Chapter 787: A Change in Routine

Chapter 787: A Change in Routine

The next day after Andassis the Seventh was forcefully dragged over, nothing had really changed. Doris woke me up and helped me with my morning ritual. But when it was time for breakfast, Redleaf happily skipped in and joined me for a meal, after which we left for the underground lab.

From today onwards, Redleaf was a member of our little research group. Her job was to monitor our work. Simply put, she was the new boss of this lab

As always, the lab chugged along like a well-oiled machine. Yet the moment she stepped in, she started complaining about how the lab was stuffy. How the forging temperatures were too high. And how the prototypes looked like a pile of scrap metal. Essentially, nothing was right

Upon learning that I had a room of my own, Redleaf promptly dragged me into it

Nana, lets watch a movie!

Looking into her golden pupils, I couldnt help but find myself at a loss for words, though not in the way one would expect.

Lady, arent you here to be our supervisor?! Are you sure nows the time for movies?

But Redleaf, arent you here for work?

Work? Redleaf was surprised for a moment, but she quickly remembered what I was referring to and said, Oh, that? That brat, Amori, can handle it for me. Enough stalling, lets watch some movies! A zombie one!

Brat? Hes at least fifty years old I get it now, Redleaf is basically the highest authority in this kingdom; even the king has to satisfy her whims. Well, in that case

I had Lingling pull out a zombie flick that I had stored up for a long time, and one that I hadnt watched either. Surprisingly, Redleaf wasnt repulsed by those zombies. In fact, she seemed to be enjoying the movie.

Humans really are masters at killing themselves. She commented as she watched the male lead fight for scraps with the survivors, causing some of his own teammates to perish in the process. But these human alchemists are quite accomplished in their arts. It's no small feat to turn a few hundred thousand people into zombies in just days. Even a devil invasion might not produce so many casualties.

There was no disputing that fact.

Actually the elves werent a monolithic race either. As far as I knew, Dark Elves were an offshoot of the Nature Elves. Their differing religions led to a schism and worsening relations. But unlike the humans, neither branch engaged in large-scale warfare, though Im sure it took considerable effort to achieve such a state.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Meister Belud, what is it you wish to ask me?

Lady Mo Na. so what are we watching today?

Huh?

Ten minutes later

The head! Hit the head! Thats the weak point!

For a mere zombie to have three stages of transformation, are all otherworldly zombies so powerful?

Those guns seem quite powerful as well, perhaps I can try replicating them

Even though this wasnt his first movie, Meister Belud was still as boisterous as before. To the point where Redleafs own enjoyment had reached rock bottom.

I say, thats enough out of you. If youre here to watch the movie, watch it! And stop being such a nuisance! Otherwise, scram!

Hah, all I did was talk. Not like a certain someone who wanted to throw a spell at the screen.

Huh? Would you care to repeat that, Stubby?

Once I invent a gun, you will be the first to taste it!

In what? A hundred years? Just go back to your digging, the esoteric arts of alchemy arent meant for the likes of you.

Just you watch, I will succeed!

In the end, no one watched the movie
