The dusk scenery in Shadow City is always more charming than the real world. Precisely adjusted light and just the right air refraction can make the soft and mysterious glow evenly splashed on every building that is about to rest, and it is said that in this In this city, the best place to spend this short twilight moment is a mysterious dessert shop next to the military blockade-I prove that this legend is true.
You can't find a better place to spend this peaceful and quiet time than Xiaoxi Dessert House.
There was no one in the dessert house as usual, only a raven who came to help was humming a strange tune and tossing the juicer there. It is even more quiet here. Looking outside through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see that the not-so-wide street outside the store is shrouded in a layer of dreamy orange-red tones, and the last afterglow of the sunset covers the barracks The separation wall and the back wall of the residential houses on the other side dimmed little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye, with a pale golden orange glow passing through the bright glass windows, which also painted this small shop. A layer of warm colors, Sylvia sat across from us with that eternal and tranquil smile, and the afterglow of the sunset danced on the long silver-white hair. We haven’t seen this scene for more than two months. Arrived—the slightly impetuous mood calmed down at this moment, so that I suddenly felt that maybe this is really a wonderful magical power, which only belongs to Sylvia. The magic that can turn all restlessness into a lazy afternoon tea atmosphere in the blink of an eye.
"No. 1 is a good boy—" Sylvia looked at me and Sandora with a smile for a long time, and then suddenly said, "I often come to help—although there is nothing to be busy..."
The number one she was talking about was naturally the Raven 001 who was tinkering with the juicer. This new-generation apostle, who was born after the establishment of the new empire and whose personality seemed a bit out of place with her other comrades-in-arms, did not have her own name so far. Raven 001, and she's happy to be called that—in fact, this eccentric raven doesn't seem to give a shit about anything. She treats everything with a playful attitude, except when completing tasks assigned by her superiors and fighting with Vega.
She is the one who has the closest relationship with Sylvia among all the ravens, and can even be said to be the only "friend" in Sylvia's pitifully small circle of people. Like ordinary friends, it really makes me very curious.
"You live quite leisurely every day." I looked at the spotless shop that had been cleaned, and I could imagine it. Sylvia and the ravens who came to help must have nothing to do here, it must be cleaning constantly, after all, they don't have many guests to entertain. "Oh. Santa Claus... Christmas is already over, isn't it? And no one comes to Shadow City for Christmas."
I noticed that there was a doll of Santa Claus behind the window on the other side of the store, and I could vaguely distinguish the words Merry Christmas written on the small card in front of the doll, so I couldn’t help but say something. A dull guy like Sylvia actually remembered to decorate her small shop for the occasion during the Christmas period. Secondly, she didn’t expect her to be so stupid—there is no one in Shadow City who celebrates Christmas. The only place in this place is A recognized Jesus named Lilina…
"Oh—forgot to take it down," Sylvia looked at the naive Santa Claus not far away. He hesitated for a long time before remembering what was going on, and then thought for a while. "Just leave it there - in case you forget to take it out next year..."
Me: "..." This kind of life philosophy is really strong enough. Her procrastination is based on months, right
At this time, there was a sudden noise from the direction of the counter. There was also the sound of the machine idling and something being crushed. Just as Sandora and I were about to ask what was going on, Raven 001 flashed over, dripping orange juice all over his body, Holding two glasses of freshly squeezed juice: "That... the juicer may be broken."
I stared dumbfounded at Raven 001, this guy had juice all over his face, a small piece of pulp was still stuck on his nose, and a piece of orange peel was hanging on her silver hair, slowly sliding down—this guy was really Ready for juice
"You... worked hard." I calmly took the fresh orange juice squeezed out of the other party's hand after untold hardships, first fished out the orange peel floating on it, then tasted it, and then spit out half of it The gear comes, "It seems that the juice extractor is indeed broken..."
"This kind of primitive tool is not as strong as the things made by the empire, so it can only be used as a toy!" Raven 001 said confidently, and the small half of the orange peel on his head finally fell to the ground as she spoke.
In fact, I don't think this is the root cause of things being used up, but... Forget it, those ravens are mechanical idiots anyway.
"Do you want to use the bathroom?" Sylvia realized at this time, looking at her duplicate body with concern, "Just now..."
"Ah, no need, I'll just use the disintegration technique to clean it up myself." Raven 001 hurriedly waved her hand. I think she made a wise decision: Sylvia's water heater is now saved.
"The new generation of Xiling apostles is very different from the previous generation," Sandora watched Raven 001 mournfully disintegrate the stains on his body with a ball of arcane light at the door, and muttered to clean up the pieces of the juicer , couldn't help but sigh, "They seem to be more obvious in terms of sensibility, and they always have some weird hobbies."
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" I scratched my hair, and I always felt that the appearance of strange new-generation apostles like Raven 001 had something to do with me. Creatures are a huge source of information disturbance. In other words, people like me just go to this station and do nothing. After a few years, a hundred or eighty phantom species will be produced within a hundred miles, so it was born after the establishment of the new empire. These Xiling apostles have a bit of personality... It hurts. It is more or less related to myself.
"I don't think it's a bad thing," Sandora sucked on the orange juice and chewed it occasionally, "The racial nature of the Xiling apostles will not change, at least they will not affect their mission and honor as an apostle because of their personality. And Tower Weil has a statistic that has not yet been confirmed. The probability of the basic soldiers among the new generation of apostles to evolve into a more advanced individual is about 2% higher than the average probability recorded in the old empire, although this is a very insignificant number .But I think this is mostly the result of the enhancement of their perceptual ability—a high degree of mental activity can enhance individuals’ ability to withstand and judge ambiguous information, and help them get more opportunities to come into contact with external stimuli that can allow them to evolve.”
I think what Sandora said is too professional, so I directly translate it into something I can understand: Whether you can evolve depends on whether you are heartless or not. Like Raven 001, you can be a general at first glance. material…
"Ah, that's right—" Sylvia sat quietly with us for a while, as if suddenly remembering something. "Bella Vila said I need you guys - I'll tell her to come out..."
Bella Villa? What does she want from us
Sandora and I looked at each other inexplicably, Bella Villa is an absolutely reclusive person. It can even be said that he is a quieter guy than Sylvia in Shadow City. At least Sylvia still stands behind the counter in a daze every day, but Bella Vila maintains a biological clock that sleeps deep in Sylvia's consciousness every day and wakes up once every seven days on average. She will not take the initiative to come out to find someone .
While speaking, Sylvia had closed her eyes, and her temperament was slowly changing. After a while, she opened her eyes again. The lazy and peaceful expression on her face was gone, replaced by an aura-filled queen demeanor—but Sandora immediately pushed back with the same aura. She glanced at both of us. Nodded: "Oh, come to eat with me?"
Bella Villa's mouth is really not fuel-efficient - the fuel consumption is almost catching up with a big rear eight-wheeled trailer!
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll raise your rent." Sandora gave Bella Villa a sideways look. Occasionally bickering with the other party when they appear seems to be her little hobby. The King of Ravens on the opposite side showed a look of indifference: "Whatever, anyway, my subject is Sylvia, and the one who has to pay the rent is Sylvia, I don't believe that you two are so cruel to bully A handicapped…”
"...Forget it, we didn't bring Lilina and Bingtis with us today. We don't have enough equipment to blame you, or they can make you cry." I waved my hand, "Are you looking for me and Sandora?"
"The fifteen-day zone...has been restored, right?" Bella Villa casually pulled out a small sparkling arcane ball in the air, making the energy core with destructive power jump around in her hand, "I I saw it from the information link. Every time you go out, you can always bring surprises to people. Your actions have never been small, and this time you actually released an information within the void."
It turned out to be this matter. I didn’t expect that Bella Villa, who had announced her retirement from the mountains and forests a long time ago, would take the initiative to care about this news. I was a little surprised: "The movement is indeed not small, and you should know it. This time even my sister and the others got involved too."
"I don't care about your big family," Bella Villa said childishly, making arcane spheres one after another, and arranging them on the table. "All I know is that the 'old friends' 'It's bound to be restless again this time, right?"
The old friend that Bella Vila refers to is none other than the Fallen Apostle. Sandora bluntly admitted: "That's right, Ah Jun and I have already thought about this and made some preparations and plans to mislead the enemy."
"Do you want them to have no time to interfere with the formation of your new regiment?" Bella Villa actually guessed this point directly. Although it was only a rough idea, what she said was close to the point. Only then did my heart tremble: Don’t be fooled by this guy’s lazy appearance now, she was also the queen of the empire back then, and what Sandora and I can think of, of course she can think of it, and it is Thinking about standing at the same height!
"Do you need help?" Bella Villa looked at me in a daze, and suddenly laughed lightly, and the topic jumped.
I didn't react at first, so I nodded subconsciously, and after two seconds passed, a word came out with my mouth open: "What?"
"... Is he usually like this?" Bella Vila looked at Sandora speechlessly, while pointing to me, Sandora spread her hand indifferently: "I think Ah Jun is also very good when he is confused." Fascinating—and he's never confused about big things."
"Ahem. The person is here," I finally came to my senses at this time, and looked at Bella Villa in surprise, "You mean... you plan to go out of the mountain? Help us form an army or train soldiers or something? "
When I realized Bella Villa's meaning, the first thing I thought of was her other identity: one of the 135 Supreme Heads of State of the Old Empire! That is an epic hero on par with Sandora, an epic hero who dropped at least five purple outfits after being overthrown... In short, she is one of the top people among all Xiling apostles, and she is also the leader of all ravens. How high is the attainment in mysticism? I think I am afraid that he is the number one person of the secret law in the empire today. But even that was known early on. Sandora and I have never thought of pulling Bella Villa out to help, the reason is that she is Bella Villa, the King of Ravens, only rarely, and most of the time she is just a member of the military blockade. Selling desserts online, she is just a poor girl who lives on relief money every month. Sylvia's image of nothing but being cute is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Sandora and I didn't include her in the labor list...
"I can tell what you're thinking just by the look in your eyes." Queen Bella Vila looked at me from the corner of her eye in style, and then snapped her fingers in the direction of the counter. "Number one, come here."
Raven 001 quickly ran over. There was still a small half of the cake in his hand. My mouth was bulging, and I was immediately surprised: "You were stealing food from behind for half a day just now?!"
"Anyway, most of these things can't be sold," Bella Villa waved her hand, "It's a great help for her to eat all the cakes left over from yesterday..." Before she could finish her sentence, Sandora's eyes widened. Holding the table with bare hands: "I can help too!"
Bella Vila looked at Sandora helplessly: "...can you stop being so ashamed? At least it's Princess Warsong."
Sandora pointed to the flour on Bella Vila's chest and the unwiped cream on her face: "You are still the Raven King."
"That..." At this time, Raven 001 finally swallowed the cake in his mouth, and waited for the gap between the speeches of the few big shots in front of him, and hurriedly said. "Mother, do you have an order?"
"Sit here. Deep standby." Bella Villa pointed to the chair opposite us, and Raven 001 let out a oh. There was a clear look on her face. It seemed that she knew what Bella Villa was planning, and then she sat down as instructed. Under Sandora's and I's unclear eyes, she slowly closed her eyes, and finally I lay down on the table with a bang, and there was a sound of energy release from somewhere in my body, and on the other side, Bella Vila also lost consciousness, but the latter was prepared, she pulled my arm in advance and used it as a pillow …
"Perfect conversion." Less than five seconds after the deep standby, Raven 001 sat up and hooked his chin at me and Sandora. You will never make such a bold move against your superiors!
And "Bella Villa" lying on my arm also moved, raised his head and smiled at me: "You have cream on your arm—"
It was the kind of slow, soft tone as if he hadn't woken up.
"You are..." I vaguely guessed something, and pointed at Raven 001 in surprise, the latter nodded proudly: "As you can see, I am Bella Villa, and I borrowed this body temporarily."
Under Sandora's curious questioning, Bella Villa, who temporarily borrowed the body of Raven 001, finally explained her research results: "You also know that Sylvia and I share a body, and even a soul. It's incomplete, so I can't leave my body at all, and most of the time I can only hide in Sylvia's severely delayed head as a personality. Originally, it didn't matter to me, hiding in Living in another person’s spiritual world, there are actually a lot of things to do—presumably the mother and daughter living in your spiritual world have the most experience—but after hearing the news of the fusion of the parent star recently, I think I should come out and help , after all, you have taken me in anyway. This is the solution I found: temporarily entering the body of a mass-produced raven, I can stay awake for a long time, and have almost the same independence as before Mobility, you see, my affinity for this body is almost 100%.” The possessed version of Bella Villa moved her arm—the arm of Raven 001, with a satisfied look on her face. "All mass-produced ravens are copied from my soul fragments. They are the extension of my soul. Temporarily occupying the body of one of the ravens will not cause any pressure on both parties, and because the consciousness is still attached In terms of my own soul, this does not violate the principle that Sylvia and I share one soul, because theoretically, all the ravens in the empire share one soul."
"Can you still do this?" I looked at Bella Villa in amazement, and Sylvia, who was sitting next to me with a smirk of five plus in sugar, "Is Raven 001 okay? Besides, can you keep How long has it been like this?"
"As I said, this kind of 'borrowing' doesn't have a big impact on both parties. At most, you can recover after rest," Bella Villa said, and suddenly smiled at me, "Oh, the number one cheered just now. One sound, because you cared about her in the first place. Let me think about it... This is the first time to fully switch, how long it can last is not clear, but according to my guess, a switch can last at least a day or so, and then you need to rest for a day, but this Compared to living with Sylvia, the state is already much better, and I plan to let those mass-produced ravens take turns as my carriers, after all, their tolerance is still weaker."
"So now, I can act freely," Bella Villa said conclusively, and focused on Sandora and me, "I think you need an expert to tell you how to form a powerful spellcasting Legion of Raiders." RQ
