"Your Majesty, may I ask about your subordinate's mission?"
Tawil stood in front of me with the straight posture of a soldier, but he had an uneasy expression on his face. His voice didn't sound like it was usually filled with confidence and boldness. This researcher who was always full of energy and had his head buried in the ground would actually have such a distressed moment. It was really surprising. I was also stunned for a moment. Then, I remembered that when Sandora was assigning the aftermath of this incident, she had already specified the tasks for each individual. However, she didn't assign any tasks to Tawil. She even assigned some of the research departments that Tawil was supposed to be in charge of to other research groups.
No wonder the bespectacled lady in front of me was so uneasy. She probably thought that this was a punishment for messing things up. Naturally, she felt a lot of pressure.
Of course, as a Shiring Apostles, Tawil wouldn't complain about any punishment imposed on her. Orders from a superior individual would be carried out 100%. This was the mission of a Shiring Apostle. However, as a "person" with feelings, Tawil still couldn't help but feel depressed, especially when this "punishment" was for her to stop her research. For a scientist, there was nothing more terrifying than this. However, although Tawil's uneasiness was reasonable, it was still a little different from other Shiring Apostles. To put it simply, she was more humane. This was because Tawil could be considered half a new generation of Apostles. Even though she came to Earth with Pandora and was one of the previous generation of Apostles born in the old Empire, as a high-level individual, she grew up independently after the establishment of the new Empire. This caused Tawil to learn more about personal feelings in the process of interacting with our family. I didn't know what other people thought of her, but I personally thought that this was a good change.
"You should rest for now."
I didn't know if Sandora really intended to "punish" Tawil, but I knew that she wasn't actually angry because of his mistake this time. As the person closest to Sandora, she understood the emotional changes of her lover very well. From the analysis of this incident, it could be said that Tawil's personal mistake was a large part of the reason for the huge damage to the submarine wreckage. However, as mentioned before, no one could guarantee that they wouldn't make mistakes in a project that they weren't confident in. Therefore, Sandora most likely didn't intend to vent her anger on Tawil. Instead, it was possible that she wanted to use this opportunity to let him rest and relax. Of course, there was also a 50% chance that it was almost time for dinner. Our Queen, whose thinking core and stomach were together, was already ruled by her stomach and left after giving a few words …
Hmm, based on the degree of telepathic connection between me and Sandora, I felt that this possibility was very high.
"I just want to …" Tawil said hurriedly, but before she could finish, I waved my hand and said, "I know what you mean. Don't worry, no one will ask you to leave your research post, but you really need to rest. You said that the accident this time was because of your carelessness, but to be honest, which researcher doesn't make mistakes? You just happened to make one of the bigger mistakes. I think you are under too much pressure. The most important thing now is to let you rest for a few days. It's much better than letting you deal with the aftermath in a hurry. Don't get too excited. Think about it yourself. How many mass projections have you activated in the past month? "
Tawil opened her mouth and said a number, "One hundred and twenty-five. Thirty-seven research projects at the same time …"
This time, it was my turn to be stunned. I just asked casually. I didn't expect Tawil to really say such a thing! Gosh, how many cores does this sister's brain have …
"Alright, you can almost form a small army by yourself. Thirty-seven research projects. Do you want to tire yourself to death?"
"I belong to a special tribe of apostles. I have a great advantage in parallel data processing."
"Even so, there is a limit." I resisted the urge to give the domineering woman in front of me a knife on her head. It was fine to use her to teach a bunch of little girls who hadn't grown up yet, but it wasn't appropriate to use her to teach a domineering woman who had the temperament of a homeroom teacher. "Sicarro is also known as the nemesis of the Town Security, but didn't he let Ling Meng block the entrance of the alley three times in a row? There are times when humans are poor. Even humans are poor sometimes. "
The moment I started talking nonsense, Tawil was momentarily speechless. He didn't know what to say for a long time because people with normal logic wouldn't be able to keep up with my jumping speed. Of course, it was a different case for Shallow Shallow. It wasn't that she couldn't keep up, but she jumped faster than me.
"Go back and rest for a while. This isn't a punishment, nor is it dissatisfaction with your work," I said earnestly as I patted Tawil's shoulder. I felt like I was the leader of a village enterprise encouraging an employee. "Just take it as the organization giving you a break. Ever since the day I met you, I have never seen you take off this white robe. Now, I will give you seven days off. Go back and find some private entertainment. Buy a few beautiful clothes and the like. Otherwise, I will think that your robe is a system-bound skin … "
Tawil replied, "Err … Oh, if that is your order."
Even though he still looked a little unwilling, at least he wasn't feeling uneasy and depressed anymore. Congratulations, congratulations.
After returning from the City of Shadows, dinner was indeed being prepared at home. Anveena, who stayed at home, had already prepared a sumptuous feast. Organic substances, inorganic substances and suspicious compounds were laid out on the table. According to the diners, there were two different colored plates that were clearly labeled "Mortal Eating Area" and "Sandora Eating Area". When I appeared, my elder sister was grabbing Little Bubble from the table over and over again. The little lass had entered a state of exuberant curiosity. She would bite anything she saw, including Jingle, who was running around the table with a stalk of vegetables. What a nostalgic scene.
"I gave Tawil a break."
Noticing Sandora's gaze drifting towards me, I casually replied. She was probably going to ask about that too.
"Yeah, it is good for her. Recently, many of the research projects she is leading are progressing very quickly, but they are almost at her limit."
"A workaholic will get into trouble sooner or later." Miss Lin sighed meaningfully. "In the past, I had a colleague who was a workaholic. When he was out on a mission, he would often not return home for a month or two."
Even though I could guess what Lin Xue wanted to say, I still cooperated and asked, "What happened after that? Something happened? "
"After that, his wife chased him for thousands of miles and went to Dubai to capture him and the three of them. His wife was also a member of the organization and was in charge of intelligence …"
The lesson of this story was to never believe that a young miss could spit out such things. To think that I was full of anticipation for her little story.
After dinner, it was still raining heavily outside. Normally, the summer days were long, so the sky should still be bright outside. However, because of the heavy rain, it was as if night had fallen. I could only see a faint yellow light in the sky. With such a heavy rain, it was impossible to go out for a stroll after dinner like usual. Thus, I continued to lean against the window and watch the rain.
Shallow Shallow moved next to me and muttered: "It's so boring at home, I want to go out and play."
"Why would you go out when it's raining so heavily? It's really boring. Let's go to Shadow City. They just switched to a seven day sunny autumn theme pack, it's enough for you to play."
"Shadow City is different from the outside, it's not lively." Shallow Shallow's only standard for determining the fun of life was whether it was lively or not, "How about I activate my shield and go for a spin around the city? I've wanted to do that since I was young. I'll run around in the rain or something. "
I thought about it and wanted to stop her, but when I turned my head, I found that Shallow Shallow had already disappeared. That chick, how terrifying is her ability to act!
However, Shallow Shallow's random actions had already become a daily occurrence at home. Other than sighing, I didn't have any other reaction. Looking at the sky outside, I felt that within a few minutes, that chick would get bored and come running back.
Speaking of which, when she mentioned that she liked to run outside when it rained, I did have some recollection of it. That year, we were still young and lived in an old house in the old city. Not far from the door was a large grassland overgrown with weeds. The terrain was low-lying and it would flood if it rained. Every time it rained or snowed, it would be a day of liberation for all the children in the entire alley. Due to the fact that the local roads were notorious for being terrible, there was a reason not to go to school when it rained. Furthermore, Shallow Shallow and I had more freedom than the other children, so we could sneak out to play under such circumstances. The main reason was that my older sister didn't have the time to care about me, while Shallow Shallow's father was always digging up the ancestral graves of the ancients, while her mother worked in the city. The two of us were notorious for being undisciplined and undisciplined. We did everything that the other children didn't dare to do, including running around in the rain with a plastic sheet draped over our shoulders, splashing water in a puddle on the grassland and imagining that we were fighting with a shark monster in the South Pacific. Even though Shallow Shallow and I both agreed that the South Pacific wasn't too far from the flood control to the west of our elementary school, that didn't stop our beautiful imaginations.
Now that so many years have passed, Shallow Shallow is still as mischievous as she was when she was young, and I have degenerated into a guy who holds a small teapot and sips tea in front of a door on a rainy day …
"Although the weather isn't that great, there's a special kind of romance when you feel the cool wind and the tiny droplets of water hitting your face."
Lin Xue said as she sat down beside me and looked at the curtain of rain outside the house.
Although the large house in my family looked a bit strange because it had been renovated many times, and the warehouse wasn't like the warehouse, the villa wasn't like the villa. However, as a high-class residence, it still had all sorts of accessories, including an especially large open pavilion in front of the main entrance. The wide eaves blocked the falling rain, making the entrance a good place to admire the rain. Miss Lin and I sat side by side on the dry ground in front of the entrance. One sipped her tea while the other lowered her head and peeled chestnuts. It looked like a landlord and his wife.
"You're quite artistic sometimes?" Hearing Lin Xue sigh about the romance in the rain, I tilted my head and blew a breath of hot air into Miss's ear, "This doesn't sound like the hot-tempered Miss of mine."
"Stop messing around, before I was 15, this Miss was educated for nobles. Just because I'm bold and unrestrained doesn't mean I can't walk the graceful path. Don't ruin the atmosphere, it's rare for me to accompany an unromantic blockhead like you outside to enjoy the cool wind."
Being able to describe the etiquette class of a noble daughter as a struggle, from this point, I didn't have any hope for Miss's graceful path, especially when she was fighting over the chestnut kernels with me.
"It's so relaxing, it's much more comfortable here than at home." Lin Xue slightly tilted her body and naturally leaned on my shoulder, "There are a bunch of rules at home, everyone is watching their own eyes, but you, an idiot, do everything without a problem. Hehe, isn't this interesting, your royal life doesn't even have as many rules as my family's, I really don't know why those old men usually have so many rules!"
I was quite surprised, "Your family can still be considered a local tycoon?"
"Nonsense, even the Yamata Serpent was captured by you, who on earth isn't a local tycoon?"
I thought about it, "Didn't the Yamata Serpent was captured by the people of the Star Domain?"
Lin Xue turned her head and used the back of her head to bump my cheek, then continued to complain about the boring life at home and the bunch of rules.
Miss is a person who doesn't like the outdated rules at home. In her words, every family whose assets exceed the local township enterprise is a cage, the richer the family is, the tighter the cage, the more history the cage is, the smaller the cage. If it was a large family with hundreds of years of history and hundreds of millions of assets, then even if you fart, there would be dozens of people following you to test the composition of the fart. Not to mention, the direct members of the family are always causing trouble outside, running around with unknown men, and so on. Miss grew up in such a strict family environment. Before the age of 13, there would be half a reinforced company following behind her in civilian clothes. Although I feel that she is just talking nonsense, there is no doubt that there are a lot of rules in a large family.
If it wasn't for her special talent that allowed her to become a member of the superpower group, and the boss of the superpower group was her family's old man, she might still be trapped in a cage.
"Maybe she will become a social butterfly or something, the legendary golden vase."
Lin Xue piled up the chestnut shells on the ground, at this time it was almost ten centimeters high, while muttering in a low voice, "Just thinking about it makes my whole body shiver. Hiss — — Being surrounded by a group of people to train me in ballroom dancing and social etiquette. Did you know, there were four ways to open a bottle of red wine, it almost tormented me to death. Fortunately, I was talented and escaped."
As I listened to Miss's strange childhood, I felt that it was inconceivable. I don't know what kind of red wine can have four ways to open a bottle, but I do know that there was a Goddess of Light in the family who would usually crack the bottle cap with her teeth no matter what kind of wine she drank. From this, you can understand how nonsensical those messy etiquette are.
"That's why it's good to have you here." Lin Xue sighed from the bottom of her heart. "Sometimes I feel that even if someone comes to tear down your house, you can still welcome them with a smile. Where does your good temper come from?"
I thought for a moment, "Are you tactfully reminding me that this house has been torn down several times?"
Also, I remember that the first person who tore down a house was this guy's good friend.
While I was chatting with Miss, I felt a slight change in the space around me. This feeling was very subtle, indescribable, and most people wouldn't be able to notice it. It was as if the things around you suddenly lost a frame, there was an indescribable moment that was cut off, and then it was reconnected.
This feeling wasn't unfamiliar: Shallow Shallow was back.
Using time acceleration to travel was a small trick that Shallow Shallow was very familiar with. Sometimes, she would use this trick to teleport back and forth in the house, but in reality, it was only in the eyes of people in normal time. In her eyes, she was still slowly traversing the same distance in normal time. That was why I couldn't understand why Shallow Shallow would use time acceleration to run back and forth. Wouldn't teleportation be more convenient?
"After going out for a few minutes, you finally got bored?"
I turned to look at the short-haired girl who was trying to scare me with an evil smile, and then looked at her hand in surprise, "Ahem, what are you holding?"
"This?" Shallow Shallow scratched her head, and shook the string of things in her hand, "It should be a string of prayer beads. There was a weird uncle passing by the moat, and he threw it to me."
I was puzzled, "… Why?"
I felt that there was another unexplainable phenomenon on Qian Qian's body. Why did an uncle who was passing by throw his prayer beads at her … Uh, no, why did an uncle appear by the moat when it was raining heavily and it was pitch-black? Why did he resolutely pass by the moat?
At this moment, Miss Lin suddenly explained, "It's raining heavily during the Zhongyuan Ghost Festival, and you're standing by the moat, and there's a white figure with blue light above his head floating towards you. Shouldn't you throw something at him? Shallow Shallow, did you forget to turn on your invisibility? "
I was shocked, and thought to myself, I really shouldn't have let Shallow Shallow go out alone …
But another thing quickly interrupted my attention on this matter: The missy next to me suddenly frowned and covered her eyes. Then, she let out a "wu" sound.
"What's wrong?"
I quickly held onto Lin Xue's shoulder, feeling nervous.
"A very … terrible feeling. It's a huge crisis, a huge crisis in my life!"
In an instant, I felt the hairs on my face stand on end. Lin Banxian never lied, and even Shallow Shallow couldn't help but run into the house after her whimper. But before we could gather the whole family for a war meeting, Miss Lin waved her hand, "Don't … Don't be nervous. It has nothing to do with you, it has to do with me! A huge crisis, a huge crisis in my life! I think I'm in big trouble! "
"Hey, don't scare me." I grabbed Miss Lin's arm, and reached out to touch her forehead, "You didn't catch a cold, did you?"
"Catch a cold my ass, I'm serious!" Lin Xue slapped my hand away, "Something very, very troublesome is about to happen, but it has nothing to do with the Empire. This time, even I don't know what's going on. The only thing I'm sure of is that I'm about to face a huge problem in my life, and a blockhead like you will be a part of it!"
