"Lily, Lily, have you heard?" Mystery Moon rushed into the bedroom and put her face in front of Lily. "Something happened in the college district!"
"Go away. You're blocking my light." She pushed Mystery Moon's face away and continued to adjust the focus of the microscope. She sighed inwardly. Today's replication test was probably going to fail again.
"There was not only an explosion, but also a big fire. Who do you think did it? The Church or the demons? "
"The Church has been defeated by His Majesty. The demons are thousands of miles away from us!" Lily raised her head impatiently and rolled her eyes at her. "I guess some idiot stole the waste from the chemistry lab and brought it into the classroom."
Similar things had happened before. For example, half a month ago, a researcher casually brought a failed piece of pyrocotton back home, wanting to use it as a kindling for the stove. In the end, it was accidentally set on fire by a child, almost burning the house to the ground. His Majesty was furious after the incident. His voice could even be heard in the castle reprimanding those responsible.
After that, the regulations of the chemistry lab were increased several times. The new regulations, which Lily had seen in Scroll, were changed from a thin piece of parchment to a book as thick as an index finger.
"But there was an explosion this time. How can you be so indifferent to what happened in Neverwinter? This is also our home," Mystery Moon said plausibly.
"Stop bluffing. You're just too curious and want to know the answer as soon as possible!"
Lily said angrily, "That's why it should be handled by more professional people. Besides, what I'm doing now is also for the development of Neverwinter." She paused and said, "But you, you've been interfering with my experiment and idling around all day!"
"Oh?" Mystery Moon gave a strange smile. "Then what have you achieved?"
"Uh..." Lily suddenly felt suffocated.
"No, right? You've been staring at the microscope for more than a year, but you haven't helped His Majesty. My electromagnetic power has brought light to His Majesty at night, so that people can continue to work even at night. " Mystery Moon raised her nose and said, "Oh... but I don't despise you, my old friend. Finding out the truth of the problem is also a help to His Majesty."
"Please don't mind me," Lily said hatefully.
She did not know why it was difficult for her to transform the broodmother into a specific species of tiny insects. She could control the shape of the broodmother and try to get as close as possible to the target she wanted to assimilate, but she could not break through this obstacle.
The little girl faintly felt that something seemed to be missing between the two, but she couldn't find a specific clue. So after her ability evolved, other than treating some cold plagues, she spent the rest of her time dealing with microscopes. She could not promote the production of Neverwinter like Anna and Soroya, nor could she bring happiness to the people like Evelyn. She had always been brooding over this.
Lily really liked to observe the complicated world that was invisible to the naked eye, but... she did not want to waste His Majesty's food for nothing, although she would never admit it verbally.
Now, even the stupid Mystery Moon had gone ahead of her. This kind of unhappiness really made her heart ache.
"No, I was wrong... just take it as me accompanying myself." Seeing that she couldn't pull Lily away, Mystery Moon immediately resumed her pleading look. She held Lily's arm and cried, "There's no harm in going out for a walk. You'll be bored to death if you stay cooped up in your room all day!"
Every time this happened, it was difficult for Lily to refuse the other party cleanly.
She impatiently pulled Mystery Moon's arm away, looked at the latter and sighed. "I know, but don't cause trouble for His Majesty and Sister Nightingale."
"I promise!"
How come she did not realize that Mystery Moon would become so clingy after they became familiar with each other?
If she had known this, she would have insisted on asking Leaf or Scroll to be her roommate.
"Then... are we going on foot now?"
"Wait for me here for a while. There are a few sisters who also want to find out the truth. I'll call them all here." Mystery Moon said and hurriedly ran out. A quarter of an hour later, she returned to the room with several witches. "Everyone is here. Let's go!"
Lily was stunned to see the five witches behind her. "You're going to take so many people with you?"
"We also want to help His Majesty!" The one who raised her hand to answer was Amy, who was just as friendly as Mystery Moon. She even looked more lively than Mystery Moon.
"If His Majesty allows it..." The one who said this was Maggie, who was a little timid.
"Well, I..." Vanilla did not need to see. He must have been dragged here by Mystery Moon.
"Mystery Moon's theory is very interesting. I'll go with you." My God, even Evelyn was here... Didn't she have a wine-making task today?
"I just need to do what I did last time when I secretly read the test paper. If there are people watching, I won't use my ability." The last one was A Xia. She looked quite nervous, but she was more eager than last time.
"Oh no, these guys have all been bewitched by Mystery Moon. She asked you to come just so that one more person can share the responsibility if His Majesty blames her in the future!"
However, seeing Summer's appearance, Lily felt a lot more relaxed. Neither Nightingale nor the Ministry of Justice took Summer with them, which meant that what happened in the academy was not a big deal. Perhaps, as she had guessed, there were several witnesses when the incident happened, so the consequences were not too serious.
"Forget it, I'll just accompany them for a stroll."
...
Maggie summoned the Magic Ark, which carried them to the academy area. Through the roof of the ark, Lily could clearly see the scenery on the ground. It was a wonderful feeling. It was as if they were sneaking under the ground, but it was like swimming in the sea. When they looked up, they could see the blue waves on the surface.
A cordon had been pulled up near the academy, and black-uniformed policemen were guarding at every intersection to prevent residents from approaching. However, this symbolic blockade was meaningless to the ark. They went straight through the streets and walls and entered the academy.
This was originally a mansion of a noble in Stronghold. Later, it was further expanded by His Majesty and became the primary academy of Neverwinter today. However, most of the houses were still made of wood, instead of the red bricks and cement used in the residential area. At this time, the fire had long been put out. Judging from the blackened outer wall, the location of the fire should be on the second floor of the main teaching building. Part of the wall had fallen off, and a pile of glass debris was scattered on the ground, probably caused by the explosion.
They waited underground for a while to make sure that no one came in or out of the academy and the whole building was empty. Then, they asked Maggie to control the ark and float to the ground next to the teaching building.
