Quadruple split

Game time AM07:01

Southern part of the Innocence Continent, Crystal Town, sixth floor of the Mages Guild, Private Laboratory Zero

A hazy white light flashed, and a slender figure appeared out of thin air between two rows of bookshelves, sinking into a pile of soft cushions.

"Huha, the recent biological clock seems a bit too normal~"

The girl with long orange hair yawned and stretched, then raised her little hand to straighten her glasses that were tilted to the side of her chin. She huddled up on the mat in a very feline manner and muttered in a low voice: "Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

forty minutes later

"J!"

The girl who had unknowingly buried herself in the mat stretched her body, stood up lightly with the help of two gusts of warm wind, casually grabbed the robe next to her that was hung on the earth element pile and draped it over her shoulders. Slowly walking out between the two rows of bookshelves, she complained with a somewhat unhappy expression: "So, it's been almost a month, and it's time to crawl back. It should be said that she deserves to be Ana's Are you good friends, each one is more unreliable than the other!"

An outsider, a high-level mage of all series, a trainee astrologer, the proposer of the "Conjecture about the Interaction of Same Elements", an eternal friend of the Fire Claw Clan, a rare genius beauty in the wizarding world for a thousand years, the 21st in the ranking of combat effectiveness in the Innocence Realm, Futaba, ranked 77th in the overall strength rankings, covered his forehead and paced in this extremely spacious laboratory.

The soft and melodious sound of wind chimes lingered in the air, crystal balls of different colors wandered near the ceiling, flashing at a comfortable frequency, and incense that helped to concentrate was burning quietly in the corner. The lavender thin smoke weaves groups of patterns in the mid-air as if they are alive. They are star maps that can only be observed from the northern part of the Sinless Continent. They sway in front of the false starry sky that appears from time to time in the mid-air. , and quietly dissipated behind that layer of magic projection, and would not appear again until a certain moment hours or dozens of days later.

This is the highest-standard laboratory among all the mage guilds in the southern part of the continent, and for an astrologer, its value is multiplied many times more.

Laboratory Zero of the Mage Guild of Crystal Town, also known as ‘Diana A. Azizolti’s Astrology Laboratory’, is a holy place that can make all the mages who painstakingly study the school of astrology jealous to the point of bursting with envy.

In the previous twenty-three days, this 'holy place' that no one else could enter even with money had almost completely become Futaba's private property because the owner was away.

For an apprentice new to astrology, this is a frightening waste.

If the matter is publicized, I am afraid that 80% of the astrologers in the entire Innocence Continent will think so, and the other 10% will seriously go off topic and think about whether this little girl is the illegitimate daughter of Master Diana.

But this is not scientific! Because Master Diana A. Azizolti is not yet thirty years old! No matter what, it is impossible to have such an illegitimate daughter!

However, it is also possible that she is the illegitimate daughter of Grand Magister Ana Ta Rasha. After all, many people know that Grand Magister Tal Rasha and Master Achizolti have a very close personal relationship. Their relationship is almost as good as that of biological sisters. Still want to kiss.

I have to say that this level of speculation is quite reasonable, because although Futaba is not Tal Rasha's illegitimate daughter, the intimacy between the two is not much different from that of her own family.

"What should I do today~"

Futaba lazily sat down in front of the experimental table, casually opened the crystal ball, stargazer, and calculation paper in front of him, holding his chin and thinking boredly.

Her look at this moment is similar to when she lived in Tal Rasha's laboratory in the Violet Empire, which is a three-piece set of suspenders, shorts and stockings, and other equipment is scattered in the laboratory. In various places, but because the owner here is also a bit slovenly, it does not cause too much sense of disobedience. The [Critical Mass] robe of epic quality, Shuangye, is always draped on the shoulders like a thin quilt. Its purpose is just to make it easier for her to doze off at any time. In short, it is to be as lazy as she wants.

"It's better to play divination"

After a brief moment of daze, Futaba took out a set of extremely finely crafted rectangular playing cards, and created a small-scale elemental storm between his fingers, directly exploding the set of cards made of unknown materials. Up to heaven.

[Tell me what Ana Ta Rasha is doing at this moment. 】

Futaba muttered something silently in her heart, and then waved her hand. The three cards that had not had time to fall slowly floated in front of her driven by an invisible force, while dozens of other cards were lifted by a black flashing in the air. The magic circle sucked it in and stacked it into a pile again.

"Shuanghua, Knight and White Dove?"

Futaba ruffled his hair, and said with a twitching smile: "What the hell? Will she set off on horseback this month to maintain world peace? Or is she currently bombarding the knights of the Whispering Sect in Sumir? What does this special meow have to do with white pigeons? Hmm. It seems reasonable to bombard them indiscriminately for the sake of peace. No, it’s impossible. Ana should be at the Mages Guild in Salamoon at the moment."

"The combination of these three cards has no meaning. Divining what you know will never give you the correct answer."

A soft and pleasant voice sounded in Futaba's ears. The latter quickly looked back and found that a woman had appeared behind him, a very beautiful woman.

She has long, messy flaxen hair, fair skin, wears a long silver robe, has a pretty and cute baby face, wears rather heavy-looking round-rimmed glasses, and has a pair of aqua blue eyes. He was carefully studying the three cards in Futaba's hand.

"Diana?!"

Futaba's eyes widened in surprise, and then he suddenly leaned back on the chair, raised his little face and pouted: "Why are you coming back now? You clearly agreed to be my temporary mentor and recommender. , but he ran north before he taught me for half a month. Isn’t it a bit irresponsible!”

The owner of Laboratory Zero smiled apologetically and reached out to touch Futaba's hair: "There was a little accident on the way."

Her name is Diana A. Azizolti. She is a dual-study magister of the arcane school and the water element school. She is also one of the only three astrologers in the contemporary era. She just turned 29 two months ago. Years old, heir to the "Stars" line of the Achizolti family of mage families, he met Ana Ta Rasha ten years ago and became close friends. Two months ago, he was invited by the latter to go to the Salamun Mage Guild. He also promised Ta Rasha to teach Shuangye astrology as a temporary mentor and brought the latter back to Mercury Town.

By the way, his cousin’s name is Kenneth A. Azizolti. He is 40 years old this year. He is a big figure resident in the General Assembly of the Mages Guild in the City of Miracles. He became one of the twelve members of the Parliament of Truth three years ago. The ninth in attendance, known as the "Sage of the Fog Moon", is the heir to the "Crescent Moon" lineage of the Achizolti family, and can be called a genius among geniuses.

It is precisely because of such a relationship, and Futaba herself is very interested in astrology, that Ta Rasha hopes that her good friend Diana can temporarily teach her for a period of time and serve as a recommender when the time is right. Send the latter to the City of Miracles for further studies.

And Futaba did not disappoint Ta Rasha. It only took her less than thirty minutes to fool the innocent Diana into a cripple, and easily brought this academically minded lady to full favorability. Deeply loved by Diana.

As for the specific method, it is not complicated at all. Without it, it is just smart.

Unlike Ana Ta Rasha, who dislikes socializing but is not unsociable, Diana is a strange and talented woman who can hardly hold anything unrelated to academic knowledge in her head. She spends most of her life using In terms of studying knowledge, she didn’t even have a friend with whom she could chat normally before she met Ana. Laboratory Zero in Crystal Town and the large library in the City of Miracles were her home, and those mysterious and obscure magic formulas and theorems were her home. Her partner, Diana, devoted almost everything to magic and the starry sky. Her only hobby. Or rather, her only hobby in the past was to understand the endless mysteries of magic and constantly challenge those never-ending obscure topics.

As for the rest, Diana didn't care and didn't want to care.

Until ten years ago, by chance, Ana Ta Rasha solved a problem that had troubled Diana for half a year, and applied the derived conclusions to two cases that Diana had seen. This incident completely subverted the latter's world view. After that, Diana, who felt that Tal Rasha might have some special skills, pestered him for half a year, but in the end he got it. Mainly because You are too boring, which is why you have a rigid thinking and a lack of broad vision."

Later, in order to make her horizons as broad as Ana's, Diana ran to the former's side every two days. Every time she went back and forth, she was led astray by Ana.

However, despite being a "bad guy", Diana's character has not changed much, and her academic enthusiasm remains the same as before, except...

"Accident?"

Futaba rolled her eyes and couldn't help but vomited: "Teacher Diana, what kind of accident could you encounter? Could it be that your persistence in finding a boyfriend moved God and met you on the way to see the stars? Mr. Right?"

Obviously, the girl was just joking, the kind of joke that came out of her mouth without thinking, and even she didn't take it seriously.

but

"Um."

However, after being stunned for two seconds, Diana revealed a smile filled with happiness. Under Futaba's stunned gaze, she nodded with a reddish face and said, "I did meet a very interesting person."

"WTF?!"

Futaba almost fell off the chair in shock. You must know that she knew very well that her temporary mentor had no relationship with the opposite sex. Although she was quite beautiful, her almost fanatical researcher heart was enough to make her The vast majority of people of the opposite sex (and even the same sex) with limited knowledge are daunted by this, and in the field in which Diana is good at, at least 99% of the people in the entire continent can be collectively called "limited knowledge". In addition, the age gap cannot There are basically only a few people left who have the elements of being too old, having good looks and substance, being male, and still being alive.

Although Futaba is confident that she can win over Diana even though she is a man, this is also based on her understanding of the latter and her existing knowledge base, so she really can't imagine who he is. It could make Diana look so happy just talking about it.

[It can’t be that she had a twilight love affair with some great sage who was so old that he was half buried in the earth, right? 】

Futaba, whose eyes were twitching, had such a thought flashing through his mind subconsciously.

Diana, on the other hand, didn't notice Futaba's shock at all. She just lowered her eyes with red cheeks and stared blankly. Sometimes she raised the corners of her mouth sweetly, and sometimes she muttered something in a low voice, as if she was a girl in love. It's still very deep, almost completely hopeless.

"Well, I feel like it's spring just being next to you, dear Diana."

Futaba sighed. She knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless, because the beautiful girl with glasses in front of her, who was famous for her brain in the mage world, had obviously completely lost her brain, so she gave up what she had prepared before. Those who talked about "knowing people but not knowing their hearts" made insinuations and said: "Now, tell me, what kind of person is your mistress? Why did you ignore my mentor Diana? Well, bewitched. This kind of virtue?"

Futaba, who never minds speculating on others with the utmost malice, has already preconceived the idea that the other person is not a good person.

Diana's eyes were blurred: "He is a very gentle person."

[How could God, the almighty Asasi, appear in a place like this? ! 】

Futaba rolled her eyes, took Diana's hand and led her to a chair to sit down, and asked softly: "What else?"

"He is also very talented, very humorous, and very good at taking care of others."

Diana murmured in her sweet voice, tilted her head and smiled happily: "Except for Ana, this is the first time I have been so amused. He always knows what I want. .”

[Well, it sounds like I met a scumbag.]

Futaba sighed inwardly, and a reflection flashed on the lenses: "So, Diana, have you ever talked to him about any more in-depth topics? For example, the eighteen uses of compressing negative energy, and anchoring in alien planes. Theory, rich element sets in extreme environments, etc.?”

"Well, yes, you know I always talk about those things subconsciously."

Diana pursed her lips in embarrassment, and then smiled sweetly: "But he is very patient and never minds me telling him these things. Sometimes he also puts forward many wonderful ideas. Even Ana and I It was an idea that I had never thought of. Although it was not professional, it inspired me a lot. He said he was very happy to help me."

[This is a bit interesting. Isn’t it?]

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through the girl's mind, but she did not stop. She just conjured an earth element stone mound out of thin air and sat opposite Diana with a smile.

"Now, dear Diana, maybe that person is really suitable for you, so you might as well tell me a little more about that person~"
