"Disrespect, disrespect."
"Oh, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to disturb you.
It's just that you seem to be free at the moment, unlike Morgana who is surrounded by so many people, buzzing."
As he spoke, he deliberately used his two small hands to make a fly's flapping wings. "So I came over to say hello to you."
Dick smiled and poured some mountain wine for Stein in front of him.
"Yeah." Stein licked his lips and took a sip.
"The sour taste can indeed refresh you to a certain extent, but I can't drink too much, otherwise..."
He stretched out a finger and tapped his head, "It will affect the use of my wisdom.
"Actually, I'm so curious that I'm about to burst out of my throat. I want to jump on your back to see what you are made of."
"How do you say this?" Dick looked at Stein's burning gaze and couldn't help but shrink back.
"I'm just curious, can one person really defeat an army of tens of thousands?"
Huh?
The more rumors spread, the more outrageous it becomes...
"I have never defeated tens of thousands of troops. In fact, there may not even be a thousand troops, and I have not counted them.
They are just an army of adventurers composed of Church of the Eternal Fire's Witch Hunters and mercenaries, and they attacked in several waves."
Dick now understood why Stein was talking to him.
"I really envy you for having such a good physique.
When can you come to my laboratory and let's study the mysteries of the body together?"
Stein said, gently stroking his mustache with one finger.
After Dick refused, he rubbed the armrest of the quartz glasses again, "Since you are not interested in this, we can also explore the mystery of Deep-Sea World together."
"How can a person enter the deep sea?" Dick smiled and shook his head.
"It's true that ordinary people can't do it, but what if we combine technology and magic?
Thanks to the energy stones provided by Ms. Morgana, coupled with the demon Signs she wrote, after three years, I have gradually overcome the difficulties above and below the water. This is just like you demon hunters who can defeat powerful monsters after swallowing the magic potion.
Therefore, I developed a device called "Deep-Sea Beep Beep Beep".
This is because when it enters the deep sea, the equipment will make a "beep beep" sound."
"Isn't this just a submarine?"
"Submarine? This name is more concise, so let's call it submarine."
"Can a ship really enter the sea? Are you kidding me?"
"I guarantee it with my honor! The submarine I built has a shell made of meteorite, obsidian and a variety of metals.
The formation attached to the glazed glass can resist the strong pressure of seawater just like a metal shell.
Moreover, through some technological purification devices, gases can be decomposed from seawater, just for us to breathe."
"You mean splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen? Oxygen happens to be what we need to breathe."
"So that substance is called oxygen? You actually know this?"
"Not only that, hydrogen, another substance decomposed, is lighter than air and will explode when exposed to fire."
Stein's quartz glasses reflected a scorching golden light under the candlelight. "Dick, how do you know so much?"
"I have come into contact with many warlocks. When I was at the Magic Academy, Dean Mary talked about these things."
After Stein listened, he leaned Tiny's body on the back of the chair with some frustration, his legs hanging carelessly.
"It would be great if all the warlocks could be like Dean Mary, put down the struggle for power and contribute to the progress of the Panda Continent."
"Everyone has different ideas." Dick paused for a moment, "Are you sure your submarine can really dive into the deep sea?"
"Of course it's possible. I'm still somewhat confident about it. I've done 13 experiments with horses. The submarine can stay in the deep sea for two days, and then it can be replenished with energy stones."
Dick secretly thought that in this case, he could borrow a submarine from Stein and explore his own way to Deep-Sea World.
At the subsequent banquet, the surroundings were still noisy, but the two of them seemed to be no one else, chatting like old friends about everything from technology to humanities to the Panda Continent.
The more we chatted, the more Stein was amazed at the knowledge of the demon hunter in front of him.
He never thought that a powerful demon hunter could be involved in various fields.
And Dick was also surprised by the profound insights of Stein, a little dwarf, in scientific research.
It seems that every era is full of talents, and Stein is undoubtedly the leader in the field of scientific research in this era.
It wasn't until Red Hair spoke again that Dick realized that the banquet was coming to an end.
Morgana The guests around her had already dispersed. After saying hello to them, she went back to the Duke's Mansion to rest.
According to her, this time she was ordered by King Vinese to solve the problem of the Duke's daughter's residence, so she should let herself relax for a few days.
Stein on the other side yawned loudly, and Dick suddenly realized that the person in front of him was just an ordinary person.
Focusing on chatting for hours on end is extremely energy-consuming for ordinary people.
Coincidentally, Stein is also resting in the mansion tonight, and the room is next to Dick.
Stein shouted before leaving that if you have any questions, you can go to him at any time.
Dick quietly poured himself another glass of wild wine, took a few sips, and prepared to go back to his room to rest.
At this time, the housekeeper stopped him:
"Master Dick, Red Hair is waiting for you in the study. I have something I want to tell you. Can you come with me?"
Dick followed the polite butler, walked through a long corridor, passed through the living room, and came to a side door.
After the housekeeper stepped back, Dick opened the door, and Red Hair, with a sad look on his face, was gently tapping the wooden table beside him with his knuckles.
Dick smelled a special vanilla smell on Red Hair. It should be some kind of perfume. It must have been specially sprayed to receive guests.
"You're here, sit down."
Dick just sat down and asked, "Chris, what's the matter?"
"Actually, I... have other news about Siren Princess."
"Then why didn't you say before..."
Before he finished speaking, there were footsteps outside the door, and the door was suddenly pushed open.
The angry lady burst in, the pendant on her body rattling with violent breathing, and the nervous-looking housekeeper followed behind her.
"Sorry, Chief Red Hair, I couldn't stop Madam."
Chris's fingers suddenly tightened on the cup handle. When he slowly stood up, the wooden chair legs made a harsh friction sound with the stone floor, "Ortega, what are you doing here?"
"Don't you understand what I'm here to do?"
Ortega took an angry step forward without flinching, "You must speak clearly to this demon hunter."
Regardless of whether this commission is from you or someone else, this matter must be settled immediately, otherwise I will tell my father."
"You... okay." Red Hair's body trembled suddenly, and he slowly waved his hand, "You go out first."
The butler gave a gentle salute and then closed the door.
Red Hair just stared at the cup in his hand.
The candlelight beside the table suddenly burst into flames, and Chris's face looked particularly old in the interplay of light and dark.
His Adam's apple rolled several times before he finally squeezed out broken words:
"Dick, I killed her with my own hands, I... killed Siren Princess Nazi."
Dick subconsciously straightened his back and leaned forward, "When did it happen?"
"Just..."
Red Hair glanced at Ortega, but his wife turned her head sideways and crossed her arms.
"Not long after we got married, King Vinese entrusted the princess, my current wife Ortega, to me. I thought about refusing, but..."
"Hmph, Chris, don't act like you're being nice after getting a bargain. Without me, how could your New Island be safe?
The surrounding leaders are all coveting this territory." Ortega replaced it with a new bone fan and shook it quickly.
"After that..." Red Hair smiled bitterly, "Madam discovered Nazi. You should understand that I am the king of a country. Many times I cannot only consider the love of my children. There are some things... I can't do anything about."
