12. Meeting, Dance Party (7)
Wire that is repeatedly bent will eventually break.
A camel laden with goods will be crushed when a straw is pressed.
The same simple truth applies to human beings.
"Lacerations, burns, soft tissue contusions, cracked bones, fractures, displacement of internal organs, concussions—all old wounds from the past, and if it weren't for careful treatment, it would have been impossible to see her body in such an exaggerated state. We are not qualified to say that, but the church is really inhuman. ”
Flower Mantis has seen many women who have been played with as toys by perverts, corpses with lacerations and burns on their thighs and breasts, and walking corpses with female dysfunction - the kind of things that have never been lacking in the slums where he was born, and which he has seen since entering the research institute.
Unlike the fleshy flesh, Diana didn't have a single scar on the outside, and all injuries were left on the inside of her body.
Specifically, after each battle, you quickly heal your wounds with healing magic, and then plunge into the next battlefield without fully healing. The small wounds that remain in the body continue to accumulate, like iron wires that are repeatedly bent, and eventually-
"Does she know about it?"
The flower mantis's indifferent analysis made Roland sigh for a while, and he had already noticed it before the flower mantis gave the answer.
"How could it not be. ”
Diana is 16 years old this year, and the earliest trauma is speculated to have been formed about 7 or 8 years ago, no matter how dull it is, in terms of the body of a girl in the growth period, the abnormal condition of the body should be to the point where it cannot be ignored. The reason for insisting on fighting is probably not as simple as having a firm heart of faith.
In the past, armies of various countries tried to develop techniques such as "berserker" and "selflessness" to enhance the combat capability of soldiers. Due to the defects of losing reason and not distinguishing between friend and foe, in recent years, he has switched to using "energy drugs" and "combat tablets" produced by V.E. to create a sleepless killing machine through amphetamines drugs, but abuse addiction and concurrent mania and murder paranoia have also plagued the military. The Defence Force, on the other hand, has recently focused on ways to stimulate endorphins and adrenaline, which not only give soldiers strength and speed, but also remove pain that gets in the way.
So, will the church have a similar development in this area?
"According to internal military records, the church has developed a spiritual intervention technique called 'Paradise', which slows down pain and accelerates the speed of thinking. Increases Intelligence Processing and Mana Sensing abilities. However, due to an accident in which the person who received the death of the person who received the truth, the development was stopped. ”
Ostensibly, it was secretly developed and then applied to the sister of the saint - as a conspiracy theory. It's also a bit too much.
"Who knows. Maybe there's something going on. ”
Sit up from the water. The flower mantis shrugged and continued:
"As a doctor, it is unethical to disclose the condition of a patient to others, but my job is more important. ”
"It's really undisciplined. ”
Rest your head back on the edge of the bath. Roland closed his eyes in annoyance.
########
The National School of Magic operates a boarding system, and students live on campus except for weekends, winter and summer vacations, and heavy festivals. Because it is an aristocratic school, the difference between the height of the students' family background will be fully reflected in the dormitory conditions.
The average minor aristocrat, i.e., students from knightly to viscount families, lived in single rooms from the ground floor to the 5th floor of the dormitory tower, about 30 square meters in size, with toilets and showers, and if there were no servants, the academy would assign one. The students from the Baron and Earl's family live in large rooms on the 6th to 8th floors, each with 50 square meters of space, a bathroom with a bathtub and a soundproof toilet, and 2~3 servants. The 9th~10th floors are the site of the resident teachers.
The Marquis and the students of the upper class do not live in the tower, and the 280 square meters of villa-style two-storey cottages in the lakeside scenic area are specially prepared for them, with all the basic furnishings, and if they are not satisfied, they can also spend a sum of money to decorate, add furniture and daily necessities.
Roland was not a nobleman, but his adoptive father was more powerful and wealthy than a nobleman. At the beginning, he spent money to choose a high-end boutique house with a good geographical location for Roland in the lakeside villa area, and also planned to support an exclusive carriage, but later gave up because of the school's opposition. Even so, the matter became a point of contention among the students, and it was not until his marriage contract to Minerva was announced that the discussion began to subside.
It is said that Li Lin was still dissatisfied with this, because he originally considered adding security measures, but in the end he gave up due to strong opposition from the school and Roland.
What would have become of the house if the appearance of the house had been modified according to the president's idea? Diana looked out at the lakeside forest in the distance, thinking for no reason, and quickly gave up imagining the terrible sight.
Today's villas are designed by Roland himself, simple and sophisticated, without the solemnity of the aristocratic mansion where every object tells history, nor the suffocation of too reality in Li Lin's office. Simple and trendy, jumping out and not cluttered, it can be regarded as unique. Let that Li Lin, who has only calculations in his mind except work, design it, and it will definitely become a very terrible thing.
Having said that, there are still quite a few traces of Li Lin's style in this house, such as-
"It's time to take your medicine, Miss Nun. ”
The singer's good voice sounded behind him every second, tired of exploring when the other party was approaching her back, Diana's expressionless face turned to the back, and the man in the tuxedo deacon robe put down the silver plate on the tea table, and the crystal cup containing mineral water and 3 white tablets were placed on the plate.
That's how Roland called the man, a man in his twenties, with a handsome and slightly flirtatious face, who resembled a bard when he held a musical instrument, who worked as a guard and now worked as a nurse and watchman.
At first glance, it looks weak, but if you believe this disguise and act rashly, I am afraid that the end will be very miserable.
Diana had tried to escape several times, each time carefully checking her surroundings and escape routes, but each time she was about to act, Mantis would appear in a position where there should be no one to guard it. This is no longer a matter of accident or negligence, this man has the strength to cut off Diana's hope of escape. Under the mantis, there are also stove horses and crickets under its command, and spiders assist from the side, and the security system of the entire mansion can be described as foolproof.
It's not that she hasn't considered the plan of using force to forcibly break through, but first, whether she can defeat the "worm" in the house and then break through the monitors who may be lurking on the periphery is a certain risk. Second, the church has not yet made a full break with the V.E company, and if such an action is witnessed and leaked, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble. Based on the above considerations, Diana decided not to take action for the time being, and to observe V.E's next move before deciding on the corresponding countermeasures.
Nodding to the mantis who brought her the potion, Diana swallowed the pill with her neck back, when footsteps were heard from the stairs, and the corner of her eye reflected Roland walking on the balcony. (To be continued......)
