Chapter 3176 The Final Storm (One Hundred and Eighteen)
At the same time (?), on the river in the outskirts of Montpellier, on the deck of the landboat [The Flying Frenchman].
"So awesome, so awesome!" Bailey, the blue fox boy pretending to be the little prince Cloval, was waving his arms excitedly and looking out from the railing at the edge of the deck. When the Yanglu ship started speeding, the scenery along the way was really quite
beautiful.
The wilderness of the French forest is a mesmerizing green, with melodious smoke rising from the countryside in the distance under the sun, and the whole world is filled with an atmosphere of tranquility and leisure.
No one would have thought that beneath this tranquility, a bloody and fierce battle was going on in another corner of the world.
Elaine smiled lightly. He pretended to look at the scenery while worrying. If the little fox was so excited, would he let down his guard again and release the illusion (or at least reveal the fox's tail) in public, letting his
Has your true identity been revealed?
However, Bailey, as the prince's stand-in, was actually very professional. Even in this absent-minded situation, he did not reveal his fox tail, and maintained the complete human appearance from head to toe, the appearance of a handsome blond boy.
. Bailey said that even in his dead state, his illusions can last for at least a week without revealing the truth. The foxes' illusions may really be that powerful. What's more, Bailey is a special individual among them.
Ability maximized.
"Big brother, big brother, look there! That cloud looks like you!" Bailey said, pointing to the white clouds in the distant sky.
"Ah, it's really true." Elaine said, seeing the white cloud that looked like a lion's head in the sky: "No, that's not right, I don't have that much mane."
"It will happen in the future. Isn't Big Brother a lion?" The little fox gently pulled the short hair on Elaine's chin: "But Big Brother Elaine is good like this, very refreshing, hehe."
Elaine can't deny this. Because this face is actually Leo Porter's face, but the fur color is white. Unlike the fully adult lion, Leo looks like a half-adult young lion at best.
As a human, there is no thick lion's mane like a beard that wraps around the entire face. Leo has nothing special except that his hair is relatively long (longer than the average big cat), and Leo still has one
With medium-long hair, Golden Lion looks like a "cat person" with longer hair and not much beard.
But this is also one of the things Elaine likes about Leo, because that kitten face looks very delicate and clean. If Leo's face becomes mature, it will be full of lion's mane, although there is indeed a lion
As majestic as it is, but without the delicacy of a young man, it will lose its original cuteness.
In order to extend his life, Leo used the [recovery drug] for a long time, which caused his body to remain in that state and barely grow. And Elaine is also a creature that is close to immortality. After copying Leo's genes, he will always maintain this state.
The appearance, this face will never change. His memory of Leo will remain like this forever, and he will always maintain the appearance of this lion-man boy.
...It would be great if that were the case.
"Big brother? Big~Brother~Brother~!" Bailey gently pulled Elaine's whiskers. But he knew how to measure his strength and used a force that could attract Elaine's attention without hurting Elaine.
He asked: "What are you doing in a daze? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, it's not..." the white lion boy hummed: "It's very windy here. If it blows for too long, you'll catch a cold. Do you want to go back to the cabin?"
"Yes, it's windy here, you'd better go back to the cabin, young master." The Holy Lily Knight girl dressed as a maid also took the opportunity to agree.
"No, give it another try, it's so boring in the cabin!" The fake Prince Cloval pouted and took out something from the delicate storage pocket around his waist.
Kite?
"Hey hey hey, do you want to play with a kite, big brother?" Bailey smiled and said: "I have wanted to try it a long time ago. It must be very fun to fly a kite on the boat."
It's a good idea. When you fly a kite on a high-speed boat, you don't have to worry about lack of wind to lift the kite. And the child seemed to expect that someone would play with him, so he actually prepared two kites. They are both very interesting.
It is exquisite, with a steel wire frame and a body made of thin canvas. The cotton string tied to the end of the kite is flexible and strong, and the little fox is very particular about not using fiberglass strings that are dangerous and have an impact on the environment.
"Okay... let's play for a while, then we have to go back to the cabin." Elaine muttered. In fact, he did have a childlike innocence and wanted to fly a kite.
"Okay, it's a deal. Why is the elder brother as verbose as Dio..." Bailey thrust a silver-white kite into Elaine's hand, while he himself held another lemon-yellow kite.
Maybe the kite was his favorite color, and its shape was quite cute. It should have been in the shape of some kind of cartoon character—a fat yellow mouse, with pointed ears and a strange jagged tail.
"Hey, hey, the electric mouse is flying~" Bailey put the kite into the sky. It faced the wind and flew very high, flying dozens of feet in the air.
(Why does this title sound so bad from all aspects...)
Elaine also took advantage of the situation and flew the kite into the sky. Seeing the silver-white eagle-like kite flying freely in the air, he felt inexplicably relaxed. Just a little bit.
"Dior, do you want to come and play with me? I also left a kite for you?" the fake little prince said with a smile.
"No, I'll forget it." The fake maid smiled bitterly and said, "Master, you can play, I'll show off. Don't play too much, or you'll get scolded by the crew."
"No, no, we won't cause trouble to anyone." The blond boy grinned. In fact, he specifically chose to play at the back of the deck. The kite he flew out was fluttering above the stern of the boat, basically not giving any trouble to anyone.
People cause trouble. This is the clever thing about Bailey. He thinks a lot before doing things, unlike ordinary brats who just do whatever they want, regardless of the consequences.
After the female knight Dior walked a little further, the little fox came close to Elaine, almost resting her head on the white lion boy's waist, and whispered: "While Dio is gone, can I tell my big brother a secret again?"
"
"Well, tell me?" Elaine thought it was not an important secret, so she agreed casually.
"This time I came to Montpellier actually to satisfy a willful wish of mine. And because I wanted to die for the real prince, the adults took pity on me and agreed to my willful request." Bailey said
: "I came to Montpellier to investigate my life experience."
"Hmm... can you check it?" Elaine couldn't help but wonder. Bailey said that he was a child born of a slave, and his mother passed away when he was born, and he didn't know who his father was. This child
If he is really that powerful, is there still a way to find out his life experience?
No. If you are investigating as a prince, you should be very powerful. Any organization in France will make it convenient for this "little prince" to easily find the information he wants.
"My mother was a slave, and she left as soon as I was born. I already knew this, so there is no need to check." The little fox continued: "But I still want to know who my father is. Well... you know, orcs only
Can combine with an orc and give birth to children. So my father must be an orc too, right?"
"Yeah." Elaine replied vaguely. This child knows quite a lot about adults. He knows so much at this age, I really don't know whether it's good or bad.
Bailey controlled the flight of the kite, making it swing left and right in the air rhythmically, as if dancing: "I'm sure dad is not a slave. No slave master in the world would allow his orc slaves to fall in love freely and then give birth to children."
.
So it is very likely that the slave owner borrowed [seed] from other places - just like most slave owners did, he borrowed the seed for his female slave and asked her to give birth to new slaves to increase the number of slaves.
The number of slaves. - By the way, because I was born with the ability to use illusions and was a very precious individual, the Orleans royal family bought me from the previous slave owner. The previous slave owner never abused me, and even
He also sold me at a high price like he was a treasure. I have no objection to him."
(It’s scary. This kid is as big as a brat, but he actually says such scary things with a calm face... And he even knows exactly what [borrowing seeds] means. It’s scary.)
"In short, the facts are as I guessed. It was indeed my former slave owner who borrowed the [seed], and it was borrowed from a well-known genetic bank here in Montpellier."
Elaine frowned.
France does have such an institution. Anyone can donate genetic material to this institution for free, and this institution also manages and stores these donated genetic materials for free.
In fact, one of Elaine's purposes in going to Montpellier was to anonymously donate his genetic material - and he had already done so. Naturally, the donation was not his own genetic material, but Leo's -
—Because Elaine transplanted Leo's "that".
Therefore, the [species] used to give birth to Bailey were also borrowed from that institution. It is reasonable, even if it sounds terrible.
When Elaine donated genetic material, she was advised by Dr. Bordeaux that the things he donated might be used for "breeding" with other slaves, and the children born to them might also be slaves, destined to live a miserable life from birth. At that time,
Elaine didn't care, because he was in a hurry to donate those genetic materials before they were "genetically copied". Thinking about it now, it's quite regrettable to think that Leo's children might become like that.
.
"Then I found out," the blond boy continued mysteriously: "In that institution, I took advantage of my [prince] status to check and found out who my father is."
"...Who?" Elaine's ears moved, a little concerned.
"Well, I won't find out the name. The genetic material was donated anonymously. I can only find out that the donor's race is the Lion Tribe, and the genetic material was donated about ten years ago." The little fox said with a smile: "So I
Well, my mother is a fox and my father is a lion.
——I am half of the lion-human race, and I am the same race as Elaine. Isn’t it amazing?”
"Really, really?" Elaine looked at Bailey in disbelief, as if his whole body was being shocked by electricity.
