Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 150 Emerald

"What does 'Hello' mean? If I remember correctly, this should be my office."

Smoothly closing the swing door behind him, Lin Yun frowned and looked at the goblin doll behind the desk: "Should you prove to me that you are not hostile to trespassing on someone else's territory?"

"Don't be impulsive, junior. You don't need to waste the little remaining magic power on this weak puppet. We have many similarities in interests, so we can sit down and have a good talk."

The expression on the face of the fairy doll is very vivid, combined with the slow tone and lazy expression, it gives people a subtle sense of relaxation: "Although it is a bit sudden to say this now, I came here with good intentions. "

"bona fide?"

Lin Yun did not let go of the heart gem in his hand because of the other party's words: "I think the premise of goodwill is to be open and honest with each other, not to hide your head and show your tail, hiding behind a doll."

He can be sure that the puppet in front of him is not the other party's body. Although he is talking to the puppet, there is someone else who is really communicating with him.

"I very much agree with Ni. But, before you continue to show me hostility, can we explore another possibility: You actually know me?"

The doll leaned lazily on the office chair: "We met before, young man. And I believe you have no reason to forget my identity."

When she said this, she deliberately prolonged the term "young man", obviously wanting to emphasize that this word is an important information for judging her identity.This undoubtedly reminded Lin Yun that he quickly locked on the target after a short thought. After all, in his memory, not many people would use such a title for himself.

Combined with the appearance characteristics of the doll in front of you and its behavior, the identity of the person hiding behind the doll is ready to be revealed:
"...your Excellency? Why are you here?"

The so-called "chief" is one of the gemstone scepters in the magic kingdom, the emerald scepter in charge of the research institute, and the title of emerald.

In the magical kingdom, there was an old saying, which can be translated into the language of Donghua Prefecture: It is better to be a research dog for the tenth generation than a one-day investigator.

This sentence is more transparent, and the meaning is: a magical girl would rather work as a hard worker in the research institute until she retires than work in the investigation institute for a day.

The source of the old saying is no longer testable. No one knows who the original author of this sentence is, and whether he has been secretly arrested by the director of the investigation institute who never looks happy.But it can be handed down in the end, and even spread, which is enough to show that this is the consensus of a considerable number of magical girls.

Among the five power organs in the magical kingdom, if one were to ask which one had the most power, most magical girls would hesitate between the Finance Court and the Investigation Court.But if you want to ask which one has the best salary and the most comfortable and safe work, everyone will choose the research institute.

You must know that when it comes to the leisure and paddling of work, there is still a power vacuum like the Magic Academy in the five courtyards.The magical girls working in the Magic Academy are all very leisurely. Every day, you can see girls in twos and threes holding teapots, thermos cups and desserts gathering together for a tea party.Those who didn't know thought this was the back garden of a noble lady somewhere, rather than an important authority of the country.

To be able to compete directly with such a magic academy, and to win in the end, to obtain the throne of "the most comfortable job", everything is related to the director of the academy—Emerald.

Emerald, the dean and chief researcher of the research institute, the chief consultant of the Wang Ting Research Institute, the chief designer of the garden project, the old nickname and code name are no longer testable.Like the dean of the investigation institute, who can be called a surviving antique, no one knows when the emerald was the emerald scepter.There is a magical girl behind the black fart of these two ages, put them together and call them "the two elders of yellow and green".

Unlike the golden-green cat's eyes, which have always been low-key and restrained, the image of emerald is much clearer in the magic kingdom, and its popularity is also much higher.Just because she likes to show her face very much, and often makes some shocking remarks that people can't catch up with.

The most famous example is that, it is said that decades ago, a certain birthday party of the queen was also the inauguration ceremony of the ruby ​​scepter-pigeon blood red.When the queen spent a lot of money to build an open-air banquet scene in the garden, and asked emerald how she felt on her birthday, emerald's answer was as follows:
"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty. If there is no throne and steps in the center of the open-air venue, the blocking of sight among the guests may make it difficult for them to see those who are too short."

On the night of the banquet that day, it is said that all the guests were placed in front of the small cakes personally selected by the queen, and there was an empty plate on the emerald seat.

In addition to this amazing speech, Emerald's other well-known deeds are her ideas promoted in the research institute.As the head of a hospital, one of her most frequent words is:

"Laziness is the ladder of research progress".

Not only does she ignore laziness, she doesn't punish the researchers for laziness, she even takes the lead in laziness herself. It is common for her to sleep around with pillows during office hours.

In her words, laziness is for better inspiration, and the desire to be lazy leads to more research and invention.

The irrefutable fact is that she did.

Under such high-intensity sleep and paddling, Emerald still maintains the country's No. 1 speed of invention and creation. Whether it is a magic-driven device or a complex magic formula, she is a No. [-] in related research fields. .[-].

It is precisely because of this that even though he is shrouded in layers of aura, he has countless academic achievements and honorary titles.But what Emerald likes to show off most is the chief of the research institute, so most people's honorific title for Emerald is not "Dean", but "Chief".

At this time, the puppet doll in front of Lin Yun obviously used quite superb and advanced magic drive technology.It mimics the appearance of a pure-blooded elf so much that it ignores the mechanical parts of its appearance and looks like a real elf.

Being able to use such a technique, and possessing a very powerful magical power, coupled with the title of "post-generation" that is always on the lips.In Lin Yun's cognition, there is only Emerald.

This answer was affirmed by the other party.

"Correct guess, but it's not that I want to appear here, but you need me to appear here, young man."

The goblin doll shook its head, and it was even a little funny to match its completely invisible neck shape: "Of course, as a supplier of materials and equipment, I always want to see how the products I provide are in good condition."

"Product?" Lin Yun asked back.

"Yes, product."

The doll said slowly: "The magic weapon you asked for from the investigation institute; the camouflage monitoring you put in here; even the treatment for that child named Chaoyan are all inventions of our research institute. Otherwise, Who can you count on? Can that old woman whose head is soaked in tea polyphenols into a paste help you make these things?"

"I hope you don't forget that you are talking to the inspector of the investigation institute."

Lin Yun reminded: "The dean may have some opinions on the way you address her."

"No one cares about the opinions of a person who can't even remember how many years she has lived, and spends her time plotting and kicking football. I sincerely hope that the normal life limit of mammals will be applied to her, so that she will not Because of the lack of love life all the year round, she has become an old hag with endocrine disorders, the younger generation."

The doll's flat tone revealed some disgust, and he half-closed his eyes and said, "Leave this ugly topic aside, how do you feel about the products provided by our research institute?"

"Magic armament still needs more usage data."

Lin Yun replied flatly, without any preference: "But the special monitoring system has indeed played some role, whether it is concealment or ease of use, it is very high."

"Hmm... can it be understood as 'satisfaction'?"

"Yes." Lin Yun remained calm.

"Well, then, let's talk frankly and honestly."

Holding the armrest of the chair, the doll like a plush ball straightened up with difficulty: "Do you need some value-added services?"

"……Value-added services?"

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"Literally."

The doll stretched out the pair of short claws, probably to express the body language of "supply": "I can provide more products, and they are all useful to you, do you want to know more?"

"Do you want to establish another level of trading relationship with me outside of the investigation institute?"

Lin Yun thought for a while, and directly pointed out the other party's intentions: "Why? And I don't think I can pay the corresponding price."

"Of course you can pay, there's only one thing I want."

The doll moved forward slightly, and its emerald green eyes looked a little dark: "The Ember servant 'Moss', the former queen of the Black Ember Dawn, the 'Origin of the Beast' left after her death, is with you, right?"

"The source of the beast?"

Lin Yun was taken aback by this unfamiliar term, but soon realized what the other party was talking about—it was the purple-black spar that Mousse used to cultivate remnant beasts, which was said to be able to mutate them.

Emerald was right, that spar was actually in his hands now.

Knowing that this thing is one of the culprits of man-made beasts, Delphinium has been using spells to seal it in an empty room in the secret base, and asked Moko to monitor and pay attention to the status of the spar.And since it fell into the hands of the magical girl, this spar has been very stable. If it weren't for the weak magic fluctuations in it, it would even make people think it was a pure dead thing.

"I can't trade this kind of thing, Your Excellency."

Lin Yun narrowed his eyes vigilantly: "Especially if you don't know what you will do with it."

The murders that Moss used this spar to create were horrific. I don't know how many people lost their lives because of her cruel "research".But now, the dean of the research institute is trying to trade this item with him, which makes him have some bad associations.

His sense of identity with the group of magical girls is not weak, and he also believes that most magical girls in this world have good hearts.But for the gemstone scepter, these existences that have stayed at the pinnacle of power for too long and have long created a gap with ordinary magical girls, he has to maintain a little vigilance.

If the opponent decisively handed over the spar just because the other party was backed by the kingdom and belonged to the camp of magical girls, he couldn't guarantee whether the spar would be used for some evil purposes.

"...It seems that you don't understand me, which makes me feel a little sad."

The doll clearly conveyed Emerald's words, but there was no "sadness" in the unwavering tone: "But it doesn't matter, it's you who got the source of the beast, and it's up to you to trade it or not." The power is only in your hands. Listen to what I can bring you first, maybe you will change your mind in this way."

"Please speak." Lin Yun relaxed slightly from the tense state.

"Well, then...where do I start, where is my memo?"

Following Lin Yun's affirmative attitude, the sound of rummaging through the doll's mouth came out, and after a while, Emerald's voice came out again: "Ah, by the way, the most important thing to you is probably Is this your status quo?"

"Even if I don't talk too much here, you should be able to feel that your heart gem is already on the verge of being completely broken."

"The magic power is constantly overflowing, and the truth is extremely unstable. Even at this distance, I can feel its overwhelm."

"Even if you release all your magic power now, how much combat power do you still have? Leaf level? Bud level? If you continue like this, your strength will only become weaker and weaker, until one day you drop to the bottom of the species level, right?"

Emerald's words can be said to be to the point.

The price of damage to the truth is bound to be high when the magic outfit is shattered.In addition to the fact that the heart gem will always fail, making Lin Yun unable to control his transformation, a downgrade in strength is also inevitable.

If it is said that before fighting Moss, Delphinium's full strength in a normal state was probably at the Lei level; now, even if she uses her full strength, she can no longer touch the magic power of the Lei level.

Coupled with the fact that the magic costume has three or two forms, it can be said that only one-third of the complete magic costume "Weaving Life" is left, like a leaky wall, so it is naturally difficult to play it again. its intended function.Today's delphinium would be too difficult to single out a pupa-level remnant beast.

"Because of the spillover of magic power, the boundary between your real body and your body is gradually being broken, and the magic power of being a magical girl begins to pour into your current body in reverse. You should have noticed this. Now you, you can change your body in different ways. In the transformed state, use some of the power of the magical girl."

"...Yes." Lin Yun nodded slightly.

"That's right, maybe in the short term, this state is no problem, and it can even allow you to use power more conveniently; but in the long run, it's just harmful and useless, the male body is incompatible and cannot use the magical power of a magical girl , it ends up shortening the lifespan of your body."

The doll patted the table twice, raised its head, with a positive look on its funny face:
"If you get to that point, let alone using power, even your life will be depleted."
