Chapter 815: Talented
Su was quite interested in this report about pure water elves, especially the part about the reproduction of pure water elves.
"When you've accumulated enough emotion, you can just pull out a ball of water from your body and turn it into a pure water elf baby or something... How convenient!"
"But is this considered fission or auto-reproduction? I feel like the ethical relationships of pure water elves are both simple and complex."
Su looked at the pure water spirit An again, "An, could you be the baby born from the splitting of Narcissus? It seems very likely."
The pure water elf An is not quite clear about her origins. After waking up, she seems to have only one obsession: saving the princess who is sleeping in her place.
It was difficult to get an accurate answer to this kind of question, so Su quickly gave up delving into it and continued to look at the clues he had sorted out.
Next came a letter of appointment, appointing a former naval commander named Bethel Elton to take over the position of Vice-President of Narcissus Cross.
Su:? ? ?
Navy Commander——》Orphanage Director?
This career span is too big!
The commission was written in an angry handwriting: "You bastard! But whatever, just treat it as a post-retirement pastime!"
Su sighed, it seems that the former naval commander finally compromised, laid down his weapon and went to breastfeed his child.
Su flipped through the new vice president's work diary again and found that although she was irritable, she was indeed a serious and responsible person.
"...one part flour, one part sugar, one part melted butter, two eggs, and a generous amount of milk for frothing. What the hell is a generous amount?!"
Su could understand the vice president's frustration. "It seems the lack of standardized quantification for cooking is a common problem in every country."
"...Remember this time! Bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes, not 540 degrees for 5 minutes!"
Su:……
"Did the math teacher teach the vice-president how to cook? Doesn't efficiency increase with firepower?"
Su watched and complained, but also saw the Vice Dean's seriousness and progress. In addition to the improvement in her cooking skills, her core work was also outstanding.
She kept detailed records of each child's background, strengths and psychological problems, and made different arrangements based on different situations.
"Carter is sick again. He's a gentle and intelligent child. His fever is probably caused by excessive worry. We need to find a way to understand his worries and put him at ease."
……
"Rene de Petrich and Jacob Baker... orphans left behind by the Siege of Baisong Town... Jacob is very dependent on Rene. If we separate them, the child will cry incessantly. So be it."
……
"Alain and Marianne have always been good siblings, but once they met René and Jacob... well, it was like a whirlwind of anger. I've had enough of judging them. Just leave them be. They'll be back together again soon anyway. Are children always like this?"
……
"Rene and Alan are arguing again. I can't understand what they're saying anymore... Raising a genius, especially two at once, is much harder than beating up an Ironclad Molten King Crab."
……
"They seem to think my skills haven't rusted yet, and they're reinstating me to my old job. Well, at least this time the fleet's fire is aimed at monsters instead of my people. Until then, I need to get the children settled."
……
"Give the dark green feathers on the hats to the children. They've been wanting this 'Bad Wizard's Feather Wand' for a long time. Let's watch them play the game of knights fighting dragons one last time. The game won't end until the chime rings. As for the pastries and the adoptive parents... let them wait in the office for a while."
Su closed the Vice Dean's work diary and bumped Sora's arm. "This Alan and Marianne, Alan is the one who created the magical device Seymour gave to his sister, right? Marianne is the master Seymour is looking for."
Sora nodded, "Rene and Jacob... Su, do you remember the research notes on spiritual light we found in the sea of nectar flowers?"
Su:……
do not remember.
Is he someone so important that she needs to use her precious brain capacity to remember him?
Sora knew she didn't remember, so he simply dug out the investigation notes signed by Rene from his backpack and reviewed them with his friend.
This notebook records the investigation and research that Rene and Jacob went to the Xumi Desert with their adoptive father.
The notes mentioned the vice-president, whom Rene thought was "very good" and "an adult who kept her promises and never lied to children."
Su: "Sure enough, the Rene who wrote this note is Rene from Narcissus Cross Academy, and the vice-president is Besser, who changed his job as a naval commander."
Jacob, who was mentioned as a crybaby, was rescued by Rene using some special power after his life was in danger, and he no longer needed to eat.
Su: "Jacob's situation is also very clear. He has been infected by the power of the abyss and transformed into an abyssal creature."
Paimon thought of the guy in Haimo Village who wanted to revive Erinus' heart and draw blood, "That purple guy! Is that Jacob?"
Sora nodded. "It's highly likely. It's not unusual for Jacob, who is no longer human, to have survived five hundred years. Furthermore, he knew Seymour."
Seymour is the prototype clockwork device given by the lord of contraptions, Alain Guillotin, to his sister, Marianne.
Sora felt very heavy as he read the notes, "Combining the records of the Kanreyan people to infer the world pattern", "Deducing to the second flood period", "No matter how many times the calculation is done, the result is destruction".
René, a genius who had barely transitioned from childhood to adolescence and was able to deduce the similarities and antagonisms between aura and the power of the abyss, might have foreseen the current crisis facing Fontaine five hundred years ago.
In the genius's vision, the shadow of destruction had already shrouded Fontaine five hundred years ago.
"When the enemy comes, we'll fight him with our troops; when the water comes, we'll block it with earth." Su patted Kong's shoulder soothingly. "Don't worry, Kong. The Fontaine officials are the ones who should be worried the most. If they're not worried, it means there's no problem."
Kong is just too kind. It would be so tiring if everything fell on his shoulders.
Paimon also actively changed the subject, "See if there are any clues in what I found."
Su picked up the dark green feather ornament and turned it around. "This is a decoration that Bethel gave to the Narcissus Quartet for safekeeping. It's a prop for the children to use in role-playing games."
Sora: "It seems these strange rules here are from children's games from hundreds of years ago."
Paimon picked up the pocket watch again, but couldn't open it. "It's rusted. Is there any use of rust removal oil?"
"Why are you looking for rust removal oil? Look at me, I can do miracles!"
Su took the pocket watch and twisted it hard. With a "click", the pocket watch was twisted into two halves. On one half were gears and hands that were stopped at a certain moment, and in the other half was a photo embedded.
In the middle of the photo stood a curly-haired adult woman with a dark green feather decoration on her hat. Su immediately knew that this person was Vice Dean Besser.
There were two children standing on each side of Besser. The two children on the right, a boy and a girl with brown hair and purple eyes, were obviously blood relatives.
The boy held a wrench with a confident smile on his face, while the girl looked gentle and calm, very cute.
On Bethel's left were two little boys. The one with brown hair was wearing purple clothes. He was holding the hem of his clothes with one hand and the collar with the other, looking timid and uneasy.
The purple-haired boy standing next to him was very calm, with a melancholy that went beyond his age.
Standing behind everyone as if as a background was a huge, round pure water elf.
