Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

"Norns."

Klein's voice is very gloomy, not just to play the cold Hermann, but because he is really full of helplessness.

The skylark immediately raised its head from the rim of the large beer glass, "obediently" flew to the side of the ship again, and wiped a drop of wine from its mouth with its wings.

Because of Klein's cold eyes, Esther didn't dare to look at him.

Frank stared at Skylark with sharp eyes: "How is it! Does it taste okay? Is it poisonous?"

Esther looked at Klein's complicated gaze and jumped on the spot twice innocently: "The taste is relatively bland, the texture is a bit too thin, and not thick enough..."

Before Esther finished speaking, Frank couldn't help but pick up the cup and took a big sip himself.

Skylark's eyes were obviously dull: "I can't tell whether the drink is poisonous or not. I can eat anything."

The other two crew members who were squatting nearby and watching the excitement quickly took a few steps back, fearing that the skylark would react strangely.

Cattleya rubbed her forehead in pain. Seeing that Frank had no symptoms after drinking the fish blood wine, she immediately urged him to leave the deck with the "cultivation results" and stop being stuck here. Nina and the others should prepare to go to the sea to explore the Remains.

The main reason why Cattleya said this was just because she didn't want to continue looking at Frank, out of sight and out of mind.

Frank listened to Cattleya's words. The initial results of the experiment made him feel good. He quickly packed up his things and walked to the cabin.

After Klein met Nina, he saw her jumping directly into the sea with several other sailors. When he looked back, he found that Skylark, who was standing on the side of the ship before, had disappeared.

Klein sighed inwardly, guessing that Esther went directly to find that strange Frank.

I always feel that my fellow villager is becoming more and more casual, and she hangs out with Frank... I hope she won't provide Frank with too many random ideas, otherwise Cattleya will charge more money for ship repairs along the way, and Gehrman Sparrow won't be able to stand it. ah.

——

Frank didn't expect that the skylark would follow. It didn't seem to be afraid of people at all.

Esther flew down on the top of the fish tank, looked at the other wine fish below that had not been "drinking blood", and asked Frank doubtfully: "How did you do that?"

"This is my sequence ability, Sequence Six 'Biologist'. I can hybridize various creatures and make them produce wonderful changes! Think about it, after success, sailors will no longer have to worry about sailing. Worry about the drink, just a fish from the sea, it could be any delicious wine, champagne or Nebos!”

As soon as Frank expressed his thoughts, his eyes lit up as if they were on fire.

Esther flapped her wings twice in order to balance her body and rocked back and forth on the edge of the fish tank: "It sounds like an amazing ability. Well, the idea is also good."

"That's great! Norns, you can actually understand me!" Frank was even more excited, "Believe me, the type and taste of this kind of wine can be adjusted, and there is always a way to cultivate a wine that satisfies you! But in Before that, we have to conduct experiments to let them reproduce, and we must ensure that they can reproduce on their own, otherwise it will be meaningless without my ability..."

He is such an enthusiastic researcher, and I always feel that he is too trusting of others. This was also true when he was introduced before, and he directly told Klein the sequence. Skylark smacked her lips, but the taste of the red wine was okay, but she preferred to drink other things, such as hot cocoa.

When Esther was slandering, Frank's eyes turned around again and landed on the talking bird: "You just said you can eat anything, right? You don't care if it's poisonous or not?"

Esther had a bad premonition and her tail feathers almost exploded: "Yes, but my appetite is very small and I am also picky about food! I have a sense of taste!"

She doesn't want to be a guinea pig stuffed in a cage!

Although Frank seemed not a bad person, and his strange ideas aroused Esther's interest, Esther still suspected that he was trying to study the skylark.

Is there always such a weird person on the ship related to "Mysterious Queen"? Aaron and Thomas are both quite strange, but I remember that "Star Admiral" is a member of the secret organization. Why does "Queen of Mystery" appear on the "Future"?

Perhaps because of the fear in the skylark's eyes, Frank laughed and told the little bird:

"Don't worry! I'm not asking you to test it. I will taste it myself first. I always want to make sure that the experimental results are consistent with my imagination. I just want you to help me evaluate it. One more person - or a bird's comment , it’s always more accurate than tasting it alone.”

So it turns out that others are unwilling to help you...

"Then I don't have a problem, it's just that I can't taste much," Esther nodded and spread her wings, "As you can see, Frank, I'm just a lark."

What a useful excuse!

Although Esther was curious, she didn't want to waste her current parasitic body. Although the amount of things she could digest was much larger than it seemed, Esther didn't want to act too abnormal.

The "Queen of Mystery" is still on the ship. Esther knows that every move she and Klein make is under each other's eyes. Klein is on the ship to seek promotion. Esther does not intend to cause trouble that is difficult to solve.

There are various containers stacked in Frank's room, containing soil or seawater. They all look like petri dishes for hybridization or experiments.

Esther's eyes wandered around the room, and she found a relatively safe-looking shrub. Then she spread her wings and flew from the edge of the fish tank, squatting on a handful of relatively stable branches and leaves to observe those strange things more closely. .

Soon, a hundred thousand "what are these" questions and answers began in Frank's room. Frank's excitement made him pour beans and introduce in detail everything cultivated here, from fruits that are hybridized with drugs and have therapeutic effects, To the "beef wheat" that is still being cultivated but has not been successful yet.

Esther's inner complaints switched seamlessly between "admiration" and "shock". She felt like she was almost turning into a metronome swinging back and forth, but most of the time she was sighing for Frank's brilliant idea and wanted to Pry open his head to see how it grows.

If only the "Queen of Mystery" wasn't around and I could still steal this gentleman's ideas at will. Esther couldn't help but have such thoughts.

Of course Frank didn't know this. He was carrying a bunch of raisin-shaped fruits and showing them to his second "new friend". The mere fact that this skylark showed interest in his results was enough for Frank to judge. It's very trustworthy - even if it's just his opinion.

Frank plucked two dark red fruits from the very end and handed them to Skylark: "Try it too! I always thought the taste of this thing was a bit strange, but I never had the right adjustment. Because of its taste, other People are not willing to eat it for a long time. Obviously, just one pill can provide abundant energy, so that the person on duty does not have to sleep all day long..."

Esther only hesitated for a moment, then tentatively took the red fruit, which was no bigger than a peanut, in her mouth, raised her head and swallowed it.

The taste of birds is different from that of humans, but when Esther parasitized the skylark, she could restore the human taste by "analyzing" the food she ate. She once suspected that it was because of her parasitism that the skylark turned into something Extraordinary and extraordinary creatures.

After swallowing the small red fruit, the first thing she felt was a strong bitterness, like grinding espresso powder on the base of her tongue, which made Esther couldn't help but let out a retching sound.

After a few seconds, there was a faint warmth and sweetness. Yunque stuck out his tongue: "Would you like to try and cultivate it to be sweeter..."

"Sure enough, it still tastes too weird?"

"It's too bitter!" Skylark jumped back and forth twice, showing a bit of irritability. "Is this thing based on hybrid coffee beans? It's so bitter that even the bird can't stand it!"

"It's the extract of coffee beans! I didn't expect you to recognize it like this. I saw you right!" Frank looked even more excited. "But if the taste is changed, won't it affect the refreshing effect?"

It was difficult for Esther to explain the existence of caffeine, and she racked her brains to find examples from the side: "Of course not! The refreshing bitterness of coffee is not only due to the taste, but also to the extract you made, which also has similar ingredients in tea. , but the impact is not as severe as coffee.”

Frank nodded excitedly: "Then we can actually cultivate various flavors? That's right, just like changing the unpleasant potion into fruit, maybe grape flavor, strawberry flavor or even honey flavor? Do you have any recommendations?"

Skylark suddenly chuckled. When she heard Frank propose those flavors, Esther thought: "Maybe you can treat it as a game!"

"Game? How can cultivating crops have anything to do with games?" Frank rubbed his hands excitedly, and he also pulled a bitter red fruit and threw it into his mouth.

Esther became more and more excited as she talked, and the skylark jumped twice on the top of the bush: "You can breed them to have different flavors. This is also an interesting challenge, isn't it? Experimenting with different hybrid varieties while preserving the effect , and then mix these fruits together without distinguishing their tastes——"

Frank clapped his hands vigorously, and he had already caught up with this weird idea: "Then let the person who eats it rely on luck to decide what to eat! This is indeed a very good game!"

As for a few years later, the crew of the "Future" were keen on betting on eating multi-flavor beans, and they suffered from migraines as a side effect due to frequent late nights. At this time, Esther and Frank did not consider it at all.

Skylark raised his head vigorously: "Right? In fact, the storage of such fruits is more convenient than coffee. It does not need to be brewed and can be eaten raw! This is a very strange idea. Maybe you can also make it easy to carry. Similar products.”

"Oh? Do you have any other ideas? I am also cultivating plants that can produce milk. Come and take a look. This is the petri dish I prepared. I am still in the experimental stage of these parasitic plants. Further results are needed. More time..."
