In the City of Shadows, we had seen enough of the strange high-tech fortress and the strange visitors from the other world. We had seen the rusty armored scorpions lining up to buy Helium-3. We had seen the exciting recruitment advertisement directed and edited by Pandora. Finally, Sona and Sona entered the teleportation portal and arrived at my house. When they saw the residence of the head of the powerful Empire, they almost fainted … Anyway, Sona's expression looked like she was about to faint.
Sona looked at me with a strange expression. Her head was full of question marks. Sona scanned the living room before the teleportation portal completely disappeared. Finally, their gazes fell on me. Sona said tactfully, "Erm … It seems that the Empire doesn't have a shortage of living space."
Sayana was more straightforward, "His Majesty the Emperor lives here? How come your living room isn't as big as the Crow Temple? "
"Erm … It's fine as long as the house is big enough. That's what I think." I knew that Sona and Sona had the same question, so I scratched my head awkwardly, "As the saying goes, even if there are thousands of buildings, you only need two feet of space to sleep. If I wake up early and see the ceiling two meters away from me, I will feel like I've been banished from the world …"
Just as I finished speaking, Miss Lin's lazy and high-pitched voice sounded from beside me, "Look at you. When this lady sleeps, if I see the ceiling within three meters of myself, I will feel like I've been banished from the world."
As usual, Lin Xue appeared at my house at mealtime. She was leaning on the sofa with her bare feet dangling on the armrest of the sofa, listening to Guo Gang's story about Yu's family on the TV. I knew that she was talking nonsense again, so I said, "Then, next time you sleep in the courtyard … Eh, you tricked Xiaoxue into listening to your dad's bragging again?"
If I remember correctly, Miss Lin is still grounded, but she was still able to accurately appear in the living room at mealtime. Furthermore, I didn't see Xiaoxue's weird figure in my line of sight. It seems like there is only one truth: This irresponsible young mother didn't hesitate to screw over her own daughter again. I started to sigh. What's the point of Mr. and Mrs. Lin grounding her …
"I promised to give her twice the allowance after she's born. I also promised not to cheer for her when you beat her up. Then, the child went to her grandpa's." Missy rolled her eyes and glanced at me. Her gaze suddenly fell on the Arcane Little Bean behind Shadora. She exclaimed in surprise when she saw the Arcane Little Bean swaying back and forth like a jelly. "Ah! Where did you get the slime?"
My thoughts were still stuck on the first half of her sentence. "I don't think I'm the type of person who likes to hit children. Then Xiaoxue will definitely be taught the wrong way in the future. You can't spoil her. It's not good to give a child too much pocket money … Oh, you're talking about this. This isn't a slime. It's an elemental creature. I got it from Alleria. It's a mystical robot.
"I know we can't spoil that girl. She won't be able to make decisions once she's out of her mother's womb anyway. Hey, this Of Slime can transform. It turned into a chair just now. Come, let me see it turn into a bicycle. "
Everyone must have noticed that Lin Xue and I were discussing two topics at the same time. Miss Lin called this a non-linear conversation. In fact, if I were to chat with Shallow Shallow, it would be even more impressive. We could discuss more than ten topics at the same time without interfering with each other's thoughts …
Shakina and Sona were dumbfounded as they watched Lin Xue and I chatter away. The elder sister walked forward and said to the two dracon girls with a smile, "This is called a non-linear conversation. You'll get used to it. Let's eat first. There aren't many rules here. Everyone is welcome. Just relax like when we were in the ancient garden. "
At that moment, I heard a childish cry from the side, "Caw …" I turned my head and saw the little crow coming out of the kitchen. Her face was still covered with flour — she might have just been more of a hindrance to me. After seeing me, the silly bird immediately flapped its arms and rushed towards me as usual. I smiled and opened my arms. The little crow flew over my arms and pounced on Little Bean, who was being teased by Miss Lin. Little Bean let out a squeak and was smashed into a puddle of liquid by the little crow. It was said that this thing was an elemental creature formed from arcane energy, but no matter how I looked at it, it was actually a piece of jelly.
"Master! Jelly! I'm eating it! " Wheat Diwen happily hugged Little Bean, who was trying her best to regain her shape. Before I could stop her, she had already taken a bite. After a series of crunching sounds, half of the silly bird's face turned black. However, she didn't seem to notice it. She continued chewing and muttered, "It tastes numb. It doesn't taste good … It doesn't taste strawberry … Mom! There's an electric pudding here! "
Anveena floated out of the kitchen with a ladle in her hand. When she saw Silly Bird hugging a large ball of electric arcane energy and looking for a place to eat, she was so shocked that a few translucent ghosts floated out of her body and pulled the little crow out. "You can't eat this!"
Little Bean, who was bitten by the little crow, seemed to have finally reacted. She swayed on the spot for a while and then crawled into the shadows beside the sofa to heal her wounds. Judging from this, the self-healing ability of elemental creatures seemed to be stronger than that of technological autonomous robots … Although that wasn't the main point.
I had originally brought this strange-looking little toy home for Shallow Shallow to play with, but I didn't expect it to be so popular with the family. Even Visca curiously poked it a few times. Although she was also a Shiring Apostles, she was a muddle-headed exception back then. She only had technological units under her command, so she probably wasn't familiar with Little Bean.
As for Shallow Shallow, she immediately ran back to her room after seeing Little Bean. She actually didn't poke this new toy at first. I was really curious about what new ideas she had. After a while, she hopped down the stairs with her Brazilian tortoise in her hands …
Brazilian tortoise, dead at the age of two and a half, died of arcane ablation over a large area of its body …
While Liliana was busy resurrecting the unlucky Brazilian tortoise, Shallow Shallow said with a sad face, "I thought it was full of water … I was going to put the two tropical fish in Liliana's room …"
"It would have been better if you had put those two unlucky things in," Liliana poked at the shell of the Brazilian tortoise, carefully shoveling away the charred parts. "Those two aren't tropical fish, they're a new breed cultivated by the Goddess. She originally wanted to make two Bahamut, but I don't know how she made two tropical fish. Those two tropical fish can survive in an arcane environment …"
I helplessly ruffled Shallow Shallow's hair. "Forget it, it's my fault for not stopping you in time …"
But I wanted to say — who would have thought that this girl would suddenly think that a slime could raise a tortoise! And this thing isn't a slime! And a Brazilian tortoise isn't a tortoise! Those who only know how to poke at a slime or make it turn into a bicycle when they see it are weak compared to Shallow Shallow's thinking ability!
Seizing the opportunity when no one was paying attention, Seagina couldn't help but lean over and whisper to me, "Is your house always so lively?"
"Yeah, look at how big our family is," I pointed at Shallow Shallow who was studying how to put cans into Little Bean's stomach, "And she's the only one left in the main force. There's another one who's even more troublesome but her mother has tricked him away. Otherwise, we would be overturning the world."
Seagina stuck out her tongue, "It's really different from what I imagined …"
I roughly knew what kind of scene Seagina was imagining. She probably thought that when she went to the Emperor's house to eat, she would see a dazzling palace that occupied tens of thousands of square meters. Before entering the door, she would have to walk through the two-kilometer long Empire Guards of Honor. Then, she would push open the door and see a row of butlers on the left and a row of maids on the right. The Emperor's family would be sitting on a pure gold throne half a kilometer away with a crown that weighed twenty kilograms on their heads. Before speaking, there would be seven or eight ceremonial officers explaining the Royal etiquette and the Eighty Honors and Eighty Disgraces of the Empire. Then, they would burn incense, take a bath, change clothes and get ready for the meal. Before the first dish was served, they would have to find a beautiful girl to dance around the table. The meal would start at 7: 30 am and they could eat until breakfast the next day …
She would never have imagined that in our world, the Emperor's first dish would be pork stewed with vermicelli. Not only that, a group of princesses would make as much noise as livestock fighting over troughs. For two pieces of meat, Liliana and Chandelier would get into a fight on the spot …
Of course, Seagina and the others already knew about our family back on the main continent. However, they probably wouldn't have imagined that we would be like this at home.
Anveena and Chestnut quickly served a large table full of dishes. They invited everyone to take a seat. Seagina and Sona were confused at first, but now they had accepted this setting that was different from what they had imagined. To be honest, this atmosphere made the two poor half-dragon girls feel more relaxed.
The only thing that made them a little nervous was that Jingle was sitting across from them. Their species instincts made it hard for them to let their guard down. Liliana even deliberately put Jingle in front of her in an exaggerated manner. She put her palms together and said, "Thank you, Goddess, for giving me this pork stewed with vermicelli …"
Seagina and Sona were instantly stunned. They didn't know if this was the standard etiquette for believers when they ate. They hesitantly looked at the Dragon God girl across the table. The latter sensed something and looked up with a silly smile. "Actually, the dishes were bought by Chestnut …"
I quickly coughed and said, "Ahem … Let's eat!"
The two half-dragon girls didn't know how to use chopsticks, and it was impossible for them to bring cutlery with them when they were outside. Fortunately, they were used to using cutlery from Earth, which didn't require much skill, so they didn't make a fool out of themselves. This was the first time that Seagina had tasted the cooking of a specter maid. The moment she took a bite, she exclaimed in admiration, "Ah, this is delicious! What is this golden thing? "
I looked up and said, "It's made of eggs. It turned golden after being fried."
"Eggs … Eggs …" Sona's expression instantly changed, and the corner of her mouth twitched. "It feels so strange …"
"Er … You don't eat eggs?" Sona asked curiously.
Sona blushed. "Draconians are oviparous …"
Everyone was speechless.
"Although there's no taboo against eating eggs, we don't usually eat them," Seagina explained. It seemed that she didn't have any objections to the food on the table. "About one-third of the draconians don't like eggs, but the others don't feel anything. Sona happens to be one of the one-third. "
I instantly understood. Then, I pointed at the little crow who was concentrating on picking soybeans from the plate and said, "She doesn't eat eggs either, but she won't be able to recognize them after they are made into dishes. In the end, it's a psychological problem. Hm, Seagina, are you feeling unwell? "
I noticed that Seagina hadn't been sitting properly since the beginning. She was fidgeting on the chair. At first, I thought that she wasn't used to the high seats on Earth (Actually, it was to take care of the short winter melons at home so that they could experience the feeling of being able to reach the table without a stack of books). But now, Seagina's expression was getting weirder and weirder.
"Er …" Seagina was a little awkward. "Do you have any chairs without a backrest? My tail … is numb. "
I was speechless as I noticed that Seagina's tail was sticking straight up behind her back because she didn't have a place to place it. The tip of the tail was shaking innocently above the draconic girl's head … Er, there was even a bow tied on the tip of her tail!
"Oh, wait a minute." Anveena got up and moved two chairs without backrests from the wall. "I'm sorry, I didn't think … these two chairs would come in handy."
I recognized the two chairs. One belonged to Rhododendron Spp., and the other belonged to Giruna. Due to various obvious reasons, the two chairs didn't have backrests. I have to say, it was fortunate that the two of them had gone home to visit their parents. Otherwise, who knew how many more problems would arise during this meal. Speaking of which, there were already a lot of problems that had arisen!
This meal was full of ups and downs, situations occurred frequently, and it was very unique. It was filled with the characteristics of the Empire. I have to say, it wasn't easy to gather such a large group of creatures that were more or less different from humans for a meal. Sometimes, I felt a sense of accomplishment when I looked around during the meal. How do you think I maintain the worldview of an earthling among this group of people?
After dinner, Seagina and the others originally wanted to rush back to Xin Xiang, but in the end, they were stopped by their respective gods. Lin wanted to take this opportunity to check on Seagina and Giruna's fusion with the Dragon God, while Little Crow simply wanted to find someone to play with. Looking at the situation, the three of them didn't need to go back tonight. Thus, Big Sis and Anveena went to the second floor to prepare a room for them. Meanwhile, I watched with interest as Shallow Shallow and the others bullied the Slime …
Shallow Shallow was trying to turn a faucet on the Slime. It was obvious that she had an abnormally firm misunderstanding of this soft "liquid" creature.
"By the way, do you want to give this little fellow a name?" Lin Xue was also very interested in the arcane little bean. She patted the latter's body and said, "Why don't we just call him Happy Boy? He looks like a jelly."
I felt that the name was very familiar. After a while, I remembered that this was the association that Raven 001 made after she was beaten up by Vega. For a moment, I didn't know if I should tell Milady the truth …
But in the end, the arcane little bean still received the title of "Happy Boy" and was promoted to Shallow Shallow's 76th pet. The ones in front of him included Shallow Shallow's Brazilian tortoise, Pikachu, two autonomous robots, a unicorn, Mini Sadako in the basement, Little Black who had passed away more than ten years ago but was still living in Shallow Shallow's memories, Little Bubble, Little Crow and a bunch of strange creatures in Jingle's laboratory. This lass's spare time was really colorful.
I also took this opportunity to tell everyone about the current situation in Heaven City and also about Belavilla. Because based on the personality of Shallow Shallow, Lin Xue and the other lazy people, they definitely wouldn't have the time to care about these things.
Shallow Shallow finally understood something. "Oh, so this isn't a slime."
Lin Xue was more or less reliable than Shallow Shallow. At least after listening to some of the knowledge of the mystical, she showed a look of deep thought and quickly came up with her own idea. "Hey, blockhead, did you notice something? The mystical seems to be more in line with the power of me, Shallow Shallow and Sister Chen Qian?"
I nodded naturally. "Of course, the three of you were the apostles of the mystical in your previous life. My sister was the number one cursemancer in the Empire."
"Do you still remember a project that Tawil has been working on?" Lin Xue squatted on the sofa's armrest barefooted, her upper body leaning towards me. "She is trying to use the Empire's equipment to replicate our special powers. Currently, the only widely used ones are the Energy Plundering Device, which is based on your power, and the second gap device, which is still considered experimental equipment. As for my prophecy power and Sister Chen Qian's curse power, there is no way to replicate them …"
I reached out to catch the mischievous missy (Speaking of which, she wasn't afraid that I would really not catch her — although I really didn't dare to). I thought about it and said, "You mean …"
"Perhaps the reason why Tawil's progress is slow is because the domain isn't right. It would be easier to replicate our powers using the mystical technology. Didn't she form a few more joint teams recently? Technician Schilling and the Secret Master are researching those mystical technology together. You can ask her to hand over those projects that are progressing slowly to the new team. "Lin Xue said." You see, our biggest problem now is that we can't directly use the mystical technology. High-level apostles won't be able to evolve in a short period of time. Back then, Shallow Shallow and I were at the level of the three hundred commanders. I'm afraid that we won't be able to produce another high-level apostle for many years. However, if we were to use Tawil's existing research as a foundation and convert part of our powers into mass produced equipment to be used on battleships or even individual soldiers … "
— Thus, I saw a bright future.
