At the same time, somewhere on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Great Britain, in Vivian's research institute.
"I'm back." When Lianyin returned to the research institute, she looked radiant, with a spring breeze on her face, as if the fatigue accumulated over the years had dissipated in an instant, and as if a long drought was greeted by sweet rain.
"You're finally back." Vivian looked at her assistant with a slightly funny look. She seemed to have seen through everything: "You haven't come back to the institute since last night. You and Westad went out for dinner.
, and then it took a whole day. When you came back, you had put on a new set of clothes, and judging from the workmanship and texture of the clothes, it seemed that someone had just spent a lot of money to buy them for you.
.Uh-huh, I don’t need to continue the analysis, I’ll get to the conclusion right away.”
"Don't be like this, Vivian." Lianyin blushed and said with a smile: "I just went out for a dinner with Westad last night. After drinking, it was not suitable to come back to the institute.
I went home and went to bed. But today he did ask me to hang out again. We went shopping all day, went to the movies, and then had a candlelight dinner. But our relationship was just that, we didn’t have sex.
Do anything beyond ethics and morality."
"Hey, not yet?" Vivian looked at Lianyin with a slight disappointment: "You are really useless."
"Who do you think I am?" Lianyin couldn't laugh or cry: "Do you think I am that kind of person?! I am a mother with a child. How could I just casually have sex with a man I just met not long ago?"
matter!"
"I really didn't expect you to be so conservative." Vivian said to Lianyin jokingly: "If it were me, after being widowed for so many years, and seeing a man with good conditions like Westad, I would probably...
He has already taken the initiative to throw himself into his arms. Besides, this is also for Husky's good. The child has never had a father, and there will always be something missing in his life."
"Let's not talk about this for now." Lianyin's face turned red: "I want to take the matter with Westad slowly step by step. Going too fast will only make people breathless. Now, we can talk about it.
Is it about work?"
"Of course, of course." Vivian said with a smile, and at the same time pressed a button on the research room console.
The curtain wall of the research room opened, and a larger mechanical warehouse opposite appeared in front of the two people. A medium-sized ship or chariot or something of similar shape appeared in front of the two people.
It is almost in a finished state.
Lianyin couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's a shame you have extra time and funds to do this."
"Shh." Vivian made a gesture to Lianyin, telling the girl from Patimo to stop talking nonsense and just cooperate with her: "It's finally completed anyway. Don't worry about the funds. Great Britain will reimburse me."
Lianyin didn't actually understand everything, but she knew that Vivian had her reasons for acting so mysteriously. She began to guess the other party's intentions, and then cooperated with Vivian fully and said: "Indeed. As long as it is completed.
Just do it."
"So what are you going to do next?" Lianyin then asked, "Do you want to spray paint and put some flowers on it to decorate it?"
"How is that possible?" Succubus smiled calmly: "We will conduct the final system test tonight, and then we can report the completion of the [Explorer] to the people in Great Britain tomorrow. They will only send people over to pick up the goods."
"That's okay." Lianyin also smiled. She understood more and more what Vivian was thinking.
"Speaking of which, are the group of knights stationed outside the research institute still there?" Vivian asked again.
"Today is a holiday. A lot of people have gone back to rest. There are about a dozen knights left taking turns to stand guard." Lianyin replied, "Westad also spent the whole day shopping with me. He is also very good."
When he's tired, I'll let him go back first."
"You are really my best assistant, Lianyin." Vivian said happily.
"Don't forget that I'm just a temporary loaner. I will eventually go back to help Master Merlin." The girl from Patimo said with a bitter smile.
"That's okay, at least I know where to find you." Vivian smiled and said: "Okay. There are still a few hours until midnight. Before sending it on the road, we will conduct a final system check on this big toy.
Bar."
"Of course." Lianyin replied calmly.
"Then, let's get started." Vivian walked to the console. Just as she was about to press the button on the console with her hand to instruct the golems in the institute to conduct testing, the institute suddenly went dark.
here we go.
"Huh? Power outage?" Lianyin still kept calm and hummed, pretending to be surprised.
"Maybe it's because the long-term power-consuming work has burned out the wiring there," Vivian replied.
"Shall I go to the electrical room to check the situation?"
"No need." Vivian continued: "The research institute has three backup power sources. Even if the main power supply fails, the backup motor will work immediately to make up for the missing power in the research institute. Let's wait a little longer."
"Okay." Lianyin praised Vivian in her heart for being such a great actress, and said while holding back her laughter.
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
It was still pitch black.
Three minutes passed, and the red emergency lights in the institute came on. At least the basic lighting was restored here.
"How long will it take to restore the backup power?" Lianyin asked again.
"Usually five minutes."
Then, five minutes passed.
Still the power has not been restored.
"It's so strange." Vivian pretended to be confused and complained: "It's okay if the main power supply burns out, but the other two available backup power supplies also have problems at the same time? How is this possible?!"
"Or maybe there is a problem with a certain main power supply line. No matter how many backup power sources there are, there is no way to provide power to us?" Lianyin then analyzed: "We should search separately to see what happened.
Is it okay?"
"That's fine." At this time, Vivian had secretly taken out the nine lightsabers she had hidden from her waist. The hilts of seven of the lightsabers were quietly wrapped in her hair, ready to be used at any time.
When the attack state was triggered, she held one of the other two tightly in her hand, and handed the last one to Lianyin.
"This is a flashlight." Vivian held back her laughter and said, "Some places in the institute do not have emergency lighting systems, and it can still get quite dark when it gets dark. You must be careful not to fall when you move forward in the dark.
Already."
"Of course." Lianyin also held back her laughter and picked up the so-called "flashlight." If the lightsaber blade is adjusted to the minimum output and the barrier is limited to a small area at the top of the hilt, it will indeed
It can be used like a flashlight, and you can't tell it's a lightsaber unless you look carefully. By this time, Lianyin had completely understood what was happening in this research institute, and she also knew clearly about Vivian.
She was making some plans (Vivian had told Lianyin about the plan before), so all she could do was to cooperate with Vivian with all her strength.
"One more thing," Vivian added an additional instruction: "There are many dangerous experimental animals kept at the bottom of the institute. Some of the cages use electronic locks. I can't guarantee that these electronic locks will not be locked during the power outage just now.
It fails. In short, you must be careful not to encounter experimental animals running around in the research institute."
"I understand," Lianyin heard information that was completely opposite to Vivian's narrative. To show that she understood, she said, "I will be careful and will never get close to the bottom."
Everything Vivian said from just now was ironic. Of course Lianyin's answer was also ironic. She said she would avoid the basement when taking action, but what she actually meant was that she would immediately go to the ground floor and release all the experimental animals.
"Very good. Let's go then." Vivian also turned on the "flashlight" and started to go separate ways with Lianyin.
The moment she left the research room, Lianyin immediately headed in the opposite direction to the basement. She rarely used melee weapons, because as a mage, she was used to fighting at a distance from her enemies, and she could defeat the place by casting magic from a distance.
. Having an extra melee weapon in her hand actually easily distracts her and affects the speed and accuracy of her spell casting. But now this lightsaber is used as a "flashlight". Since Vivian gave this thing to
Of course she acted according to the plan. If she didn't use this "flashlight", but instead took out her staff from the subspace pocket to prepare for battle, it would look very unnatural while walking on the road.
And in fact, Lianyin can cast spells with bare hands without a staff. [Patimo] is an enhanced magic war cyborg. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the pinnacle of the cyborg technology of the ancient god-human race.
.Lianyin can hold a lightsaber in one hand for melee combat and use the other hand to cast spells to attack the enemy, so she has nothing to be afraid of.
She walked all the way to the underground level, but along the way she felt that there was some kind of hidden gaze watching her.
Lianyin hates this very much. Being followed secretly and not fighting back is not her style.
Is this what is called fishing?
"What are you doing?" The girl looked at the werewolf young man and asked curiously.
"Fishing." Bedivere put the fishing rod into the newly dug ice hole: "Just dig an ice hole on the lake, put the fishing rod in, and wait for a long time, and you will catch fish."
This is an ancient and traditional fishing method of the Esquimo people. Don’t you even know this?”
"I don't understand. You can use magic to blow up all the fish in the lake in an instant." The wife of the werewolf young man asked curiously: "Why does it take so much effort to catch some fish?"
"Huhuhu, fishing is a kind of fun. What you enjoy is the process, not the result." The werewolf youth said with a smile: "If it is just to fill our stomachs, [the cabin in the forest] can provide us with endless food."
, then what kind of fish are you going to catch?"
"So you are sitting on the ice lake fishing in this ice and snow for entertainment?" The girl was even more puzzled.
"No," the werewolf youth said with a smile, "Fishing is just fishing. The time spent with you is considered enjoyable."
"You" Lianyin's face turned red instantly.
She came back from her contemplation and found herself at the bottom of the research institute. It was obvious that many years had passed and her husband had been dead for a long time. She had obviously decided to abandon the past and start a new life with Wei.
Stade is together.
But no matter what, I still think of those happy times with him again and again.
Lianyin sighed. In front of her was a warehouse with countless iron cages. The creatures in the warehouse were looking at the Patimo girl with their sparkling eyes.
"Okay, it's time to start the carnival." Lianyin stretched out her hand and fired out countless magic light bullets. Under her control, these light bullets accurately hit the iron locks on the cages.
Hundreds of iron cages were opened, and the creatures inside also walked out of the cages.
