Chapter 777: People and Tools

In addition to reporting the expedition experience to the instructor, Joan also wanted to sort out his expedition log and use it as a material to write a thesis.

He has not written a formal thesis yet, and he does not know much about the format and norms of thesis writing, so it is necessary to seek guidance from his supervisor.

While thinking, the door opened.

In the dimly lit room, there was a faint scent of powder.

A delicate face peeped out through the crack of the door.

When she made eye contact with Joan, this delicate and beautiful face immediately showed a happy smile.

Joan also forced a smile, her heart beating faster.

"Good morning, Dole."

"Good morning, Mr. Vader."

The Pleasure Golem smiled back.

The dim light in the room made Joan hesitate, and he didn't step over the threshold immediately.

"Sorry, did I come too early and disturb your rest?"

"We? Do you mean me and the master?"

Duo'er shook her head and smiled, and graciously helped the young mage dispel his doubts.

"The master is not in the laboratory, and I am alone in the room, if you have no objection that I am a 'person'."

"Of course I don't object! That, mentor..."

"The master went on a business trip to New Avalon the morning before yesterday, saying he was attending an academic conference."

Duo'er opened the door a little and invited Joan into the room.

Through the half-open door, Joan found that Duo'er was wearing only a thin pajamas.

Joan comes from a conservative southern village and attaches great importance to ethics.

In his eyes, Duo'er's status is equivalent to his mentor's lover, his half-mother.

Although Professor Moriarty does not agree with his conservative views, he only regards Duo Er as a female slave.

However, Joan would rather stick to her conservative views.

The tutor is not at home, if he enters the laboratory and spends time alone with Duoer, it will be really inconvenient for the lonely man and widow.

"Duo'er, when will the teacher come back?"

"That's not certain."

Duo'er frowned slightly, thinking for a while.

"After the meeting is over, the organizer will entertain the professors to go on vacation, skiing, soaking in hot springs, etc. These are all recreational activities that the host likes."

"You also know that our professor is a fun-loving man, and he must take the opportunity to have a good time. If you want me to say, it's too early to come back before next Monday."

"That's right, then I won't bother."

"It's nothing urgent anyway, it won't be too late to talk about it when the instructor comes back."

Qiao An nodded to Duo Er, put on her hat, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Mr. Vader, please stay!"

Duo'er chased into the corridor in her pajamas, and grabbed Joan's hand from behind.

"Mr. Vader, don't rush away, I still have something to say to you."

Joan stopped and turned around, looking at Duo'er in confusion.

"Is there something wrong with the tutor, please tell me?"

Duo'er pursed her lips slightly, her smile seemed a bit sly.

"That's okay, let's go into the room and talk."

Joan looked left and right.

The morning sun shines through the glass windows, illuminating the wide corridor.

Duo'er stood by the window, her silk pajamas were set off by the sun like a hazy pink mist.

It is really hard to believe that this pretty girl with bright eyes and bright teeth is actually a man-made golem.

This corridor leads directly to the "wind-moving elevator". Teachers and students who take the elevator upstairs can see the movement in the corridor with a casual glance.

Joan didn't want to quarrel with Doerla on such an occasion and cause criticism, so she had to bite the bullet and follow her into the door.

"Duo'er, why don't you draw the curtains and turn on the lights?"

The dim light in the experimental hall is easily reminiscent of an ambiguous atmosphere.

"My sight can penetrate the darkness, and the master is not at home, why bother to light a lamp?"

"As for the curtains... if you draw them open, people can see me in my pajamas through the window."

"Although I won't lose anything if I am looked at twice by others, but if it causes rumors or something, it will be bad."

Doer explained with a smile.

That's what she said, but she still obeyed Joan's will, raised her hands and clapped her hands, and awakened the immortal flame.

Crisp applause echoed in the hall, and the magic chandelier lit up.

Still, she didn't draw the curtains.

Joan took the coffee from Duo'er, thanked her and sat down on the sofa.

Duo'er sat opposite him, with her legs crossed at random, adjusting a lazy and comfortable sitting posture.

"Duo'er, what do you want from me?"

"It's just some trivial things, don't be nervous, just chat casually."

The more Duo'er downplayed it, the more Qiao An murmured in his heart, always feeling that the atmosphere was a bit bad.

"Mr. Vader, the master doesn't have any relatives or family members. You are his only student. To me, you are also considered half the master. Your status in my heart is second only to the master."

Duo'er's demeanor and words reveal sincerity from the heart.

Qiao An didn't know how to answer, so as not to appear hypocritical, so she simply kept silent and listened to him continue.

"I can tell, Mr. Vader, you are a shy boy, and you inevitably dislike my... well, dissolute manner. There is no way to do it, after all, from the day I was created by the master, I have been It was programmed into this character."

"I didn't mean to look down on you." Joan quickly explained to Duo'er, "Of course, it's a little unaccustomed, but it's far from annoying."

"As long as you don't hate me." Duo'er showed a relieved smile.

"If I say that I feel shy in front of men other than you and my master, so that I don't want to make contact with outsiders, you will probably suspect that I am being hypocritical."

Duo'er turned her head to look at the tightly stitched curtains, not even a ray of sunlight could penetrate.

Joan followed her gaze. I thought to myself, closing the doors and windows tightly when being alone, not wanting to see the light, this is really not like the living habits that a "bold and unrestrained woman" should have.

"Let's not talk about hypocrisy, let's talk about serious things."

Duo'er lifted her crossed legs onto the sofa, leaned her upper body back slightly, leaned against the soft sofa cushions, and crossed her hands on her abdomen.

"As a servant, my most important mission is to provide thoughtful and comfortable service to my master. Mr. Vader, as your master's student, you are also the object of my service. I must carefully consider your feelings, at least not always You walked into this laboratory with embarrassment."

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Duoer, what are you going to do?"

Joan couldn't help being curious, and wanted to know how she could help herself get rid of her embarrassment.

"In my opinion, Mr. Vader, you always think too much of others, worrying that you will take the liberty of visiting and disturb me and the master, isn't that the case?"

"indeed so."

Facing Duo'er's lively wine red eyes, Qiao An nodded in shame.

"You should position yourself as one of the owners of this laboratory, not a visitor, but I also know that it's useless to talk about it, and you will still feel reserved."

Joan nodded again.

"Don't be angry. Actually, I have secretly observed your activities here, and found that you are very comfortable when you are alone with the master, and there is no restraint in your speech and behavior."

"The topics I discussed with my tutor were mainly academic, so there's nothing to be bound about," Joan explained.

"However, if I'm here, you seem uncomfortable, maybe you feel that you are a little in the way?" Duo'er asked with a smile.

"It does feel a little bit like this." Joan couldn't help but feel his cheeks burn.

"Mr. Vader, please allow me to remind you that no matter how realistic I look, I am just a man-made golem after all, so you don't have to feel restrained in front of me, as long as you treat me as a 'tool'." Duo'er's smile is still gentle and charming, as if she doesn't feel that comparing herself to a "tool" is detrimental to her self-esteem.

"Sorry, I don't like the word 'tool'. In my opinion, any creature with intelligence and emotion, whether natural or man-made, should enjoy the same respect." Joan couldn't help protesting in a low voice.

"For respectful understanding, Mr. Vader, I am sorry that I cannot empathize with you."

Dol sighed.

"Thank you for respecting me, but please don't forget that I am just a created golem, and I have not been implanted with too strong self-esteem by my master, so sometimes, in your opinion, my words and deeds may not seem self-loving enough ,shameless."

Qiao An was speechless, and there was a trace of sadness in her heart...

"But having said that, the master still leaves me with enough free will. At least I can judge for myself what kind of person I like and what kind of person I hate. If I hate someone, I will tell the master directly, and the master will also Will not force me to please the other party."

Duo'er sticks out her tongue playfully and smiles shyly, the corners of her eyes and brows are full of temptation.

Qiao An could vaguely hear what she meant, and her ears couldn't help but feel hot.

He didn't know how to deal with this intoxicating temptation, so he simply said "goodbye" to Duo'er, and left the laboratory as if fleeing.
