Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Thanks, Ruiko. With your materials, I can set up an armory here too.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Oh, don’t ntion it, Sister Mochou. Those materials are pretty outdated anyway. I’m using automated robots for everything now.
Curly-haired Guy: Outdated products... if you run your business like that, you’ll be called a shady rchant.
Machete Girl: Definitely a shady rchant, and the type who scams people you know. A top-tier shady rchant, really.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Eeeek! Sister Mochou, you’re not going to scold , are you?
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Don’t worry, I won’t. Besides, even if you gave the most cutting-edge materials, I couldn’t use them here.
Li Mochou’s situation is probably like a village that just got electricity. Even with Saten Ruiko’s high-tech support from Academy City, they can’t jump straight into full modernization.
Not only is their productivity lacking, but the people’s knowledge base isn’t sufficient either. They might be able to handle installing a circuit breaker, but operating high-tech equipnt is a pipedream.
Machete Girl: I went back to that cursed school today, rembering it, but it’s just a wasteland. I couldn’t see the school, or even the surrounding buildings.
Doujin Artist: Wrong ti point?
Eriri, holding a cup of bubble tea, sent the ssage. Beside her, Claire was staring intently at Eriri, her eyes not blinking.
"Sothing wrong?" Eriri turned her head and asked.
"No, I’m just really curious what you look like," Claire shook her head and said, "You’re not very old, are you?"
Even though she couldn’t see her face, Claire could tell from her smooth, jade-like palms that this person had to be young. To have entered the Sanctuary so young, could she be the divine child of this world?
Claire felt like she had uncovered the other person’s secret.
"Here’s so advice: try not to judge things just by their surface," Eriri said, not directly answering her question, but speaking indirectly. "That’s how you truly see the essence."
"The way you talk is a bit like Sage Klein," Claire blinked and looked around. "By the way, are these people really just commoners?"
"What else would they be?" Eriri shrugged. "The high-level rulers aren’t strolling around on the street like us. With the spiritual energy revival, there are so many fewer people on the streets now. If it were before, this place would be packed."
"High-level rulers, do you an the emperor?" Claire asked after a mont of silence.
"No, the emperor of this country has beco a shut-in mascot," Eriri shook her head. "The ones ruling this country now are a bunch of puppets, puppets supported by Arica."
"Even with puppets, they can make the people of this country live in peace and be happy?" Claire was shocked, her face full of disbelief.
"What peace and happiness is this?"
Eriri scoffed. "Of course, for you, it might be considered living in peace and happiness. After all, compared to your world, the people’s lives here are clearly much better. But true peace and happiness isn’t like this, it’s far from it."
"Then, what would be considered true peace and happiness?" Claire’s interest was piqued, and she wanted to know more.
Eriri took a breath and chuckled softly. "Of course, it’s when the people are in charge."
Seeing Claire stunned with a look of shock on her face, Eriri ignored her and opened the group chat interface again.
Lazy Kitten: Ah, it feels like everyone is full of drive. Only I’m like a useless person, just loafing around.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: ? Aren’t you working too? Joined that special task force or sothing?
Lazy Kitten: Don’t even ntion it! Ever since I showed off my power that day, those cultists and such have completely disappeared. It’s such a pain!
Curly-haired Guy: You’re a cat, you can’t do that, right?
Lazy Kitten: Are you trying to start sothing? Are you trying to start sothing? Is this even about whether you can do it or not? What the heck am I talking about?
Curly-haired Guy: I understand your point, but you really can’t do that!
Lazy Kitten: Shut up, you idiot!
Agakure Village’s Angel: You guys should know that arguing won’t solve anything, right? If you understand what I an, stop fighting.
This is an Actor: So, we still have to fight, right?
Jiraiya shook his head helplessly. His girlfriend sotis liked to watch the excitent without fear of trouble. But it also showed her true nature, she was just a lively girl who enjoyed the hustle and bustle.
It was quite nice.
Thinking this, Jiraiya chuckled. He was starting to feel like he was in love and felt that having Konan as his girlfriend was indeed his luck.
*Bang.*
Just then, his dorm room door was violently kicked open.
Hermione, who had already recovered, stood at the doorway and shouted without regard for etiquette, "Sothing’s happened, Professor Zickrein! Harry, Harry went to chase the basilisk!"
Harry? Chasing the basilisk?
Jiraiya blinked, his expression a little stunned. That little wizard was really sothing else, didn’t he know his limits? With his magic skills, going after a basilisk?
While internally scoffing, Jiraiya’s face remained calm. "Don’t be nervous, relax. Do you know where he went?"
"I think it must be in the Chamber of Secrets!" Hermione shouted. "We’ve already found the location of the Chamber of Secrets!"
"Very good, take there," Jiraiya nodded, picked up his wand, and walked out of his dorm.
anwhile, in Dumbledore’s office.
"You’re saying you found the location of the Chamber of Secrets?" Dumbledore looked at Ron in front of him, his brow furrowed.
"Yes, Professor!" Ron’s expression was very anxious, and he shouted, "Harry has already followed the basilisk in, I’m afraid he’ll be in danger!"
"I understand," Dumbledore nodded, and looked at the phoenix beside him. "Fawkes, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you this ti."
The phoenix tilted its head humanely and flapped its wings at him.
Just as they were about to use Fawkes’ spatial ability to travel, a piercing scream suddenly broke out from outside the great hall.
"No, it’s coming!"
"Run, run! Go find the professors!"
"Oh my god, the basilisk! It really is the basilisk!"
