-"Let's talk about upgrading Furious Moon."
That was exactly what Yu Xunge had in mind!
The way she envisioned it, she would arrive, exchange a few words, and Beaver Duke would decisively upgrade [Furious Moon] for her, the rising star of the Star Sea. Then she would leave. Quick, clean, and efficient!
There was no need to play out some fairy tale at all...
What kind of fairy tale had such creepy letters in it?
She said this silently to [Furious Moon]. Ever since Beaver Duke had snapped at it, the lantern had been sending her sobbing sounds.
Beaver Duke, who was setting down her teacup, cast her a casual glance and asked, "If you were to set a trial or restriction on your Godly Relic to prevent someone it acknowledged, but whom you didn't approve of, from using its complete form, what would you do?"
What she described was indeed quite possible. The successors Godly Relics chose often matched some quality of the relic, but they did not necessarily suit their creators' tastes. Quite often, similar people repelled one another instead.
A strong-willed person would not necessarily approve of another strong-willed person, and someone with a strong desire for control might only accept those willing to be controlled.
Yu Xunge lightly touched the collar around her neck. She simply assumed Beaver Duke had seen through the nature of this Godly Relic of hers. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Make all the people in the painting turn their backs to anyone looking in from outside?"
Beaver Duke considered that nightmarish image and could not help asking, "Where do you get the nerve to call my fairy tale creepy?"
Yu Xunge said, "...Why are you eavesdropping on my private conversation with Furious Moon?"
Beaver Duke skipped over that accusation
