Become a martial girl

Chapter 424 Rest
"Cough...research...no progress..."

In the early morning, everyone who had been busy all night staggered out of the laboratory and walked back to the room.They sat around the table filled with a large pile of simple breakfast, eating exhaustedly.

White Wolf bit a feather duster and walked past the crowd.

"Ah, White Wolf. Don't clean up when we eat, okay? I know, you don't mind dust and stuff..."

Mengdie smiled wearily, and Bailang looked at her, whimpered, and put the feather duster in the corner.It returned to the kitchen, bit a casserole full of meat and put it on the stove, opened its mouth and blew fire into it, and squatted aside to watch.

"Master Sage, I think there is still a little problem with the chain link (the link that forms the magic circle). I don't think magic stones should be placed there, because it will block the magic circle in that area. dropped, unable to connect."

Huo Meng bit the bread and started to discuss.

Sasha took a sip of black tea, raised her tired eyes, and said with a dull expression: "Really? But why do I think the amount of magic stones there seems to be insufficient... Teacher, is there a problem with the calculation of the chain links there? The number there seems to be 421, not 367.9..."

Father Cotton: "No, your calculation is correct. Son, don't worry. I have also noticed the weight of the magic stone. Let's try again tonight."

Having said that, Mengdie also noticed that the research that has not made a breakthrough has made everyone feel a little depressed.Especially Huo Meng, who was always looking at the various documents in his hands while eating, and his anxious mood was clear at a glance.But what can I do?Doing research is not as easy as practicing martial arts by yourself, as long as you lay a solid foundation, you can make steady progress.Once things like magic and science enter a dead end, they may not be able to get out of it for a lifetime, not to mention the curse left by this goddess' relic.

"Father, do you know where the elves are? In that case, why don't we go to meet those elves? Their wisdom may be helpful to us."

Huo Meng raised his head immediately at Mengdie's proposal. He put down the materials and loudly agreed with excitement.

However, Father Cotton shook his head helplessly, and put down the knife and fork in his hand: "Unfortunately, I don't know where the elves are."

"Ah? But, more than 20 years ago, you were not..."

"I did reach the land of the elves, but I did not know what happened. At that time, we encountered a storm at sea, and the ship was broken. When I woke up, I saw that I was in a strange place. His Majesty was talking to an elf girl (Sasara’s eyes dimmed for a moment). Later, when we returned to the coast, it was the elves who cast spells, blinding our five senses, making us sleepy, and then releasing them to the sea. .”

The answer that originally made Huo Meng hopeful was ruthlessly shattered, and he became irritable.The dwarf threw down the knife and fork, picked up the giant ax and rushed to the door, swinging it wildly, venting his grievances.Seeing that Huo Meng was so bored, everyone's uncomfortable mood fell to the bottom again. No one was in the mood to eat. They stood up, tidied up, cleaned up, and went to bed after preparing the room.

"Dwarf warrior, this is for you."

Suddenly, Father Cotton took a fishing rod from the wall and threw it to Hormon who was swinging an ax outside.Huo Meng hurriedly caught it, not knowing what was going on for a while.

"Now, 'Gambi's Fishing' is yours. We can't do any research in this state, so in the next three days we need to relax completely, take a good rest, and adjust our mentality. "

Huo Meng was stunned for a while holding the fishing rod whose handle was very smooth, and hurriedly said, "Rest? But we don't have much time..."

"I told you to rest, you must rest. Ask yourself with conscience, do you have the energy to devote yourself to research now? Magic can't be rushed, it's like the most precise operation, if you don't do it well, you can create a magic circle Explosion, the damage will never be small."

Huo Meng held the fishing rod and stopped talking.Perhaps, he also realized that he was wrong.After being silent for about two or three minutes, he finally walked back with his ax and fishing rod in his hand, went into his room, and went to rest.

Father Cotton turned his head away, smiled at Sasara, Edward, and Mengdie, and said, "You guys also take a rest, I won't do research in these three days, and adjust my body and mind well. By the way, one more day Half a month is the enthronement ceremony of the next king of the Mercury Empire. The capital island should be very lively now, don’t you want to visit it?”

Mengdie touched the back of her head and nodded silently.Two weeks of boring research life had already pushed her to the brink of collapse.Now she just wants to relax... Although this kind of thinking is a bit sorry for those who are still infected by the plague...

"Teacher, what are you going to do in these three days?" Sasha asked.

"Hehehe, I will take care of my cattle and sheep, and maybe go to the island to buy some goods. Or pray for a while and pray to the goddess."

Sasha thought for a while, and said: "In this case, you are alone... Teacher, can you allow me to accompany you?"

For Sasara, Father Cotton is already the only relative in this world that she has known since she was a child.Recalling Prime Minister Ren who was equally good to her, she just wanted to spend more time with this old man now.

"Well, there are also churches in this country, we can go there for a while. Then, Your Highness Edward, Miss Mengdie, you two can go to the capital circle to have a good tour."

Mengdie responded, while Edward curled his lips with a flushed face, and nodded calmly.

--------------------------------

The enthronement ceremony will be held in one and a half months, but the largest island in the capital circle, "Crown", has long been arranged as a country full of fantasy.

Crystal balls floating in the air, changing fountains, colorful flags hanging everywhere and music always echoing in your ears.It all forms part of the most important day in this country.

Compared with other islands, Crown Island is more like Venice, the city of water.There are large and small rivers everywhere here, and various unique bridges and original ships form the busy transportation network of this water country.After a good night's rest, Mengdie and Edward, accompanied by the white wolf, sat on a sightseeing boat and enjoyed the unique scenery of the city.

"Sir, do you want to ask your girlfriend out for a tryst? A very beautiful girl."

The boatman at the helm was a wise businessman, and Edward was willing to pay double the usual boat price due to the appropriate flattery.He held two glasses of drinks bought from other small boats that specialize in buying drinks, and handed one to Mengdie. The two of them sat on the bow of the boat, watching the surrounding scenery and slowly rowing behind them.

"It's such a beautiful city. After the new king takes office, it will definitely become even more beautiful. Ah, Mengdie, do you want to go to an opera? That grand theater seems to be performing."

Edward pointed to a large amphitheater on the other side. Under the effect of water magic, even in this kind of water city, such a magnificent building can be built.

"Whatever. However, the priest didn't give us much sura, so it's better to save some. By the way, boatman, what kind of person is your newly enthroned king?"

The boatman laughed and said: "Although your majesty is young, he has great foresight. With the help of the two big families, Laura and Ji Wen, he is steadily realizing his training to become a good king. Among the two big families And with the help of Creed Lola and Dano Jiwen, the two farsighted regents, presumably His Majesty will make many policies that will benefit us after he takes the throne."

Mengdie said "Oh", she just asked casually about who was in power in the Mercury Empire, and didn't mean to delve into it.However, Edward on the side listened, but couldn't help but smile.

"Mengdie, look at this city is so prosperous. Although I did some decorations when I was about to ascend the throne two years ago, it is obviously too shabby compared to this place."

"What? Remember your throne?" Mengdie smiled.

"Hahaha, where is it. I just feel a little nostalgic. Two years... so fast, I am already 23 years old. If I got married two years ago, I might even have children now."

Mengdie couldn't help but spit out the drink in her mouth. She laughed, patted Edward on the shoulder, and teased: "What? Are you blaming me for ruining your marriage? It's okay, it's okay! Promising young man. Your fiancée from back then is now by our side! If you want to catch up again, you might not have a chance! Hahahaha."

Edward smiled a little awkwardly, and said: "This... please don't make fun of me. (whispering) cough... I don't know if you are really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. If this continues, I really don't know how to live How long will it take to express my heart to you...it's rare for us to be alone today..."

The small boat moved forward slowly, gradually approaching the Grand Theater.The salute in the air began to sound, and it seemed that a new drama was about to be staged.

"Mengdie, tell me, if I successfully complete my task, will it be of great help to Yinyue?"

Edward was a prince after all, and he always missed Silver Moon.Looking at the large amphitheater that Silver Moon never had, his eyes were full of longing.

However, Mengdie was stunned by Edward's question.She took a sip of her drink, and after thinking about it carefully for a moment, she frowned: "Mission? What mission do you have???"
