"Visiting friends?" After hearing what Elaine said, Daniel couldn't help but wonder.
Although he didn't know the origin of Elaine, the White Bear, he subconsciously felt that as a White Bear, this guy would not have any friends in Great Britain. What's more, Elaine's current condition is so bad, why?
You have to choose to visit your friends at this time, why don't you go back to where you should be and lie down in bed to rest?
"It's okay to visit friends, but is it a long way there? It won't take a long time?" Daniel then asked again. Although he tried his best to hide the impatience on his face, he also knew that this impatience must have already appeared on his face.
He vaguely revealed it when he spoke.
"No, it's not far. Soon." The White Bear insisted.
The white bear man in front of him, who seemed to have no confidence, was insisting on doing something. Daniel knew that this white bear man would not simply give up if he did not satisfy Elaine. So the young silver knight sighed,
Ying Yun said: "Okay, I'm free all day anyway, so what if I stay with you for a while."
"Thank you, thank you. You are such a good person." Elaine looked at Daniel with a grateful face, her eyes shining brightly.
Although the other party's thanks were sincere, Daniel felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart when the White Bear Man said this. He felt as if his heart had stopped just now.
"Then, hurry up and finish your meal and leave ------" Daniel just wanted to urge the white bear man to finish the food he ordered. Unexpectedly, during their conversation, the waiter just brought the vegetable stew one plate after another as a matter of course.
Come up, and the white bear Elaine also poured into her stomach one plate after another of the stew that was served as a matter of course. Before the conversation was finished, there were already five more empty plates on the table.
"Well, what?" Elaine was still concentrating on licking the plate of the last bowl of vegetable stew, trying to eat the last bit of food. He didn't even hear what Daniel just said.
"No...it's nothing." Daniel stood up from his seat, suppressed the veins that originally popped out from his forehead, and muttered: "Why should I care so much? If I care too much, it will make me look like I am
Very stupid."
The White Bear Man couldn't understand what the Silver Knight boy was talking to himself, so he tilted his head and looked at Daniel.
After settling the bill, there were still five copper coins left. Daniel put the remaining coins in his hand and secretly sighed at the risk - he almost didn't have enough money to pay for the meal.
"So, where are you going next?" he asked after walking out of the store.
"Go to Master Merlin's research institute." The White Bear replied.
"Huh?" Daniel was stunned for a tenth of a second, "Oh, a research institute... Prime Minister Merlin did have such a research institute before. But it has been suspended. Haven't you heard of it?
?There was a *user* attack on the research institute before, and the entire institute was burned down. It was very badly damaged and is still being repaired. There is probably only a construction site left on the site. The people who originally worked there have all moved to Ayr
We went to the temporary research institute in Semburg. There will be no one else except the workers at the old institute site, let alone anyone you know?"
"I, I know." Elaine replied, "But that's right there."
"When I went there, I could only see a group of workers repairing the burned-out research institute, so you want to go?" Daniel became more and more confused: "If you don't want to go, just go, as long as you like it."
"Thank you, thank you." Elaine replied, not knowing whether it was because of gratitude or because his body was heating up, a mysterious blush appeared on his face.
Daniel quickly turned his face away, feeling that his heartbeat suddenly missed another beat at that moment.
Daniel originally thought that Elaine had eaten a full meal and sat down to rest for a while, so she should have recovered a lot of strength and be able to walk on her own. But it turned out that the white bear man was still weak enough that he needed Daniel to support him--at least for a while.
Putting a hand on Daniel's shoulder to lend strength. The Black Iron Knight boy is not too tall, and although the White Bear man is not tall in his race, Elaine's size is not suitable for humans (especially a teenage human)
He is quite tall for a young boy. Elaine puts her hands on Daniel's shoulders to help him walk. From a distance, it really looks like an orc bullying a human boy. If it weren't for the fact that Daniel is wearing a knight's armor of the Knights of Great Britain,
It is estimated that the two of them will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble while walking on the road like this.
"You, you are quite powerful." Elaine suddenly asked: "Are you a natural strongman or something? You can actually bear part of my weight."
"There are some reasons, but the reasons are very complicated, so I won't explain them." Daniel said casually. It would take several hours to explain this matter, and Elaine the White Bear looks a little stupid. Can you understand?
It's also a question. Does he have to explain to Elaine why he got the dragon's blood and the succubus's magic power at the same time, but was not turned into a stone statue by the dragon's blood and poisoned by the succubus' magic power?
"Okay, okay..." Seeing that Daniel had no intention of explaining further, Elaine stopped asking. Then there was an awkward silence between the two. In addition, Daniel wanted to avoid people.
Even if I walked in the suburbs, I would try to choose a path less crowded. The two of them didn't talk along the way, and there weren't many passers-by around. It was so quiet that it was uncomfortable.
Merlin's research institute is actually just outside London, and it's not too far from here. But because of the silence along the way, the ten-minute journey felt extraordinarily long. Until Daniel saw from a distance that it was surrounded by engineering canvas.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he vaguely heard the sound of banging coming from the construction site. They finally arrived.
Because today is not a holiday, the workers are working seriously again. Viewed from this close, the construction site can even be said to be a bit lively.
The so-called "repair" is to use a special repair concrete to re-pouring and consolidating the parts of the building that were damaged by the fire. If necessary, workers will even use new steel bars to re-weld and reinforce the parts damaged by the fire.
Destroy the exposed old steel bars. In this way, after the old and new are connected, the overall structure of the building will be mechanically strengthened. And because the rubble of the building that was half burned in the high temperature but has not yet completely peeled off needs to be cleaned, workers can
It is said that it was rebuilt while destroying. They knocked out the unstable parts of the old rubble and filled it with new concrete. That's why the lively and booming sound in the construction site can be heard endlessly.
"It's so noisy." Silver Knight boy Daniel couldn't help but hum.
"It's okay..." Elaine from the White Bear said. He had worked in a construction site before and was used to the noise at the construction site.
"Then what?" Because the noise in the construction site was too loud, Daniel raised his volume by more than ten decibels in an attempt to make the White Bear people hear him clearly: "I'm here, but there are really only workers here. Do you want to visit?"
Workers here?"
"Go back to the backyard." Elaine instructed.
Daniel didn't say anything and silently helped the White Bear man move to the backyard of the institute. However, this institute actually does not have a strict front yard and a backyard. After all, the institute itself is a building with a relatively modern appearance. The so-called front yard
The hospital is just a parking lot surrounded by concrete walls. It originally seemed to be used to facilitate the entry and parking of various large trucks - the research done by Prime Minister Merlin here seems to require the transportation in and out of various materials. And the institute
The backyard is actually close to a forest area, almost not bordering the forest in the suburbs. Only some sparse walls are used to separate the trees in the backyard from the woods in the suburbs. What is the point of doing this? Maybe it is only
Prime Minister Merlin himself understood it. But I have to say that Merlin was a very far-sighted man. It was precisely because of the barriers of these walls that when the research institute was engulfed by fire, the disaster did not further evolve into a forest fire, and the only areas that were burned were
It's just the trees in the backyard of the institute.
"Hmm..." Seeing what the backyard of the institute looked like, Elaine the White Bear looked a little worried.
"What's wrong?"
"Ying, it should still be there, right? Could it be that he has left..." Elaine muttered to herself.
"What are you talking about?" the young Silver Knight asked curiously.
"Well..." Elaine replied vaguely. He didn't even pay attention to the question Daniel asked. He was more focused on finding something in the burned-out backyard grove.
"Could it be...really gone?" He continued to mutter.
"So what exactly is missing??" Daniel became more and more curious.
"Squeak------" Suddenly something made a sound. The sound was very strange.
"Uh, it's still there!" Elaine shouted happily: "Come here, Liz."
The thing that was hiding among the shadows of the trees and making the strange noise finally appeared. Compared with the charred black everywhere, the shadow formed a sharp contrast. It was a very beautiful white squirrel. Normally a squirrel
There is no such snow-white fur color. The squirrel's appearance should be due to albinism. But its albinism did not take away the black markings on its back. The typical squirrel markings were retained. And they are similar to
Different from ordinary albino animals, this squirrel's eyes are not the scary red, but azure, as beautiful as two sapphires.
"Uh, squirrel." Daniel seemed to understand something.
"Squeak!" That squirrel also recognized Elaine the White Bear. When Elaine called it that, it immediately came over familiarly, without fear at all, and ran up to the White Bear and the Silver Knight boy in a few steps.
"So, I met him by chance when I stayed in Master Merlin's research institute with my father." Elaine looked at that special white squirrel and said, "I have always wanted to raise one, but there is no one in the research institute."
I wanted to keep a pet. My father also said that squirrels are wild animals and it is best to be left to nature. So I didn’t catch it as a pet. Instead, I brought food to the backyard to feed it every day and make friends with it.”
"Oh," Daniel agreed perfunctorily. Now he finally understood that this white bear man didn't have many friends at all, and only this little animal was willing to be his friend.
