Takumi was not surprised by this result.
After all, if we take it seriously, Eris is just a diplomat promoted by Heaven and is only responsible for communicating with the Dimensional City.
She can still make up her mind if it's a small matter, but if it's a big deal, then Eris has no choice but to report it and let the Heaven Center make a decision.
This time, the letter Takumi asked Darkness to send was about cooperation on Divine Artifacts, that is, the plan to deceive Divine Artifacts from the Konosuba world.
However, Takumi naturally would not expose this true purpose. In the letter, he just said that there is a method of recycling things in the Dimensional City, which may be used to help the Heaven Realm recycle the Divine Artifacts that have been distributed.
At the same time, in order not to reveal the true purpose, Takumi also added a condition: those Divine Artifacts must be studied in the Dimensional City.
In this way, the false purpose on the surface can cover up the real purpose; at least it will not appear so suspicious.
If this doesn't work, then Takumi has another plan.
That is to help strengthen the Divine Artifact.
Well, in fact, it just doesn't limit whether the Divine Artifact can be strengthened and blessed after it is included in the Gate of Babylon.
But no matter what, this matter is beyond Eris's authority and can only be reported to the Heaven Center.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will take at least three days for a reply.
The reason Takumi was able to guess this time was that he had already tried it.
Last time, he asked Eris to understand the power of faith and hoped to have communication with Heaven.
Eris was also unable to decide on this matter. After reporting it, there was no reply until three days later—that is, yesterday.
As for the reply, it was rejected.
The reason is that the power of faith is too confidential for Heaven, and at the same time, Takumi has no relevant knowledge, so communication will not be beneficial to Heaven.
To put it more bluntly, do you want to get it for nothing? No way!
In response, Takumi was not discouraged and just replied: Who said I don't have relevant knowledge here? Wait, I'll get it right now.
Takumi dared to say this because he suddenly thought that among the worlds currently connected to the Dimensional City, there was another world with the power of faith.
He had even been to this world, but he was busy with other things at the time and didn't notice it.
That's right, this world is the Type-Moon world!
The gods in the Type-Moon world also exist based on faith. Even the strength of the Spirit Origin of the Heroic Spirits when they appear in the world is closely related to the mechanism of popularity, which is close to the power of faith.
And the Type-Moon World... this world is almost like a back garden to Takumi. If you want something, just go over and talk to Gaia and Alaya. It's not difficult at all.
However, there are still things to be busy with in the Dimensional City, so Takumi has not gone there yet.
At least he's not free yet; he has to receive Robin first.
...
After receiving this reply, Takumi waved his hand to Darkness. "Okay, I understand. If you have nothing to do, just go down and rest first."
"Okay." Seeing this, Darkness retreated.
"Sorry for the delay. Where were we just introduced?" Takumi also returned to Robin, preparing to continue taking her around.
Robin smiled and said, "The introduction has been completed, but I am quite curious about the liaison lady. Are there such outsiders in the Dimensional City?"
Takumi nodded. "Yes, there are, but relatively few. Except for Darkness, there are currently only four ordinary residents in the Dimensional City."
These were Asuna Yuuki and the new ones: Mine, Sheele, and Leone.
After speaking, he glanced at Robin with interest and said with a smile, "What? Is Miss Robin also interested in coming to the Dimensional City to make a living?"
He could probably guess Robin's plan, which was just to take advantage of the cross-world characteristics of the Dimensional City to take refuge.
Takumi had no reason to refuse and even welcomed it, so he gave Robin an opening.
Robin's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly followed the words and said:
"I do have this idea, and as you know, I am a weak woman wandering alone, and I may get into some trouble at some point, so..."
Well, Robin made up a false identity for herself, that of a homeless orphan... emmm, it doesn't seem to be fake; it can only be said to be hiding part of the truth.
And... a weak woman?
The corners of Takumi's eyes twitched slightly, but he simply didn't bother to expose it and said smoothly, "Then you can come over at any time; the Dimensional City always welcomes guests."
"With the words of the City Lord, I feel relieved."
Robin breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed spontaneously.
The conditions for the evacuation plan were put together, and with the Dimensional City as a guarantee, she finally no longer had to worry about her own safety in the future!
Then she continued to ask, "For future convenience, could you please introduce me to the living conditions here?"
The purpose of hiding is to hide, but what happens after hiding must be clarified first so that she can be prepared; otherwise, it will be embarrassing if she can't survive.
"Sure."
Takumi didn't refuse and started to introduce to Robin what she needed to pay attention to when living in the Dimensional City, how to make a living, and what benefits there were.
"Miss Robin, if you only come here occasionally to stay temporarily, I would recommend you exchange the currency here through trade."
"Firstly, it will not delay your normal life in your own world."
"Secondly, you can have startup capital after you come here so that you can survive the time between finding a job and waiting until your salary is settled."
Robin nodded and felt that this plan was more reliable, so she asked:
"So, what trade should I do?"
"Or in other words, what can be exchanged for money in the Dimensional City?"
"Gold? No, gold seems to have no value here."
Recalling the large number of gold ingots that were piled haphazardly on the shelves gathering dust when she visited the smelting workshop before, Robin couldn't help but twitch the corner of her eye. When she learned that gold, a hard currency, was almost the same as ordinary stone in the Dimensional City, Robin's values were greatly impacted, and she still hasn't recovered from it until now.
More importantly, if even gold is not valuable, she really can't think of anything else that can be exchanged for money in the Dimensional City.
Seeing this, Takumi introduced:
"Most material things are indeed worthless in the Dimensional City, but some specialties from various worlds are still valuable."
"You can exchange special products for money, or some cultural and knowledge-based things."
"Especially culture and knowledge; these things have a guaranteed low price, and we also purchase them in large quantities for a long time."
"However, it is only valid for the first redemption, and the same content will not be purchased repeatedly."
