579 - - Let'S Drink 579 Times.
I'll see you later."
At the door, I greet my mother with a deep bow. Since I came to Agartha, I have nothing but gratitude for my mother. However, not feeling comfortable to thank her face to face, Serloitte tried to show her appreciation in her own way, at least by doing the things that her mother had been repeating to her since she was a child.
Her mother did not say anything, but simply bowed her head and sent her off without hesitation. At first glance, she did not seem to care about her daughter, but she herself knew better than anyone that this was not the case. She was grateful for her mother's silent attention to her in this way.
We left the room and proceeded down the corridor. I still feel flustered, but I am eager to continue my research. First of all, I have to have a meeting with Mr. Meilius and Mr. Considine. She begins to ruminate over the contents of her report to them in her mind.
She goes down the stairs to the basement. In one of the rooms in the basement, there is a transfer boundary that leads to the room where the Friendship Flowers are kept. This is considered a secret, and only the king of Agartha, Rinos, Queen Meirias, Considie, and Seruloit know about the warding of the room.
They knew from reading books that the warding skill had a transfer effect, but they did not expect that anyone had actually mastered it. In Cerulloit's mind, warding was supposed to be used by an old man who had mastered the skill of warding, but in fact, King Agartha, a young man not much older than himself, had demonstrated the warding without a second thought. The moment he saw this skill, Serloit knew intuitively that this country and this king should not be enemies. Surely, this king has the ability to destroy the world. At the same time, he felt a strange sense of security. The king's expression of apparent gentleness was not fearful, but rather, it gave me a sense of hope for the future.
The king of Agartha said only one word to Seruloit, "Please keep this transitional boundary a secret. There was not the slightest hint of doubt in his expression. As a proof, he smiled and said that he was sure you would be fine. I had no intention of saying such a thing, and it was easy to imagine that if I did, it would cause many difficult problems. In such a situation, King Agartha's statement made Serloito feel that he was trusted by the king with such skill. At this moment, she decided to be of service to the country at all costs.
As she was going down the stairs to the basement, Serloitte suddenly remembered Jannoly's smile. Yesterday, she had received a gift of sympathy from a messenger. I must thank her. But I also have to talk to Master Meilius and Master Considine ....... Serloitte stops and thinks.
"......"
She found herself beginning to walk up the stairs she had originally come from. She knew intuitively that she should thank him before her meeting with them.
She left the building and headed straight for the canvas of Agalta University. There was a stop for a horse-drawn carriage.
The University of Agalta, which bears the name of a comprehensive university, had built several canvases outside of the city, because the canvases inside the city could not accommodate the students who had gathered there in the beginning. The farm where Yannoli usually worked was located near the forest of Lunois, just outside the north gate.
It took about 30 minutes by horse-drawn carriage to reach the farm from this stop. If I went to Yannoli's, greeted him, and came back immediately, I would be able to have a meeting with them in the morning. They must be busy people. When I go to the laboratory now, I don't think anyone will be there. I should greet them first. Serloitte said to herself and got into the carriage.
The old Cat-Beastmaster stares at him. She bows her head slowly to the man. As if this were a signal, the carriage starts to move slowly.
Few people leave this canvas for the farm. Therefore, Serloitte has always been able to spend some time alone in the carriage. The coachman was also silent, and she had never exchanged a word with him before. They got in, bowed, and the carriage started moving, stopping when it reached the farm. She bows to the man and gets off. The carriage returns to the capital, but two hours later it returns to the farm exactly where it is waiting for Serloitte's return.
The carriage rumbles along on the cobblestones. The roads are beautifully maintained, and there is a clear distinction between the paths for people and the paths for carriages. The construction of such a functional fortress city shows the high national power of Agartha.
Serloito liked to look at the city from the window of his car. People from all walks of life come and go on the streets, and the stores are filled with a wide variety of goods. Seeing them, his heart was naturally filled with excitement. I was told that this area was the place where many people lost their lives during the invasion of the Lamarong Kingdom a few years ago. During that time, houses were burned down and this area was left in ruins. Although it is hard to believe from the current prosperity, Agartha has recovered from that devastation at a remarkable speed and is now thriving. I am sure that the Grand Duchy of Faual will be even more prosperous if it joins hands with Agartha. If possible, I would like to learn how to build a city .......
The carriage passes through the north gate. The scenery changes drastically. The bustling landscape is replaced by forests and wide open spaces. Serloitte liked the big gap between the two.
Soon, a white building came into view through the car window. We had arrived at the farm of Agalta University.
"Soon,...... soon, I'll be back."
"......"
At Serloitte's words, the driver stared at her and nodded slowly. They hurriedly got out of the carriage and headed for Yannoli's farm.
He was soon spotted. He was standing in the middle of the field, looking up to the sky.
"Oh, um, ......"
Jannoly slowly turned his attention to Serloitte, who called out to him. He had an expression of disappointment on his face.
"Ah, come in. How are you feeling? ......"
"I'm fine. I just wanted to thank you ...... for the ...... sheenings you gave me."
He smiled kindly and nodded slowly. I looked down and saw that there were some devoured sheeng nuts scattered around.
"Koku, koku, what's this ......?"
It was the ferry rats.
"Ferry rat."
They are omnivorous rodents that eat not only fruits but also leaves and stems if left unchecked. However, since these rats eat only delicious things, the fruits they bite off prove to be delicious, making them a difficult animal for farmers to deal with.
The sheengs made by Mr. Yannoli were very tasty. I can understand why the ferry rats eat them.
I tried to think of such a thing in my mind, but no words came out. Besides, Yannoli is sitting there, staring at the sheeng berries.
"The berries have been ...... pretty much eaten ....... We were so close to harvesting them. ....... And this much fruit has been eaten. We can assume that there are quite a few rats in the area. Now, we have to take measures against rats. Oh dear. ......"
Yannoli sighed loudly, his eyes swimming in the wrong direction. It was easy to imagine that the other fruits he had grown had also been damaged. The fruit he had worked so hard to grow and was about to harvest had been damaged. His shock was understandable.
Without thanking him, Serloitte left the place. On the carriage ride home, she wondered if there was anything she could do to prevent the ferirat. Then an idea occurred to her: .......
