Theresa: You're the one possessed!
From the perspective of a schemer, he's a complete novice, not even a half-baked one. You could say he's not that naive, but he's not thoroughly malicious either.
"But...
Since you feel confident you can handle it, then I'll take back what I said.
Meeting Gwen's gaze, Otto smiled and withdrew his unspoken thoughts—
"Of course, as long as I am alive, you are welcome to consult me at any time."
If you find it useful, you are welcome to use Feather of Dust or something else to copy my thoughts or something else after my death, so that I can use it as an advisor.
"You really don't think of yourself as a human being..."
Gwen retorted.
"Ha...
I don't deny that.
After all, I no longer deserve to be called a human being.
Otto laughed loudly.
"He's already showing self-destructive tendencies?"
Gwen an eyebrow.
"No, I just knew I had to die."
Otto's expression returned to calm.
"No matter what contributions I make afterward, I should have no reason to continue living, that's all."
"All right--"
Gwen and Otto exchanged a glance for a moment, then said nothing more.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's change the subject—"
How much work do you have on hand right now?
Actually, there aren't many urgent tasks—
Otto shrugged.
"Right now, the focus is more on cultivating Theresa and Amber— "
Although Stargazer is a very intelligent child, she is more interested in science and wants to become a scientist who investigates things and seeks knowledge than in these political affairs.
Amber, though experienced, is indecisive and prone to overthinking, while Theresa ...
When talking about his beloved granddaughter, Otto paused for a moment before continuing—
"Although she is a smart child, she has become somewhat lazy and impulsive over the years because of my upbringing. She needs to be properly nurtured."
The plan I'm working on is also a modification and correction of their plan.
"Who told you to give her so much Feather of Dust?"
Gwen retorted without giving any face.
"Cough..."
Speaking of this, Otto coughed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and didn't reply, but just smiled at Gwen.
"Alright, since you don't have any urgent work, I'll schedule two shifts for you—"
Gwen spoke, he touched his brow with his fingertip, and with a surge of mental energy, copied a portion of his Remembrance. Finally, his gaze swept over the two A4 sheets beside him, which moved without wind, flashed with light for a moment, and then gently landed on the table in front of Otto.
"As you know, this time when I left Earth, I also went to the edge of the Solar System, brought Griseo back, and made contact with the survivors of the Venusian civilization there, as well as the Core Flame of civilization they created using Previous Civilization technology and genes."
Here is their current situation and some plans. See how you can arrange things, plan the subsequent Venusian revival work, and make arrangements for those Floros people.
In a sense, they are a continuation of Previous Civilization, and they are also Earthlings.
The other document contains some of my encounters on Mars, where the ruins of another civilization also exist, but their form of existence is more unique, and there are more unknowns about them. Take a look at the available information and see if you can guess anything."
Gwen pointed to the two pieces of paper and said—
"If you want to read the information, I suggest you use the feather Fu Hua gave you to do it little by little. You can also tear it open directly, but I guess you won't be able to handle it for a while, as the amount of information is too large."
"..."
Listening to Gwen's information-packed words and seeing this guy who had assigned him a massive amount of work in just a few words, Otto's smile stiffened slightly.
"Cough...
"Is it really okay to entrust me with matters concerning the future of two planets, and even the Solar System?"
"Anyway, you can do it better than me."
Gwen the Bear shrugged, happily acknowledging his shortcomings.
"It might not be difficult for me to destroy the civilizations on two planets, but it's definitely better to leave this kind of thing to you."
"All right..."
Otto sighed softly, pressed the two sheets of paper, which contained a wealth of information, down with a feather, and then said to Gwen with a wistful expression—
"Leave the work to me, you go and keep Bianca and the others company."
I've noticed you two have become closer lately, is that finally progress?
"What tricks have you played this time?"
Gwen narrowed his eyes and asked warily.
"I just inadvertently mentioned your secret efforts to You Lan Dai Er— "
Otto smiled and said—
"After all, she's a straightforward and good girl. Although she's not naive, she doesn't want to think too much."
Given your personalities, I'm afraid there won't be any results before I leave, so of course I have to give you a little push.
After all..."
"Don't hesitate, just focus on your work..."
Gwen suddenly appeared next to Otto, pulled out the paper about Venus, So and Freusa, and slapped it on Otto's forehead, causing Otto to immediately shut down and collapse onto the table.
"While I'm grateful for your wingman's actions in terms of the outcome, seeing that smile on your face still makes me very uncomfortable..."
Gwen clapped his hands, inwardly complaining.
After all, You Lan Dai Er isn't Rita, who can directly predict his actions.
If many things hadn't happened, the honest, Dumb Goose probably wouldn't have even imagined those things would happen.
Otto, on the other hand, told You Lan Dai Er everything, giving her a push and helping Gwen deliver the final blow ahead of time.
Just as Gwen was about to leave, the previously closed door suddenly opened, and a petite figure ran in cheering—
"Grandpa, the shipment has been completed!"
We've shipped it!
However, when Theresa saw Otto slump onto the table with his face buried in his hands, and Gwen standing beside him, the look of surprise on Theresa face turned serious—
"Forehead...
Gwen, you should take care of Grandpa right now...
Seeing this, Theresa subconsciously thought that Gwen had simply carried her grandfather away. Although she had been prepared for Otto to leave, she still couldn't help but feel a great sense of melancholy.
Chapter 772 Theresa: You're the one who's possessed!
"If you would like to be the chief mourner, I can go find you a coffin right now."
Gwen looked at Theresa's shocked yet not so shocked, more melancholy expression, and asked with a straight face.
"I..."
Theresa opened her mouth as if to say something, but looking at Gwen's tense face, and then at Otto lying silently on the table, she finally sighed and said—
"Fine, let's just follow the procedure."
After Grandma... after Kallen was resurrected, Grandpa arranged his own funeral, so we didn't need to worry about it; we just had to follow the plan.
"Well, hopefully Bishop Otto's resurrection at his own funeral won't make the headlines..."
Gwen stroked his chin, pondering—
"However... if it's news of Archbishop of Schicksal Otto's death..."
Maybe we can use it to catch a few fish.
"..."
Theresa blinked, a great deal of confusion showing in her clear eyes—
"Ha?"
"After all, he has only fainted temporarily, and he may wake up in less than a day."
The funeral might be a bit rushed, after all, those schemers might not be on the plane right away...
Gwen continued to ponder the funeral burial plan.
"Grandpa isn't dead?"
Theresa looked at Gwen, who was "talking nonsense," and then at Otto, who was "sleeping soundly," and finally realized the situation.
"Of course he's not dead."
Gwen smiled and nodded.
"Although Bishop Otto has done countless evil deeds, there are still matters that require his intellect, so we certainly can't let him die now—"
Speaking of which, the fact that he's sleeping so soundly has something to do with you—
Bishop Otto worked for several days straight to correct your 'homework,' and I could see he was nearing his mental limit, so I helped him get some sleep.
Taking advantage of Otto's inability to speak now, Gwen can just spout whatever comes to mind.
"Grandpa..."
Upon hearing this, Theresa sighed again, took two steps forward with her short legs, looked at Otto was still frowning even in his sleep, sighed again, and draped the coat on the back of the chair over Otto.
Click—
Theresa heard a strange noise and turned around to see Gwen holding a camera pointed at her.
What are you doing?
Theresa, who had been secretly photographed by naughty students at the St. Freya Academy, habitually glared at Gwen, intending to intimidate him with her authority as the academy principal and force him to hand over the photos.
"Keep a memento."
Gwen waved the camera in his hand—
"Otto probably doesn't have many years left to live. Next time it's his birthday, I'll give him this photo as a birthday present."
"After raising her granddaughter for so many years, she finally knows to care about old Ao, who lives alone..."
"Puff...
What empty-nest old man...
Theresa, who had initially felt a little sad, couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard the last sentence, and her sadness vanished.
"After all, although he took good care of you, he always fed you Feather of Dust, which dulled your clever little brain. You ran off to the Far East Branch and haven't been home for years. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call you an empty nester."
Gwen shrugged and joked.
"Cut..."
Upon hearing "Feather of Dust, "Theresa's face darkened—
Although Otto didn't tell her everything, he did remove some of the Feather of Dust he had previously placed on her, allowing her to learn more.
Upon hearing the name of this Divine Keys, Theresa raised her foot as if to kick Otto twice.
But seeing Otto's uneasy expression, and with all the memories of the past years flooding back, Theresa ultimately didn't kick him.
"By the way Theresa, the Feather of Dust on you should be removed by now, right?"
Gwen put away his camera and asked.
