"Neh~"
The purple Rubik's Cube, which Qiong had been holding in her hand as a stress-relieving toy, climbed onto his shoulder and started bouncing around, seemingly wanting to join the conversation.
However, no one could understand what she was saying, including Qiong, who still couldn't understand the little guy's babbling.
No one paid any attention to him, but the little guy wasn't discouraged. He just kept babbling along with Qiong.
"Oh no, oh no."
March 7th watched as the little one would make two "ne-ne" sounds after each time Qiong repeated her words, imitating her perfectly, and couldn't help but frown.
She stretched out her index finger and poked the smooth surface of the purple Rubik's Cube.
"Little guy, you're not allowed to repeat yourself! I already have enough of two tape recorders on the train. If I raise a mini tape recorder like you, my daily train journey will turn into a tape recorder hell."
She used a coaxing tone for a baby to educate her about the dangers of repeating a grade.
If she develops this habit...
She'll have a lot to deal with having three people on the train who can repeat themselves all the time.
"Woolen cloth?"
The purple cube rolled around in March 7's hand, tilting its head as if asking, "Why?"
Besides the dome, this little guy also seems to be able to see and touch March 7th.
If an ordinary person touches March 7th with more than a certain amount of force, they will pass right through it. Ordinary contact can achieve this, but it will not affect their senses.
No one can see her, and she has no way to directly interfere with anyone, but she can leave traces.
Qiong Guan calls her state a meme body.
As the name suggests, the body is in a meme state.
Qiong looked at San Yueqi, who was giving the little guy early childhood education, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"To some extent, I do really enjoy inventing and creating."
Invent some small toys that can be used in bed and create new ways to play with Xingbao.
"I also really enjoy watching people invent and create."
This Tirispius also appears to be an inventor.
Small explosions frequently occur here, so unless Tirispius blows up the library, the guards probably won't come over.
It's a pity she only has one personality. If she had more, she might be able to get along with Velvi.
They were all great inventors with schizophrenia.
"Do you enjoy watching people invent and create?"
"Yes, there's a kind of joy in waiting for the fruit to grow and be harvested."
So said the old slave owner, Qiong.
Tirispius couldn't understand the meaning of Dora's words, and gave a polite smile.
Once they were sure no guards would come, the atmosphere of the conversation became more relaxed and comfortable.
Tirispius's smile became even more genuine.
She was very happy.
This is probably the first time in ten years since my mother left...
She can speak freely and share her thoughts like an ordinary person, without the shackles of her saintly status or the burden of political tasks.
Qiong's behavior was nothing like that of a mysterious being related to Titans; he was more like a big boy with a quirky thought process and unconventional words and actions.
"Huh, why are there so many geographical records of various city-states piled up on the bookshelf? And all sorts of documents on the origins and development of Titan worship?"
Qiong casually pulled out a thick book, "Eastern Border Customs and Scenery," from the bookshelf next to her and began flipping through it.
"This is in preparation for the journey to chase the fire."
Tirispyos carefully gathered the scrolls scattered around Qiong to make more space for him, while explaining.
"To deliver the oracle of Cephalo to the ends of the earth, we must have to travel a very long way, so I want to learn about the local customs and traditions beforehand."
"You've read it all?"
Qiong looked at the red-haired beauty in surprise.
If it were him in his teens or middle school, he would have fallen asleep within three pages.
"You've read through so many papers, that's too much!"
March 7th also gasped in shock.
She only ever looked at maps in geography books; as for geographical records, the all-knowing Mr. Danheng would naturally take care of that.
She once held a geography book in her arms and spent an entire day stuck on the first page.
abandon...
"I remember when I was little, my mother would read these to me as bedtime stories."
Tirispius's eyes softened, filled with nostalgia.
"In her words, the dry geography became a fascinating adventure legend, enough to paint a picture of a rich continent of Onpharos in my little dreams."
She gently stroked the spine of the book, her voice lowered.
"It wasn't until I actually read these scrolls that I realized they weren't interesting at all."
"So, the first step of your journey to seek fire is to travel all over Onphalus and deliver the oracle of Kephalus to various countries?"
Qiong weighed the heavy book in his hand and asked.
"Yes."
"What a simple and effective method."
March 7th couldn't help but complain.
To travel the entire planet on foot or something.
"When will this be?!"
"By the time you spread the prophecy to every corner of the world, won't you be a white-haired old woman yourself?"
Qiong glanced at her.
As expected of you, Ah Qi!
Transforming into a repeating machine, Qiong optimizes and relays the doubts of March 7th.
Upon hearing Qiong's optimized words, March 7th scratched his head sheepishly.
She's just a bit too direct.
"I……"
Tirispius hesitated for a moment, then parted her red lips slightly.
"Before setting off, I will obtain Janus's fire and become a demigod. By using the authority of the god of gateways, I can greatly shorten the journey and the time required."
This was a plan she had been developing in her mind for many years.
The flame of Janus is enshrined in the Janus Treasury, the most central part of the sacred site.
The gateway lies in the heart of Titan.
If it were discovered that she was attempting to steal fire, no one would be able to protect her; she would be immediately executed by the Senate.
Therefore, it must be kept secret.
Tirispius never spoke of it to anyone.
Qiong was the first person to hear about her plan.
After all, Qiong has a close relationship with Oronis, and is not a member of the temple or the Senate.
Secondly, Qiong just said she would help her on her journey to pursue fire.
And Tirispeius does indeed need help.
For her to sneak into the treasure vault and steal the fire by herself would be a near-certain death.
Once exposed, there will be no second chance.
Have you made up your mind?
After so much talk therapy, the information collected is enough for Qiong to initially establish a personality model of Tirispius.
Beneath her beautiful and mature exterior lies a pure and innocent heart, nurtured by books and faith, and isolated from the world's pollution by high walls.
And, a true idealist.
Come to think of it, how complicated could her thoughts be after being under house arrest for twenty years?
She was neither a chosen saint of extraordinary wisdom nor a saint of selfless love.
Otherwise, Qiong would have to suspect that a powerful force behind Onpharos was pulling the strings.
Even Tirispius could not be completely certain whether the prophecy was true or false.
What supported her actions was her unconditional trust in her mother.
Along with faith in the Titans, there was also a slight yearning to escape the Temple of the Triads.
as well as.
She wanted to shoulder this heavy responsibility.
While divine pronouncements may not be true, no one can disprove them, right?
Eulonis said the oracle was false, but the Titan she worshipped, Janus, supported the fire-seeking.
If we stand idly by when we can do something, then the future will be filled with regret.
In the first phase, we declared that nothing was wrong.
In the second phase, we say that something might happen, but no action should be taken.
In the third stage, perhaps we could have done something back then, but now it's too late.
Her actions can be considered a saturation rescue.
"Yes, I've made up my mind."
Tirispius nodded vigorously.
The world-ending black tide has arrived, and she would rather make a mistake than do nothing.
Besides, even if things get worse, can they be worse than the end of the world?
Qiong met those blue eyes that resembled flower patterns and smiled.
He stood with one foot on the stool, holding the purple cube with the word "ne" in one hand and extending his finger.
"Okay, I'll help you!"
Based on my current understanding of Tirispeius, Qiong is 100% certain.
Without me, the other party would inevitably encounter tremendous setbacks and hardships once they begin to pursue the fire.
Having been under house arrest since childhood, she severely lacks basic understanding and knowledge of the world.
Her entire understanding of the world came from idealized books.
The knowledge in books is vastly different from reality!
This is something that any adult who has gone from school to the workforce understands.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a double reversal.
Tirispyos' impulsive departure will definitely lead to her being brutally beaten down by the harsh realities of society to the point of questioning her existence.
This reminded Qiong of Funinna.
You may know the road ahead will be difficult when you set off, but only when you are truly pricked and bleeding by the thorns of reality will you understand what kind of path you have embarked on.
Before they even understand what fate is, they are repeatedly crushed by the heavy wheels of fate.
If she were to naively run off to those kings and preach some divine prophecy... Qiong could almost foresee the outcome.
