White Tower Wizard

Chapter 40: Teammates who need each other

   The prevalence of "Magic Element Theory" has greatly widened the boundaries of the term "alchemy". Nowadays, alchemy has penetrated into all aspects of people's lives. From the "hot stones" and "water storage stones" used by Green to the airships in the sky and giant ships in the sea, there are shadows of alchemy in them.

   The large and general "alchemy" has long been broken down into many sub-disciplines. Among these disciplines, some are taboo studies, and one of them is the cultivation of the human body.

This is an extremely esoteric alchemy. The mage who first studied the refinement of the human body was aimed at resurrecting the dead relatives, but later mages hoped to create real artificial humans. This is obviously contrary to ethics and Regarding the laws of nature, most of the mages who study the formation of the human body ended in tragedy.

Therefore, although human body refining has been popular in history for a period of time, it was quickly banned by various countries. The oldest version of "Mage Act 32 "Prohibited"" was released at the 4th Continental Master Exchange Conference. In, "it is strictly forbidden to conduct research on human body refining without authorization" is listed. But in fact, this ban does not have much binding effect. At most, it tells the world that the harm caused by the human body is huge...

Green quickly searched out a lot of information that he had seen in his mind. He looked at the number 17 in front of him in a somewhat unbelievable manner, and finally understood why she looked so weird. Under her humanoid body, there was nothing. A human soul.

   "Then...they created you, why would you want to escape?" He was a little puzzled, looking at Robot No.17, he always felt like it was a conspiracy.

   No. 17 did not speak, but looked at the cart in front of the door. Green followed her gaze and noticed that there were many fragments of human limbs stacked in the cart. The scene was disgusting and cruel. He suddenly thought of the two corpses he had just seen. Suppressing the nausea in his heart, he bowed his head and vomited with a "wow", but fortunately, because his stomach was empty, he barely vomited anything except for some stomach acid.

   "What is this...huh?" He asked vaguely while covering his mouth.

"...No.15, No.16, maybe some of No.13, No.14..." No.17 walked forward slowly, touching a palm that was too long and protruding out of the cart, and said lightly. The terrible truth also made Green feel terrified.

   "I'm not perfect, so there must be 18th, 19th..."

   The 17th was very euphemistic, but Green already understood what she meant. He was surprised and surprised that the humanoid actually possessed such a strong sense of survival!

   "Then you could run away before? Why did you follow me?" Green stood up and asked No.17 again.

Hearing this question, No.17 turned his head instantly, staring at him unblinking, stopped the movement of his hands, walked slowly to stand in front of him, wrapped his hands behind his back and solved the blackness of his body. The laces of the pleated skirt.

   "You...you! No...what are you doing?"

   Green looked at this scene and didn't even know what to say. The action on the 17th was a bit illogical, confusing, and would take off his clothes if he didn't agree with him? When did even cyborgs learn the trick of seducing sex? But he is not that kind of person, absolutely not!

Running with a person of unknown origin by his side is equivalent to carrying a time bomb. Even if the 17th really wants to escape, he must draw a clear line with her and go his own way, even if she is "sexy". It's useless, Green knew what he was thinking.

Under his somewhat shy, slightly worried, and perhaps expectant look in his eyes, No.17 completely unbuttoned the black dress on his body, pulled his hands out of his sleeves, and the large black pleated dress slipped down. To the ground!

   "Hiss!"

   "Think about it carefully, this man-made person has the same appearance, and the appearance of No.17 is not bad...No way, calm, calm, can't think about it, I'm not that kind of person."

   Green's heart was surging, holding his breath nervously, watching the skirt slip off from No. 17, and then...

   Then there is no more!

   He realized that he was thinking too much.

Under the large black dress on the 17th, there is a neat close-fitting riding hunting suit, a short-sleeved white shirt with a naturally open neckline, a leather brown plastic waist vest, and a lower body. The same white tight trousers and tall black leather boots stretched to the knees.

   plus the long hair behind his head, it looks like a heroic look! Without looking at her face, Green couldn't find the difference between her and a capable huntress. He also somewhat believed that the 17th really wanted to escape, so it's convenient for him to be dressed so clearly!

   "You are special, Green Ward... When I saw you in the cell, I felt that all the magical elements flowed freely in your body..."

   No.17 took off his black dress, still staring straight at Green, and while talking, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Green’s hand in front of him.

"What are you doing! It's hard? You just touched the corpse with this hand!" Green was caught off guard, and he snorted in his heart, feeling that the force on his hand was so great that he couldn't pull it out at all, and he felt a touch. It is cold, not at all the temperature of a normal human.

On the 17th, Green’s hand was placed between her chest and her clavicle, and then a blue light lit up under her skin, and the outline of a round stone could be seen vaguely. This magical change caused Green's attention made him unable to give birth to other strange thoughts.

"All my ability to move is provided by this magic core. The magic power it stores is limited. Every week Ralph will use the magic circle to infuse me, so I can't escape. I'm cleaning up because I can't stand it. Interrogation, and the remains of the tower guard who died in the cell, I found a book of Fores’ Law, which says that the human body is an unpardonable capital sin, so if I run away and look for the help of other magicians, the probability is only Will be treated as a monster..."

   Green looked at No. 17 expressionlessly and said plain words, and he felt like the touch on his hand, without temperature. But soon he felt that something was wrong. The magical elements in the air poured into his body unconsciously, and then turned into flowing magic power uncontrollably through his hand in contact with No.17, injected into the flash of No.17's chest. Inside the magic core with blue light.

   Green felt a little flustered, this number 17 was actually sucking his magic power!

   witch! Definitely a witch!

   "You made me discover another possibility. Standing next to you in the cell, I can feel that the concentration of magic power in the air is much higher. Sure enough, you can infuse me with magic..."

   No.17 looked at the rich blue light on her chest, and finally let go of her hand. Green drew back his hand quickly like an electric shock. Feeling the pain, he immediately took it in front of his eyes and looked at it. She actually pinched it red.

   "Okay, let's run away." The blue light on No.17's chest disappeared, and she spoke to Green naturally, and then took a step forward.

   Green was extremely depressed. After listening to what No. 17 had just said, he extracted the central idea, that is, he is a weak chicken that can be controlled, and he can inject magic on himself, so No. 17 ran with him.

   But the question is, why doesn’t she ask him or not?

   "I don't want to go with you!"

   The feeling of being involuntarily uncomfortable made Green very uncomfortable. From being entangled by Yuric, to being kidnapped, and then to this weird man-made man, he could only passively endure everything. The feeling of powerlessness really made him miserable, so the words in his heart blurted out, but after speaking, he regretted it.

   The scene seemed to freeze in an instant. No.17 stopped, slowly turned around and looked at Green, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Why?"

  "..."

   Green didn't know how to explain to No. 17, where there are so many whys, but any normal person, who would go with a strange "unidentified creature".

   After waiting for Green’s answer for a long time, suddenly there was action on the 17th. She touched her back with both hands, and then there were 10 more lancets in her fingers. Yes, that's right, it's a scalpel dedicated for anatomy, and she doesn't know where she hides so many knives, but she does see Green's heart trembling.

"There is no way. If you don't go with me, it will be useless for me to escape. I will die because of lack of magic power. Then I can't let you escape now, but Ute and Francis are already dead, I I can only kill you and push everything on your head..."

   Green looked at the cold scalpel, and quickly waved his hand and said, "Ah...wait a moment! Wait a moment! No hurry! I think we can discuss this issue again! My idea just now may be a little off!"

Seeing No.17's approach to him stopped, he hurriedly said non-stop again: "My consideration just now was a bit imperfect. Now it seems that it is most appropriate for us to run away together! We all need each other, this It's the mutual benefit and win-win thing!"

   "We need each other..." No.17 stopped in place, blinking, as if waiting for Green's explanation.

   "Yes...Yes! You see, you need me to inject magic for you, right? I also...I also need you..."

   What do you need? Green screamed madly in his heart. But this is obviously an excuse he came up with in a hurry, the ghost knows why he needs this weird man? But this time he dared not talk nonsense.

"Oh...oh...oh! I...I need you to protect me! You see, I am not so weak, so I was kidnapped by them so easily. So I also need...I need a strong bodyguard, you are just right! Yes, yes, yes! So I really need you too! We are interdependent..."

   It was so nonsense. Under the threat of a scalpel, Green was so anxious that he was almost stunned by his own words.

   But it seems that it really worked. A moment after he finished speaking, No.17 retracted the scalpel behind his back, just standing and watching Green quietly, his eyes still made him a little hairy.

   "Um... Then we are teammates... right?" Green asked a little hesitantly, but did not receive a reply on the 17th, just as she acquiesced.

   "Then let's go."

   Green accepted his fate, bit his head and walked forward, and quickly passed by No. 17, and then he felt 17 following him again and again.

   While passing by the tall brewing machinery, Grindor took a look, and didn't stop, just tried to ask No.17's doubts in his mind.

   "Are they still making wine here?"

   "Wine?" A syllable sounded from behind.

"That's it, do you know where they will send the wine?" Green pointed to the huge brewing machine and the wooden barrel containing the wine. He suddenly remembered that he had also smelled the strong smell of wine on the carriage before. People must transport wine back and forth between here and the sky camp, and there must be their foothold in the sky camp.

"do not know."

  'S answer on the 17th did not disappoint him either. After all, she was just an experimental humanoid, not knowing it was normal. But Green suddenly remembered what she had just said, and quickly turned around and asked: "You just said that you were cleaning up the remains of the tower guard who died in the cell. Are you the tower guardian of the White Tower Forest?"

On the 17th, because Green’s suddenly turned around, he stopped and thought for a while, then said: “Most of the corpses I cleaned before were tower guards. They all have identities on their guns. And the name, even the two people who are still locked up are tower guardians, but Steele cast a puppet curse on them, one of them is about to die, and the other is completely crazy..."

   Green was very surprised. It seems that this kidnapping was not random. This group of people was specifically aimed at their tower guards, but for what? Baita?

   "By the way, where's my gun? Did you see my things? They were taken by Ute." Green reacted and his belongings were taken away.

   "No, Ute and Francis are not in the room. I just went to see it. Also, we'd better leave as soon as possible. The rest of us may come back at any time."

   Listening to the faint words on the 17th, Green also felt that there was no way, and there was no time to look for it in detail. Since she said that she hadn't seen it, then it might have been placed on the carriage outside. It is better to listen to her and leave first.

   The two quickly walked up the stairs and went through the passage to the entrance of the cave. The entrance of the cave was tightly sealed by vines. He turned his head to look at No. 17, and quickly asked, "Will you open the door?"

   Seeing No. 17 also looking at him, expressionless, tilted his head, and said: "The door? This is the door..."

  Well, if you ask, you can't ask for nothing. I can only rely on myself. Green tried hard to recall the spell that Francis had chanted before.

   "Arathor...Volos...Um...the hole opens..."

  Although it was a little convoluted, Green still stammered through the entire spell. He was sure that he had memorized every syllable accurately and made no mistakes.

   Sure enough, there was a swish of leaves swinging, and the opening of the hole slowly opened, and he finally saw the sky again.
