Chapter 1485: Chapter 1485
Having barely settled the matter of the jewelry, Feng Yuan immediately took Xiao Ji to find Qi Chen and the others. Upon arriving at the agreed location and seeing the huge pile of food on the table, Feng Yuan scratched his head and remarked with some puzzlement.
At this point, he noticed that many of the foods present weren’t products from this dessert shop. Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and the others peculiarly. Could it be that these items were sneaked in by them?
Veronia glanced at Agunas and said,
"Don’t worry, Agunas got permission for these. All the food here are things we find particularly tasty, and I think the environment here is quite nice."
Surveying the surroundings, Veronia said proudly; she had circled the area before deciding on this restaurant just because the dining environment was nice. Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and the others and chuckled without saying anything. In reality, how could he not know what they were contemplating?
If not intentionally, how could it be that most of the food on the table were things he likes eating? Of course, Feng Yuan wouldn’t speak out about it; some things are better left known and remembered inside.
While waiting for Feng Yuan to finish his meal, Agunas looked at him and said,
"How about we head to the Data City later?"
"We want to explore Tiraya’s Data City and see how it compares to Maomu."
Scratching his head, Qi Chen said apologetically, to which Feng Yuan waved his hand and replied,
"Well then, let’s head to the Data City later. But indeed, at the moment, there aren’t many places that have developed their Data Cities."
Though Maomu City had early mastery over the Data City with his assistance, considering various factors they haven’t opened it up for tourism. Thus currently, places where one can tour the Data City are still quite scarce.
While Feng Yuan and the others were touring the Data City, Arnis arrived in Tiraya City invited by the Divine Beast Hall. It had concealed its form, so not many people noticed its presence.
Upon seeing the Magic Circle diagrams of Tiraya City, Arnis became intrigued, and in human form, it continually inspected the information, exclaiming,
"It looks interesting, although it’s unfortunate that magic has ultimately been abandoned... Don’t worry about the underground core Magic Array, I can help you resolve it, and organize the specific information for you, but you should hand over these things entirely to Maomu City—don’t deliberately hold back the core technology."
By the end, Arnis warned with some implied meaning. Regarding Feng Yuan’s request, it had some understanding. Moreover, it was clear: if Tiraya City dared to cheat Maomu City, the consequences would be severe, and it didn’t want to clean up Tiraya City’s mess afterward.
"Of course. Would you say we need to evacuate the public ahead of time?"
"No need, the protective measures of the Magic Circles here aren’t that strict."
Shaking its head, Arnis said as it began preparations to handle the repair of the Magic Circles, now understanding why the Divine Beast Hall sought its help—the Magic Circles and technology are too challenging for current humans. Although Tiraya City’s experts have specialized in studying Tiraya’s past civilizational technologies, this advanced magical technology that surprises even Arnis is still too sophisticated for them.
Within the Data City, Feng Yuan noticed Agunas looking somewhat unsettled and inquired curiously,
"What’s the matter with you?"
"It’s nothing, just a bit worried about Tiraya City’s situation. Although Arnis arrived, I’m unsure if it alone can handle it."
"Arnis actually came? With it here, there’s no need to worry, after all, as a Divine Beast overseeing magical creations, it should definitely be able to handle those Magic Circles."
Glancing at Qi Chen and the others strolling ahead, Feng Yuan remarked in confusion, as this matter should fall squarely within Arnis’s area of expertise. How could there be any issues?
Waving its tail, Agunas shook its head, saying,
"Not so. I’m worried about those guys. Although we didn’t catch them red-handed, it’s certain they’re scheming something. If they take advantage of the situation to go after Arnis..."
"Who are you talking about?"
Feng Yuan scratched his head, sensing something amiss. Catching them red-handed? Is there some troublesome issue with Tiraya City? Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas replied irritably,
"Have you forgotten about that Spirit Beast disguised as me? They dared to do such a thing, so they must have support. Moreover, what is their true purpose?"
"Ah, you’re referring to that, huh? I’m not sure either, but it doesn’t seem like a big issue, does it?"
Thinking it over, Feng Yuan replied; while suspicious, he hadn’t noticed any movement from them even until now. Either they’re not powerful enough, or they’re quietly planning something significant. But what could they be doing? Feng Yuan couldn’t foresee any outcome.
The possibilities are endless, from world destruction to pranks; he doesn’t know what they’re planning. Seeing Agunas troubled, Feng Yuan smiled wryly and said,
"Hey, don’t mind these things. If there are no clues, why not pretend we know nothing? At most, remind the other Divine Beasts to be more vigilant. What if their aim is to keep you on edge for so long that you collapse from the constant tension?"
"You have a point, but what if their goal isn’t that, then wouldn’t it be..."
Staring at Feng Yuan, Agunas spoke concernedly. It considered letting them make the move first, but what if their aim is to destroy the world? Sighing, Feng Yuan responded helplessly,
"Alright, if there’s truly something substantial, do you think there’d be a lack of opportunities? Don’t forget that it’s already established—I don’t believe they could break through my protection. Since the most dangerous possibility is off the table, why worry so much? If those rats want to hide, let’s see them stay concealed forever."
Feng Yuan couldn’t help but sneeze after saying that. Agunas chuckled as it looked at him, saying,
"You have a point, hoping they won’t do anything hazardous during this period."
It was clear Feng Yuan cared deeply for his friends, and what he said was likely true. To destroy this world, getting past Feng Yuan would be an insurmountable hurdle.
Veronia and Belusir approached, looking curiously at Agunas as they asked,
"What’s the matter with you folks? Why stop here, is there something troublesome nearby?"
Speaking, Veronia glanced around. At that time they stood on a main street where the trees on either side shaded the sky. However, the colors of the leaves kept changing; nobody found this strange as Long Boduo was tinkering at the control panel ahead, clearly responsible for the trees’ transformations.
"It’s nothing, just a bit of concern it has."
Smiling, Feng Yuan didn’t expose Agunas. Veronia looked curiously at Agunas, then turned unhappily and said,
"The Little Crocodile constantly worries about the nothingness. It seems to have forgotten it’s the Divine Beast of time, not the Guardian God of the world or the overseer of all order. Do these matters really concern it?"
Laughing, Feng Yuan scratched his head and ran over to Long Boduo with Xiao Ji. Long Boduo was attempting to make the tree leaves’ colors more distinct, and noticing Feng Yuan approaching, Long Boduo eagerly asked him,
"Hey, how do you think these trees should be adjusted to look beautiful?"
"Hmm, well, although there’s no such thing as a texture map, you can still tweak it, right?"
With a gleam in his eyes, Feng Yuan approached and began operating the control panel, occasionally borrowing Xiao Ji’s power. Seeing error messages appear on the control panel, Long Boduo looked at Feng Yuan puzzled, unclear about what he was doing until, after a while, Feng Yuan saw an extra icon appear and with a sly grin said,
"Done. Look, isn’t this the most beautiful tree～"
Holding his smartphone, Feng Yuan connected it to the control panel. Though this wasn’t initially a function, Feng Yuan had tinkered with it before and managed to create some unique things.
As the tree leaves suddenly transformed, merging into photo collections, Agunas looked wordlessly at Feng Yuan at the control panel, unmistakably knowing it was him who caused the trouble. The others certainly didn’t have the ability to meddle with the operations of the Data City.
