."
Hearing this, Saint Xalia nodded with conviction: "The lamb is indeed very smart."
"It's obvious to me that you are very stupid!" Alice, who had always held a grudge for some reason, slandered her in front of her master. Anyway, the lamb was not present, so there was no way to refute her.
Ringer felt that maybe she should take some of this medicine.
At the same time, I also understand why Xiaobai was able to easily complete the task of sending messages yesterday. Although it has only been tamed recently, it has a good owner after all and cares about it. If it had been Alice, maybe Xiaobai would have... uh,
