"Perhaps. But whenever a stage model appeared in your teacher's hands, it meant a grand play was about to begin. Now it seemed that I might be part of the play as well," the Root said.
"But Auntie, you seemed to have accepted reality already?"
"Eh, what else could I do besides accept it? At most, I'm just a supporting character anyway. Besides, if your teacher has taken my puppet off the stage now, perhaps it means my mission has already been completed." The Root waved a hand.
Besides, the Root was only a projection now. Even if what happened in Penacony became huge, could it possibly implicate her true body?
And although the title of Puppeteer was inseparable from domination, she definitely would not be the unlucky one.
Still, the fact that all of her actions were under observation truly was not something just anyone could accept.
But fortunately, the Root was not human.
"My teacher did mention that she wanted to set up a trial ground for me in Penacony. Maybe it had something to do with this," Chen Luo said.
"Whatever. When soldiers came, generals would block them; when water came, earth would dam it. Since it's a trial ground, and you're the one being tested, it probably won't be anything excessive."
Besides, the Root and the Puppeteer had quite a good relationship.
But having a good relationship did not mean they would not screw each other over. There was a kind of friend... called a bad influence.
"I'm not worried. I just don't know what kind of trial is waiting for me," Chen Luo said.
"Nothing will happen anyway. Still, I wonder whether Penacony has any native beings worthy of your teacher's attention. They might even get a chance to be brought to the Dimensional Sea,"
