It's hard to say for sure. Jarilo-VI has Sampo, Xianzhou Luofu has Phantylia, Penacony is even more of a heavyweight, so they don't need much introduction.
Just as she was about to leave the nearly abandoned milk tea shop on March 7th, she suddenly caught a glimpse of silver light out of the corner of her eye, which immediately captivated her.
With the protection of [ Eternity ] Milk Tea, March 7th walked over without hesitation.
result--
Well, nothing to show for it!
"Strange, is it just my imagination...?" March 7th frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.
So, on March 7th, I took out my camera and conducted a thorough search of the shop.
"Damn it, I can't find anything! In novels, shouldn't the protagonist stumble into a mysterious shop and discover some kind of opportunity?!"
"Alas~ In the end, I have misplaced my trust." March 7th left the place dejectedly.
However, just a few steps into the shop on March 7th, a bright silver starlight streaked across the sky once again in a rather dark corner.
At the same time, Xing relayed the information he obtained from Aglaea, as well as the agreement they had reached, to Dan Heng.
"I never expected her only concern would be that we spread 'milk tea' rumors among the public..."
Dan Heng was also puzzled. If he had known it was like this, he should have shown Aglaea the Church's soap; otherwise, it simply didn't make sense.
What could possibly mean that a seemingly ordinary cup of milk tea could cause such concern among the leaders of the " Chrysos Heirs "?
"However, her reaction was exactly the same as Phainon's in Abyss of Fate."
"This world is indeed somewhat strange. Even in a closed-off place like Jarilo-VI, the locals have a basic understanding of space, and even know about Path and the Aeon."
"But in Amphoreus, the sky is more like... a prison, silent about the outside world, even guarding against a cup of milk tea, despite having such advanced technology..."
This is what Dan Heng and Xing find most incomprehensible, and also the most suspicious. Who in their right mind would be wary of milk tea?
"Do you remember that chaotic ignorance that shrouded the world? I've always had a feeling that Amphoreus was sealed off by someone. Those Titan in mythology might also be connected to 'a certain Aeon '."
"Well, you can actually just say it's Ye Yan's; those who know, know."
Afterwards, the [ Trailblaze ] team reunited at the Cloud Stone Market and exchanged some information.
"Sigh~ Without Teacher Ye Yan's milk tea, who's going to make up for my daily sweet drinks?"
March 7th pursed her lips. Could it be that the priestess was behind it all? They couldn't reveal the existence of the [ Eternity ] faction so quickly.
"Also, regarding milk tea as taboo... something feels a bit off, doesn't it?"
"Indeed." Xing and Dan Heng could not refute it.
Just then, a familiar, childish voice came from behind the three of them, Tribbie ran over to their side.
"It's nice to meet you again, distinguished guests!"
"Speaking of which, you've talked to Aya, right? How did it go?"
"We have reached an agreement with her."
"Haha~ I'm glad everything went smoothly." Tribbie put her hands on her hips. "Seriously speaking, 'we' all feel that the arrival of the three of you in... cough cough, in Okhema was no accident."
"A priest who can resonate with Oronyx right away—this is the first time Teacher Tribbie has ever seen one. Guild it, you'll be able to move freely in Amphoreus... well, basically."
"Oh right, I almost forgot the important matter... We've come to find you two to confirm if you have the communication tablet. Without it, it's impossible to move an inch in Okhema."
"The communication stone tablet...?"
Xing muttered to herself as she pulled out her phone, "Is this what you mean?"
"That's it! So, even the outer city-states have priests from Janusapolis!"
"Let me see... The appearance Ena, but the functions are similar. Maybe it can resonate... Hmm..."
Tribbie took the phone, did a few simple operations, and occasionally glanced at the milk tea pendant on it.
"Mission accomplished! From now on, 'we' can communicate with each other through the stone tablets. However, this is only possible within the city of Okhema. Once we leave the golden thread woven by Aya, the rumors will have no effect."
"This is really... surprising."
"Hehe~ You don't think of 'us' as some kind of ignorant cavemen, do you?"
"Actually, it's mainly the second half of the sentence..."
March 7th gave an awkward smile. It seemed that Aglaea was a human signal tower, something she had never imagined!
"The three of you may use the currency you brought with you at will. The scales of Talanton will weigh the value of everything, so there's no need to worry about being penniless and unable to live in the Holy City."
" Titan, how amazing..."
"Yes," Tribbie nodded, " Titan, aren't they amazing?"
"I'll go take care of other things now. See you later, have fun!"
"... There are just too many illogical things."
Dan Heng rubbed his chin. Although the camera had the same communication tools as a mobile phone and was fully equipped with a camera, the people here called it a 'photo slab'.
Sigh~ He no longer wanted to analyze the naming conventions of these locals.
"By the way, March 7th, could you repeat the characteristics of that milk tea shop?"
"Hmm... the decor is very similar to Teacher Ye Yan's milk tea shop. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a local ghost story from Amphoreus. We've even thought of a name: 'The Non-Existent Milk Tea Shop'!"
Led by March 7th, Xingjiu Dan Heng arrived at this seemingly abandoned but actually quite remarkable shop.
"They really do look alike."
Having served as a temporary store manager for a day, Xing was naturally very familiar with Ye Yan's milk tea shop; judging from the appearance alone, it was practically identical.
Stepping into the unattended milk tea shop, Xing gripped the hourglass necklace tightly and first sensed the [ Eternity ] element of the place.
The hourglass necklace didn't react. Xing turned to look at March 7th. " March 7th, you can put your worries aside now."
"It's too early to draw conclusions..."
Squeak--!
As Dan Heng was speaking, the tightly closed wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and to everyone's surprise, it was Phainon who appeared there!
"Huh? This isn't right!" March 7th was stunned.
"It's you...?" Dan Heng was slightly taken aback, quite surprised by Phainon's appearance.
"Hmm~ It seems we really are destined to be together."
Xing nodded in satisfaction. Phainon was equally surprised to see the three of them, and the group remained silent for a long time.
Finally, Phainon's "What a coincidence!" broke the deadlock, explaining the whole story of the milk tea shop to the three clueless people...
"Let me sort this out... Did you establish this milk tea shop when you were a child, inspired by a traveling merchant in your hometown?"
Dan Heng's lips twitched; he seemed to know the true identity of that 'traveling merchant'.
"Um."
"The senior you mentioned... what's your surname?"
After thinking carefully for a moment, Phainon replied, "Your name... seems to be Lycurgus."
