Chapter 1007 Futaba and Frank
"Good morning, dear BLACK, did you sleep well~"
Futaba winked at Mo Tan playfully and made a 'pop' sound He closed the thick "Selected Collection of General Practical Examples of Mixed Magic" in his hand, raised the corners of his mouth in a cute arc, and stared unblinking at the guy in front of him who seemed to have no idea about the situation at all. His eyes were deep and concentrated.
Then——
"B... Blake?"
The man on the bed blinked his eyes in confusion, and after reacting for a while, he raised his finger and pointed to the tip of his nose with some effort: "Are you calling me?"
The girl narrowed her eyes slightly and said noncommittally. He smiled and asked: "What do you think?"
"Uh, sorry, my name is Frank."
Although he looks quite comely, he looks a bit dull and young. The man rubbed the tip of his nose in embarrassment, then squinted his eyes and kept groping around on the pillow while saying awkwardly: "Frank Hughes, his name is not Black, so this lady, do you know?" It's a mistake..."
"If you're looking for glasses, they're on the other side of your pillow."
Futaba sighed, interrupted the other person's words, and curled his lips and said: "Oh, by the way, I didn't recognize the wrong person, I just didn't remember your name clearly, Mr. Frank."
"It's Frank, Frank..." Hughes."
The man who introduced himself like this. Following the prompts, I managed to find a pair of slightly thick black myopia glasses. I put them on slowly and then breathed a sigh of relief. Then I turned my head again to look at Futaba sitting beside my bed, using his The face that looked softer than before smiled and said: "Thank you, beautiful lady, I ..."
"You can call me Futaba, Mr. Frank."
The girl yawned, took out a bottle of synthetic drink from her bag and took a sip, feeling uninterested. Qidi answered quickly: "This is the [Stars] Hotel in Academy City Central District." store, the reason why you are here is because you passed out on a chair in the outer ring area for some 'inexplicable' reason. If you are willing to share with me the story of why you slept there, I will tell you who it is. Got you to this place.”
Frank Hughes was slightly startled, and then pinched his eyebrows in confusion. After a while, he said slowly: "I... I was watching the heat over at the South Gate... uh, I meant to write poetry. Collecting materials, and then suddenly I was attracted by the Chauvin Empire... It should be called the Chauvin Empire, and I was attracted by the two dragon chariots in their team. , and then I wanted to stand closer and take a closer look, but I happened to catch the eye of the person in the car in front..."
Futaba scratched his hair in confusion and said in confusion: "The Chauvin Empire ? Are you talking about that small coastal country in the southwest continent that is very good at doing business but has only so much strength? ”
"Well, Ms. Futaba, you are right, but the Chauvin Empire is actually a very interesting country. I traveled there two years ago."
Frank seems Feeling that Futaba's evaluation of the Chauvin Empire was a bit inappropriate, he said seriously: "I was fortunate enough to work under the title of 'Shavin Empire' Wen Zhenzhu's Banser City lived for two days. The customs and customs there are really impressive..."
"Oh, I have an impression of Banser City. I remember that the place seemed to be occupied by the most powerful giant in the empire. The mage was slaughtered. From the city lord to the local dog, no one was left alive. Now it has become a cursed earth. "
Frank was shocked at the time: "What? Are you talking about the God of Law..."
"Yes, what is the old man's name? He said he was beaten to death by his own people for treason. "
Futaba smacked his lips and shrugged: "Okay, don't say it's all that bad. You said you made eye contact with the person in the car, and then what?"
Frank sat up slowly, He covered his forehead and whispered: "Then... To be honest, I can't remember clearly. I only remember that I was confused at the time, and then I walked aimlessly. The last impression I had was that I knocked down a person on a trail. Student, you are here when you come to your senses.”
“Very good, thank you for your nonsense, which has almost zero reference value. I don’t understand the situation at all.”
Futaba sighed, slowly put on her boots, lazily stood up and stood beside Frank's bed and stared at the latter for a long time. It wasn't until Frank's expression gradually changed from confusion to anxiety that she spoke quickly. Said: "My name is Futaba, one of the members of the Miracle City delegation. I am smart, cute, young, beautiful, smart, lively, cheerful and well-spoken. I am a high-level mage of the whole system. I was chosen by Kenneth A. Archie, the Sage of the Mist Moon. The talented girl raised by Zolti, one of the three major astrologers in the world, and the apprentice of Ms. Diana A. Achi Zolti, please give me some advice, Mr. Hughes."
"Call me. Just like Frank."
The young man on the bed smiled subconsciously, then his expression suddenly changed and he was shocked: "Wait! Did you just say that you were Diana's apprentice?" >
Futaba nodded impatiently: "That's right, I am Diana's apprentice. She has to say in my ears at least countless times every day, 'I don't know if Frank is doing well now', 'Frank Are you feeling lonely now?', 'Do you think Frank is thinking about me?', 'What if I'm not thinking about Frank when he's thinking about me', 'But if I'm thinking about Frank all the time, I can't do the experiment. 'Wait, wait, wait, the unlucky apprentice!"
Frank's rather handsome face suddenly became very exciting, and after a few seconds, it settled into an awkward but polite expression. Above: "Maybe I should write more letters to her."
"If you are still alive after this separation, please be sure not to do this."
Futaba immediately launched a retort, gritted his teeth and said: "Every time I receive your letter, and the one I just wrote to you When finishing the letter, Diana will talk twice as much as usual! Especially the nonsense about you!"
Frank opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but he finally coughed lightly! With a sound, he touched the tip of his nose and replied: "Well, okay."
[He is lying, he must be planning to write more letters to Diana! 】
Futaba almost instantly extracted the truth from the other party's poor concealment and wandering eyes, but did not expose the latter, but said in a bad tone: "Now, can you please yourself? Get off this bed? Did you see those things like stars around you? They are the barriers set by my mentor Diana. They will only be lifted after you leave this bed."
"Boundary?"
Frank blinked and curiously stretched out his hand towards the light belt that was constantly flowing around him like a star, only to find that the little starlight was flowing from his hand as lightly as if there was life. Went around.
After letting out a soft cry of 'Hey', Frank raised his hand to grab another strip of light, and then the starlight passed by his hand again.
Then Frank continues to catch, and the stars continue to circle!
Frank catches again, and the stars circle again!
Frank knelt on the bed and grabbed, and the stars continued to circle!
Frank...
"You must be sick!" Futaba, who couldn't bear it, stamped his feet hard and said angrily: "How old are you! You have nothing to do with the barrier. Damn! ”
“Ah, sorry, I can’t help myself”
Only then did Frank come back to his senses, retracted his arm that had been waving in the air for a long time, and said with a smile: "Well, Miss Futaba, what did you just say about this barrier?"
"Can't help it?"
Futaba looked at Frank very suspiciously for a long time, and after a while, he shrugged and said: "Simply speaking, it is used to protect you. As long as you don't take the initiative to follow Coming out of the barrier or lifted by Diana herself, a person of my level can't even cast two arcane spells to check your physical condition, let alone attack you."
Frank. Suddenly it dawned on her: "It turns out, Miss Futaba, you want to help me check my body. I understand. I'll get out of bed right now."
After that, he lifted the quilt and started to roll towards the bed.
"It's not necessarily a physical examination."
A flash of murderous intent flashed in Futaba's eyes, and he sneered: "I might also want to trick you out and kill you."
"How could that be? I believe in you, Miss Futaba.”
As a result, Frank didn’t hesitate at all because of these words. He quickly put on his boots and got out of bed happily. Standing up, he smiled and said: "In other words, I believe that I am Diana's apprentice. Although you don't seem to like me very much, I think you should like Diana very much."
With At the same time, the moment Frank stood up, the barrier beside the bed that combined arcane magic and astrological concepts instantly dissipated, blending into the air without a trace like flying snow under the warm sun.
Frank Hughes is officially completely defenseless.
No matter from which perspective, whether we have a God's perspective or a world without God, we can easily draw a conclusion, that is, if Futaba wants to kill the man in front of him now , just move your fingers and you're done.
As the only mage who is among the top twenty in the player's personal combat power rankings, Futaba, who can control elemental power at will, can even rank in the top five among all players in terms of destructive power. After all, In most worldviews, the profession of mage is a group whose main theme is 'destruction'. Except for freaks like Christina, even Cordova, who just beat up a bunch of top students in Academy City today, , it is difficult for the ten thousand year old second in the rankings to easily withstand the full bombardment of such a mage.
As a [Magic Controller] who can completely omit the two steps of chanting and drawing elemental models as long as he is proficient enough, and can usually cast most spells instantly, Futaba has 99% of them at this moment. The person in front of him was blown into ashes within two seconds. It was useless even if Diana started to rush here at the moment the barrier was lifted.
But the theory is just a theory. After glancing at the unsuspecting Frank Hughes in front of him, Futaba just casually placed two single-target arcane magic to detect the direction, and simply confirmed Once the other party's body was fine, there was no other action.
"Now that the barrier has been lifted, you don't have to continue standing there, Mr. Frank."
Futaba gestured to Frank to sit back on the bed, while he slowly squatted back on the chair. , re-opened the thick book "General Use of Mixed Magic" "Selected Collection of Sexual Instances", without raising his head, he said: "I have just checked your body. There should be no problem. If you are willing, you can take a nap now and wait for Diana to come back."
Frank sat back on the bed obediently Nodding slightly, he actually took off his shoes again and got into the quilt, and then curiously asked Futaba: "Where are you, Miss Futaba? If you have other things to do, I think..."
"You feel useless, if I leave you alone, especially If you were left here alone after the barrier disappeared, Diana would definitely cause trouble for me."
Futaba curled her lips and said unhappily: "Why else do you think I would. Are you staying here all the time? "
"Well, I understand, I'll excuse you, Miss Futaba."
Frank smiled apologetically, then pulled the quilt to his chin and closed his eyes again.
Two minutes later——
【Asleep? Did he really just take a nap? 】
Futaba glanced coldly at Frank, whose breathing had completely calmed down. In the next moment, two groups of exquisite wind elemental formations appeared under Frank's bed and in the center of the ceiling, silently. Futaba feeds back a series of information on the person on the bed such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
A moment later, Futaba even secretly used [mental check] three times on Frank!
The conclusion is...
[The sleep state, although it is a relatively light one, is theoretically correct. This guy is even dreaming. 】
Futaba, who was previously unable to use any magic to influence Frank due to the barrier, finally came to a conclusion, although this conclusion directly overturned the guess she had been certain about since she left the City of Miracles. .
Frank is sleeping, even dreaming.
It is completely different from the player's physical condition when he is offline, which seems to be comatose, but is actually almost stagnant. Although Frank is in an unconscious state now, he is not in an offline coma where all the values are 'stable' to the point of being almost insane. It is the situation when ordinary people are in light sleep or dreaming, although they are in 'sleep' but their thinking still does not stop being active.
In reality, everyone can basically do this. As long as they are not very sleepy, they can just take a nap and dream. The mental virtual environment you enter through "mimetic sleep" is almost a fantasy.
Just now Futaba couldn't be sure because of Diana's barrier, but with the assistance of two sets of wind elemental arrays, she could almost determine it after using [mental check] on Frank three times in a row. Yes, Frank Hughes was sleeping in the bed.
In other words...
The possibility that Frank Hughes is a player has dropped to freezing point.
Under this premise, the probability that he is actually someone pretending to be someone is infinitely close to zero!
So——[Frank Hughes ≠ Tan Mo/BLACK]! ?
