Chapter 239: Growing Up Reed (1)

(It’s so long.)

Fino thought so. Reed was sitting cross-legged, hugging his sides, his hind legs barely floating, his tail hanging down and wrapped around his ankles. This was obviously a typical sleeping posture.

"Well, it's about time to accept your fate, right?"

"Woo!"

Her tail twitched and curled to show her uneasiness.

"You didn't notice, did you? I've been wondering what you were going to do. Even though it happened, it's reached its limit. You should be an adult now, right?"

“Squeak…”

"Ah! How old is Mr. Reed?"

“He was literally a kid when we first met, but it’s been more than a year and a half since then.”

That’s enough time to be an adult.

"In any case, he is an adult. I have never seen an adult wind weasel. Are they small?"

"That's not the case. Reed's mother was about 3 meters tall, and an adult male might be 4 meters tall."

“…It’s really big.”

"If Reed is not a mutant, I can't be sure, but it is indeed hard to imagine. So, what kind of deception did you use?"

When Ye Kai tried to make eye contact and lowered his hand slightly, Reid turned his head away.

"It's really out of touch with the times..."

“It hurts so much!”

Tulio, who was standing next to him, shouted loudly at this moment.

“Look, if you don’t face it head on, you’re going to get hit, right?”

"That's impossible, that! You must have deliberately found a gap to shoot!"

Chamu had been practicing moving shooting enthusiastically since the night battle with Dain. Even when running, he could maintain a certain hit rate. When the object of training became Ye Kai, he would move to improve the hit rate of deviation shooting.

Like now, when he was with Tulio, he would let Tulio hold up the big shield as a target, but sometimes the bullet would still slip past and hit his body.

Of course, he used wooden ammunition and reduced its strength for training purposes. He reduced the amount of glue used to make it easier to break on impact.

So even if he got hit, it would only hurt, but it would still hurt. Cham would not intentionally aim at the head or other places that were not covered by muscles. But if there was a gap, he would aim and shoot. For Tulio, this was also a kind of training to resist arrows.

“So I said, you should defend or dodge well.”

"How can you dodge it? That thing is more than twice as fast as an arrow!"

"Didn't Ye Kai dodge?"

Indeed, he would dodge during training.

“That’s because he’s abnormal!”

“That’s really hurtful.”

"From our defender's perspective, it was incredible speed. I wonder how you can watch it move."

"Should we call it a day? If there are more bruises, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Yes, the training ammunition is almost used up."

“Oh, yeah. I’ll prepare some once this is over.”

For young people, this is just a temporary job.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm about to uncover Reed's secret."

“Oh, so training is not important anymore.”

"squeak……"

After losing his escape route, Reed let out a cry of resignation.

Already surrounded by four men, he had nowhere to escape.

“Squeak…squeak!”

"Even if you look at me so tenderly, I still feel troubled."

At this time, Reed adopted a fairly diverse range of self-defense methods.

"Don't worry. Ye Kai will definitely not hurt you."

"That's ambiguous, please stop for a moment."

"I believe in Fino too, so Reed, just be patient, right?"

"Yeah. This guy is very gentle to you too, right?" Tulio said sarcastically.

"Why do I feel like I'm being forced into a desperate situation?" Ye Kai lifted Reed up again and put his forehead close to his.

"Um?"

"Squeak!"

He explored the magic that Reed was performing. It was an incredible world out there.

First, he felt the constraints of the massive information connection lines that consumed a considerable portion of her computing domain.

Apart from this, he did not feel any other permanent magic, so he focused his attention on the information connection, that is, the link aspect.

Its structure is very familiar. Moreover, this is understandable, because its information connection is the same as Ye Kai's "warehouse". These information connection lines are efficiently organized to form a very strong bond.

He had to reach deeper. Although he couldn't reach the magical space that Reed knew, by reading the connected information, he roughly knew how they were connected.

"...You've gone too far. Such complex magic cannot be used."

“Do you understand?”

“Yeah. I just don’t know how to explain it.”

“I’ll give it a try.”

Based on her understanding of the world, Fino thought she was more knowledgeable than Ye Kai, so she volunteered. Sitting on the ground, Fino let Reed sit on her knees and then put their foreheads together.

“Wooooooah!”

"Ah, it still doesn't work?"

"What is this? I've never seen such a small particle before."

“Is there a name for this?”

“Fino doesn’t know. It should be something in the field of alchemy.”

What she was hinting at was a field of study called transmutation magic. This was close to the science that Ye Kai was familiar with, and he found the idea quite interesting. Although Fino had been patiently peering into Reed's interior, she had reached her limit of information and had to give up.

“What the hell? These all look the same.”

“Well, it might seem that way if you don’t understand.”

Although it does look like there are many similar things, there are also different kinds of things mixed together. Regarding this, Ye Kai explained: tangible things, matter, are composed of tiny units called "molecules". Of course, living organisms are also composed of such tiny units called "molecules".

What Reed is doing is storing his body in the "warehouse". But organisms, that is, biological tissues, cannot be stored in the "warehouse". However, he can store his body in it.

So how did he do it? He broke down the body to the molecular level and stored it. But he didn't just break it down and store it. He not only connected each molecule to itself, but also connected the molecules to each other to form the original structure.

There are also different kinds of molecules that make up living things. More than half are water molecules, but there are also many protein molecules and lipid molecules. There are other molecules, although there are fewer of them, but they are also present, and they are all connected together to form the original structure.

Why do such a complicated thing? Ye Kai could only speculate, but it seemed to be the only way.

It is an undeniable fact that biological tissue cannot be stored directly, and this method can be said to be a trick within a trick.

However, simply disintegrating and storing is also impossible, which means that using magic to disintegrate living things is unethical, as it violates ethics in magic that relies on mental activities such as imagination and cognition.

In order to break through this obstacle, Reed tried various methods and finally adopted the information connection storage method of retaining the prototype. In other words, she used this method to remedy and reach a mental compromise.

“No, I can’t follow. It’s totally confusing.”

"Hmm, Fino has barely understood to this extent."

"I can only roughly understand it. In simple terms, can Reed's situation be compared to making his body as thin as water in the air and then preserving it?"

This is close to the correct answer.

“To be honest, ‘like air’ might be a closer description, right? After all, even air is made up of molecules.”

“While I do not understand how it is possible to perceive invisible matter, I choose to believe that it is part of reality.”

“That’s almost right. It’s not the perception, but the level of understanding.”

The difference between the concrete and the abstract exists, but it doesn't matter.

On the contrary, for Ye Kai, it seemed a bit too far-fetched to be able to concretely imagine "visible" things like fire or lightning.

In short, Ye Kai believes that it is risky for Reed to decompose the body into molecules and store them. Although this method is a method of efficient link formation that Ye Kai is familiar with, it is actually oppressing the field of magic calculation.

It is obvious that no matter how thin the thread is, once it is collected in large quantities, it will become quite thick. The burden on the brain cannot be ignored.

“It still doesn’t work.”

He placed Reid on his knees and studied her body.

"Look, the magic stone has grown so big, it's unnatural. Not only is it a burden on the brain, we have to solve this problem as well."

"Tweet!"

Perhaps it was because of the complexity of the structure, or because of the importance of the organ, but it seemed that the magic stone was unwilling to be partially stored, and was allowed to grow freely.

Speaking of which, the brain is a similar organ, but why is the magic stone given priority? Perhaps it is because the magic power required to maintain the connection is quite large, and it is not enough to form the magic circuit required by the brain, so it needs to be supplemented by magic stones?

"Is it so important to you to keep you on my mind?"

"Chirp!"

"It's useless even if you assert that."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Anyway, would you consider restoring your original body?"

"Tweet!"

He shook his head.

"...What a difficult child."

"Can you think about him a little more? After all, Reed loves you so deeply."

"Although I don't want to be too soft-hearted, I have no choice. I'll listen to you this time, but just this once, don't be too willful."

“Tweet, tweet!”

Reed's body was filled with magic power. She injected magic power into all the link structures, attracting the things inside.
