The twilight scene in the Shadow City is always more enchanting than in the real world, and the finely tuned light and the right amount of air refraction allow the soft, mysterious glow to spread evenly over every building that is about to rest, and it is said that the best place to spend this brief twilight in the city is at a mysterious dessert shop next to the military blockade - I prove the legend is true. []

You won't find a better place to spend some peace and quiet than the Hope Dessert Shop.

As always, there was no one in the dessert house, only a raven who came to help was humming a strange tune and tossing the juicer, this was the only sound in the store, the soft and dispa器件sound made the place even quieter, looking out through the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, you could see that the not very wide street outside the store was shrouded in a dreamlike orange hue, and the last trace of the sunset covered the barracks wall and the back wall of the house on the other side. And dimmed little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye, with a pale golden orange glow through the bright glass windows, and also painted a warm color for this small shop, Sylvia sat opposite us with that eternal and tranquil smile, and the long silver-white hair danced with the sparkling sunset, a scene we hadn't seen for more than two months—the slightly impetuous mood calmed down at this moment, so that I suddenly felt that maybe this was really a wonderful amount of magic, Belongs only to Sylvia. Magic that can turn all the restlessness into a lazy afternoon tea atmosphere in the blink of an eye.

"Number One is a good boy—" Sylvia looked at Sandora and me with a smile for a long time before she suddenly said, "often come over to help—though there's nothing to do......"

The number one she was talking about was naturally Raven 001 who was tinkering with the juicer, this new generation of apostles who was born after the establishment of the new empire and whose personality seemed a little out of place with her other comrades, she still has no name of her own, she is called Raven 001, and she is happy to be called that - in fact, this eccentric raven doesn't seem to care much about everything. She has a playful attitude towards everything, except when she completes tasks assigned by her superiors and fights with Vega.

She was the closest of all the ravens to Sylvia, and she could even be said to be the only "friend" in Sylvia's pitifully small circle, and the two of them were not superiors and subordinates, but they were not like ordinary friends, which really made me very curious.

"You're living a pretty leisurely day." I looked at the spotlessly clean little shop, as you can imagine. Sylvia and the ravens who had come to help were all about cleaning up when they were idle, and they didn't have many guests to entertain. "Oh. Santa Claus...... Christmas is long gone, right? And no one in Shadow City has Christmas coming. ”

I noticed that there was a Santa Claus doll behind the window on the other side of the shop, and I could vaguely distinguish the small card in front of the doll with the words Merry Christmas written on it, and I couldn't help but say, first, I didn't expect Sylvia to remember to decorate her shop during Christmas, and second, I didn't expect her to be so stupid - no one in Shadow City celebrates Christmas at all, and the only recognized Jesus in this place is called Lilina......

"Oh—forgot to take it down," Sylvia looked at Santa Claus, who looked not far away. I hesitated for a long time before I remembered what it was, and then I thought about it for a while. "Just leave it there - in case you forget to take it out again next year......

Me: The philosophy of life of "......" is really strong enough, and her procrastination is measured in months, right?

At this time, there was a sudden commotion from the direction of the counter. There was also the sound of the machine idling and something grinding, and Sandora and I were just about to ask what was going on, when Raven 001 flashed over, dripping orange juice all over his body, holding two glasses of freshly squeezed juice in his hands: "That...... The juicer may be broken. []”

I looked at Raven 001 dumbfounded, this guy had a face of juice, a small piece of flesh still on his nose, and a piece of orange peel was hanging from her silver hair, slowly sliding down - was this guy really preparing juice just now?

"You...... Laborious. I calmly took the fresh orange juice in the other party's hand, first fished out the orange peel floating on it, then tasted it, and then spit out the small half of the gear, "It seems that the juicer is indeed broken......

"This primitive tool is not as strong as something made by the Empire, and can only be used as a toy!" Raven 001 said confidently, and the small half of the orange peel on her head finally fell to the ground as she spoke.

Actually, I don't think the root cause of things being used is this, but ...... Forget it, those ravens are mechanical idiots anyway.

"Do you want to use the bathroom?" Sylvia only then reacted, looking at her clone with concern, "It's ......"

"Ah, no, no, I'll just clean it up with dissociation myself." Raven 001 hurriedly waved her hand, and I felt that she had made a wise decision: Sylvia's water heater was saved.

"The new generation of Hilin Apostles is very different from the previous generation," Sandora couldn't help but sigh as Raven 001 cried and muttered as she broke through the stains on her body with a cloud of arcane light at the doorway, and muttered as she went to clean up the pieces of the juicer, "They seem to be more obvious in terms of sensibility, and they always have some weird fetishes." ”

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" I scratched my hair, I always felt that the appearance of a strange new generation of apostles like Raven 001 had something to do with me, this is not groundless, Father God has said that the void creatures are a huge source of information disturbance, in other words, I just don't do anything at this station, and after a few years, there will be one hundred and eighty fantasy seeds within a hundred miles, so these Xiling apostles born after the establishment of the new empire have a ...... in character The egg hurts. More or less related to myself.

"I don't think it's a bad thing," Sandora sucked the orange juice and chewed it twice, "the racial nature of the Apostles of Hyling will not change, at least their personality will not affect their mission and honor as apostles. And Tavel has an unconfirmed statistic that the basic soldiers of the new generation of apostles have a higher chance of evolving into more advanced individuals about two percent higher than the average recorded in the old empire, although this is a very inconspicuous number. But I think it's mostly the result of their heightened perceptual abilities – a high level of mental activity can enhance the individual's tolerance and judgment of ambiguous information, and help them to be exposed to external stimuli that allow them to evolve when they have more opportunities. ”

I think what Sandora said is too professional, so it is directly translated into words that I can understand better: whether you can evolve or not depends mainly on whether you lack heart and lungs, like Raven 001, at first glance, you are a general......

"Ah, yes—" Sylvia sat quietly with us for a moment, as if suddenly remembering something. "Bella Vera said she was looking for you - I told her to come out......"

Bella Vera? What is she looking for us?

Sandora and I looked at each other for some reason, Bella Vera was an absolute secluded person. It can even be said that the guy in Shadow City is quieter than Sylvia. At least Sylvia still has to stand behind the counter in a daze every day, but Bella Vera maintains a biological clock that sleeps in the depths of Sylvia's consciousness every day, waking up once every seven days on average, and she doesn't take the initiative to come out to find someone. …,

Sylvia closed her eyes as she spoke, and her temperament slowly changed, and after a moment, she opened her eyes again. The lazy and tranquil expression on his face was gone, replaced by an aura of a queen's demeanor - but was immediately pushed back by Sandora with the same aura. She glanced at both of us. Nodding: "Oh, came to me for dinner?" ”

Bella Vera's mouth is really not fuel-efficient - the fuel consumption is almost catching up with a big trailer with eight wheels in the rear!

"If you talk nonsense, I'll give you a rent increase." Sandora glanced at Bella Vera. When the other party appears, it seems to be her little hobby to occasionally talk to her. And the king of ravens on the opposite side showed a look of indifference: "Whatever, anyway, my main body is Sylvia, and it is Sylvia who has to pay the rent, so I don't believe that you two are really ruthless enough to bully a disabled person......"

“…… Forget it, we didn't bring Lilina and Bingdis with us today, and we don't have enough equipment to talk about you, or they can make you cry," I waved my hand, "You have something to do with me and Sandora?" ”

"Fifteen Days Zone...... It's restored, isn't it? Bellavera casually pulled a shiny arcane orb in the air, causing the destructive power core to jump around in her hand," I saw from the information link. Every time you go out, you can always bring surprises to people, and the action has never been small, and this time you actually carried out a message release within the void. ”

It turned out to be this matter, but I didn't expect that Bella Vera, who had already announced her retirement from the mountains and forests and didn't care about the world, took the initiative to care about the news, and I was a little surprised: "The movement is really not small, you should also know the way, this time even my sister and they are involved." ”

"I don't care about your big family," Bella Vera said in a boyish manner, making arcane orbs one after another, and then lining them up on the table, "I just know that those 'old friends' are going to be restless again this time, right?" ”

Bella Vera was referring to no one else, of course, the Fallen Apostle, and Sandora admitted bluntly: "That's right, Ah Jun and I have thought of this, and have made some preparations to mislead the enemy. ”

"You want them to have no time to interfere with the formation of your new legion?" Bella Vera actually guessed this directly, although it was only an approximation, but what she said was not far from ten. I just thought in my heart: don't be deceived by this guy's lazy and lazy appearance now, she is also the queen of the empire back then, what Sandora and I can think of, of course she can think of, and think from the same height!

"Need a helper?" Bellavila looked at me in a daze, and suddenly chuckled, and the topic jumped.

I didn't react at first, nodded subconsciously, and waited for two seconds before a word came out of my mouth: "What?" ”

“…… Is he usually like this? Bella Vera looked at Sandora speechlessly, and while she stretched out her hand to me, Sandora spread her hands indifferently: "I think Ah Jun is quite attractive when he is confused - and he is never confused when it comes to big things." ”

"Ahem. "I finally came back to my senses and looked at Bellavila in amazement," you mean...... Are you going to go out of the mountains? Help us build a legion or train soldiers or something? ”

When I realized what Bella Vera meant, the first thing that came to my mind was her other identity: one of the one hundred and thirty-five supreme heads of the old empire! That's an epic hero who is on a par with Sandora, an epic hero who drops at least five purple outfits after being overthrown...... In short, she is one of the people who occupies the apex of all the Apostles of Hilling, and she is also the leader of all ravens, how high will her attainments in occultism be? I think I'm afraid he is the first person in the Empire today. But even if this has been known for a long time. Sandora and I have never thought of dragging Bella Vera out to help, the reason is that she is now the king of ravens Bella Villa only a few times now, most of the time she is just a poor girl who sells desserts on the military blockade line and has to live on handouts every month, Sylvia's image of being useless except for selling cuteness is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and neither Sandora nor I have included her in the labor list.........

"Just look at your eyes and tell you what you're thinking." Queen Bellavera looked at me out of the corner of her eye, then snapped her fingers in the direction of the counter. "One, come here."

Raven 001 sped over. He was still holding a small half of the cake in his hand. My mouth was bulging, and I was suddenly surprised: "You just spent half the day stealing food in the back?!" ”

"Most of these things won't be sold anyway," Bella Vera waved her hand, "It would be a great help for her to eat all the cake left over from yesterday......" Before she could finish her sentence, Sandora was already propping up the table with her hands shining brightly, "I can help too!" ”

Bella Vera looked at Sandora helplessly: "...... Can you stop being so ashamed? At least the princess of Warsong. ”

Sandora pointed to the flour on Bella Vera's chest and the unwiped cream on her face, "You're still the Raven King." ”

"That ......" At this time, Raven 001 finally swallowed the cake in his mouth, and waited for the gap between the few bigwigs in front of him to speak, and hurriedly said. Mother, do you have commands? ”

"Sit here. Deep standby. Bellavella gestured to the chair across from us, and Raven 001 let out an oh. There was a look of clarity on her face, it seemed that she knew what Bella Vera was planning, and then sat down as instructed, under the unexplained gaze of me and Sandora, she slowly closed her eyes, and finally slammed on the table, and there was a sound of energy relief from the body, and on the other side, Bella Vera also lost consciousness, but the latter was prepared, and she dragged my arm over as a pillow in advance......

"Perfect conversion." Less than five seconds after the deep standby, Raven 001 sat up and hooked his chin at me and Sandora, and I was stunned: no matter how much I jumped out in the past, that mass-produced raven would never make such a bold move to his superiors!

And "Bellavila", who was lying on my arm, also moved, raised her head and smirked at me: "You have cream on your arm—"

It's the kind of slow, soft tone as if you haven't woken up.

"What are you ......" I vaguely guessed something, and pointed to Raven 001 in surprise, who nodded proudly, "As you can see, I'm Bellavila, borrowing this body for the time being." ”

Under Sandora's curious questioning, Bella Vera, who temporarily borrowed Raven 001's body, finally explained the results of her research: "You also know that Sylvia and I share a body, or even a soul, and we are incomplete, so I can't leave my shell at all, and most of the time I can only hide in Sylvia's seriously delayed head as a personality." Originally, this didn't have much effect on me, and there are actually a lot of things to do to live in another person's spiritual realm—the mother and daughter who live in your spiritual sea must have the most experience—but after hearing the news of the home planet fusion recently, I feel that I should come out to help, after all, you have taken me in anyway. That's the solution I found: temporarily entering the body of a mass-produced raven, I was able to stay awake for a longer period of time, and I was almost as independent as I had ever been, and you see, I was almost 100 percent attached to this body. The possessed version of Bellavira moved her arm, Raven 001's, with a satisfied look on her face. All of the mass-produced ravens are copied from my soul fragments, they are an extension of my soul, and temporarily occupying the body of one of the ravens will not put any pressure on both parties, and since the consciousness is still attached to one's own soul, it does not violate the principle that Sylvia and I share one soul, because theoretically, all the ravens in the empire share the same soul. ”

"How else can you do that?" I looked at Bella Vera in amazement, and Sylvia, who was sitting next to me with a smirk of five plus sugar levels, "Is there anything wrong with Raven 001?" Also, how long can you keep it this way? ”

"As I said, this 'borrowing' doesn't have a big impact on both sides, and at most you can recover with a rest," Bella Vera said, smiling at me suddenly, "Oh, I cheered just now, because you cared about her in the first place." I want to think about it...... This is the first full conversion, and it's not clear how long it will last, but I'm guessing that a conversion, at least a day or so, and then a day off, but it's much better than living in symbiosis with Sylvia, and I'm going to let those mass-produced ravens take turns to be my carriers, and their endurance is still weaker after all. ”

"So now, I'm free to move," Bella Vera concluded, turning her gaze to me and Sandora, "I think you need an expert on how to assemble a strong legion of spellcasters. ”
