After the installation of the spirit interface customized for Patil Matil was completed, Ling returned home.
She found a pair of familiar shoes at the door of her house. When she opened the kitchen door, an icy blue figure appeared in her sight.
"Wow, Tio! You're back." Ling leaned over and hugged the girl in the apron, sniffing the virgin fragrance that she hadn't smelled for a week.
Tio made a slight struggle, and Ling quickly let her go.
Ling hasn't grown in size for several years because her body function is locked. Now Tio is 3 miles taller than Ling. Ling can no longer hold her in her arms and make love like before.
"Well, the link between us was suddenly disconnected. I thought something had happened and I came back to check. I saw you were busy before and I didn't bother you."
"Ah, you've already been to the workshop? Why didn't you remind me?"
Because of the teleportation point set up by Tio, going to and from the black workshop is as easy for the two girls as walking to the next room. However, the archmage Tio has set up an identification spell at the teleportation point, limiting that only the two of them can pass. If Ai
It would be impossible for Erberich or Wiseman to visit their homes through the teleportation point of the black workshop.
"I feel relieved to see that nothing is wrong with you, Ling. Ah, the vanilla egg tart is baked."
Tio opened the induction oven, put the dessert on the baking sheet on a plate, then took off her apron and hung it up, and took Ling to the restaurant to enjoy it together.
The two of them chatted about each other's topics while enjoying snacks.
"The link is disconnected because Ling you changed the force guide. Did the limited holes originally change? I never noticed it before. Ling, you now have two magic attribute limited holes, and I have two water attribute
We are tied for the limited time slot. By the way, Ling, didn’t you say in the letter you sent me before that you would be on a business trip for several months? Why are you back so soon?”
"Actually... I haven't gone on a business trip yet. This trip will probably not come back until March next year. I have already resigned from Ryan Forte. I have agreed with President Irina that when you come back from
After Crossbell comes back, you will be the director of the fourth development room."
"Well, it actually took so long, okay, okay, okay, okay, I'll come back in a hurry."
After washing her greasy hands with water magic, Tio opened her suitcase and took out her Arcus Zero and some plug-ins that Ling couldn't understand.
"This is a magic tool that I asked Maria Bell to custom-make."
Ling followed Tio's instructions and took out his tactical power guide. After interrupting the resonance, he handed it to Tio. Then Tio quickly disassembled the tactical power guide and installed the plug-ins into the tactical device.
Inside the force guide.
"This is?"
"These are special magic engineering components for communication. At present, conventional force communication can only be carried out in places where the force network is installed. Wouldn't it be bad if I couldn't see Ling for several months? Fortunately, I
I know magic. Problems that cannot be solved with force-guiding technology can be replaced by spells. The link between us can replace 'cause and effect' and make the conditions for casting the spell true. Complete! In this way, even if we are far apart, I can still be with Ling at any time.
Let’s chat.”
After Tio reassembled the Arcus Zero, Ling immediately tried out the new functions of the modified tactical force guide.
Ling teleported to the black workshop, then opened her pocket watch and pressed the contact button. A few seconds later, a book-sized light screen appeared in front of Ling's eyes with the tactical force guide as the center. Tio's lifelike appearance appeared in it.
"The Vision Technique is a success!" Tio in the picture made a V gesture, and her happy voice was also transmitted to Ling through the function of acrus Zero.
After returning home, Ling praised Tio.
"It was great that I asked you to learn magic at that time. I'm really sorry you thought of such a method. However, only those who have reached the link can communicate. We are still far from the multi-person communication function of the arcus target."
"Well, as long as point-to-point communication can be realized between you and me, it is enough. Whether I contact you or you contact me, the vision technique is performed by me. This luxurious function is privately customized. In the future,
The mass-produced functions to be launched will definitely not install these components." Tio explained to Ling that although the spell is easy to use, it is not universal.
"Ling, you have to go on a business trip, and I will stay with Crossbell for several months. But with a way to contact her at any time, Ling won't feel lonely even if I'm not by her side."
Tio and Ling made an appointment. After they separated, they would call each other at seven o'clock every morning to say hello. If anything delayed or was inconvenient, they would leave messages to each other in advance. Of course, Ling agreed to this.
Since she has come back specifically once, Tio has no plans to return to Kezhou immediately. She still has one day of vacation, which she can spend with Ling.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Tio asked whether he should go to the hot spring village in the north and enjoy the famous secret hot spring of the Phoenix Wing Pavilion in the empire.
Hidden deep in the Essinger Mountains and surrounded by mountains, the hot spring town of Youmil is the territory of the famous Baron Schwarzer family, which is related to the royal family of Anor. Few people know that this is where Prime Minister Osborne grew up.
Big hometown.
The house of Ling and Tio was built at the source of Spina Creek, south of the foothills of Youmil Mountain. The geographical location is roughly west of between Youmil and Luray. Although they have settled in Luray for several years
, but neither Ling nor Tio has ever visited Yumil, which is located in the northern part of Nordia. In the past, the two of them were eager to devote themselves to research every day, but they never had the idea of going out for a special trip. This time Tio since
After mentioning it, Ling nodded in agreement.
"call)"
The spring in Youmil is not a sulfur spring but a carbonic acid spring, which is the so-called pure natural mineral water.
There was no one else in the women's bath at this time, and they seemed to have booked the place.
Due to height issues, both Ling and Tio only had half of their heads exposed after sitting down in the women's bath. Although they were wrapped in furoshiki (bath towels), the Taiping Princess duo didn't have much body measurements to begin with.
Yan. On the other hand, Tio stared intently at Ling's lower abdomen. Even with the cover of furoshiki, she could still see the outline of the muscle lines.
"Stop staring, I'll be embarrassed." She didn't know whether it was due to the heat or the discomfort of being stared at, but Ling's face turned red and she turned away, trying to escape from Tio's sight.
open.
"It's so amazing. There's no fat at all."
Tio slipped over and put his hands around Ling's body, and then tried to poke her belly with his fingers. Of course, there was no elasticity at all, and it felt like steel.
"Are all martial arts practitioners like Ling?"
"Probably not."
After Ling said that, she stuffed her head into the water. Her blood surged and her face was extremely red. She had developed six-pack abs since she was a child. This was her biggest secret. She never expected that she would be here.
This situation was known to Tio. Although the two of them slept in the same bed for more than a day or two, the two have always maintained a pure friendship, and there has never been any closer physical contact. The soft Pom
Her pajamas had been covering her up well, so she hadn't been discovered... No, wait, maybe she thought she hadn't been discovered, but in fact Tio had known about it for a long time? Wow, wouldn't that be even worse?
Ling buried her head between her legs like an ostrich, trying to escape reality.
Tio also sank his head into the water and reached out to her belly again in diving mode.
The two played in the water for a while, and Tio finally stopped teasing Ling.
Rather than being angry, Ling is actually more shy. Although it is not something shameful, she is very concerned about it. This can be said to be her weakness.
The two stopped talking and silently enjoyed the heat of the hot spring, allowing their bodies and minds to be purified.
The women's room suddenly became quiet, and the chatter from the men's room across the wall could also be heard.
"…………"
"It is indeed the leading hot spring in the empire. I heard that Prince Olibat from the royal family also came here to take a bath last week. However, for some unknown reason, he suddenly changed his schedule and left in a hurry."
"The slutty prince? It seems like his style. Hey, we are busy here. Is it the same for you over there?"
"Yes. We were suddenly entrusted with the task of developing a steam chariot. I don't know what President Irina thought, but she actually asked us to toss with that kind of antique that should have been thrown into the garbage heap of history long ago."
"Listen to me, this doesn't seem to be the intention of the president, but the intention of Prime Minister Osborne. The big shots above are always making excuses. I really don't know what they are thinking."
"It's impossible to use a steam chariot to fight a war, right? The performance of that thing is so different from that of a guided chariot. Even if it is sold to neighboring countries, no one will want it."
"That's it. Let's not talk about this. We should relax on this rare day off."
"…………"
The voices next door gradually became quieter, but Ling and Tio had already heard interesting information from the Leinforte employees who came to soak in the hot springs.
"Steam chariot? Could it be..." Tio made a bowl-shaped gesture with her hands, and Ling nodded.
"It seems that someone has provided information about the gospel plan to Prime Minister Osborne. Wiseman? Ken Parella? No, it should be Alberich..." Ling told Tio his guess.
.
Bai Mian has a careful plan and would not make such a meaningless move.
Although the clown is cynical, there is no reason for him to get into trouble.
Only Alberich, who is a descendant of the Black, will tell the Black Initiator everything without reservation. After all, he is originally from Ishmag.
The head of the black workshop revealed to the prime minister that the gospel would cause the phenomenon of cessation of force. The prime minister entrusted Irina and asked Leinforte to develop the steam chariot.
No, wait, she seemed to have missed one detail before that.
Olibat came to Youmil for vacation last week, and Ogua left in a hurry while taking a bath in the hot springs of Youmil.
Ling, who has a general understanding of the plot of the Locus series, knows that among the many chess players dancing on the stage of the entire Erebonian Empire, apart from the emperor and the prime minister, the most worthy of awe is the emperor who usually seems carefree in front of the people.
The eldest son, Oribat Lezeanor, is dead. There must be undercover agents of the third camp formed by Prince Oribat among the neutral faction of Leinfort.
Then there is no doubt that Oribat has been contacted through the ancient relic Echo Shell, and he has learned about the steam chariot transformation plan. He may have guessed something.
Ling recalled the general plot of Trails in the Sky that she had not recalled for a long time. This period should be the time when Prince Oribat transformed into a performer and went to the Kingdom of Liber to try to make contact with Cassius Bright. Coincidentally,
, now Cassius came to the Erebonian Empire to deal with the Guerrilla Association attack because of Wiseman's behind-the-scenes operations, and happened to pass by Oribat.
Uncle Wiseman anticipated what happened as if he had read the script? No, it was simply because he was too familiar with Alberich, an old friend. For Wiseman, who can freely switch his personality
, as long as you substitute Alberich's action pattern, you can predict his next move. That may be why there is such an arrangement.
Galug Wiseman, who is loyal to the leader of the alliance, and Alberich, who is loyal to the Black Riding God Ishmag, seem to be incompatible with each other after all.
Ling reflected on herself, she may have gotten too close to Alberich recently. The sugar-coated bullets from the black workshop seemed to have corrupted her position, and if this continued, something would not be good.
"As expected, I am still the executor of the association. It was the leader who gave me a foothold and a place to stay." Ling whispered to herself, adjusted her position, and redetermined which side she should be on.
"Huh? Ling, did you just say something?"
"It's nothing, we've almost finished our fun, it's time to go out."
"OK."
After the two of them finished speaking, they stood up and left the women's bath in Fengyi Pavilion.
After this trip to the hot spring town, Tio got on the train to Crossbell and returned to work. Ling, on the other hand, came to the black workshop to continue the unfinished transformation of Patil Matil.
