Because Russell was going to Yongquan Island tonight to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the monkey-faced eagle.

So after hearing the wolf's request, Russell thought for a moment.

"Good strategy, but I'd like to tweak it a little."

"What?"

"No, nothing. It's just that I have something to do with the delphinium now, Russell said with a chuckle, glancing at the delphinium sitting next to him.

The delphinium noticed Russell's gaze, and she grinned and leaned down on the table, tilting her head to look at Russell. Her ears were pricked up and the other was pulled, and the erected ear was still trembling slightly.

Seeing her reaction, Wolf Yan's eyebrows raised slightly, and he stopped talking, "What are you guys...... Are you going to meet your parents?"

"I'm an orphan."

Russell replied without hesitation, "There are no parents to take Flody to meet."

Although the sheath is not dead, it will be sooner or later. So it can also be counted as dead in advance.

「…… Flody?"

Wolf Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was referring to Delphinch.

His expression was a little subtle: "Have you all reached the point of exchanging your real names?"

According to the custom of Happy Island, real names are basically exchanged between family members..... because the code name symbolizes the entire social identity of the other party, and calling the real name is to break this social identity. Therefore, calling oneself by one's real name is a rather unceremonious gesture, and it can be used as a demeaning term, or between close brothers, roughly like someone's nickname; Calling each other by their real name is usually not much different from calling each other "wife" directly.

Although the delphinium is often called "Russell" instead of "ultramarine", it is the first time that Russell has called the delphinium Flotty in front of an inferior person.

This means a change in attitude – more credible than if they were to make an official announcement in front of the camera.

"We're already planning to get married, and we're engaged tomorrow. This time I'm going to meet Russell's mentor."

"To Russell, he was the closest to Russell among the elders who were still alive in the world," Delphinium explained.

- I also have to make sure for myself that there is no threat to myself.

She added in her mind.

That's quite a famous elf beauty after all. With the blessing of immortality, the passing of time can be turned into charm. Not to mention, when she came into contact with Russell, Russell had not yet awakened the memory of his previous life..... for a real young man, such a beautiful, intimate and reliable elder is very difficult to forget.

And if she is not an enemy, then Delphinium must sincerely thank her.

It's not just the kindness of taking care of Russell..... the reason why Russell is what he is today is also related to her decision to pull Russell into this world.

Today's Delphinium knows all Russell's secrets. Russell, whom she fell in love, was the one who had awakened the memories of his previous life and became mature, gentle and somewhat demonic. It's not exactly the naughty genius who still has the characteristics and instincts of the beast, and is as vigilant as a cat.

If Director Sally Russ hadn't brought Russell into this world, they would never have met in this life and this life—no matter what their fate was, they would never have met again.

「…… Oh, congratulations, both."

Wolf Yan seemed to be in a lack of interest: "If that mentor is an elf, I won't go."

"Do you still hate elves?"

Russell smiled and said, "What about Miss Lothar?"

"'For the sake of us naming each other, can you call me Mommy?'

The delphinium on the side held her hands in front of her chest and recited emotionally.

Wolf Yan scratched his head vigorously, annoyed and angry: "Okay, I'll accompany you on a trip!"

Amid the laughter of Russell and Delphinium, the three of them hitched a ride on the floating car that automatically stopped at the door.

Soon, they arrived at Sogo University.

It was the very center of Sogo Island, clustered around the tower, and the three lines were bent like sharp claws

Building.

Their shells are like mirrors, reflecting dazzling rainbow light to the outside. But when you get closer, the rainbow glow will magically change to an overwhelming, ocean-like white light. And let the white tower in the middle as the "core" shine with silver-white brilliance.

And these three buildings that continue to shine belong to Sogo University.

"I thought it was a Sogo house."

The delphinium looked at the sacred, stunning beauty and couldn't help but rub her eyes, "I remember you seemed to say that they belong to the Sogo group."

"Yes, indeed. Because the Sogo Group and the University of Sogo are next to each other, the Sogo Group is closer to the outside, and the University of Sogo is more inward. Although I think it's because it will be more troublesome for college students to go out, it still has a meaning. That is, 'ignorant teenagers are closer to God than adults, because they have more possibilities.'"

Russell introduced his hometown with some nostalgia.

"Sogo Island is similar to Sun Island. Although Sun Island also values education, what they need most is the 'top scholars'. The school is just a screening and nurturing institution. But it's different on Sogo

The float began to slow down as it approached Sogo University, and the various temples and statues scattered below became clearly visible. Passers-by worship the gods, and chants echo through the sky to the sound of praise.

Russell's deep voice, mixed with the sound of praise, was like a prayer:

"In Sogo, education itself is a 'religion,' he said. It is a ritual that turns man into a god, a sacred ritual that allows a person to obtain what he will have but not to have, and a sacred ritual to eradicate his own evil roots.

"Through knowledge, education, wisdom and love, we transform man from imperfect to perfect. The process itself is sacred...... And people learn from it, they cultivate friendships, and they gain the possibility of the future. This process is also enough to be touching.

"The 'light' that Sogo Island reveres is the light of truth, goodness, and beauty. The acquisition of knowledge is true in itself, and it is also good, and the order it has is beautiful. In other words, this is the possibility of the future of Sogo's most revered light, to abandon ignorance, to break through darkness, and to bring light."

".....But this beacon of light, which sings the praises of light, is built in the middle of a group of idols and temples."

Wolf Yan habitually sneered, "I don't feel that there is any light in those beliefs, they are just self-deception. I just find this scene ironic and ridiculous."

Although he has reined in now, this kind of thing is not used to it. He's always been a straight talker.

"Indeed."

Russell nodded and sighed, "Because Sogo has always been the Sogo Island of a few.

"'Light' is closely related to 'talent'. There are always very few people who can climb the Tower of Babel called 'Cai' and walk step by step towards a higher place of light. To revere the purest light of truth, goodness and beauty is to depart from most of the ...... living in the shadows Those who are unable to pursue the light.

"Everyone has their own world that they regard as the truth, and they also have their own views of good and evil and their own personal aesthetics. At the end of the day, it's something that can't be unified. In other words, it is clear that most people regard the truth of truth, goodness and beauty in terms of data, but because of the 'Three Sages, this intermediary is not recognized by anyone. This is a paradox.

"These idols are the light that mortals reveal. They are all different, from different ancient cultures, or perhaps purely modern cultures. They do not have any sacredness, nor can they confer the power of holy orders on others..... they simply have some kind of simple morality.

"Those 'lights' that cannot be absorbed by the Sogo group and the cyber church are scattered all over the place. It's become this stupid, abstract, half-baked thing."

Russell looked at the passers-by on the ground who were as small as ants and worshipped the statue solemnly, and whispered, "But I still think it's a good thing.

"No matter how foolish the truth is, it is better than overflowing lies and deceptions; No matter how abstract the good is, it is better than the evil that cannot be restrained; No matter how beautiful it is, it is better than the ugliness that is revered. Compared to purity and flawlessness

Blameless and pure light, I prefer to believe in the tiny, not very glamorous, not so shocking personal good that comes from every mortal."

It's like Russell's conversation with the Pope.

Russell preferred to believe in mortal possibilities rather than saintly self-sacrifice.

For the good of "the whole of mankind" cannot be higher than the sum of the "goodness of each individual"—the ultimate, absolutely rational good, nor is it higher than the general good.

「…… You still believe in this kind of thing."

Wolf Yan's expression was a little complicated: "I have always felt that there is no possibility of salvation for human beings. As far as the eye can see, everyone is ugly, and even the real God may not be able to save this sinful world. He may be able to destroy the world, to overthrow it and start all over again, but he may not be able to cleanse the hearts of all from sin."

"How do you know that this world has not been destroyed by God?"

Russell sighed casually.

And when he finished saying this, Meijin suddenly interrupted, "It's here, Luo

Plain. Do you want me to inform Sallyrus?"

"Ah, then I'm sorry for you."

Russell nodded in acknowledgement.

This was Sally Ruth's lab—and she used to call it the Workshop. The décor here is extraordinarily luxurious. It's not just "everything", but it's like a palace – with a feudal atmosphere. Rather than a pure research institution, it is more like "a personal residence built by a researcher of great wealth and status, who does as he pleases".

It is not a research institute where people can live and eat, but a luxury villa where all research can be done.

There is no one here.

As soon as they walked into the house, a pixelated white arrow appeared on the black transparent floor, guiding them to their destination.

The surrounding walls, as they progressed, gradually revealed comical welcome effects and canned applause, which seemed to be very lively. Delphinium and Wolf Yan didn't react, but Russell couldn't hold back first.

"Mentor!"

He raised his head and shouted, "Don't be so embarrassed!"

After Russell said this, those bizarre welcome effects suddenly disappeared. Only a pixel figure wearing a red dress with a folding fan over his face remains, bowing to them, revealing a "I'm sorry" like a middle-aged man's emoji effect.

When Russell got to the place, he saw Sally Ruth with a smile in his eyebrows.

Dressed in a crimson gown that can attend any party, she is covered with expensive and ornate jewelry. But even those jewels are suppressed by her beauty, giving people a feeling of "unworthy of her".

The first time I saw her, whether it was wolf Yan or Delphinch, I was shocked by the beauty that surpassed human intelligence.

They all had a strange illusion that the long golden hair, which was draped like the most beautiful satin, seemed to be twitching and wriggling in the warm light like a living thing. It's like an image of some kind of visual error, which is obviously static, but it gives people the feeling of slowly moving. The two of them were as if they had been petrified by Medusa. Russell, on the other hand, only sighed helplessly at this unusually familiar unfolding.

"Won't you restrain yourself, Mentor?"

"It's better for them than convergence?"

Sally Ruth smiled maliciously and put away her folding fan with a snap, revealing her seductive beauty, "They must all be one step away from crossing the Leviathan Wall now, right?

"After seeing my face, it's easier to peel off my own humanity. When you get promoted, it's going to be easier."

She stepped forward and tapped the folded fan in her hand on the chin of the delphinium to make her look up slightly.

There was still a chaotic light in the delphinium's pupils, but the act made her move slightly. Behind her, a large flower monster suddenly emerged from her shadow, but suddenly froze in place as it approached Sallyruth.

- That's the "door".

Between the delphinium and Salirus seemed to be a non-existent, isolating door. Until the door opens, the demon behind the delphinium can't reach her.

「... What is this—what?"

The delphinium was one step ahead of the wolf's voice and slowly came to her senses.

She asked intermittently, holding her forehead with a headache.

"There's something you won't understand, and that's fate."

Sally Ruth said with a smile.

Russell glanced at her, "There are some things you don't understand. But it's okay if you don't understand...... That's love between human beings."

"Indeed, I don't know love. But that doesn't rule out that I'm excited to watch it." Sally Ruth smiled and opened the folding fan, covering the lower half of her face, and narrowed her eyes: "Are you here to ask for my permission?" Then I'm going to say it—I agree to your marriage."

"One thing to say, I'm just informing you."

Russell clasped his hands to his chest and said unceremoniously, "You're not my mother." "It's true that I'm not Alice, but you've been summoned to this world by me. From that point of view..."

Sariruth turned and sat down again, her legs gracefully crossed, "You should probably call me master."

"The correct word should be the summoner."

"That's not quite the same, because I've found you the body that's best for you. After all, you're my most cherished treasure, but that's why I care about it."

She looked at the delphinium's lower abdomen and generously promised, "You don't have to worry about the children. If one of your children inherits one of your qualities in the future, you can also give it to me."

"What do you want to do?"

"In short, it won't affect the world."

"Do you want to exile it to other worlds?" Russell asked.

"No, I'm not the kind of person who destroys the heavens. I've seen many half-bloods, but I've never seen 'half dusk,' How could you just throw it into another world?"

Sallyruth looked innocent: "What's more, you're my treasure... The same goes for your children. Your Pokémon has laid eggs, will you be angry about it? I just want to see if it's just flashing - I think you can understand that feeling, right?"

"What Pokémon ..... to?"

The sobered delinium was puzzled.

Russell shook his head and didn't explain.

But he noticed another word: "You say...... Later?"

"Yes, at least she's fine."

Sally Ruth chuckled, "Rather than letting her come to see me... You just want me to come and see the kid, right?"

"There is indeed a part, thanks for your kindness."

Russell said solemnly, "Part of the reason is that I want to ask - if I defeat the monkey-faced eagle, how can I devour him? Will I have any reaction after that? Is it possible that what I said to the Pope will succeed?"

"I don't know~"

Sally Ruth smiled mischievously, as if she were just a teenage girl, "I don't know anything."

"Mentor..."

Russell was a little helpless: "I'm serious..."

"You're Russell, aren't you?"

Suddenly, Sally Ruth interrupted, "Well, think about what Russell will do. So far, you've done a great job. I don't think I need to say anything more.

"Also...remember to have more children when it's all over."

Anyway, don't wait for Russell to ask.

She opened the folding fan and fanned it slightly at Russell and the three of them.

The space around him shook for a moment, and Russell came to the shop with a huge river. Thick moisture hits the face.

"-Reiko, let's start with five catties of fried small fish to appetize!"

A cheerful voice came from behind Russell: "Hahaha...... Huh? It's not

Is that Mr. Deerhead?

"Are you lost again? Or are you here to pick up your lost friends?"

Russell looked back and saw a giant who was at least three meters tall and had a large head.

At this time, the "picture" in front of Russell's eyes shook slightly.

Only then did his chip realize that he was on Yongquan Island instead of Sogo Island. As a result, the positioning, the weather, and the UI in front of you all changed suddenly.

But Russell didn't greet the giant immediately, he just took the delphinium's hand first so that she wouldn't panic.

After it's all over.....

Is this a response?
