*****In the forest on the 3rd floor underground of Huerna Labyrinth, deep inside the honeycomb in the Garden of Absolute Flowers****
At about 7:20 in the morning that day, Zhang Youji and Mo Ni entered the maze and the new honeycomb area. In the hexagonal passage, they followed the elite poisonous bee guards leading the way and came to a place with more than a hundred poisonous bees. The high walls guarded by the bee elite guards are covered with regular hexagonal spaces that resemble special tools for the guards to rest.
The poisonous bee elite guard who led Zhang Youji and Mo Ni quickly flew over in the wide space. He looked like a compatriot at the [captain level]. He spoke not with his mouth, but with his head. They approached each other, quickly touched each other with the tentacles on their heads, and negotiated with each other like telepathy.
The poisonous bee elite guard who led the way left the wide room as if it had completed its mission. On the contrary, her [captain-level] compatriot flew into the highest passage in the wide room. , left temporarily as if they were going to report or something, and the other poisonous bee elite guards in this wide room did not have any dangerous reactions, they just stared at Zhang Youji and Mo Ni with curious eyes.
By the way, there are no detours in this honeycomb. The internal structure is composed of two types of spaces: horizontal hexagons and vertical hexagons. The horizontal hexagonal spaces are passages, and when you need to turn, It consists of a vertical regular hexagonal room, connected to other horizontal regular hexagonal passages, and turns in this way. If you don't think about it from the perspective of a human who cannot fly, this kind of passage may be surprisingly good.
【···, in short, is this what you mean by asking us to wait here? They are all hexagonal structures. It was fine when it was new at first, but now I am tired of seeing them. In addition, there were not many near the entrance. However, as we go deeper, the buzzing and flying humanoid bees, There are more and more, and I am already a little dizzy. 】
[Evaluation, extremely complicated route, and the same scenery. Although it has the effect of making foreign enemies get lost, after looking at it for a long time, it is just a pile of spaces composed of horizontal and vertical regular hexagons. Although the overall unique appearance is similar to crystal, it has a certain It’s a plus point in terms of degree, but the too simple structure is indeed the biggest minus point. 】
[Are you a house appraiser somewhere? ! By the way, at least don't say such seemingly provocative words without any worries in someone else's home that hasn't been completely built yet! 】
[It’s really the same as always, making noises regardless of location, Summoner. 】
Looking at the numerous entrances to the passages around this wide room, as well as the hundreds of poisonous bee elite guards nearby that were constantly buzzing at high places, flying quickly in a way that would not hit each other. , Zhang Youji couldn't help but complained to Mo Ni, but when he heard what Mo Ni was saying, Zhang Youji panicked a little for fear of getting into trouble, and arrived on a big spider. Zhenlan here suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two of them, causing them to look at each other with somewhat surprised eyes.
【Well? Zhenlan, it’s rare to see you sitting on a spider. 】
[I am surprised that a proud and arrogant noble queen character can actually ride a spider-like monster. Reflect on it and it is necessary to revise and correct my understanding. 】
【oh? Let’s not talk about the summoner. I just heard it. It was just a mere self-discipline skill. He actually said that he wanted to die. I don’t mind, but I want to start a death battle right now? 】
【Wait! At least don't start fighting here again, right? ! And there should be no ill intentions from Moni this time, right? ! Did you mean no harm just now? ! 】
[Sorry, I'm really sorry for hitting someone's weakness. 】
【Hello? ! You must have made a mistake in how to apologize, right? ! Apologize to me! Give me a sincere apology! 】
When Zhenlan heard Zhang Youji and Mo Ni say what they wanted to say in a somewhat surprised and still mechanical tone respectively, Zhenlan, who was riding on the back of the big spider in front of the two people, immediately became confused because of Mo Ni. Ni's words, and quickly jumped in front of her, exuding a war atmosphere and asking questions, Zhang Youji couldn't help but immediately stepped in between them, and panicked to start a fight, although Mo Ni still used her expressionless face. , the mechanical tone, and the lack of any reflection in what he said made Zhang Youji shout with a headache.
However, watching the behavior of these two living treasures, Zhang Youji and Mo Ni, Zhenlan felt that she was getting involved in the conversation between these two people, and she began to calm down a little embarrassingly.
Then, under the watchful eyes of many poisonous bee elite guards, Zhenlan ignored the bickering between the two living treasures, forcibly interrupted the conversation between the two, and threw them together on the back of the big spider. Zhenlan asked that one to temporarily bear the responsibility. The big spider, who was responsible for the transportation, transported her and the two living treasures towards the place where the queen species of the Venomous Bee Empress was located.
*****In the forest on the 3rd floor underground of Huerna Labyrinth, the deepest part of the honeycomb in the Garden of Absolute Flowers, and the Exclusive Room of the Venomous Bee Queen****
Zhenlan took Zhang Youji and Moni, and rode a big spider belonging to Nasi's subordinates. They climbed from the wide room deep in the honeycomb to a regular hexagonal passage at the top, and continued walking for a few minutes. , these 3 people plus 1 animal came to a large, regular hexagonal room again.
However, the scene in this wide room is completely different from the one just filled with a large group of poisonous bee elite guards. The atmosphere and so on are completely different. Although the layout is the same, the obvious difference is that in this wide room On the high wall, there is an extra throne that looks like a throne.
There is also the scene of Nas and several of her relatives, and several flower demons under Zhenlan, talking with a small group of humanoid bees in this wide room. Although the atmosphere is also lively, it is more lively than before. The vast space that was filled with buzzing sounds before I woke up was much cleaner here.
The color of the clothing of the 23 humanoid bees in this wide room is different from the yellow worn by the previous elite guards of the large swarm of poisonous bees. 22 of them are wearing pink clothing, while the remaining 1 is wearing something different. The other humanoid bees are decorated in more luxurious, golden clothes, which are much brighter and more conspicuous than the clothes of other poisonous bee elite guards.
After Zhang Youji tried to check their general status, he found that the race names of 22 of them all had [Zerg] and [Queen Bee Elite Guard], while the race name of the remaining one was There are [Zerg] [Queen Bee] and [Queen Species].
And the appearance of the remaining one is closer to humans than the previous humanoid bees. Except for the bee's unique eyes and the antennae on its head, it is different from other humanoid bees. The rest is completely She has the body of an adult woman and her appearance is more beautiful than other humanoid bees.
[This was such a lively conversation that even Nas, who rarely talks, felt like she was talking non-stop. 】
[After all, it was the first time for those children to come outside the lost forest, and Nas was also one of the apex of the Zerg tribe. Since the two sides were not enemies, it was the first time for those children to face beings equal to them. , of course she would be so curious and keep asking questions. Alas, until just now, my queen was also pestered by those children and kept answering their questions. 】
【··········． 】
[Ah, well, I also understand this feeling deeply, because the spiders under Nas are similar to this curious look when they were born. Looking at this scene, I miss Nas and Fei a little bit. The three of them, Que and Deguna, had just arrived in this maze. 】
When he came to the wide room exclusive to the Queen of the Poisonous Bee Empress and watched the bees, spiders and flower demons talking to each other, it was like a lively party, Zhang Youji subconsciously expressed his feelings, and let Zhenlan showed a complicated expression mixed with fatigue and reluctantly expressed her thoughts. Zhang Youji, who had a deep understanding of this, ignored Mo Ni who was thinking about something and missed it. It was not long after he moved into this maze.
However, the thoughts of the three people sitting on the back of the big spider standing at the entrance of this wide road were quickly noticed and were talking to the [Venomous Bee Empress] here, and they brought her over with tired expressions on their faces. Nas was interrupted.
[Summon the Lord, are you tired, and feel a sense of nostalgia? 】
[Ah, um, Nas, thank you for your hard work. By the way, Zhenlan, the bee on Nas’ back must be the guest you brought back, right? 】
[Yes, I originally just wanted to bring back some specialties, but I didn’t expect that my queen’s old friend would actually bring back one of her queen’s species on a whim. If possible, I hope to let her She lives with the queen, so that we can take care of each other for a while, so that she, who always lives in the nest and never goes out, can experience a life outside. 】
[That’s it, hello, owner of this place, thank you for taking us in, because the world outside the hive is unknown. I wanted to make more preparations in the original hive before becoming independent, but my mother kicked me out early. I chose to build a nest. Things like the land and fighting against foreign enemies have been mastered, but the ethnic group has only developed half of what was planned. However, here, there is almost no need to worry about foreign enemies, and you can concentrate on developing the ethnic group. 】
[Hmm, although I roughly understand what happened, your way of speaking, although a bit subtle, is really coherent, unlike Nas, huh? Develop ethnic groups? Wait for me. 】
Looking at Nas, who was carrying the [Venomous Bee Empress] on her back, and slowly walked over to say hello, Zhang Youji responded sympathetically and asked the question at the same time, and asked Zhenlan who was sitting next to him , then answered what he wanted to know, and the [Venomous Bee Empress] carried on Nas's back also saw the opportunity and said hello with a very calm voice and interrupted the conversation with a smile, and couldn't help but Zhang Youji, who was talking about her feelings at first, suddenly noticed something on the way and changed the topic.
[So, you don’t plan to go back and stay here forever? Unlike what I heard, aren't you staying temporarily as a guest? Hey, Shinran, it feels like you brought back some kind of invasive species? 】
[Don’t look at me like that! This is the child's unauthorized behavior! 】
[Because I feel that the environment here is about the same as the safety level in my mother’s hive. In addition, sooner or later I have to leave my mother’s hive and rely on my own abilities to choose the place where the hive will be built in a strange place. There are a bunch of unknown dangers. It is better to just build a honeycomb here, which can directly form a symbiotic state and obtain a safe development environment. 】
[Ah~, I see, that’s what it means to take a shortcut in a sense, but then again, is it an illusion? It feels like you started building the honeycomb before asking if you could live here forever? ! Also, the development environment? ! How far do you plan to develop your ethnic group]
[Interruption, compared to the holder’s too late questioning, I have more important things to talk to you alone. Smile, please get off Nas’s back and go to the side with me to talk. 】
[Venomous Bee Empress], who was sitting on Nasi's back, looked at Zhang Yuji who complained first to herself and then to Zhenlan. After Zhenlan's somewhat embarrassing reply, she said in a calm tone and voice. The goal was mixed with a fait accompli, which made Zhang Youji notice something and shouted again while continuing to complain. However, before he finished shouting, Mo Ni, who had been silently thinking about something, suddenly Suddenly speaking out, interrupting Zhang Youji's words, using words to suggest or threaten [Venomous Bee Empress], and let's go to have a private conversation together.
As for the reactions of Na Si, Zhen Lan, and Zhang Youji who were watching Noila Mo go away [Venomous Bee Empress], one of them tilted his head and started to be in a daze, and the other one seemed to have escaped. The last one started to show obvious dissatisfaction and pretended to be stupid.
However, in this situation, it soon became clear what Mo Ni had done, and the Queen of the [Venomous Bee Empress] was interrupted as she flew towards Zhang Youji crying and hugged Zhang Youji tightly.
[This, this kind of numbness in the back, something wrong all over the body, but an unstoppable urge, and I can't help but cry for some reason, but it's not completely sad. What is this feeling that cannot be described in words? ! First time experiencing this kind of thing! Woohoo! 】
【Hello? ! Moni? ! What did you do to this poisonous bee queen? ! By the way, don’t rub your face against me! Don't rub the tentacles on your head against my head! 】
[Answer, just to get her to sign a contract with the holder, simple brainwashing, correction, and simple persuasion were carried out to tell the holder the process of coming to this world, and the thoughts and memories during that time. There are things like emotions. In the mode of super-speed thinking, she can experience and read them all in one breath. She is completely immersed in the whirlpool of emotional explosion, causing her to temporarily lose her ability to think correctly. 】
【Is it scary? ! Is this brainwashing? ! No, it’s just brainwashing! Didn’t you just say brainwashing yourself? ! At least it doesn’t have to go to this point, right? ! If she wants to live here, she just needs to negotiate good terms, right? ! Is there any need to force her to sign a contract like this? ! 】
[Skip it, please use the skills immediately, prepare the contract, write down my conditions, and ask the holder to sign the contract immediately. 】
[This is definitely deception in a sense, right? ! I always feel like I'm deceiving a child now? ! Also, if you have to sign it no matter what, at least let me sign it, right? ! Otherwise, your conscience will become increasingly uneasy! 】
When Zhang Youji resisted [Venomous Bee Empress] who suddenly clung to him and held him tight, and shouted his question in surprise to Mo Ni who was slowly walking over, the expression on Mo Ni's face was rare. From the expressionless state, he showed a slight smile for a moment, which was very scary in a sense, and answered Zhang Youji's question. When he finished listening, he instantly had a headache and shouted in protest, but he noticed that Mo After Ni's unyielding atmosphere and reply, Zhang Youji could only try to make a final resistance, and then used the [Contract Technique] that had not been used for a long time to make a superior contract, and quickly issued it with his Under the conditions, he signed a master-slave contract with this [Queen Species] who was, in a sense, half deceived by the [Venomous Bee Empress].
