Dozens of 'Frances' kept repeating these words, like a group of sophisticated machines.

"The other party's identity has been confirmed!" All of 'Franc' said at the same time.

The next second, they all knelt down on one knee before Hera, their heads bowed slightly, like devout believers.

Hera: ?_??

Hera scratched her head full of white hair, and after a long while, she slowly opened her mouth and asked, "What exactly are you?"

But they seemed frozen in place, showing no reaction whatsoever.

"Hey, what are you people?"

Hera stepped forward, patted one of Fran's heads, and repeated it again.

Suddenly, Hera sensed that familiar presence approaching her from afar.

Looking around, Hera finally realized what was happening and slowly turned to look.

A somewhat overweight man, wearing glasses and exuding an air of nobility, was seen riding an electric scooter toward them.

He was only a few hundred meters away, but whether it was because the electric car, which looked like it was an old, worn-out vehicle, was too dilapidated, or because the snow was too thick, it took him a full ten minutes to reach Hera.

Thoth coughed twice, got off the electric scooter, and bowed slightly to Hera.

"Long time no see... Boss."

Looking at Thoth, whom she hadn't seen for five years, Hera nodded slightly.

"Hmm, it has indeed been a long time. What's the situation with all of Fran?"

Hera pointed around to Fran, who was kneeling on the ground.

Toth straightened up, his eyes behind his glasses revealing pride and manic excitement.

"These...are all my great scientific research achievements!"
