Quadruple split

"Haha, brother Gaheres, brother Gaheres, look, it seems very fun in there!"

The pretty little girl jumped up and down with joy. She pointed at the dark and deep forest not far away, shook the thin young man next to her vigorously, and said in a crisp voice, "How about taking someone on an adventure inside?" !”

"this……"

Gahres, who didn't have much energy in his eyes, glanced in the direction the girl was pointing, and shook his head hesitantly: "It seems a little dangerous. Ask Qiu Guai, let's go somewhere else."

"I'm not afraid of danger!"

The girl pouted and made a cute face. It was Wenqiu who disappeared with Gahres in Misha County.

"I'm too weak to protect you."

Gahres knelt down and rubbed Wenqiu's hair with a wry smile: "It's better not to go there."

"Brother Gaheres is bullying!"

Wenqiu stretched out his little hand and pinched Gaheres's cheek, and said angrily: "Obviously there was no danger along the way, and..."

"Sorry~"

Before the girl finished speaking, she was interrupted by a gentle voice. The two of them turned around to see a tall, handsome elf man standing apologetically in front of them.

"you are……"

Gahres pulled Wenqiu behind him, with a hint of wariness hidden in his gray eyes.

Of course, with his strength, even being on guard is of no use...

"Run Hiran."

Kang Lan bowed to the two of them and saluted, then pointed to the dense forest behind him: "There has been some instability there recently. Our people are searching inside, so you two had better not enter rashly."

"But people want to go in and take risks!"

Wenqiu grabbed the corner of Gaheres' clothes and muttered softly with his flat mouth.

The latter shrugged and made a helpless expression towards Kang Lan.

"No, kid, it's very dangerous inside."

Kang Lan half-knelt on the ground and said sternly to the cute girl in front of him: "So, if you insist on forcing your way in, I will..."

"What do you do?"

Wenqiu tilted his head, looking innocent.

"I can only buy you with the nectar I have collected!"

Kang Lan grinned, took out a small bottle of crystal pink granules from his luggage, opened the cork, grabbed Wenqiu's little hand and poured a small pile into her palm: "Do you want to inspect the goods first?"

“It smells so good!”

The girl exclaimed, then picked up a little and put it in her mouth. Then her eyes widened: "It's so sweet! It's delicious!"

"Hey, there's a whole bottle of honey here~"

Kang Lan gently shook the bottle in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "How about I bribe you not to take risks inside?"

"make a deal!"

Wenqiu nodded vigorously.

"make a deal!"

Kang Lan immediately stuffed a bottle of sophisticated consumables that could restore 100 mana points per second into Wenqiu's hand.

"yeah!"

"yeah!"

The two even gave a special high-five in tacit understanding.

Gahres, on the other hand, smiled awkwardly: "I'm so embarrassed..."

"Little things."

Kang Lan pinched Wenqiu's little face, stood up and said with a smile: "Although the Dark Forest cannot be entered now, the Jinhui River opposite is quite spectacular. You can go and have a look."

"Thanks."

Gahres smiled, then looked down at Wenqiu.

"Agreed! Let's go then, Brother Gaheres!"

Wen Qiu, who was successfully bribed, smiled very happily.

Then the two of them said goodbye to Kang Lan and walked to the south of the Jinhui River.

five minutes later

"Gahlez brother eats candy~"

Wenqiu obediently took Gaheres' hand and poured a small handful of nectar into the latter's palm.

Gaheres was stunned for a moment, then showed a less defeated smile: "Thank you..."

"Wow! Gahere... ah... I bit my tongue. Brother Lei, look, there is a boat!"

Wenqiu, who was running ahead, suddenly jumped up and down.

Gaheres hurriedly stepped forward, and sure enough he saw a large boat sailing on the majestic river not far away. It was reflected in the golden light of the setting sun along with the river water, which was really beautiful.

"It's so beautiful! Let's go take a boat ride too, Brother Lei!"

Wenqiu jumped up and down with a smile.

"Yes...it's so beautiful..."

The latter stared blankly at the distant water waves shining like holy light under the setting sun, smiling bitterly.

…

"They seem to be a very happy brother and sister..."

Jia Wen, who was standing next to the ship's side, looked at the two figures, one large and one small, on the other side from a distance, and murmured in a daze, as if he had remembered something.

However, just before her eyes softened, she suddenly received a message from a friend...

‘After handing Dora over to Silent Prayer, we immediately set off to Firemane City in the southern border of Griffin to wait for the next order. ’

[What a boss who likes to exploit his subordinates~]

Jia Wen smiled and simply replied "Received". When he looked back into the distance, he could no longer see the "brother and sister".

"looking at what?"

A woman wearing a long linen skirt appeared next to Gawen at some point and asked softly: "Is it dusk?"

"Including, but not entirely..."

Gawen shrugged, retracted his eyes that had become clear again, and sighed leisurely...

“No matter how beautiful things are, they are fleeting.”

…

Northwest Continent, Abandoned City Underhill

"No matter how glorious a dynasty is, it is nothing more than a passing cloud."

Standing in front of this magnificent ruins again, Mo Tan shook his head, then glanced at a certain tortoise next to him who was peeing in front of the ruins gate, held his forehead and said, "Give me a little..."

"Oh, come on, come on! I'm almost finished peeing!"

The bastard pulled his neck and responded, then suddenly shouted: "Brother!"

Mo Tan sat cross-legged on the ground weakly: "What's wrong?"

"I was moved by the scene and suddenly wanted to poop."

"Your sister Ye Ge left a lot of delicious food for you before she left, but I keep them all here."

"You are forcing me to eat shit!!"

"What are you talking about? I think your first meal was delicious..."

"Can we not mention this anymore?"

The bastard crawled back with a grin on his face, half of his head retracted into his shell, and said tremblingly: "I thought it was just ordinary food at the time. It would be relatively unpalatable if it was stuffed to death. But after brother, you took me to eat real rice once...I...I have something I don’t know whether to say or not."

Mo Tan glanced at it: "Is it unpleasant to hear?"

"It's pretty ugly."

"Then don't talk about it."

"But I really want to talk..."

"Want some extra food?"

"Silence is gold."

"..."

Mo Tan sighed, feeling that he had aged ten years these days. His hair would have turned gray if he were to play games. If nothing else, this bastard was really annoying.

And it’s not a matter of specific aspects that make people upset, but rather, it’s all aspects that make people upset.

Can you believe that it can actually take advantage of the convenience of being a bastard to peek under a girl's skirt, and then report it loudly to Mo Tan?

[Let’s go to the market tomorrow and buy some turtle soup...]

Mo Tan thought tiredly.

"Brother."

As a result, the bastard next to him started to stop talking again.

Mo Tan glanced at it and said helplessly: "What's wrong?"

"Do you miss Sister Ye Ge?"

The bastard showed a smile as mean as possible. It simply didn't look like an expression that a normal bastard could make.

"Why do you ask?"

Mo Tan was curious.

"I think you should like her."

The bastard smacked his lips, and then added: "I don't think anyone would dislike her."

"Really, I don't."

Mo Tan smiled, shrugged and said, "At least not now, and I hope there won't be in the future."

"Well, let me ask in another way."

"?"

"Are you greedy for her body?"

"You're out of dinner."

"Brother, I was wrong."

The bastard decisively admitted his cowardice, and then asked: "Brother, do you have any girls you like?"

Mo Tan was speechless, gritted his teeth and said, "Can you speak properly?"

“Appreciate the spirit, understand the spirit.”

"I don't know... Strictly speaking... maybe there is..."

Mo Tan smiled bitterly.

Then one person and one turtle fell into silence.

After a while...

"Brother."

The tortoise with its head in the shell called out silently and said in a dull voice: "I miss Sister Ye Ge."

Mo Tan rolled his eyes: "You and her are of different species, it's impossible."

"I don't mean that. I've only seen you two since I was born. You are like family members. I don't feel that way."

The bastard stuck out his head and gave Mo Tan a roll of his eyes.

"oh."

"Then what do you think Sister Yege is doing now?"

"Work hard to improve yourself, probably."

"right……"

"yes……"

…

Tianzhu Mountain, the seventh outer mountain

"I said little pigeon, didn't you say you should work hard to improve yourself?"

Lu Wei looked at the winged girl who was holding a basin and making noodles with a twisted look on his face, his expression was very unkind: "Why are you messing with these messy things again?"

"It's about combining work and rest."

Ji Xiaoge chuckled, rubbing the strange black substance in the basin and sticking out his tongue playfully: "I've been working hard these days! I haven't cooked a good meal for a long time!"

Lu Wei had a green face: "I think you haven't worked hard enough."

Cordoba, who looked like a dog: "I think you haven't worked hard enough."

Fimiguel, with a pale face: "I think you haven't worked hard enough."

Lujiang, whose face was as deep as dirt: "I think Sister Gege, you haven't worked hard enough."

"Aww, you can't bully people like this!"

Ji Xiaoge pretended to shed tears in a particularly aggrieved manner, and then...

Even though he had the talent of [self-produced and self-sold], he was blinded by the 'flour' on the back of his hand for 15 seconds.

‘If it were the other two of us, we would be blind, right? ’

‘Yes, yes. ’

Cordoba and Lujiang were communicating in friend messages.

"Hey! What do you two look like!"

Ji Xiaoge first glared at Cordoba and Lu Jiang fiercely, then turned to Lu Wei and smiled coquettishly: "Teacher, please tell me the reason why the rune body mass production plan failed~"

Without getting a clear rejection, Ji Xiaoge had been asking Lu Wei for this question for a long time.

"You kid is really..."

Lu Wei sighed, sat on the back of a kobold rune body lying on the ground in an OTZ posture behind him, and pointed at Cordoba: "Did you see this unlucky guy?"

"I'm not unlucky!!"

Cordoba roared.

‘Classmate Xiaoyu, please bear with me~’

"I saw it, I saw it!"

Ji Xiaoge nodded while sending a message to Cordoba.

"You all know that he is not an artificial soul that I made myself, but an existence similar to the two of you, Little Deer and Little Pigeon. I don't want to delve into this, and I have no interest in it."

Rubi said something meaningful, then scratched his back with the wrench in his hand, and continued: "In short, although I don't know what the essence of Cordoba is, he was still successfully mapped in the scene I made. Regarding the artificial soul that came out, to be honest, this is of great research value..."

"Old man, how dare you..."

Cordoba was furious.

"So I also researched it thoroughly the first time."

Lu Wei finished speaking calmly.

Cordoba: "Fuck..."

"Then I came to a conclusion."

Lu Wei took a deep breath and said rather sadly: "The artificial soul meets all the conditions in terms of hardware, but it cannot be made into a real life in any way, so if you want to mass-produce it, people like Cordoba can A rune body of low-level intelligence, unless..."

"Who are you talking about with low intelligence?"

Cordoba is angry again.

"Unless what?"*3

Ji Xiaoge, Lu Jiang, and Femiguel ignored him tacitly.

"Unless you extract the real soul and pour it into the rune body."

Lu Wei closed his eyes in pain, shook his head and said, "The moment I came to this conclusion, I knew that the mass production plan could be completely abandoned."

Chavin Empire, Royal Capital Trone, Duke of Garros' Residence, Basement

"Interesting, really interesting craftsmanship..."

Merlin, who looked respectable and clean, and was wearing an exquisite hand-woven robe, stared at the pile of 'wrecks' in front of him with burning eyes, and murmured enthusiastically: "I can give it a try, this is definitely interesting. Project, I will make a list later, which contains the 'materials' needed for subsequent experiments. Haha, it is so interesting. This kind of technology, let alone the earth, even if it is used to exhaust the entire galaxy, it is absolutely impossible and crazy. This is simply a challenge to human common sense. It is impossible to even learn from it, but it doesn't matter... I can do it... I understand the wonder of this world... and next, I just need to control this wonder, You can complete it... Of course, if you want to meet the requirements of that brat, you must prepare for me some experimental environments that mediocre people call 'inhumane', as well as sufficient living bodies, all kinds of living bodies, aha, Full of value! Ladder of Truth! This is so exciting!”

The dark elf girl standing nearby looked at him without saying a word. After being silent for a while, she asked coldly: "There will be someone who can help you get things done."

"Then tell them to hurry up!"

Merlin nodded, and then quickly walked to an experimental table that had just been set up a few days ago, playing with the drawings, reports, bottles and jars on it, and muttering something...

"A perfect petri dish. I didn't expect that there are so many little monsters in this world who have a soft spot for flesh and blood. I will feed you well."

"Another batch of people died... Okay, it doesn't matter. As long as the hosts die faster, the problem will be solved. This doesn't trouble me."

"It's not enough to just strengthen strength, speed, and mental strength. There's still room for blending... I know..."

"Split? Are they splitting? Oh my gosh, this is a miracle of creation, it needs more observation..."

"The No. 3 solution exploded a man. That's good. Maybe before improving the No. 4 solution, we can try that half-dragon..."

Merlin danced with excitement.

Ji Xiaodao's face became increasingly ugly.

"Lady Silent Prayer..."

Garros, who was standing behind Ji Xiaodao, coughed slightly and whispered: "Don't worry, the test subjects provided to Master Merlin are all death row prisoners, so..."

"I know, I'll leave it to you from now on."

The girl interrupted the other party coldly, turned and walked towards the stairs: "He is a madman..."

…

Violet Empire, Royal Capital Salamun, Tricolor Courtyard

"I admit that you are a madman, Tan Mo."

Xiu sighed, pushed the bottle of water-like 'potion' on the table back to the other party, and said lightly: "But I'm not."

Mo Tan, who was sitting across from me, raised his eyebrows and grinned: "Complimenting me will do you no good, Your Highness, and caring about those extra things will do you even less good."

"My father's life was not unnecessary."

Xiu didn't show any anger at all, and the tone when he said the above sentence was as if he was talking about everyday things.

"Yes, yes, I think your brother's life must be equally precious."

Mo Tan chuckled lightly, took back the pushed bottle of potion in front of him and stuffed it back into his bag. He looked at Xiu playfully: "You have the opportunity to be a person who can make yourself happier, my friend."

"Pleasure is a luxury to me, my friend."

Xiu also laughed and shook his head: "It may belong to anyone, but it will never be Xiu Blaise. From the moment I chose 'responsibility', it will never again."

"Ha, responsibility~"

Mo Tan clapped his hands and nodded: "Not bad, not bad. I haven't felt like vomiting so much in a long time."

"I don't expect you to understand me."

Xiu shrugged and made a funny face.

"No, I understand you very much."

Mo Tan shook his head and said seriously: "But this does not cover up the fact that the food I ate not long ago was trying to rebel."

"Haha, I saw you right."

Xiu laughed happily, even to tears: "I thought I would never meet a truly interesting person in my life."

"If what you mean by interesting is that you can't see through it, this kind of person is not uncommon."

Mo Tan yawned, waved his hand and said, "You, on the other hand, are a little more boring than I thought."

"I admire you."

"Well, it should be."

"Have you ever considered staying to assist me?"

"What's your price?"

"Under one person."

"Aren't you afraid that I will really agree?"

"Afraid, but I know you won't."

"Then you're still asking the question."

Mo Tan replied lazily, then stood up and stretched his body: "Then I'll see you later."

Xiu nodded slightly: "Thank you very much this time. If you need my help in the future, don't be polite."

"Ha, you can obviously handle it yourself."

Mo Tan grinned, raised his eyebrows and said, "In the final analysis, both me and that eighth wife were just chess pieces in the previous game. At most, they are chess pieces with the same interests as you, the chess player, right? "

"But I still took it upon myself to owe you a favor."

"Very well, my friend, Hugh Blaise."

Mo Tan nodded, stretched out and walked out while chuckling: "In that case, then you should pray hard, and pray that the day when I ask for favors from you will never come."

"I will."

"goodbye."

"goodbye."

After one hour

Noble Quarter, the highest floor of the Garden Spire

The girl who successfully combined [Eagle Eye] and [Mage's Eye] dispelled the spell and looked in the distance in the direction of someone swaggeringly hugging the blood seeker and leading the little priest away...

"Now, the real game has begun."
