Jarilo-VI, Outlying Snow Plains
"Sigh~ There's nothing to envy. It's just a stroke of good luck. Besides, it's not exactly an easy job. You still have to run around between different star systems and be driven by the work."
"Looking at it this way, the work at the Church seems so much easier! Whether it's Screwllum or the priestess, you can see them everywhere," March 7th said, further strengthening her resolve to travel to the Church of Eternity!
"If you remove the 'business' part, your job description seems pretty much the same as the Astral Express Crew's!"
Xing had never been to the Interastral Peace Corporation, so he couldn't join the conversation at all.
Even someone as powerful as Galactic Baseballer has weaknesses. Despite being Nameless from the [ Trailblaze ], her vision seems rather narrow...
" Jarilo-VI managed to establish contact with the company so quickly, and even started discussing cooperation... That's fast, as expected of Bronya!"
"Haha~ The details of this collaboration might Ena from what you're thinking... But I agree with the second half of that statement. That [ Supreme Guardian ] is indeed very skilled at governing the city. My main purpose in coming here is to meet her."
Topaz suddenly realized something. "Ah, Miss March 7th just said you're rushing to attend the Belobog festival, right?"
"I'm so sorry, my colleague and I kept you on your way," she said apologetically.
"It's alright, it's alright," March 7th replied politely. "We're not in a hurry. Without a lot of snow, it's less likely we'll get lost, and the temperature has warmed up considerably."
March 7th recalled their first arrival in Jarilo-VI; even with the protection of [ Trailblaze ], they could not withstand the chill of the Eternal Freeze.
"By the way, aren't you coming into town with us?"
"Thank you for your concern, we're fine! My colleague and I are visiting this planet for the first time, and we wanted to take a closer look at the iconic ancient architecture first."
"If our connection is strong enough, we might even bump into each other at the festival," Topaz said, pulling out his phone. "Here, this is my contact information."
I usually don't reply to messages while I'm working, but we can chat more after get off work~
Upon hearing this, March 7th narrowed his eyes, his shoulders trembling slightly with laughter. "Wow, he got the company executive's number without even lifting a finger..."
"Any projects with 8 billion Credits? I'd like to invest!"
"Huh? Nobody would believe that!" March 7th rolled his eyes. Xing's assets weren't so great that he could easily throw out eight billion Credits.
"Haha~" Topaz laughed, "That's great, I really envy your relaxed and harmonious atmosphere~ Well, we'll be going now, see you later!"
Topaz left with his company employees without looking back.
"Two groups of people spanning the entire galaxy actually met by chance... Star, fate is truly amazing."
"Speaking of [fate], I have a corny joke for you. Want to hear it?"
Xing tried to use his newfound knowledge, never expecting that the lame joke about " Shut Up " would come in handy at this moment, but unfortunately, March 7th politely declined.
"Let's go, this time we're really going into the city!"
"Wow, this place is so noisy! Where has this brought me? Is it still the Jarilo-VI I Remembrance?"
Silver Wolf took off her sunglasses; the Administrative District had changed so much that she almost didn't recognize it.
Not long ago, Ye Yan made a decision that went against his principles, taking her back to the land of Jarilo-VI.
Since the ultimate goal is to slack off, it doesn't matter where you slack off.
"Wait, why do I have this strong sense of déjà vu? What was that again? Hmm..."
Silver Wolf's delicate body trembled, her pupils suddenly contracted, or a thought flashed through her mind like lightning.
"Wait... this... isn't this the style of Church decor?!"
Seeing that Silver Wolf was slow to realize what was happening and was too shocked to speak, Ye Yan felt that this girl cared about the Church even more than He did.
Sure enough, she still couldn't forget the Church of Eternity.
The biggest change in the Administrative District is the new statue next to the [ Everwinter Monument ], which stands majestically in the center of the empty square, nameless and silent, only called [ Eternity ] by people.
It does not rely on a solemn and dignified posture, nor does it depend on a static and unchanging form; its mystery lies in its ceaseless transformation and flow.
The body, sculpted from meteorite iron provided by the Church, was silently melting, expanding, and shrinking like flowing water.
"What a pity, I thought it would be a sculpture with a soap bar on its head," Silver Wolf said with a hint of regret.
Sure enough, she still couldn't forget the Church soap.
Feeling the festive atmosphere of the Administrative District, Ye Yan also spotted a friend he had met a few times before— Gepard.
" Mr. Ye Yan, and Miss Silver Wolf?"
Upon seeing the unexpected visitor, Gepard was stunned for a few seconds before quickly regaining his composure. "Ahem... Welcome back to Belobog."
" The Supreme Guardian said that a mysterious guest would be coming to participate in the Paskonja Festival celebrations... I never imagined she was referring to the entire Astral Express Crew."
Silver Wolf frowned slightly. Had the garrison officer automatically assigned her to the [ Astral Express ] group? Come to think of it, Gepard didn't seem to know about the [ Stellaron Hunters ].
"I hope your journey is smooth. It was my dereliction of duty not to send Silvermane Guards to greet you..."
"No need to apologize, we were just passing by, no need to be so respectful."
Gepard nodded and reminded them, "Understood. I hope you enjoy the festive atmosphere... but please be careful. Pickpockets in town like to target places like this, so please take good care of your personal belongings."
"Speaking of which... are the Silvermane Guards getting used to the improved weapons? If they're not comfortable with them, just let us know, consider it free after-sales service."
"Ah, Mr. Ye Yan, you've gone to so much trouble! The weapon you modified is perfectly fine!"
The only downside is that all the monsters in Jarilo-VI were wiped out by Blake's burst of holy light, leaving not a trace, so these weapons are rarely of any use.
When was that stone sculpture completed?
From a distance, the only stable feature of this sculpture, named " Eternity," is its foundation.
The base, firmly rooted deep in the earth, is so ancient that it seems to have merged with the earliest cracks in the earth's crust. It gleams with a dark, inky light, and no matter how the enormous shapes on it change and transform, it remains unchanged and steadfast.
"Hmm... On the third day after everyone left, a red-haired young man arrived in Belobog, claiming to be the top architect of the [ Church of Eternity ], specifically to assist us in rebuilding the Administrative District."
" The Church has this position? I've never heard of it before."
Silver Wolf turned to look at Ye Yan; she had reason to suspect that this was Blake had hired from outside.
"Actually, he's the Grand Master of the Knights," Ye Yan explained. "It's ridiculous, isn't it? The Knights, who are in charge of military affairs, also have considerable expertise in architecture."
It's hard to believe that this building was completed in just a few days. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was an original building from Jarilo-VI. The Church of Eternity is truly comprehensive.
With this skill, it would be a shame not to join [ The Architects ].
