"She can be an excellent operator—the elite among the elite. Huang may be a little immature compared to her. But ACE's ability should be stronger than her—the ability at the executive level."

She concluded that the answer given was not unobjective and fair.

"Hmm..." Shirtel nodded. "Then according to what you mean, Kelsey... If the Fireproof Woman is in Terra, is she a talent who can become an elite operator?"

"It can only be said that she has the potential to become an elite operator. I have not seen her decisiveness and ingenuity in an emergency situation. After all, simply having a strong power cannot solve all problems." Kyle, who entered the job evaluation state Xie glanced lightly at Miss Steele. "Unless she can be as strong as you."

"My current assessment of her is that she is a strong logistics operator who can be unique in the field of combat, but perhaps more suitable for internal affairs, management, etc. She..." Kelsey hesitated when she said this.Seems to be trying to get over something that is too much for her to look back on. "She is very good at expressing her own opinions, and... when she is persuading others, the persuasive power of her words... is also quite strong."

"She is your good helper. Shirtel, people like you who are not... you specialize in physical destruction need a helper like her to assist you. If she can return to Terra with you, then She may be able to save you about 15.00% to [-]% of your energy in daily activities to deal with various emergencies."

It's a pity that she's just a person from the dream world... I admit that what she said makes sense.I'm also going to change myself according to what she said to make Stelter happy and empowered.But she is only a dream world person after all, even if I fail in the end, it is better than a guy like her who can't play from the beginning! ——Miss Kelsey, thinking with a sense of superiority in her heart.Of course, using the word superiority may not be very accurate, and having fun while suffering may be a more accurate modification.

then……

"I see." Miss Shirter nodded. "So, you have no negative opinion on her joining Rhodes Island."

"Of course I don't... What do you want to do?" The green-haired lynx suddenly realized.

"It's just a question to you, who is also in charge, about whether the new operator can join Rhodes Island." Miss Stelter shrugged. "After all, if you don't agree to accept her, then I can only use private employment to settle her in Qiecheng."

Miss Lynx opened her mouth.The tone of speech becomes difficult.

"Are you... planning to take her back to Terra?"—joy in bitterness, now there is no joy.

"Well, I do have such a plan—you said it just now, Kelsey. She is very dependent on me. Then, I must naturally be worthy of this dependence and expectation."

Miss Steele tilted her head.

"Of course, I still have to seek her personal opinion on this matter."

..............................

"I'm very happy, miss!"—After hearing Shirtel's inquiry, the Fireproof Girl successfully used an exclamation point in her tone for the first time.The plate in her hand nearly fell to the floor, but was caught firmly as it fell.

Whoever caught the plate, was unexpected - because it wasn't Stelter but Kelsey, and for some reason this guy who seemed to be sulking in the eyes of some red-haired thing was just taking the plate Then he walked away silently, without saying a word, and hid in the corner of his field of vision to be the air.

"Would you like to, that's great." - The red-haired thing obviously wouldn't pay attention to the lynx at this time.Just slightly relieved. "I never knew how to settle you after all the dust settled. But it should be possible to solve this problem now-however, traveling through the world requires some risks. As far as I know, the things I brought back from the other world .Although the efficacy will not change, the essence will be transcribed to conform to the physical laws of Terra-I have never used this power on a living person. But this time..."

The fingertips of the fire-proof girl pressed her lips—it’s hard to imagine that such a bold move could be made by the always quiet and docile fire-proof lady-the cheeks of this black-robed lady were slightly flushed, and her tone of voice , also seemed slightly agitated.

"I'm willing to risk it, miss." Her voice was light, but firm. "Following you is the meaning and value of my life. I was born to serve you, please let me always follow you."

Shirtel opened his mouth.

"Beforehand, this kind of behavior may not be successful. I want to bring something back to Terra. There is also a specific prerequisite that needs to be met."

"What do you want me to do?"

"That thing must belong to me completely." Shirtel said seriously: "I don't know if there will be other rules after converting the thing into a human being. But...fireproof girl, if you want to be with me Go back, you may need to wrong your mind."

She noticed that the way the fire prevention woman looked at her seemed a little weird.

And before she asked suspiciously——

"How many people can you take away?"

The red-haired thing tilted his head, thinking for a while.

"One's definitely fine. Two can do it. But three definitely can't—ah, Kelsey doesn't count. She's going the other way. Um... what's the point if you ask that Do you want to take something with you?"

"It is indeed a very important thing." She saw the fire-proof girl bow to her, and then leave.

"Please forgive me for a moment, miss. I want to... say a prayer."

It seems that frozen shoulder is attacking... Today's update is more difficult _(:з"∠)_

Chapter 190: Calling back to the place of origin

The royal family of Lothric is a race of gods, to be precise, they should be descendants of gods who inherited the blood of ancient heroes and the sun princess.And this makes them qualified to pass on the fire from generation to generation.At the same time, it also gave them faith.

Belief—the belief in the source of blood.

Ms. Stelter didn't know who the Fireproof Girl's faith was pointing to—the King of the Ancient Ones?Or is it the Sun Princess of the Gwen series?It was all possible, but she never asked.Because this is just a small problem of little value, and as a fastidious person, she has always respected the privacy of her partners around her.

But she is still a little curious sometimes - for example, at this time, now.

——Hmm, it's kind of weird.Although it is certain that she should want to bring back something more, but the objects she brings back are actually based on prayers rather than her own heart... Could it be that she intends to bring back the object of her belief?Ah... this is a bit of a headache.Which gods are alive now?

Witnessing the hurried footsteps of the fire-proof woman, Miss Stelter tilted her head slightly.

——Gwendolin is definitely alive, and then... well, is Yuer Shika considered a god?And other than that, that is the namelessness on the top of the ancient dragon.And... ah, yes, and Felianore of the Ring.

——I haven't met Feliannuoer, and other than that, Yuershika feels that she should have something to do with Priscilla... The tea made by the half-dragon girl is delicious.But it should belong to the Heath line rather than pure Gwen blood.As for the rest of the gods, I don't think they seem to be the objects of the Fireproof Girl's belief, let alone be brought to Terra by me.

——In this way, if the god served by the fire prevention woman is still in the solar system.Then basically only the sun princess Gwen Avril, or the goddess Felianoer in the ring city... It is unlikely that they died, after all, Solar and I chopped up Gwen's living corpse in the past.And his descendants... No matter how you think about it, it is unlikely that they will respect this kind of god who died at the hands of their ancestors, even if they must respect the sun according to tradition.

—Ah... Speaking of which.Gwyndolin should be Fei Liannuoer's younger brother?After all it was the youngest child and Philianoel was only the youngest daughter.The former takes precedence over the latter, um... I don't know if Felianoer knows that his brother will soon be tricked by the Pope?

The girl thought about whether she had been to the world of Dark Souls once.And before she left last time, she did make a lot of changes.

For example, those who would have died basically didn't die-the undead basically got the second life of the living when the flame was inherited.And those gods who would have died... Except for the fallen creatures of the abyss like Gwen and Manus, who are really hopeless, almost none of them can be saved as soon as they can.

——I remember that when I took the soul of life back then, I should have saved Clara.By the way, the curse of the red and white spider sisters was released so that they could return to the human form of a witch... I don't know how they are living now.After all, the witch family should also be considered a protoss.Thinking about it, there may be an opportunity to meet in the future.

She thought of it, and had a vague intuition—that is, if she had been in the dream last time, if she had arrived at Dolan Gureg of Soul II instead of Lothric of Soul III.Then what I encountered when I walked into the novice stronghold might not be pinching him to explain the setting of the three goddesses of fate and explaining the three old women.It is the three witch sisters who may be older, but more beautiful, and will make their journey quite magical.

Weird feeling, but not sure why that was in the back of her mind.

And the time was quietly worn away by her meaningless thinking.until--

——the aroma of barbecue touched the tip of her nose.

"I made some barbecue, do you want to taste it?"—Kelsi had already built a bonfire and cooked some food at some point.The fat and thin pieces of meat are mixed with slices of green vegetables, and then served with spices, cooking wine, and some unique cooking techniques, this exquisite handmade meat exudes a tempting fragrance under the thick juice.

She handed a skewer of steaming roast meat to Miss Steele.There is hope in the eyes, but there are still some signs of not letting go in the movements.

—Wow...the sun is rising from the west, ah no, from the ground!

——Does meeting new friends have such a big effect on improving your temper...or is it not just because of having new friends nearby?

Missing quickly.

But the response was just as quick.

"...Thank you." The corners of Miss Shirtle's mouth twitched, and she tried hard to outline a gentle smile——she took the skewer, and under Kelsey's slightly expectant eyes, gave the fresh Fragrant food delivered to the mouth.

chew.

The mouthfeel is smooth and tender with appropriate strength, and the complex aromas are intertwined, stimulating the taste buds on the tongue.The saltiness is right, the flavor is excellent - the above is an illusion.

Ah...of course it is an illusion.After all, a body of ashes is not a body of flesh and blood, with fire flowing in its veins, and its shell is more of a conceptual creation without rich neurons—undead is one of the reasons for the curse, that is, undead have no sense of taste, smell or even Even the sense of touch will gradually disappear with the passage of time, leaving only obsession and desire for fire.And Miss Steele, of course--

--Well……?

Some fragmentary memories suddenly emerged in my mind - the communication between myself and her, myself and them, myself and the Shrtels at the cellular level.And during that debate, I seemed to have persuaded some of my cells to admit that they were a member, a part, of Shirtel.

This memory... doesn't seem to make any sense?

However, the next moment, her eyes suddenly widened!A hint of inspiration appeared in her cognition, and she subconsciously promoted it!

The body...is changing!Mouth, throat, tongue, pharynx, nose and teeth—the structure of her ashes in this world is changing rapidly!

The ashes are still ashes, but the ashes show the structure of cells——the residue of the fire transforms into the membrane and nucleus of the cells, and the taste buds and senses are also formed immediately!

——This is... the muzzle and tongue I had when I was on Terra?

Unbelievable changes appeared in self-cognition, and the long-lost familiar perception immediately appeared in her mind-she knew, she knew that there were subtle differences in the bodies she had in every world.However, at this moment, his own mouth and tongue delivered the familiar Terra flavor to her!

——this taste... this taste...

— as unremarkable as on Terra!

"How... how?" Perhaps he was frightened by her series of exaggerated reactions.Miss Lynx's voice and movements were a little stiff and stuttering. "Is it a bit inconsistent..."

"It's delicious." Shirtel responded with a smile, but the hand was very fast, with just three or two strokes, he stuffed the bunch of skewers into his mouth and chewed and swallowed them meticulously—the ingredients were separated from the throat and fell into the mouth. The moment it entered the throat, it was completely burned by the flames flowing inside the ash shell, but the taste was completely ingested between the lips and teeth.

——Sure enough, there is no progress as it was more than four years ago.

——Although in the eyes of ordinary people, it should be considered delicious.But it is also the level of an ordinary hotel chef.About fifteen peaks away from Persephone's craftsmanship?

——Ah, I forgot, Jiaofeng is still in Karan, but I was a distinguished guest and a bad guest when I passed the snow mountain last time... Forget it, why bother about these things?Compared with such insignificant details as taste... there are two more important things that need to be dealt with immediately.

——The first thing is the change in me.And the second...

Miss Stelter raised her hand and held down Kelsey's movement of handing over the second string.

"Kelsey, I still remember the last time I tasted your taste." She stared at Miss Lynx in front of her, with obvious nostalgia in her eyes. "That was four years and seven months ago on the land of Terra, not long after I joined the Tower of Babel. There was a little mistake in W's operation that time, and it took me nearly half a month to get her Come out——when you came back, you settled me and her instead of Thearesia who was out, and prepared a nutritious meal for me."

"Stewed meat, fried lotus root clips, fried shrimp with egg—you scratched your hand while peeling the shrimp, it was the ring finger of your left hand, and you didn't realize you were hurt until I pointed it out."

"You..." Kelsey's voice trembled a little.She seemed to want to run away a little bit, but the slender fingers that were originally pressing on her palm grabbed her wrist again.

"You...do you remember?"

"Of course I remember." Miss Shirter stared at her seriously and said, "I remember every insignificant time I spent with you."—Sorry, I even remember things from my previous life, so naturally I won't fall behind recent memory.

"And what I remember more is that we... you and me, at the beginning, the relationship between you and me was not as rigid as it was later, as it was until the beginning."

"When I have experienced something interesting, I will want to share it with you. When I pass by your office, I will habitually come to see and try to help. And you at that time, Kelsey at that time. Among other things, he will at least pour me a cup of tea when I come over, and sometimes if he has spare time, he will prepare some snacks for me as a reward."

——I even know that sometimes, the Haagen-Dazs sent by you when Theresa was busy was actually made by you.At least in the early days of the war, this kind of thing happened three or five times... Ordinary people may not be able to taste it, but I can tell the difference.Nobody in all of Terra knows more about ice cream than I do.And that's one of the reasons I always pay extra attention to you.

——But, since when...

"But, since when..." Miss Shirter, the nostalgia in her eyes gradually faded. "The way you and I get along has become like this?"

"Did I do something wrong? Did I offend you somewhere? ... I used to think this way all the time, and I tried to change myself to be better. But every effort I made seemed to end up in the end Some... unsatisfactory endings. Sometimes I also think that you are the type who is used to putting on a cold face when you are familiar with people. But in the end, I found that the only one who got this kind of treatment seemed to be myself."

Kelsey opened her mouth, as if she was eager to say something.But before she could speak, she was stopped by Miss Shirtle raising her hand.

"I wanted to go back to how I was before, but I failed. After failing many times, I gave up. But now... Kelsey, I think we can still be friends."

There was determination in her words.However, there is not even a shred of hope.

"........."

Kelsey was silent for several seconds.

She seemed to want to cheer herself up several times, but in the end it just turned into powerlessness.From between the lips, there was only a faint whisper.

"If... if I'm like what you thought before. The closer you are, the more... that's it."

Miss Steele, however, just watched her quietly.

"We're all adults now. Kelsey, you and I, we're all adults."—and the biggest difference between adults and children is that adults realize that they are responsible for what they do.Because what you have done cannot be eliminated, even if you are unwilling to take responsibility, the price must be borne.

So the green-haired Miss Lynx closed her eyes, and contained the bitter liquid in her tear glands inside her eyelids.

"Yes, we are all adults... we can't act like children."

She took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, there was a smile that was as undistorted as possible from the corner of her mouth.

"We can still be friends. Stelter...we can be very good friends if you expect that."

She sniffed.

"I... I'm going to prepare another dinner."

"Well, it's hard work. I'll do it next time, but this time I'm a little busy... I'll be back in a while." Miss Stelter said softly, nodding to her.

And the next moment, the red-haired figure soared into the sky, and disappeared into the dark night sky with the sound of breaking through the sky.

Kelsey watched her go away.

It wasn't until she disappeared that the green-haired Miss Lynx turned around and first glanced at the fire-proof woman who had been hiding in the caravan for a long time.Then she looked at the bonfire that was about to go out due to lack of care... Finally, she lowered her head and looked at the kebab in her hand that was still warm.

She ate those roasts.

"There are too many spices, suck—" she moved her mouth and wiped her eyes, perhaps because of too much irritating spices, her tears rolled down.But it was quickly wiped away by her.

After the meat was consumed, she took a light breath, raised the iron fiber, and aimed the sharp part at her left eye.

If it penetrates directly into the brain, it is guaranteed to die cleanly.

but……

--What am I doing?Force her to choose me again?

She suddenly laughed silently, and the iron fiber fell to the ground, making a small sound.

"At least, we can still be friends," she said, to herself.

"At least, I have a chance to be friends again."
