"Of course."
Elosa smiled and held out her hand. Misaka Mikoto and Kuriyama were indebted to Rebe and the other two, which meant that they were indebted to the Fairy's Tail. Coupled with their strength that defeated Gajiro, she could not find any reason to refuse them. In other words, she was extremely welcoming of the two who wanted to join the Fairy's Tail.
Misaka Mikoto also smiled and held out her hand.
But before she could do so, she felt her body sway. It was Elosa who had pulled the two of them into her arms. She even patted their backs and smiled with relief. "Mmm, this is the best way to communicate."
"What kind of communication is this?"
Mikoto and Kuriyama were dumbfounded. Although she looked like an awe-inspiring female warrior, Elosa was unexpectedly more enthusiastic than they thought. Or … was everyone in this world like this?
"Of course it's companions … No, it's a way of communicating with family." Elosa let go of her arms and said with a smile, "Companions in the guild are like family. Since you've joined the Fairy's Tail, of course, you're also my family. But it's a little late today. I'll bring you to the guild tomorrow and talk to the guild leader about you. If you don't mind, you can stay at my place tonight, although it might be a little crowded."
"That's not a problem, but … if we leave now, will it be okay?" Kuriyama looked at the ward not far away.
"The Magic Shooters of the Fairy's Tail aren't that fragile. The doctor will take care of them, and … we're going to fight the Will-o-Wisp tomorrow, so we must rest well tonight."
"Well, that's true."
"Then let's go."
"Okay."
Then, the two followed Elosa and left the hospital. It was dark outside, with only a faint moonlight shining down.
At the same time, in another world.
Tang Hao got off the carriage and returned to the secret base where he had first appeared in Great Qin. This base was actually quite big and had many research facilities. Last time, Tang Hao had come in a hurry and left in a hurry as well, so he did not have a good understanding of this place. Now that he had returned to his' homeland 'with Qin Shihuang, he had a better understanding. For example, the Twelve Metal Colossi had been created here.
Originally, Emperor Qin Shihuang's idea of creating Form Zero was to improve on the foundation of the Twelve Metal Men and incorporate more secret techniques of the Celestial Realm. He intended to cultivate Form Zero as the leader of the Twelve Metal Men. However, something unexpected happened. He didn't create Form Zero, and instead, a funny Form Zero appeared.
After entering the base, Shu Tu quickly came to welcome them, and the person in the lead was Xu Fu.
Realization dawned on Tang Hao. No wonder he hadn't seen Xu Fu during this period of time. It turned out that this fellow had been sent by Emperor Qin to refine pills.
There was no need for formalities. In this place, Emperor Qin did not put on the airs of an emperor. His words and actions were more casual. He waved his hand and asked directly, "How is the forging of the demon god pillar going?"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The pill was completed half an hour ago," Xu Fu replied with a smile.
"Oh, take me to see it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please follow me."
They followed Xu Fu to a secret room. The room was very spacious, and there was a huge pill furnace in the middle. The fire in the furnace had obviously not been completely extinguished. There was a dry and stuffy smell in the air, and there was also a very strong smell of medicine. Tang Hao and Emperor Qin were not affected, but Yu Ji and Ying Yinman wrinkled their noses, as if they were not used to it.
Then, Xu Fu carried a brocade box to everyone and placed it on the table.
"Your Majesty, according to your orders, we used half of the Demon God Pillar Lyme's corpse to refine pills. The results are here."
The brocade box opened, revealing five light red pills, each as big as a grape.
"Such a big Demon God Pillar, and you only managed to refine five pills?" Tang Hao could not help but ask.
A Demon God Pillar could produce tens of millions of materials. Even BB, that prodigal woman, could produce tens of thousands of materials with each needle of a relic. Xu Fu, on the other hand, used half a Demon God Pillar to refine five pills. He was even more prodigal than BB.
Xu Fu cupped his hands. "You must be joking, Your Majesty. The most important thing in refining pills is to get rid of the impurities and extract the essence."
"In other words, the essence of the Demon God Pillar is only this little? The rest is just impurities? "
"This …" Xu Fu was speechless. It was not that he did not know how to explain, but from what Tang Hao said, it was obvious that he was a newbie who knew nothing about the art of alchemy. He had to think about how to explain it to a newbie.
"What does he know? You don't have to argue with him." When Qin Shihuang heard Tang Hao's question, he knew that Tang Hao did not know anything about alchemy, and did not want to waste time on this kind of thing, so he directly asked, "Warlock Xu, tell me first, what is the effect of refining this pill?"
"About this …" Xu Fu was speechless again. He realized that the two men's questions were tricky.
"Your Majesty, after refining the pill, we can accurately grasp the effect of the pill. That's based on our understanding and calculation of the ingredients, as well as countless tests. But … it's my first time refining a pill using the Demon God Pillar as the main ingredient. I really don't know how to answer Your Majesty."
"Mm … that's a problem." Emperor Qin nodded. In other words, he needed someone to test the pill.
"Your Majesty, please let me test the pill for you!" Immediately, a warlock stood out from the crowd. He looked duty-bound and ready to risk his life.
The other warlocks fought to test the pill. On one hand, it was to show their loyalty, on the other hand …
"Wait!" Before Emperor Qin could speak, Tang Hao quickly stopped them. "Don't be in a hurry to show your loyalty to Brother Zheng. There are only five of these pills. It's not even enough to fill your stomachs. If you try one, there'll be one less. How can I let you try something so precious? Step down, step down."
The warlocks had their thoughts exposed, so they could only step down awkwardly.
The Demon God Pillar was such a unique lifeform. In the end, it was refined into five pills. Its preciousness was self-evident. Everyone wanted to test the effect. Even if they died because of it … it would be a blessing in disguise!
Emperor Qin looked at Tang Hao with a faint smile. "You don't want them to test the pill for me. Do you want to test the pill yourself?"
Tang Hao smiled awkwardly. He really did want to do that. After all, he knew that no one would die from eating it. After all, in the FGO story, Demetrius even used the Demon God Pillar to make a cake.
"But in my opinion, we can skip the step of testing the pill. Whether it's effective or not, we'll know once we eat it." Emperor Qin laughed loudly and picked up a pill without hesitation.
Xu Fuhe and the warlocks were a little nervous. A warlock immediately said, "Your Majesty, you can't. This … I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
The warlocks were stunned. Although they could calculate that the pill was not poisonous, the energy contained in it was huge. Whether the human body could withstand it was a problem. If Emperor Qin was not careful … all of them would be dragged to be beheaded!
"It's fine. I'm blessed by heaven. Even the six states can't kill me, let alone a mere pill."
Emperor Qin was not afraid. He directly stuffed the pill into his mouth. He even chewed a few times before swallowing it.
No wonder Great Qin perished … Tang Hao thought to himself as he looked at the calm expression on his face.
According to Sherlock Holmes in FGO 2.3, the Qin Shihuang in the history of the moon accidentally swallowed mercury in order to seek immortality. Although Tang Hao did not know how he accidentally swallowed mercury, it seemed very likely. Brother Zheng had obviously dug his own grave.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of the taste?" Tang Hao asked tentatively.
"Taste?" Emperor Qin smiled. "I often take pills. This is the first time I've heard someone ask about the taste. However, I can't tell. If you're interested, you can take one to try."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Tang Hao smiled and threw one into his mouth. He chewed a few times. As for the taste … The herbal taste seemed to be a little stronger. It was faint, like chicken without salt. It didn't taste good.
"Fairy, are you interested?" Emperor Qin looked at Yu Ji.
Yu Ji blinked her eyes in surprise, "I have a share too?"
Emperor Qin smiled, "A few days ago, I borrowed something from you. Of course you'll be able to get it."
The thing that Emperor Qin was talking about was actually Yu Ji's blood.
Yu Ji was a long-lived species, so Qin Shi Huang was very interested in her body. Of course, it was referring to the aspect of refining medicine, but Yu Ji's fighting strength was strong, so even if the Twelve Gold Men attacked together, they might not be able to take her down. Furthermore, her relationship with Tang Hao was not shallow, so Qin Shi Huang could not use her to refine pills, so he asked her for some blood for research.
In the beginning, Yu Ji refused. If she didn't want to give it to him, Emperor Qin couldn't do anything to her, but later on, Emperor Qin promised her a lot of benefits and used Tang Hao to talk about it, so he cut out a bowl. Currently, the study of her blood was also in progress.
As for whether it would work or not, it was hard to say.
Actually, if Emperor Qin wanted to live forever, there was a simpler way, and that was to be bitten by Yu Ji.
However, in the words of a chuunibyou, this was Yu Ji's reverse scale. Biting Tang Hao was already her bottom line. It was absolutely impossible for her to bite someone else!
Yu Ji was not very interested in the pills refined by the demon god pillars, but it did not stop her from trying them. She grabbed one and put it into her mouth.
"It's not delicious."
This was Yu Ji's first feeling. Under the influence of the delicacies that Tang Hao had brought over from the future, her appetite had become more and more intense.
"Really? Father, I want to eat too. " Seeing that all three of them had a share, Little Yin Man immediately felt a little greedy. She raised her arm and extended her small hand towards the brocade box.
Pah!
In the next moment, her hand slapped down on Emperor Qin.
He glared at her and said, "You can't eat the things here!"
"Ugh …" Little Yin Man pouted, a little unhappy, "But I want to be like father …"
"What's the same?"
Little Yin Man looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. After a moment, she mustered up her courage and said loudly, "Father is an ancient emperor, I also want to be like father, an ancient empress!"
