Chapter 245 Settlement before departure
Although he was extremely reluctant, Zuo Xi successfully persuaded Columbia to return to Zhidong by using the excuse that Zuo Xi had been "persecuted" but turned a blind eye to it.
Mental protection does not need to be maintained at all times, and Xumi has Nasida, so there is actually no need to worry too much about this aspect.
In fact, it was okay to bring Colombia with him, but he was worried that if he brought Colombia with him, Sandone, Nata, and Xi would all ask to come with him.
Therefore, he would not stop doing anything, and Zuo Xi would not take anyone with him.
After leaving the door of Columbia's room, Zuo Xi walked towards Abei Xi's alchemy workshop. Abei Xi, like her former self, would spend most of her free time in the workshop doing research.
"Xiao Xi."
Zuo Xi entered Abei Xi's workshop without knocking. As soon as I entered the door, I saw her playing with the bottles and cans.
"Kang Dang"
The sudden Zuo Xi made Abei Xi's whole body tremble, and the test tube in his hand fell to the ground and broke, making a crisp sound.
Before Zuo Xi could be confused, after half a second of hesitation, Abei Xi rushed in front of the latter at a speed that Zuo Xi could not catch with his naked eye, and then knelt down in front of Zuo Xi smoothly.
The whole process took less than a second, and before Zuo Xi could react, Abei Xi, who was kneeling upright, had already appeared in front of him.
What happened?
Zuo Xi's head was full of questions, and then he saw Abei Xi taking out several corked test tubes filled with liquids of different colors from behind and placing them on the ground one by one.
"...I'm sorry for what happened yesterday, but I think there's a reason I had to do it."
Abei Xi lowered her head and admitted her mistake with a very correct attitude. It's just that the words he spoke didn't seem like he realized his mistake. It feels like "I think I'm right, but because it's you, I apologize."
Then, when Zuo Xi thought that the test tubes on the ground were the ones used on him yesterday, Abei Xi's words once again surprised him.
"This is a hazy agent. In addition to its chemical components, it also seals in two "abilities" of water elemental power and grass elemental power. It can work on anything conscious and strives to be realistic. "
She pushed out the green test tube and explained its use and effects to Zuo Xi in detail.
Zuo Xi:?
"This is a sleeping potion, and it still works on anything that is conscious. As for its uses and effects... As the name suggests, it can make people "sleep deeply." I guarantee that even the thunder won’t wake me up.”
She pushed out the blue test tube on the side again, still introducing it in detail.
Zuo Xi:? ?
"Well...this one is an antibacterial agent, and its effect is suitable for species with sexual reproduction. And the effect, um..."
Finally, she pushed out the last pink test tube, which looked like a "computer accessory". But this time, even the inexperienced and calm Abei Xi could not continue the introduction without changing his face.
Zuo Xi:? ? ?
"So, what are you...?"
After listening to the introduction, Zuo Xi fully realized what kind of dangerous person he had raised. But he still didn't understand the other party's purpose of taking out these things, and what exactly the other party wanted to do.
"I'm deeply sorry for what happened yesterday... Therefore, these things are absolutely effective for Lord Sandonne! If you think the function is too simple, I can continue to research and improve it... Oops!"
Abei Xi, who described his criminal plan expressionlessly, was rewarded with a hand knife by Zuo Xi as expected.
You are very cruel and you have spoken very well. Don’t speak again next time.
In fact, with Zuo Xi's hand strength, this blow should not be painful or itchy for Abei Xi.
However, you should stand at attention when being beaten. Out of respect for Zuo Xi, she felt that she should show some respect. But it would be too perfunctory to pretend to be in pain, so she replenished herself, and now it really hurt.
Therefore, Abei Xixi proposed a banquet in the workshop. Fortunately, she didn't leave the workshop very often. When she heard this kind of punishment, which was close to nothing, Abei Xi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
……
"Zuo Xi, you're back! Hmm, did you not sleep well? Why do you feel that your complexion is a bit... um, a bit indescribably bad.
oh! I understand, you stayed up all night doing research again, right? "
Back on Haiqi Island, Paimon saw a large meal ticket coming towards them from far away. So she greeted Zuo Xi warmly, but when he got closer, she realized something was wrong.
I always feel that after not seeing each other for a day, the dark circles under the other person's eyes have become much heavier.
"This... it's a long story, so I won't go into it. Paimon, Ying, did you enjoy the party last night? Did you have a good chat with Rosalind?"
Zuo Xi mentioned it in one sentence, and then changed the topic naturally. For Paimon, this simple and unpretentious transformation method will not seem blunt.
"Yeah! I'm so happy! I've never had such a great banquet! It's amazing. Not only do you fool chefs make delicious winter dishes, but they also make rice dishes and Liyue dishes. Oh! I really didn’t expect that I can actually eat such authentic Liyue vegetables and winter vegetables in Daozhi.”
When it came to eating, Paimon became excited and praised everything he ate last night. Both the meal and the dessert were very suitable to her taste... Moreover, Zuo Xi actually ordered the chef to make "frosted slime" for her as dessert! She was so touched!
"Well, Rosalin and I talked a lot last night...how to put it, I didn't expect so many things to happen to her."
When Rosalin was mentioned, Ying's expression became a little complicated. Her first impression of Rosalin was actually not good. After all, the first time she met her was when she made things difficult for Wendy... and she even fainted from the cold that time.
No matter what, this first meeting hardly left a good impression on her.
But after understanding everything, she also sighed. There may be "gratuitous evil" in the world, but in most cases there is an unknown reason behind the "evil deeds".
Obviously, the reasons behind Rosalin, the Witch of Fire, are a little too heavy.
"As long as you understand, she shouldn't have suffered like that, and it's unfair to end up like that... But, there is no "fairness" in the world, and we can only be as "just" as possible.
Speaking of which, would she actually tell you so much? "
After knowing the full story, he was not surprised at all that Ying would react like this. He was slightly surprised that Rosalind would say so much to her.
