The Brave Girl and the Great Demon King

Chapter 43 055: Teenager's Cold War and Friends' Doubts
The monster's attack came suddenly, and it also retreated suddenly, leaving Heller with a terrified back, and a dilemma. If you continue to stay where you are, you will be discovered by the monster sooner or later, but this is already their last base , there is no safe place to accommodate so many of their families, old and young, the only hope left is to quickly build the planned spaceship, so as to have a chance of survival.

For this urgent goal, the people in the entire base worked as if they were in full force, leaving no idle time, and the job of taking care of the injured Leander could only fall to Alicia.

Leander does not have a fragile constitution that is difficult to heal like Alicia, nor does he have a weird blood that cannot be treated by the holy light. After receiving Raphael's healing technique, the hideous wound has begun to heal, but the loss of blood due to the injury The blood and stamina cannot be compensated by magic, and can only be recovered slowly by relying on time. Magic is definitely not omnipotent. The more powerful the magic, the more stringent the activation conditions are, and even a high price must be paid.

Apart from being a little listless, Leander didn't show too many wounded people, which made Alicia's care work very simple, as long as she regularly brought food from the kitchen, and then took care not to let Leander do anything. Strenuous exercise that is not conducive to injuries is fine. Fortunately, Leander is not the kind of personality that would cause people to worry. Most of the time, he quietly leans on the bed and reads a book, so Alicia can also sit quietly. Then he stared at Leander in a daze.

First it was a punch in the face, and then an inexplicable silence. The young man's emotions were very obvious, especially when facing Alicia, he refused to even say a word. In such a strange situation, even with Alicia's sluggish nerves can also clearly feel the awkwardness, and occasionally she will wonder, she is not angry after being punched, so why is Leander angry?
"Lian?" Alicia tried to call out a few times, but she never got an answer. The girl didn't speak any more. Adding magic power into it, while distracted thinking, there should be some room for improvement in her card, and the induction should be more flexible to use.

The thinking and summary of that battle has completely occupied Alicia's pure mind, so this dazed double-black girl didn't notice that Leander was watching her carefully, and she hadn't turned the pages of the book for a long time. There was an indescribable complex emotion on his face, a little disappointed, a little irritable, and unconcealed worries.

"Alicia." The boy finally couldn't help calling out.

"...What, it's time to eat?" Alicia hadn't recovered from her daze, she said in a daze, stood up against the table, and walked out staggeringly, with an absent-minded look, " Oh, I'll go to the cafeteria to get food." Liandel, who had finally made up his mind to apologize and reconcile with her, left the room mercilessly, making the young man who was alone with him blush, and took a good book There are countless folds in the book.

Alicia didn't notice the contradictory and entangled mood of the pale golden boy, and walked nonchalantly, continuing to be dazed.

In the hall of the cafeteria, Alicia met Heller Gregg and the others. In order to build a qualified spaceship for escape as soon as possible, these people have not closed their eyes for several days. But those eyes seemed to be full of bright flames, which were incredibly bright, half because of concentration and busy work, and the other half because of anxiety about the future.

"Hi, Alicia, come to eat, how is Leander recovering?" Noticing Alicia coming, Heller hurriedly waved a spoon to greet her.

"It's okay." Alicia said matter-of-factly.

"That's great. It seems that he can catch up with the installation of the spaceship array." Heller breathed a sigh of relief, grinning and showing his white teeth. This is probably the best news he has heard recently.

For the construction of spaceships, almost all the people in this union can be regarded as laymen. Even with ready-made blueprints, they still feel at a loss as to where to start. It is a deafening wake-up call, reminding them all the time that there is no time to waste, and the monsters will appear again at any time to destroy everything they can see. , adding a kind of annoying anxiety, and feeling that everything is not going well.

"The deck of the magic pattern will be finished soon. When it is installed, I still have to ask Leander to come over and check it, so as not to cause any trouble." Heller patted the seat and motioned for Alicia to sit down and eat together, gobbling Holding the bread, he asked vaguely, "By the way, are you reconciled? When I hit you last time, even I was taken aback. I have never seen Lian so impulsive. Sure enough, Alicia is the most important."

Alicia didn't know how to answer Heller's question because she didn't feel that she had quarreled with Liandel. When she was thinking, Greg on the other side opened his mouth and changed the subject.

"You still care about such nosy things. I went to the warehouse just now and counted the inventory of oil paulownia wood. It is definitely not enough." Greg took out a list and slapped it on the table, and said with a contemptuous look, "At least It's more than half short, and it's impossible to go to the boundary river to collect it, that kind of thing only grows in the depths of the boundary river, and there is no time to go back and forth."

Oil tung wood is a light and strong wood that is very suitable for making spaceships. Because the trade union has abundant stocks, Heller chose this material as the main frame of the spaceship. There shouldn't be any problems, but Heller obviously forgot Calculating, the members of their union involved in the construction of spaceships are all rookies who are getting started for the first time. Exceeding the original budget, especially the oil paulownia wood that is used the most, half of the warehouse’s materials, and not even one-third of the finished products that can be obtained in the end, fell into a predicament all at once.

Looking at the inventory list that has shrunk significantly from a few days ago, Heller felt a headache, and said with his hand on his forehead, "Tell those bastards to be careful, don't waste any more! Is there anything else that can be replaced?"

"Iron wood, if you don't mind flying slower than a tortoise, you can use this, it's stronger than tung wood." Greg said coldly.

"That kind of thing can really fly?" Heller asked suspiciously. Leaving aside other properties, in terms of weight density alone, iron wood is three times heavier than tung wood, just like its name, that is A kind of wood that is as hard as iron and as heavy as iron is not suitable as a material for spaceships.

"Probably there is still a way." Greg pondered, looked at Alicia, and suddenly said, "Listen to them, Alicia has created a gravity card that can even affect the magic power itself. When that principle is applied to the spaceship, as long as gravity is used to change the gravity of the spaceship itself, even if it is all made of iron and wood, it will have no effect."

Alicia was in a daze as if no one else was there, mechanically feeding food into her mouth, completely oblivious to the conversation happening around her, and waited until Greg asked impatiently for the second time before the black girl raised her head slowly. At the beginning, he blinked his eyes in doubt and asked: "Make a huge card instrument, make a huge gravity card?"

"That's pretty much what it means," Greg replied.

"It should work, but you'll have to try it out." Alicia said unsurely, but she didn't immediately reject it. From the bottom of her heart, she was still willing to help. The impression is not bad, and "it happens that I also have some ideas that I want to try."

When Alicia finished her meal and brought the lunch to Leander to the wounded, in the somewhat empty cafeteria behind her, Heller hesitated and said: "We shouldn't involve Alicia in this Such a thing, after all, she is only a minor child, and Leander will not be happy."

"The monsters won't let her be extra merciful just because she is a child. This is a time of life and death, and any power must be used with all its strength." Greg said firmly.

Heller still disagreed, "With their strength, they should be able to leave safely if they are not dragged down."

"They are enjoying the materials of the union, so they have the obligation to contribute to the union."

Heller raised his head in surprise, his expression fluctuating. The giant man seemed surprised, and said blankly and somewhat annoyed, "Greg, that's our friend. It shouldn't be a matter of course to entertain good friends!"

"Since we are friends, it's only natural to help each other, and Alicia herself agreed." Greg replied.

"... Well, you're right." Heller finally let go of the compromise, and finally ended the meaningless debate. Choking dryly in his throat, he couldn't swallow the uncomfortable feeling no matter how much soup he drank, as if something was firmly stuck in his heart, making this lunch tasteless and difficult to swallow.

It felt as if something was quietly changing and diverging. During the last argument, it suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, but at that time, Heller hadn't really realized that some things, after all, couldn't be resolved. Those who tolerate coexistence, even former friends, are the same.
