Chapter 409: Heading to Villiduo
Qiong Jiu's worries are not unfounded.
That night.
Two Legendary Ships arrived at Wind Dove City.
Arranged by the Anomaly Bureau General Office in Wind Dove City, the Legendary Ship docked outside the port.
There's enough space to dock there.
With Baiyu having the Third Prince's guarantee, naturally Jian Linyue had no objections to Erza's docking.
In fact.
A permanently stationed Legendary Ship is a favorable state for a city.
The Legendary Ship not only provides security to the city.
It also reassures those coming to the city for business, promoting economic prosperity.
However.
Jian Linyue also knows.
Neither the Third Prince nor Baiyu could stay long in Wind Dove City.
Even if they remain in the south of the Imperial.
They would surely go to Haiqing County's County City, the economic center of the entire Imperial south, Villiduo.
This is the largest city in the south.
And the most prosperous place.
Wind Dove City compared to Villiduo, at best is considered a larger city, with no real comparison between the two.
"Celebration feast?"
Within the Anomaly Bureau in Wind Dove City.
Baiyu looks at Qiong Jiu in surprise, and couldn't help but say, "That's not necessary. I didn't exert effort or make contributions this trip.
Why go through so much trouble."
Qiong Jiu said helplessly, "This is a tradition of our family, those old antiques find it hard to change quickly. If you don't want to go, I can cancel it for you."
"Actually, the celebration feast isn't unjustified. After all, without Baiyu this time, I wouldn't even know if I could come back alive."
Beside.
Shangguan Zi smiles, holding a tea cup.
Baiyu ignores the courteous remarks and instead tells Qiong Jiu, "I think since Qiong Family just moved to Wind Dove City, most main efforts must focus on development.
Too many minutiae, there's no need to be so cumbersome.
When Qiong Yue left, she asked me to look after the Qiong Family, I will care for them where my ability allows.
You can tell the clan elders of the Qiong Family not to be too formal."
Qiong Jiu nods.
Baiyu's thoughts align closely with hers.
"Indeed, development, for a family the most important is stability. Whatever Qiong Family currently lacks, you can tell me.
Not to mention.
In Haiqing County, in Villiduo, Wind Dove City, I still have some resources."
The Third Prince chimes in timely.
Qiong Jiu and Jian Linyue are surprised, giving him a glance.
The Third Prince's words are surprising.
A dignified Prince.
Actually cares about the development of a family like that.
Apparently on the other side, he really valores Baiyu, or he absolutely wouldn't make such a move.
Of course.
They don't know.
In the Third Prince's heart, Baiyu is now one who defeated giants, slew the progeny of the Evil God, holds innumerable secrets, carrying out a secret mission reincarnated as an ancient powerful figure.
So.
What she needs to do now is take good care of this ancient powerful figure.
Especially when the other's memory hasn't fully recovered.
Once their memory recovers, even a casual assistance can make her rise instantly.
This thought.
Baiyu is also unaware of.
After all.
He also didn't know Shangguan Zi would see him as an ancient master figure.
He merely has more peculiar things.
...
Inside the meeting room.
Baiyu declines the Qiong Family's celebration banquet, then starts handling his own affairs.
Now the school is broken.
He theoretically should continue studying to finish his academic credits.
Besides, nowhere else offers access to such a wealth of knowledge as school.
"By the way, the invitation you mentioned to me, what is it? My academic credits aren't finished, other things are troublesome to do."
Baiyu looks at Shangguan Zi.
"An invitation from Villiduo, the inviter is the Veterans Mutual Aid Association, this job should suit you.
It's relatively leisurely.
And allows you appropriate access to many mystiques."
The Third Prince recommends.
Right now Baiyu surely needs an identity to rationally cover his actions, and must access mystical knowledge.
Veterans Mutual Aid Association.
Don't be fooled by the rustic name, it's a very powerful entity in Villiduo.
Its purpose is to serve those veterans who retired from the Second Celestial Essence War, handling veterans' affairs.
These gathered veterans form quite a formidable force.
"Then I'll check it out another day.
By the way, will my academic credits be retained while working there?
And, does the Veterans Mutual Aid Association have a library?
I personally love spending idle time in libraries."
Baiyu asks.
Shangguan Zi shows a knowing expression, "Rest assured, your records and academic credits will be preserved, and within the Veterans Mutual Aid Association are plenty of books recording wars and various tribe information, though I don't know if it'll be useful to you."
"Then it's decided that way."
Baiyu says.
He's currently stuck in Tier Seven without breakthroughs, and should go out to find ways. Perhaps at the Veterans Mutual Aid Association, he can find clues.
Of course.
This is just one reason Baiyu agrees.
Another reason.
Is because Pang Fei contacted him by phone, the Veterans Mutual Aid Association was his arrangement.
Very fortunate.
When Linjiang City was destroyed, most people moved to Linjiang Shelter, Pang Fei wasn't caught up in any major issues.
He's always been with the military.
Moreover, he retired from the second Celestial Essence War, knowing many figures in the military.
This Veterans Mutual Aid Association.
Is a job where one can meet many important figures.
Baiyu intends to start doing it first.
Anyway.
He needs a safe environment to find his future path and explore the Dream Realm.
The Veterans Mutual Aid Association job is a good cover.
After this.
Perhaps many Imperial high-ups will notice him.
The Third Prince's political foes, demons hidden among humans and different tribes, these are troubles.
And the military identity.
Can effectively avoid these troubles.
...
"Erza I'll leave in Wind Dove City, just right for upkeep by the Qiong Family. It shouldn't be easy for a Legendary Ship to enter Villiduo?"
Legendary Ships generally operate within the Spirit Realm.
Legendary Ships active in the real world have to stay fixed in one region, since they are super destructive weapons.
And each operator has some issues.
Constantly enduring the Legendary Ship's pollution.
Even those with steadfast resolve can't resist the erosion.
"I'll arrange the itinerary.
Villiduo is a metropolis of the south, its importance can even compare to Kyoto.
Developing here is a suitable choice."
Shangguan Zi says.
Soon.
Under Jian Linyue's arrangement, two steam train tickets are handed to Baiyu.
Shangguan Zi changes into ordinary attire, with a mask on her face, taking the steam train heading to Villiduo together with Baiyu.
"You actually take the steam train too? I thought Jian Linyue would arrange a private car for you."
Baiyu is very surprised.
Shangguan Zi, in contrast, isn't fazed and laughs lightly, "Steam train, besides airship, is the fastest way to reach Villiduo.
Moreover.
My identity, entering Villiduo would bring many troublesome matters."
