Chapter 1163 Dinner in Rock Crack Castle

The latest website: Luo Penny listened carefully to everything Selena explained, not daring to miss a single letter, and waited until the other party had finished talking about the precautions, before she asked: "If these situations arise...what will happen? "

"Please rest assured that the initial spiritual influence will not establish a 'shackle' as stable as the spiritual seal. We already have many mature means to clean up the shallow pollution caused by the gods," Selina said in a convincing tone, " None of these methods have aftereffects, and Patty won't even be aware of what's happening to her."

Selena's tone was very sincere, but the Countess Luo Penny couldn't help frowning slightly, and said with some concern: "Is there really no sequelae?"

Selena looked at the worried mother, and suddenly laughed: "Of course not—we have dealt with this kind of power for hundreds of years, and shallow spiritual pollution is not as terrible as many people think , not to mention that Amorn is already a god who has broken away from the godhood, and most of his residual divine pollution has dissipated in the past three thousand years, and in our opinion, that is a quite safe 'dose'."

"...I decided to trust the judgment of professionals, Ms. Selena," the Countess Luo Penny was silent for a moment, and exhaled softly, "and this itself is a choice we made together."

Selena nodded slightly. She looked at Luo Penny and saw the sun shining on the other's side face, and the worried expression was gradually easing, which showed that her relief was more or less effective. After a short thought, she broke the silence: "When I first asked for your opinion, I actually didn't expect you to agree... Although this project is an opportunity for Patty, I know that you have always been very nervous about your daughter. "

"Contact the 'miracle' of the God of Nature to verify whether the final safety boundary of the barrier system is effective. Whether it succeeds or not, Patty will gain health... From a rational point of view, I have no reason to refuse," Luo Peini shook her head, "I'm really worried, but I never let my worry affect my rational judgment - if I didn't even have this judgment, our mother and daughter wouldn't be able to live to this day."

Speaking of this, the Viscountes glanced at Selena again, and nodded slightly: "And I am also very clear that you helped Patty win this opportunity out of good intentions-although this is a risky one Experiment, but for Patty, the benefits far outweigh the dangers, and you could have found other testers more easily, with lighter responsibilities and less risk, but you gave Patty the spot, and I am grateful."

"It's good if you think so," Selena breathed out, seeming to relax a little, "Actually... I've always been worried that you would have resistance to us. This resistance stems from our previous identities and our What you did to Patty..."

"I did have conflicts with you because of your identities, but in the matter of Patty, I have never actually had any dissatisfaction with you,

Before she could finish speaking, the Countess of Luo Penny suddenly interrupted her, "Anyway, when Patty was in the most pain, it was your help that made her survive those most difficult days. In her childhood, at least some parts were happy and bright, her 'sister Serena', the curmudgeon but very funny red-haired uncle, sister Wendy who sings very well... many people I even now Haven't been able to match the numbers yet, but I know your company means a lot to Patty. "

"Our company..." Selena laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "In fact, we were just doing an experiment at first. We took a fancy to Patty's weakened state of soul and body connection after a serious injury, and we took a fancy to her. After repeated tortures, we far surpassed the tenacity of our peers. We needed such an 'experiment' to test the neural connection technology, and even test the compatibility of the sandbox system... This was our purpose at the beginning. At that time None of us imagined how things would turn out.

"Thinking about it now, no matter how we looked at it at that time, we probably had nothing to do with 'conscience'. Even if most of us were friendly to Patty, it was mostly out of the mentality of observing an interesting experimental subject. I don't know. Know exactly when the changes happened... Maybe your daughter had a subtle influence on some of us, or maybe the events of the upper storytellers woke up those of us who were addicted to the salvation mania with reality Cultists...who knew?

"Eternal sleepers who are good at manipulating their minds actually find it difficult to figure out the changes in their minds."

Luo Peini listened carefully to every word said by the former dark archbishop, until the other party's voice fell, and she asked calmly: "Does Patty already know these things?"

"I told her all about it," Selina smiled. "Not long after the Imperial Computing Center was built... I told her the truth about the last Dream City and all of us."

"Obviously, she still chose to trust you after that, and was very happy to serve as the guide in the new dream city-she was even very proud of it," Luo Peini smiled, "I very much support her decision."

Selena was silent for a few seconds, then slowly nodded: "I think I know why Patty accepted the truth so smoothly... She has inherited your wisdom, your wisdom in 'judgment'."

Then she stood up and glanced at the huge sun that was sinking outside: "It's getting late... But I don't think you will go to inspect the factory as planned, right?"

"I want to observe Patty's situation. The inspection of the factory can be postponed until tomorrow-are you leaving?"

Selena hesitated for a moment, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Do you mind having one more 'ghost' having dinner with you and your daughter in the castle?"

"Of course I don't mind," Luo Penny said immediately, her tone sounded quite cheerful, "Patty will be very happy, this is the first time you stayed in the real world to have dinner with her. But I have a question... ...how are you going to eat?"

Selena's expression froze immediately, and it took a long time before she muttered as if she was talking to herself: "Ah, this is indeed... a problem."

...

Patty was very happy today, because sister Selena, who rarely saw her in the real world, visited her family's castle today, and because the other party stayed today and wanted to have dinner with her—this It has never happened in the past, and it is even more rare than the two wonders of "mother does not deal with official business after dark" and "Uncle Magnum is calm after going to the college to finish his class".

In the dining room, the bright brilliance of the magic spar lamp has been lit up, and the artificial light has dispelled the darkness that is gradually thickening outside the castle. The round dining table is covered with white tablecloths, and the meal is not luxurious but definitely sumptuous. Dinner was served on the table, including the most famous spice stew in the south, as well as desserts and pancakes from the Whitsunday Plains. Patty controlled the wheelchair briskly around the table with a nerve cord, and happily He smiled and said, "It's all my favorite food!"

"Patty, don't run around the table," Luo Penny immediately stopped her daughter's reckless behavior, "you will bump into people—and we have guests today."

"Oh," Patty immediately stopped at the dining table, and while controlling the wheelchair to get close to the table, she looked at Selena who was sitting next to her, "but actually I won't bump into you, right sister Selena? "

"Theoretically you won't hit, but if I think about it, it can also produce the same effect as 'hitting'," Selina laughed, "This is a very profound magic technique, do you want to learn it? "

Patty thought for a while, then shook her head vigorously: "...I still can't do it. If you do the questions before dinner, it will affect the aroma of the food."

The Countess Luo Penny on the side showed a somewhat helpless expression: "Patty, how many times have I told you that you should be called Aunt Selena—she is your elder..."

"No, I think she's fine with what she's called now," Selina said immediately, "for a 'ghost,' my age had stagnated hundreds of years ago—and besides, 'Don't talk to me. It is the basic consensus in the extraordinary field that the immortals discuss the issue of seniority, isn't it?"

Luo Penny opened her mouth, feeling speechless for a while, while Patty's attention quickly fell on the dining table. She looked at the empty table in front of Selena in surprise, and couldn't help asking: " Sister Selena, why...why is there no food in front of you?"

"I can't eat in the real world like you guys," Selina smiled and stroked Patty's hair, "You should know that although I look like I'm sitting here, in fact I'm just what you know A 'projection' produced."

"But this feels very strange..." Patty frowned immediately, "Could it be that the so-called having dinner means you sitting next to us and watching us eat?"

Selena thought for a while: "Then how about I create some illusions of food and pretend to eat with you?"

The corresponding imaginary picture immediately appeared in Patty's mind, and he quickly shook his head in the next second: "That's better than not, it feels even weirder..."

Countess Luo Penny watched the scene where her daughter communicated with Selena. She didn't speak, but a faint smile appeared on her face.

Although Patty has always been a very optimistic child, the Viscount must admit...it has been a long time since she has seen such a purely happy smile from her daughter. In the past, this ancient castle always seemed too empty, and the only person who could accompany Patty at dinner was his overly serious mother—the servants and maids could not accompany Patty like family members, this child Haven't had such a happy meal time in too many years.

Perhaps just because of Patty's smile at the moment, agreeing to this "experiment" is worthwhile.

The relaxed and happy time passed like this, and in this once cold, quiet, and even somewhat bleak old castle, the warm lights and relaxed chatting and laughing sounded again. Patty talked to her mother about the interesting things she experienced in the neural network, and Selena talked about the "little secrets" that some seemingly serious and old-fashioned node bachelors usually don't know, and even Even Roperney Grant, who was always unsmiling at home, talked about a few interesting things she heard in the government affairs hall-these things were not that interesting, but Patty still laughed very happily.

No signs of trance.

There is no inexplicable act of prayer.

There is no sudden listening, whispering to non-existent people, whispering the titles of gods.

Luo Penny smiled, watching the conversation between her daughter and Selena, watching every subtle expression change on Patty's face, and also paying attention to the mechanical clock hanging on the wall not far away.

Patty was stretching out her hand, carefully picking up a small plate of cakes on the dining table, her movements were slow and cautious, but always kept steady, Luo Penny's eyes fell on her daughter's arm, and she said thoughtfully : "Patty, your hands are steady this time."

"Huh?" Patty looked at his arm in surprise, and then moved a few fingers, "It seems to be... the little finger didn't twitch..."

At this moment, Selena's voice suddenly came from the side, and asked a little abruptly: "Patty, have you heard of the name Amon?"

Patty had just finished answering her mother's question. At this moment, she couldn't help being stunned, and subconsciously said, "Huh? Who is that?"

In the next second, there was a sudden click from the mechanical clock hanging on the wall not far away. Driven by the gears and springs, the hammer struck the built-in steel sheet, and the loud chiming sound echoed in the restaurant. .

Luo Peini's body had left her seat slightly, and she came to a standstill amidst the sound of the bell. She stared at Selina Geerfen on the opposite side, and after reacting for a while, she said: "She really doesn't know... This is a name that only professional theologians and historians will know, and she has no education in this area..."

Immediately afterwards, she heard Selina's voice directly in her mind: "Then, all the tests are over, the controllable anti-divinity barrier is indeed effective, and even direct contact in the form of 'miracle' cannot penetrate the non-directional The protection formed by the ideological trend - the first phase of practical verification of the non-directional ideological trend ends here. Your daughter has not been affected."

...

On the vast gray grassland shrouded in boundless mist and endless skylight, three figures sat on the ground, fighting fiercely in the game of cards.

"I don't believe this!" The lady in a graceful and complicated black court dress stared at the game in front of her. After seeing the cards in her hand, she suddenly showed a happy expression on her face. She looked up at Amoen for provocation Get up, "Can you kill me with seventeen cards? Can you kill me in seconds?! You can beat me with seventeen cards today..."

Before she finished speaking, Amoen sighed helplessly, and threw out the cards in order: "Mirmina, it's almost enough..."

"This..." Miermina's eyes widened instantly, and she watched in disbelief as she missed the victory that she thought was a sure thing. In the next second, her astonishment turned into anger, and she stared at A Mohn and Duarte, "There is a problem, there must be a problem - it has to be done again! Do it again..."

"It's the same again and again, I already regret bringing you to play cards," Amon said helplessly, "This kind of victory is simply more boring than sitting around doing nothing..."

"You said something like that at this time?" Mirmina immediately threw away the cards in her hand and said dissatisfiedly, "You framed me here just now!"

Amoen spread his hands: "I didn't set you up - it's your problem that you were caught by the administrator by maliciously exploiting the system loopholes, and it's none of my business."

Myrmina's anger was finally further ignited, she stood up abruptly, but before she could speak, a figure suddenly came out from the nearby mist, interrupting her movements.

"Are you still playing cards?" Naritel, who returned from the upper level of the Internet, looked at the situation in front of him in surprise, shook his head and said, "Okay, I just came to inform—Mr. Amoen, the ban is over Now, and Ms. Mirmina, you can all leave..."

"It's finally over," Amon breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed look on his face, he stood up with a smile, "Then we'll..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Mirmina yelling from the side: "No! It's not over yet—administrator, add another hour!"

"Is there something wrong with your brain?!" Amoen staggered suddenly, staring at the guy who was once called the "Goddess of Magic" dumbfounded, "The ban is finally over, and we can return to the normal network—why you Did you even ask for an extension?!"

"Whatever you say, I have to win at least once today," Mirmina glared at him, and said confidently, "And don't try to let the water go - I may not be good at cards, but I have very keen perception !"

Amorn: "..."

As a result, the game of the gods filled with gunpowder is still fighting fiercely today in a field that mortals cannot perceive...
