"Everyone, you really need to focus on this last sentence!"
"'Once you leave the golden threads woven by Aya, the messages won't work'"
"This means Amphoreus's network is just a personal LAN set up by Aglaea!"
"Thinking about it this way, it's actually quite easy to accept..."
"Though isolated from the world, civilization always finds its own way, converging on similar paths in technological development~"
Little Gui looks utterly amazed.
As if she has become a witness to history!
In the story,
Tribbie also says: "Hehe, you didn't think we were primitive people who know nothing, did you?"
Little Gui nods deeply in agreement.
Pointing at the screen, she says: "Now!"
"No matter what absurd thing appears in Amphoreus, I can accept it!"
"I declare, I have completely integrated into Amphoreus's worldview!"
However.
Just as Little Gui is brimming with confidence.
Tribbie's next sentence.
Instantly sends her plummeting from the mountaintop to the cliff!
Her proud adaptability crumbles completely!
"You two can also freely use the currency you brought. Talanton (Law Titan)'s scales will measure the value of all things, so no need to worry about being penniless and unable to live in the Holy City."
[Titans, truly marvelous...]
Tribbie tilts her head and agrees: "Yes. Titans, quite wondrous, aren't they?"
No!
This isn't marvelous—
This is downright bizarre!
"'Measure the value of all things'?"
"How is that possible, what's the principle behind it!"
"Damn, now I really am the primitive one here!"
...
"Currency conversion system, my boy!"
"Really love Little Gui's line: I can accept even the most absurd settings now (doge)."
"Sometimes I really suspect this world is fake, that I'm just an NPC living only to post this one comment."
"The Interastral Peace Corporation's accounting headquarters checked the books all night and still couldn't figure out where those Credits went."
"Great! I'm already planning my trip to Amphoreus!"
"Connecting with the universe is just around the corner!"
...
Little Gui suddenly felt like she'd suffered internal injuries!
And the plot just kept stirring up trouble!
Dan Heng and Stelle arrived at the rooftop.
The view was excellent,
perfect for photographing the distant Negative World Titan.
At that moment,
a young man named Damionis curiously approached.
"—What are you two doing?"
"You two are the heroes who protected the Holy City, right? I, Damionis, witnessed your brave deeds."
Dan Heng responded politely: "Hello. We are... soldiers from distant city-states."
"We've just arrived in Okhema and wanted to preserve some memories, so we came to this place with a broad view... um, to create... no, capture? Anyway, we want to preserve this scenery."
Dan Heng's gaze darkened slightly, as if racking his brains searching his vocabulary for the right words.
Damionis said frankly: "Oh—you mean taking photos, right?"
Dan Heng immediately felt like something was stuck in his throat.
He awkwardly crossed his arms.
Looking utterly defeated.
...
"Hahahahahaha..."
"Forgive me for finding humor in such a place..."
"You've given my Teacher Dan Heng internal injuries."
"Dan Heng: Sometimes I really want to crush the Jade Abacus of Allying Oath."
...
After a moment to recover,
Dan Heng finally managed to nod with difficulty: "Yes, that's what I meant."
"Haha! Then you've come to the right person! I, the humble Damionis, have considerable expertise in travel and photography—after all, my identity is that of the Holy City's famous explorer!"
"Here, hand me your image-stone device."
Dan Heng said with a hint of resentment: "...I don't want to analyze their naming conventions for things anymore."
After receiving the camera,
Damionis couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh, it's a model I haven't seen before, but it won't stump me. Is it here? And here... Ha! Easy peasy, I've completely figured it out..."
...
Astral Express.
At this moment.
Dan Heng silently took out some gold and jade from his backpack.
Originally, he intended to use these as trading currency for their trip to Amphoreus.
But he never expected...
Credits would work too!
According to the plot's explanation, that Law Titan would impartially measure all currencies to determine equivalent value.
This was almost too convenient, wasn't it?
Suddenly!
Dan Heng's gaze sharpened!
He looked back at the plot!
No!
How could they possibly hand March 7th's camera to a stranger here!
The camera contained numerous selfies of March 7th, as well as images from beyond this universe—Xianzhou, Penacony, and other places.
If locals discovered this,
the existence of worlds beyond theirs would be undeniable!
It was one thing for Stelle not to think that far...
But he himself,
had actually made such a basic mistake!?
Sure enough!
After getting the camera,
Damionis's eyes widened instantly!
As if he had discovered something shocking.
Dan Heng's heart sank!
This is bad!
I'm about to break my promise with Aglaea.
Fortunately,
this is still just part of the storyline.
Before heading to Amphoreus this time, I must prepare in advance and clear the photo album!
But after this initial thought,
Dan Heng suddenly grew puzzled again!
If it were me,
even if I had been momentarily careless and forgotten about other photos in the camera just now...
Now that this local person showed such obvious signs of shock,
how could I possibly have noticed nothing at all?
Could it really be that I suffered internal injuries from the earlier events, temporarily lowering my intelligence?
Impossible!
Then,
there's another possibility!
I,
I am deliberately allowing this...
as a way to test the Chrysos Heirs!
To break the deadlock, I need to find a breakthrough.
This,
perhaps counts as a helpless method?!
As for whether this is truly the case, it will depend on how things unfold later.
...
In Little Gui's livestream room,
all the players also sensed something was wrong!
Comments kept refreshing!
...
"It's over!"
"Oh no, I forgot this is March 7th's camera!"
"Hiss... did he see the world beyond the sky in the photo album..."
"He saw a wild pink-haired girl."
"Dun—dun—dong!"
"Although I knew it would leak eventually, I didn't expect it to happen so quickly!"
"It's fine! What if he knows? At most, it'll just be a small punishment."
"The sky will collapse after Aglaea finds out."
...
After taking photos of Dan Heng and Stelle,
Damionis suddenly asked mysteriously: "Speaking of which, I actually have something I'd like to ask you two Heroes. I didn't expect to run into you so coincidentally, so I'll just ask directly..."
"You... aren't actually from foreign lands, are you?"
Dan Heng's gaze sharpened: "What do you mean?"
Damionis lowered his voice: "Rumors have already started spreading. Some refugees who just entered the city said—you're from beyond the sky, picked up by Lord Phainon on the roadside."
Dan Heng was slightly surprised.
But he quickly replied with a serious expression: "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, sir. Rumors are just rumors."
"We come from Thalassa Polis, a sparsely populated border village. To reach the Holy City, we overcame numerous hardships and dangers. We were fortunate to meet Lord Phainon in the Abyss, which allowed us to arrive here."
"Thalassa Polis...?"
Damionis showed a disappointed expression,
"Sigh, is that so... I thought I could finally prove the existence of the world beyond the sky."
"Haha, no matter! Regardless, thank you for your assistance, warriors of Thalassa Polis."
"—Okhema welcomes you."
...
"The Borisin fleet from Thalassa... the High-Cloud Quintet... Teacher Dan Heng, you..."
"Knowledge drop: Thalassa is where the High-Cloud Quintet first achieved a military victory."
"Teacher Dan Heng unintentionally mentioned this place name buried deep in his memories, showing how deeply etched the beginning of the High-Cloud Quintet is in Imbibitor Lunae's memories."
"Prisoner Yu periodically drags out High-Cloud Quintet fans to chop them and see if they're thoroughly dead yet."
""How About We Merge Our Accounts Into the High-Cloud Quintet","Yingxing, stop frowning, and Imbibitor Lunae, you too, smile a little","Baiheng, don't make things difficult for them, these two are still hung up on their last match with Jingliu""Want another round? I'd be happy to oblige""
"Even after arriving at Amphoreus, the High-Cloud Quintet still won't let me go!"
