Of course, for nobles, this was a trivial matter.
It's good that it won't sprout!
If only he could grow a flower of hope that would sprout, wouldn't that better demonstrate his noble status?
This was not the only nobleman with this idea; so, at some point, the nobles of the capital began to conduct research in secret.
Unsure where the problem lies? No problem, just try them one by one!
The soil we use isn't good enough? Then we'll transport soil from Hope City, thousands of miles away!
The water for irrigation is the problem? No problem at all! Just find a water mage, and everything will be solved!
In any case, it doesn't take much effort for powerful nobles in the capital to hire magicians to do these things.
Unfortunately, even with the magician's great help, and even with the climate completely mimicking Hope City, the Hope Flower still failed to sprout.
"I heard that... His Majesty the Emperor consulted many magicians and tried almost every method, but he still couldn't make the Flower of Hope sprout!" Sisi suddenly leaned closer to Xu Ling and whispered.
Seeing Sisi's winking and her gaze intentionally or unintentionally drifting to her right side behind her.
At first, Xu Ling didn't realize anything, but instead reflexively looked back in the direction of Qianqian's gaze.
Just as she was about to turn her head completely, Xu Ling's sluggish brain suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and she suddenly remembered that someone was a prince.
So, is Sisi talking about Pedro's father?
Realizing this, Xu Ling stopped turning her head and then turned back stiffly.
Sisi blinked her clear eyes, showing no sign of guilt about speaking ill of others behind their backs or badmouthing the most powerful person in the country.
“Pedro is here!” Xu Ling reminded him in a low voice.
"So what!" Sisi said dismissively, her voice not softening at all. "This is a fact known throughout the entire capital."
"Hey!" Sure enough, Pedro heard their conversation. Unlike April, who went over to them, Pedro deliberately made a sound to attract their attention.
Seeing that Xu Ling and Qianqian both turned to look at him, he continued, "I didn't hear you saying it behind my back, but now you're saying it to my face, what do you want?!"
Pedro glared angrily at Sissi.
Although this matter was already common knowledge in the capital, and even his father would sometimes joke about his own arrogance back then, it didn't mean that he would remain indifferent to it.
As a son, no matter what, he had to uphold his father's dignity!
Thinking of this, Pedro's eyes, which were staring at Sissi, seemed to widen even more, becoming as big as copper bells.
Her handsome image vanished, and she looked like a bull seeing a red cloth. Perhaps sensing Pedro's anger, Sisi ultimately said nothing more, only pursed her lips, replied "I know!" and immediately turned her head away.
She pointed to the rosé flowers swaying in the wind by the roadside and said to Xu Ling, "Lingling, when we get to the city later, do you want to buy some?"
Although there were free hope flowers everywhere along the roadside, Sisi didn't dare to ask Assistant Professor Alger to stop and let them pick them.
As someone who had only overheard the gossip, Xu Ling couldn't be as assertive as Xixi when faced with the anger of the person involved. She gave Pedro an awkward smile before turning away with a slightly guilty look.
Just as she was about to reply to Sisi, Alger, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "We've arrived."
Where are we?
Xu Ling couldn't help but peek outside. The scenery around her was no different from before. Looking left and right, she felt that it could only be described as a desolate wilderness.
So, where are we now?
Before she could even ask, Alger had already bowed respectfully to Miller. "My lord, I'll go down and take a look."
Miller nodded, and after receiving permission, Alger left.
The carriage stopped, and soon Alger's figure appeared in front.
Looking out the car window, Xu Ling could only see his straight back; she couldn't see what he was doing at all.
However, this only fueled Xu Ling's curiosity. Feeling a gentle tickle in her heart, she couldn't resist leaning most of her body out the window.
To reiterate, they are in the middle of nowhere, and there is absolutely no evidence of any buildings existing there.
So why did Alger say "we've arrived"? And what exactly was he going to do?
Unfortunately, whether it was an angle Alger deliberately chose, no matter how Xu Ling moved up and down, she was still completely obscured.
"What on earth is he doing?" Xu Ling couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Although she spoke softly, Sisi was right next to her, so she happened to hear everything clearly.
So Sisi leaned closer, this time lowering her voice, "Do you want to go take a look?"
Xu Ling turned her head with a soft "Hmm?" and moved closer to Qianqian, lowering her voice to ask, "Is it okay?"
Forehead······
She didn't even dare to glance back at Bishop Miller, so how could she dare to take it upon herself to let Xu Ling go see him?
Sisi gave an awkward smile, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Fortunately, Xu Ling didn't have much hope. Seeing that Qianqian was silent, she turned her head and looked at Miller.
Clearly, besides Alger, only Miller knew exactly where they were.
Since Alger was outside and she couldn't figure out what he was up to, she decided to ask Miller instead!
Perhaps it was because the God of Light had used Miller's body so frequently during this period, but Bishop Miller, whom she used to find more difficult to get along with than Alger, now felt somewhat familiar to her. So much so that she boldly took the initiative to ask Miller questions.
However, just as Xu Ling was about to ask the question, Alger returned with lightning speed.
The car door opened, and Alger's cold face reappeared before everyone, but when he faced Miller, he showed no trace of coldness.
"Sir, it's all done, you can go now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage, which had been stationary, started moving automatically.
Xu Ling peeked out again, only to see the same unchanging scenery.
As the carriage moved forward, the scenery quickly flashed by before her eyes.
But in the next instant, everything changed!
