Chapter 215
"The sound of running water..."
Kirshtalia stood at the edge of the desert, looking out at the huge waterfalls in the distance.
"Wow." Tetrot flew beside Kirshtalia, "Is this Maple Dan? Hmm... Although she looks very beautiful, she always reminds me of that guy Drake."
"As for that river... I heard that Fujimaru and the others all fell into it." Kirshtalia took out the materials for drawing the magic circle from her pocket and talked to Tetrot. "I don't think it's strange that Fujimaru and the android fell into it, but after seeing Oberon's information, I was still a little surprised."
"That's Vortigern!? He fell down too!?"
"I was with Mash at the time, so I didn't see it." Tetrot watched Kirshtalia mobilize her magic to activate the magic circle, "But rather than saying that Drake was able to trick Vortigern... I think he took the initiative to go there. Although he is the fairy dead master, Drake is not very dangerous."
"I understand. After all, there is a very simple and crude solution. Okay." Kirshtalia straightened her clothes and stepped into the glowing magic circle. "We can't use the Mirror magic, so it's a simpler method. Simply put, just pull us over."
"Like Merlin brought the Axe of Marduk to the Blood Temple on Gorgon—just float it up and drop it."
"What we need to do is to pull ourselves to a certain 'Lord's side' - the magic power is used to speed up the time required."
"When 'heaven' and 'earth' separated, there was a distinction between 'heaven' and 'earth'——"
"However, before the "heaven" and "earth" separated and mutually excluded each other, the "heaven" and "earth" should have been one and the same. "
The moment the chant ended, Kirshtalia was overwhelmed by the dizziness caused by the high-speed movement. When his vision returned, he was already standing in front of Lansemelo.
The night wind, carrying the scent of the sea tide, gently enveloped the port under the gaze of the water god statue - there were originally few people in Hailu Port, and even the terrace where the statue of the water god Qi Tian was located was deserted in the middle of the night.
So, after being interrupted by the sudden appearance of Kirshtalia, Lansemelo also stopped collecting data - the fairy of paradise watched the magician belonging to the stars rush forward a few steps uncontrollably under the influence of gravity, and just stopped before colliding with him.
"Long time no see, Kirsh." Lansemero smiled and snapped his fingers, using a simple magic to eliminate Kirshtalia's discomfort. "Tell me about your situation, and I will arrange the general direction of action in the future - although I say so, there is actually no need for us to take any action..."
"By the way, do you have the outline and draft for your two papers, Inazuma and Sumi?"
"Inazuma's draft has been completed, and Sumi's only has an outline." Kirshtalia followed Lansemero to the other side of the patrol boat platform and began to wait to board the patrol boat. "I will send it directly to you?"
"Hmm." Lansemello tacitly acknowledged Kirshtalia's question and stared at the waterway that kept extending forward in front of him. "Inazuma... your choice was ancient culture - the paper about Sumi, and you chose the academic center regime... Can I know where the ancient culture you compared with Inazuma is recorded?"
"I chose something related to nature worship." Kirshtalia paused and told Lansermero about his source material. "After all, this is the land of thunder. Even if the tribes that existed in the past did not believe in the god of thunder, they would believe in the power of thunder - just like the most typical sun worship."
"Then when you finish writing this, I will show it to those people - but they themselves probably won't care much about these comments." Lansemello chuckled and watched the patrol boat slowly stop on the platform. "Let's go, I have already thought of what you should write about Maple Dan - but first, we need to take the patrol boat to Maple Danting."
"?"
"I am here to visit Fengdan as the current great sage of the Sumire Academy. Many things can only be done after going through a clear path."
Maple Dan's Supreme Judge is completely different from Sumi's Grand Secretary - even if the Grand Secretary was promoted to Acting Great Sage, he still didn't change his habit of being nowhere to be found during working hours, leaving get off work on time, and never talking about work during rest time; while Maple Dan's Supreme Judge is used to working non-stop, and even if Sumi's Great Sage visits late at night, he still handles his work in Momang Palace diligently and responsibly.
"Good evening, Mr. Supreme Judge Navilette. I am Rikolis, the Great Sage of the Sumire Order."
The reliability of the God of Wisdom's work has always been reassuring. Although Lancermello left Sumi City after saying goodbye to Nashida that night, the conversation between the two was not just a casual chat. The disciplinarian who had been following Lancermello's movements in the desert before was ordered to inspect the research situation of scholars in the desert and delivered all the necessary documents to Lancermello.
The complexity of Maplestage's procedures gave people a sense of absurd literature - at least for Chaldea, which had always kept its staff very lean, it seemed a bit unnecessary and unbearable.
Although the meeting with the Supreme Judge was a customary one in which the procedures were skipped and the meeting was held directly - it was an official meeting after all, and no matter how complicated the process was, even if the meeting was over, the procedures that had been skipped before still had to be completed.
So after going to a certain office in the Court of Complexity more than three times, Lansermello finally couldn't help himself and imitated the scholars in his memory to be extremely picky about the staff of the Court of Complexity.
"I have been going through this process since you started working at 8 o'clock this morning." Lansemero smiled at the staff member in charge of international meetings in front of him, but his smile did not reach his eyes. "It is already 4 o'clock in the afternoon - maybe the time is irrelevant to you Maple people, but you are wasting the time of a scholar from Sumi."
"Even if it's just an ordinary scholar, these eight hours are enough for them to write a paper outline or complete a simple experiment - not to mention that the person in front of you now is me."
"The current Grand Master of the Sumi Order, my mission this time is to come to Maple Stage to learn from your advanced experience in law - not your advanced experience in passing the buck." Lansermelo changed his position on the sofa and looked at the staff in front of him who was frightened by the aura of someone he imitated. "It's really surprising that you can send the prisoner to Mello Petersburg immediately after the verdict..."
"I think you Fengdan are the most efficient in this area."
"I'm so sorry!!! But..."
"'All this is necessary'? I've heard you say this many times." Lansermello leaned on the sofa and spread his hands. The smile on his face faded. "In my opinion, you are just like the clockwork you are proud of. You are just a group of clockworks that can only repeat meaningless content."
"It's a pity that Lord Little Jixiangcao still thinks that there will be wise men who can rival the wise men in the countries outside of Sumi... Now it seems that you are just parts of a huge machine and do not have the necessary elements of a scholar - even as a machine, you seem too bloated."
It was the God of Water and the Supreme Judge who returned to the Momang Palace from the Opikle Opera House in the evening who finally saved the staff of the Court of Compound Rules. All repetitive and unnecessary procedures were cancelled under their supervision. The staff of the Court of Compound Rules finally did not have to continue to face the linguistic attacks of the scholars, and Lansemello finally had his first meal of the day at nine o'clock in the evening.
"I knew it was necessary for you to prepare a place to stay." Sitting at the dining table in the residence, Lansemello looked at Kirshtalia sitting opposite him and sighed helplessly, "After all, it's France from Maple Stage... I thought I was mentally prepared enough."
"But you never expected that you would spend the whole day doing that..." Kirshtalia finally raised his head from his paper, "Would you like to hear me tell you about my actions today?"
"You say."
After arriving at Maplestage on a patrol ship, Kirshtalia, who received a large amount of activity funds from Lancermello, had the first task of finding a place for the two of them to stay in Maplestage in the future - strictly speaking, it might be a base that the entire Chaldea would use in the future.
Unlike the official institution like the Court of Complex Law, which has complicated procedures and numerous responsibilities, the efficiency of the civilians in Maple Stage is still high enough - specifically, Kirshtalia was able to buy a three-bedroom, two-living room house on the street near the Momang Palace simply by relying on Mora.
——Although it might seem a bit small if it were to accommodate a large number of servants, this place is a bit oversized as a base.
Then Kirshtalia first transformed the house into a workshop - although Teyvat is a world where mystery still exists, and their magic has not become invalid due to its disclosure to various worlds, it is still necessary to have a way to shield ordinary people.
——It’s not to protect the mystery, but to protect this world.
Not to affect ordinary people in Teyvat - this was the promise they made to their client before they started intervening.
After completing the initial work of turning the workshop into a workshop, Kirshtalia established the necessary communication base. He did not try to contact Chaldea again, but instead contacted Edmund, who had disappeared since entering Teyvat, for the first time.
Tai Gongwang had seen Holmes before, so he mentioned this to Kirshtalia in the previous communication - so the Revengeful Ghost became the only member of the four-member search team who is currently missing.
"I have an appointment with the Cave King to meet tomorrow to learn about the situation of the Maple Dan people so as to prepare for the next Maple Dan thesis topic." Kirshtalia looked at Lansemello, and her tone gradually became subtle. "I invited him to this base, but... he said he wanted to meet underwater."
“…Except for Fujimaru, no one can let him go to a place similar to Paris.” After hearing Kirshtalia’s words, Lansemello sighed and ordered the temporary familiar to clean up the dishes. “However, I think we can take a break here and invite some people to come and play.”
"Why?"
"Now that we have finished what needs to be done, it's time to take a vacation - we won't be able to go back for at least another year."
