"A concert? Is that bastard addicted to playing house, last time he messed around with you, and now he's collaborating with that singer?"
The next day, everyone in the Golden Courtyard received the news, Eden was smiling as she told everyone one by one. Most people were very interested, but when it came to Kalpas, there was the usual resistance.
"What do you mean 'messed around with me,' Kalpas, you really say some shocking things sometimes." Elysia rubbed the ground with her toes, thinking to herself, no wonder Eden gave this difficult task to her.
The highest-level verbal abuse, the highest-level enjoyment. Kalpas, wearing a vest, snorted and was about to leave to exercise, but after only two steps, he was caught by Elysia again.
"Oh, I'm not finished talking yet, wait a moment." Elysia secretly turned her head, took a piece of paper from her pants pocket, looked at it seriously for a couple of seconds, and then tried her best to make a serious expression.
"This is absolutely, absolutely not just playing. First, since we're idle anyway, we have to find something to do, right? All the computing power of that 'Dark Souls' has been transferred by Mei; second, this can publicize our existence and lure the Herrschers to attack; third..."
She got stuck for a moment, then turned her head to look at the paper again: "Third, we will invite Ludicyna and the others, oh, it's also very troublesome to always be called a small clique."
The Fire Moth people are not fools, they all know that the people who can live in the Golden Courtyard are the Supreme Commander's confidants. Ryan also didn't explain, there are naturally close and distant relationships between people, and he couldn't force a big happy ending.
"What does this have to do with me? I don't care about any reason." Kalpas said with disdain. He always wanted to do things his own way, more extreme than Ryan. The people he approved of were only a part of those in the Golden Courtyard, and he couldn't even recognize all the members of the detachment he led.
It seems that Super Elysia is going to use her trump card.
Elysia's eyes turned, and the serious expression she had just now immediately disappeared. She giggled and said, "But I don't want to trouble the people of the Fire Moth. Since it was our idea, we should prepare for it ourselves. Everyone has their own work, you see Griseo is helping to draw posters."
The girl in the living room was holding a palette, carefully outlining the colors. At first glance, it looked like a doodle, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to have a deeper meaning, it was the color of gold and stars.
"It was your idea." Kalpas glanced at it and answered seriously.
"Yes, yes, it was us, but Kalpas's woodworking skills are the best, I've always been so envious."
"Hmph, of course."
"Since you're the most skilled, then I'll leave the work of setting up the stage to you. See you later."
After dropping these words, Elysia skipped away, leaving Kalpas stunned in place. After a long while, he let out a roar.
"Bastard! I haven't agreed yet!!"
Elysia decisively didn't look back and ran straight up to the second floor, where she met Aponia holding a strange instrument.
"Did Kalpas agree?"
"When the smart and cute Super Elysia takes action, there's nothing that can't be done." Elysia put her hands on her hips, and before the nun could praise her, she leaned her head forward and asked, "Aponia, what is this?"
It was rectangular, slightly raised in the middle, and had 25 strings. Elysia had never seen such a unique instrument in all her travels around the world.
"Ryan told me it's a Guzheng. He made it himself. It turns out there is such an instrument in the world. I only played the harp before." The nun plucked a string, making a crisp sound. Her watery eyes swept over the Elysia in front of her.
There was one of the three reasons to persuade Kalpas that she didn't write, and that was to make Elysia busy and test her current state of mind.
The result was good, this pink fairy indeed didn't have anything on her mind, as if nothing had happened.
"Elysia, want to learn?"
"I prefer to be the director and arrange for everyone to be busy. You go ahead and get busy, I'll go see if Pardofelis has finished the decorations, and I also need to go see the equipment Vil-V has prepared. I'm very busy."
Elysia said as she ran away lightly, disappearing around the corner of the stairs in a few steps, making Aponia shake her head helplessly.
She was clearly just too lazy and unwilling to learn.
"Elysia is the soul of the Golden Courtyard, right." Sakura walked out from the shadow behind the pillar, listening to the footsteps, "With her here, there is always no shortage of smiles."
"So you didn't disturb Ryan?"
"Even Mobius knows what's more important, there's nothing to say." The fox-eared girl shook her head slightly. She couldn't play instruments or sing, so she could only help Ryan do things well.
"The Herrscher of Binding hasn't appeared recently, she should be waiting for a certain opportunity. It's not a good thing for us to just wait foolishly."
"Let Ryan handle these troublesome things. After this Eleventh Herrscher, no one knows what other apostles there will be." Aponia gently played the Guzheng, making a crisp sound, "But I have a feeling that in the future, opportunities for everyone to stay together and do things like this will become fewer and fewer."
The nun's intuition had always been very accurate, just like the Golden Courtyard right now, where almost one-third of the people were not present, and it was much quieter than before.
"But as long as Elysia and Ryan are still here, no matter who falls first, this life will continue."
Sakura nodded lightly in agreement. The damage caused by the rampage of the Herrscher of Binding was already very great, at least five percent of the population was eliminated, and the various research projects of the Fire Moth had also reached their time for harvest.
"The war has entered a white-hot stage. Let's try to add more warmth. If we can face the End like Elysia, with a smile, that would be the best."
"For Rin?"
"No, for myself." Sakura answered in a low voice, and then, as if she didn't want to talk about this topic, she picked up a document she had just received and held it up, "By the way, the 'Wandering Humans' plan officially begins in three days. I plan to send Rin and Griseo as the second batch into the world bubble. Do you want to go?"
Aponia was the only Flame-Chaser who didn't participate in direct combat. Her ability was not suitable for fighting. In other words, going to the world bubble was the best choice.
"I won't go. If it succeeds, I'll celebrate with you. If it fails, I'll be buried with this era. A hopeless fate has no sense of anticipation." The nun bowed slightly and went downstairs with the Guzheng in her arms.
It seems that everyone has made their choice, just like me.
Sakura didn't try to persuade her at all, as if she had guessed that Aponia would refuse. She then took a large stack of documents and walked up to the second floor, pushing open the half-closed door. She saw that in the simply decorated room, a computer screen was flickering, and a man was rapidly typing on the keyboard.
"Sakura, you're here?"
"Yes, I just finished handling some things and came back to help when I heard the news." Sakura skillfully took a teacup from the cabinet, boiled water in the electric kettle, placed the filter on the rim of the cup, and poured in the fragrant black tea.
It was high-quality tea gifted by Eden, the temperature was just right, with half a sugar cube, which was Ryan's favorite ratio. The man didn't even turn his head back, this kind of thing had become a daily habit.
"The civilian internet is about to be cut off, and you're still writing a book." Sakura placed the teacup on the table, glanced at the words on the screen, and then looked away.
Ryan was a bit unaccustomed to having his content looked at. He didn't look at others' content, the logic was that simple.
"There have indeed been a lot fewer in the last two months, but there are still about a hundred readers in the backend. I'll just consider it a gift for them in my spare time."
Two of them must be Mobius and Elysia. Hua doesn't seem to be reading it recently.
The thought flashed through Sakura's mind, but she didn't say it out loud. She said again, "Do you want me to be a reader too?"
"Uh, let's not. The content isn't very suitable for you, and I might not have time to write the ending. It's a great pain to read a book and have it end abruptly." Ryan held up his teacup to hide his embarrassment, thinking that it was okay with Elysia, who had shared life and death with him, but it was better not to spread this kind of embarrassing history.
The reason was no other than that after all the censors were wiped out, Ryan had let himself go. The main plot was quickly glossed over, and all his energy was focused on writing lewd stuff.
Praise Prometheus, she copied the entire human database, as long as he used his authority, there was no shortage of material.
"Okay, I'm not very interested in books anyway." Sakura was a little disappointed, so she placed the documents on the table. "Dr. Mei just sent a message that the world bubble has been located, and it's confirmed that there is no sign of 'Śūnya' existing. The Honkai energy has also begun to be infused. The first batch of wanderers will go to their new home in three days."
Ryan's interest was piqued. He skillfully minimized the window, put on his glasses, and began to read carefully.
This plan was led by Ryan. The imaginative basis was some research from the original timeline, such as the Third Laboratory preparing to infuse a certain world bubble with Honkai energy, and also the fact that some fragments of the Mu continent remained in the Sea of Quanta for tens of thousands of years after it was swallowed by the Ninth Herrscher with a black hole.
However, the previous civilization didn't invest much in this area. They were bombed by the Ninth Herrscher before they could get any results. Mei then shifted resources to the 'Ark Plan,' and there was no further development after that.
The technology for the Ark Plan came from Kalpas, and with Ryan here, it wasn't so troublesome. After all, it would be good enough for a spaceship to be able to carry a gene bank, and it might not even be able to fly out of the solar system.
But the Sea of Quanta was right under the world's feet. At least the 'distance' was much closer. Besides the 'Śūnya' incident, he hadn't found too many dangers.
"It's precisely because of the existence of 'Śūnya' that we were able to get a massive amount of research from a civilization. Just the parts that have been analyzed are comparable to all the results of the Third Laboratory in recent years."
"Dr. Vidic is worshiping you like a god." Sakura couldn't help but laugh.
"Worshipping me is useless. It's most important to put the theory into practice as soon as possible. We have invested hundreds of times more resources than before, and we must see results." Ryan quickly flipped through the pages, reading line after line, and stopped at the end.
"Are Griseo and Rin also going to be sent away? It'll be a lot lonelier then."
He sighed, and Sakura quietly walked over and gently massaged his temples.
"It's okay, as long as Elysia is here, it will be very lively."
"Not just that." Ryan took out a second document. It was the observation data of the South American continent from the Sky Network, and a few unusual wave shapes were marked in red.
After Elysia makes a fuss, the Herrscher will soon make it lively for us. But this way...
Maybe I can take this opportunity to remove a heart ailment for Elysia?
