Chapter 52: I Will Directly Request Instructions from the Lord!
***
Jiang Qiao: “Have you all drawn scratch cards? What did you get? Show them quickly.”
Having drawn sothing strange and useless himself, his curiosity naturally made him wonder what kind of rewards the other chat group mbers would receive.
Soon, there were replies.
Yunyun: “It’s Explosion Magic…”
【Explosion Magic (gumin Version)】
This was what Yunyun drew in one pull.
Kyoko: “I got a golden apple.”
Unlike the others who would exercise restraint, Kyoko would keep playing with anything interesting, so she directly spent all her 30 points drawing, though she only got one thing—
【Golden Apple】
A famous treasure from Greek mythology that once caused a dispute among three goddesses, but in Kyoko’s eyes it was rely a golden apple with an incredibly delicious taste.
Kyoko’s evaluation was — it tastes amazing, I want to eat more!
Hu Tao: “I seem to have drawn sothing strange…”
【Haagentus’ Spirit】
Hall Master Hu had no idea what this thing was for.
Jiang Qiao was also sowhat confused.
He did know about spirits, roughly aning souls or essence, with the deepest impression probably being from so ga.
This might be sothing like【Puni’s Spirit】or similar?
Perhaps it was so later-released sprite or sothing.
It probably wasn’t anything important.
Having no impression of it, Jiang Qiao didn’t dwell on such matters.
“Let’s deal with the current situation first~”
The pink-haired girl, now wearing the Fla-Chaser outfit from the previous era, casually brushed the hair by his ear and looked at the exquisite poster in his hand, a charming curve forming at the corner of his mouth.
— Famous artist and singer Eden will hold a touring concert soon.
“Although this might seem like I’m neglecting serious matters for pleasure, I’m really looking forward to that【Golden】Fla-Chaser’s concert~”
Of course, Jiang Qiao wasn’t participating in the concert simply because he wanted to attend a concert.
For the blueprint he was planning in his heart, he definitely needed to make contact with that【Elysia】 close friend in advance.
Besides, he had previously lied to Elysia, saying that the outfit was designed by so wealthy young lady.
If later when Elysia changed back and didn’t see the wealthy young lady, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
So, even for the sake of his own face, Jiang Qiao had to make this lie co true.
In summary—
“So then~【My】dear Eden, let us have a romantic encounter in advance?”
His gentle, smiling slender finger traced over the poster showing the woman with beautiful features and noble temperant, his bright clear blue eyes filled with hints of laughter.
…
Before Gray Serpent, the remains of a damaged monitoring device were displayed as a projection for him to examine clearly.
Needless to say, this was naturally the result brought by Miss Raven’s imdiate report after detecting the anomaly.
Unlike Gray Serpent, who didn’t want to lose face before the Lord and wanted to wait until he had so results before notifying the Lord, Raven as a rcenary couldn’t be bothered with such concerns. She just needed to report any clues she found, she only cared about money!
“You think this is Fire Moth’s symbol?”
The hoarse voice revealed no emotion from Gray Serpent, who simply gazed at the remains before him with those crimson chanical compound eyes, asking the question to Raven on the other end.
“Don’t ask about this. I don’t care and I’m not interested, but don’t you think it looks quite similar?”
“This is impossible. Fire Moth has long since disappeared along with the Previous Era civilization. It cannot still exist.”
Gray Serpent obviously couldn’t believe this thing was related to Fire Moth.
Just a damaged, highly similar icon, what did that prove?
The world was vast, and extrely similar patterns weren’t unheard of.
If it was just a moth pattern, comparing it with image databases worldwide would surely find matches.
At this point, Jackal also joined the conversation and provided technical support:
“The restoration results are out. This is indeed Fire Moth’s pattern, but there’s no data about this portable communicator model in the Previous Era database.”
“Of course, this doesn’t an this thing isn’t from Fire Moth.”
As a rigorous researcher, Jackal didn’t make absolute statents.
Because the Previous Era database couldn’t be said to be completely accurate either. After so many disasters and 50,000 years of ti, quite a bit of data inevitably had errors and losses.
“Say, it couldn’t be that so old relic from the Elysian Realm snuck out when you weren’t paying attention, could it?”
Hearing this, Raven couldn’t help but tease.
If it was so old thing from the Elysian Realm that had escaped and caused this incident, that would indeed not be strange.
Jackal, who was responsible for this area, couldn’t help but refute:
“There’s no such possibility. The Elysian Realm’s data is all normal, and I haven’t received any news about any Lord coming to reality.”
“Heh, so you’re saying it’s haunted? In broad daylight, a Fire Moth device suddenly appears, sothing that was swept into the trash heap of history couldn’t have suddenly co back to life, could it?”
Miss Raven didn’t mind making a big deal of watching the excitent, casually joking about this “supernatural incident” before them.
“…Actually, we can’t rule out that this thing ca from ruins.”
After thinking about it, Jackal provided another possibility.
Although most of the Previous Era’s legacy was inherited by World Serpent, so parts were also obtained by Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.
It wouldn’t be impossible for a communicator with just the Fire Moth marking to be excavated.
Of course, this explanation actually didn’t hold much water.
Because although this communicator could be called military-grade, it still couldn’t possibly survive 50,000 years of ti’s erosion.
Even if it really could survive, repairing this thing would be completely cost-ineffective.
After all, this was just an extrely ordinary portable communicator.
Of course—
There was another possibility.
That this Fire Moth communicator was deliberately forged by soone, with the purpose of confusing them!
If that were the case, then the mastermind behind this incident would be truly terrifying to contemplate.
As World Serpent executives, they had to consider all of this.
Soon, Gray Serpent began the next arrangents:
“Jackal, take that communicator into the Elysian Realm. You might be able to get useful information.”
“Raven, continue the investigation. Next, focus on investigating that man nad Jiang Qiao. Be careful, that man is definitely not as simple as he appears on the surface.”
Although Gray Serpent wasn’t worried about Raven’s safety since she carried the Seven Thunders of Retribution, he still deliberately reminded her.
“What about you?”
“?”
Facing Raven’s question, Gray Serpent’s hoarse voice beca the conclusion of this World Serpent executive eting:
“— Things have co to this point. I must personally request instructions from the Lord.”
