Stray - Chapter 279

    The heat of the desert now doesn’t bother Nemo. Unfortunately, at this moment, he had to remove all instinctual protection and adjust his physique to the level of an ordinary human, so that he could sweat smoothly without appearing too abnormal.

    The nursing uniform of the Royal Military Academy Clement has been improved, and the men’s uniform has been modified in several cuttings, which makes it more comfortable to wear. Nemo rolled up the cuffs of his uniform, wiped the sweat from his forehead, slowed down amid the complaints of the students, and landed beside Oliver in the logistical uniform.

    Make sure no one was paying attention to them, Nemo coughed twice: “Ice, Ollie. The professor is too close to me to use the abyss magic.”

    Then he opened his mouth at Oliver and pointed to his own.

      “time flies.”

    “Yeah, how are you going to explain it this time? The three little guys in the Godwin’s are very clever. Olivia can barely coax, Eddie is sixteen– He stared at you for a long time last time we were drinking with Godwin.” Nemo crunched and chewed on the ice.

    “Big Brother will find a way to explain.”

    Oliver dismissed the headache errand with a hearty face, and put a block of ice in Nemo’s mouth.

    “And when we get our Clemens College graduation badges, we can use them as identification, legally impersonating our own… er, distant relatives? Enough to settle them.”

    The angry Godwin Lopez mentioned in the communication crystal a few days ago that his rebellious eldest son has refused to speak to him for three weeks – childhood obedient and obedient, Ge Devin himself seriously lacks the experience of normal father and son relationship, so he has to seek help from his cousin remotely.

    “It’s hard to say, after all, that kid Eddie wants to run out and become a mercenary. I agree with Godwin on this point. He is too young, it is best to study at the academy first.”

    “You sound more and more like Flint.” Nemo smoothed his sweaty black hair.

    Oliver smiled, it was still a face that belonged to a young man, but his eyes did not have the slightest taste of greenness. “Like? Father, he didn’t insist that I go to the city to study.”

    “You two gentlemen, I can understand that you are tired, but the formation of the team must be maintained. We will soon arrive at the ruins, and then we can cook some Shajiao plum soup.”

    Even with the scorching sun, their nearly seventy-year-old professor of ancient Elvish language is still extraordinarily vigorous. The old man propped up his cane, the tip of which was about to stab Nemo in the back, only to be blocked by a hand.

    “You stop at the end of the line, I’ll help you manage these students.” A slightly lower male voice sounded.

    “Holy, no, Professor Wilhelm. This… this is too much trouble for you. Well, I actually protested at the time – I’m old, but I can’t let the chief nurse follow. Not that dangerous expedition, just to see desert ruins. Even if something happened to me, the kids wouldn’t be in danger.”

    “Don’t mind.” The middle-aged professor smiled. “I didn’t force it, I made the application myself. Anyway, there are no urgent tasks recently, so I will stay at the school for a longer time. There is only Di Hailan nearby, and I just want to do some fresh research on the medicinal value.”

    The old man scratched his face and laughed twice. He grimaced at the two lazy young men and walked to the end of the line, leaning on his cane.

    “Long time no see, Nemo.” The middle-aged professor’s eyes softened.

    It’s different from when I first met, I don’t know if it’s because of age or just straightening my back. Hayden Wilhelm looks a little taller, and the freckles on his face have faded a lot. His hair was still curled up badly, and those slightly large eyes had no longer felt neurotic, but looked extremely sharp.

    “Hayden.” Nemo patted the other’s arm.

    The introverted young nurse in my memory also faded away, and even looked a little more serious and majestic. Now he should have heard part of the truth from his wife Delia, but his attitude is naturally the same as before.

    “The last time I saw you two was at Delly and me’s wedding, right?” Hayden said half-jokingly, “I went to Leonard’s side to help out some time ago, I just missed your admission. Then there were a lot of troubles when the school started, and we haven’t been able to chat well.”

    “…You really haven’t changed at all.” His eyes swept up and down the two, and Hayden’s voice was filled with emotion.

    “Speaking of this, you’ve really changed a lot. They said you failed 70% of the students last year, Hayden, you haven’t done this before…I think about it, harsh?”

    “In peaceful times, students are too impetuous.”

    Hearing the nursing-related questions, Hayden raised his face almost reflexively, and his tone became serious.

    “Nursing must be the most attentive, and there must be no omissions. You can’t get away with laughing and laughing. 70% is already my bottom line – they will save lives in the future! At first I tried It has been proven that it is more effective to scare them than to persuade them with good words.”

    “As expected of your roommate.” Oliver bumped Nemo with his elbow, “In some ways, your ideas are exactly the same.”

    “I couldn’t imagine you and Delia quarreling before, but I just gained the ability to imagine.” Nemo commented seriously.

    “Daily she…I can understand a little bit of the despair she’s been through, and the feeling of being slighted and denied. But, uh, you know. Sometimes her decisions are lacking Human feelings, I can’t help but… quarreling, at least she can listen to me, and I can understand some of her difficulties. “

    Hayden coughed a little embarrassedly and touched the wedding ring with the royal emblem on her ring finger.

    “Most of the time, we actually get along just fine.”

    “I take my words back, it’s not called ‘noisy’, it’s closer to ‘intensive communication’.” Nemo shook his head with a smile. “Is she okay lately?”

    “Very good, just keep talking about wanting to see Ms. Savage. Recently, Ms. Savage and Mr. Salter went to the wetlands to explore the jungle, and it was not easy to contact. How about you? I remember this The second inspection is voluntary. The two of you don’t seem like the type who likes to join in the fun.”

    “We have some acquaintances around here, stop by and take a look at them and bring back a few of them. Olivia has been clamoring to see them for a long time. That variety is too fragile, we have to ask for advice. Skills nurtured by experts.”

    Oliver did not hide the nostalgia on his face.

    “After all, the desert ruins are near Caleb village, we two will wait…”

    “Enemy attack! It’s a mid-level demon!” The combat student in front of him issued a warning, interrupting Oliver’s unfinished words. “Mage is ready! Wait, wait, they rushed behind! The logistics team dispersed immediately!”

    However, the incoming demon moves faster.

    The senior commander who led the team immediately broke into a cold sweat—the young logistic who was attacked did not resist, but was slammed by the devil and smashed into the hot sand.

    The gigantic white demon just pressed down on the poor logistician, lowered his head quickly, and stuck out his long purple-black tongue that belonged to the demon.

    Then licked it **** the face of the logistics man named “Oliver”.

    It licked hard, and when it got tired of licking, it rubbed its flat face twice. The scene was a bit weird for a while.

    “The knuckle lizard is gentle, and I’m here to watch, it’s no big deal. Keep going!” Hayden raised his voice and shouted to the front of the team, his tone returned to seriousness.

    Seeing only one knuckle lizard, which is accustomed to swarming, despite being curious, the students continued to move forward obediently under the order of the “Prince Professor”.

    The knuckle lizard was still squatting on Oliver, and continued to lick with a gesture of wanting to lick his face off. Nemo took a breath and tapped the much larger bone shell with his knuckles.

    “White II, right?” He clicked twice.

    White II’s licking movement stopped instantly.

    Then it fell to one side, turned its back to the sky, stretched its legs straight, and pretended to be dead. The tongue, which had not had time to retract his mouth, was still partially exposed.

    Nemo poked the lizard’s abdomen angrily and funny: “This trick didn’t fool me back then, do you really think it will work this time?”

    The jointed lizard, which has grown two or three times in size, blinked its four eyes, and the small bean-like eyes were visibly wet. The originally straight tail shrank slightly, rolled into a small ball, and shivered slightly.

    “It seems that our White I is still there.” Oliver got up from the sand and slapped the sand on his body.

    “I control my breath this time.” Nemo soothingly stroked the overturned belly of the knuckle lizard.

    “I know, it should remember our smell.” Oliver also reached out and touched the rough belly of the knuckle lizard.

     Being touched by Oliver, White II seemed to have temporarily forgotten his fear. It rolled over and landed on all fours, and in a little smoke, its shape began to melt, gradually becoming the shape of a fuller goat.

    Then began to rub against Oliver again.

    “Want to lead the way again?” Oliver patted the fake goat on the head.

    White II shook his head immediately.

    “In other words, our Lady Witch is doing pretty well recently.”

    The goat turned into a knuckle lizard blew softly.

    “It looks like it wants to follow you.” Hayden touched his chin and circled the sheep twice. “It seems that it has grown up. Since it can act alone, it must have the permission of the ethnic group. Let it follow first, I have not noticed any malice from it.”

    Hearing the somewhat familiar comment, Nemo sighed. Oliver on one side stroked the fake goat with emotion and whispered something.

    “I have a hunch that it will follow you this time… Ollie, do you want to keep it?”

    “If it will come with me.”

    “Then we’ll have to make it a sandcastle in the garden.”

    “…sounds great.”

    “But I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany you to Nadine’s place later, Nemo. I’m still a normal human being in her heart, and it doesn’t look right now. I can’t wait for you in the village, someone has to watch White II here.”

    “Well, then you have an hour to explain to our King White II that I didn’t really want to make soup with it.”

    As soon as Nemo finished speaking, the fake goat whizzed behind Oliver.

    “…I try my best.” Oliver smiled wryly and patted the “Fuller Goat” squeezed behind him.

    Hayden took a few steps forward knowingly, kicking up the dust. Nemo nodded and cut a gap in the space in front of him—

    On the other side of the crack is a very cozy cottage. The flowers are still lush, and it can be seen that they have been taken care of very carefully. The witch’s courtyard was filled with colorful colors, and its vitality was not reduced by half.

    Nimo nodded to his lover and walked happily towards the courtyard.

    The round orange. The cat is lying on the steps of the front door, licking his tail very seriously. Sensing the crack that opened and closed in front of it, it sneezed and purred hoarsely at the dark-haired guest in front of it.

    This time it didn’t escape.
