Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3960 Going to... the God Realm, Buying an Airship
A year, or longer? Aurora quickly recalled in her mind that there had been no news about the Great General in the Celestial Realm for quite some time.

Occasionally, there will be some news, which is basically related to a certain event.

For example, the Seventh Empire is undertaking a large-scale development of the exotic islands in the northwest. The waters there have very high-quality fishery resources, and because of the Apostle Anton, they are full of mineral-rich volcanic rocks, which have good development value.

When people mention the Island of the Otherworld, they think of Anton, and also of General Yelin who defeated the omnipotent Matga.

The first thing news, in its literal sense, is to be new. Since Ye Lin has not been active in the Heavenly Realm, there are almost no news stories with him as the headline, even if he was famous enough in the past.

However, Aurora also believed that as long as the General returned to the Celestial Realm and participated in some public event, he could instantly regain the headlines, but it seems that he has no such intention at the moment.

Faced with her assertive question, Ye Lin chuckled and replied:
"Look, even without me for over a year, the Seventh Empire of the Celestial Realm is still thriving and full of vitality. Under Her Majesty Alizee's leadership, everything is moving in a positive direction. Isn't that great?"

"And I actually do hold a position in the Celestial Realm; I am the principal of a magic school."

"Then, the military has been doing well in recent years, with a lot of talented people emerging. Besides, I'm just a figurehead anyway, it's just an honorary position."

He was speaking from the heart. The Seventh Empire doesn't need him now. Of course, this doesn't mean they've abandoned him, but rather that he has grown strong enough to cope with the unpredictable future.

Aurora pursed her beautifully shaped lips, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, her eyes filled with complex emotions. Finally, she nodded slightly, sighed, and appeared somewhat disappointed.

"General, I must take my leave now." After saying her farewell, Aurora left the manor with Lindsay, the little white flower, and headed to the Grand Cathedral of Remedia.

When we met again, His Excellency the Archbishop was wearing his hat very properly, his thick beard was carefully trimmed, and his religious uniform was neatly worn without a single wrinkle.

"Thank you, I feel much better." Aurora offered a small token of her appreciation to God's donation box; she had exchanged currency beforehand.

The archbishop smiled kindly and said, "God is always with us."

Little White Flower gently closed the door, and as she turned around, she bumped into Yue Na and the two beautiful priestesses of the Great Cathedral. All three of them possessed a holy and pure aura, and their presence together made the Great Cathedral seem even brighter.

"How is she? Is she feeling any better?" Yue Na pointed to the quiet room, her expression inquiring.

Little White Flower nodded and replied, "Yes, she said it's a little better, but the root cause hasn't changed."

It's possible that the archbishop's magic made Aurora less uneasy and less prone to nightmares yesterday. This is a temporary solution, making her feel more comfortable, something that dream-eating pollen can also do. However, the core problem remains unresolved.

With nothing else to do, they chatted about Aurora for a bit before deciding to leave the cathedral to get something to eat and have a cup of coffee.

"Welcome, please come in~"

The lively Kanina always beams with a lovely smile whenever she sees a customer, and she's very genuine and unprofessional, since customers mean money.

After the four of them entered the store, Kanina kept staring at the door. Once she was sure there was no one else there, her smile became even brighter.

"What does that mean?" Yuena sat down and picked up the menu, noticing Kanina's subtle actions.

Kanina pursed her lips, her tone full of helplessness, and said:
"I'm checking if Ye Lin came with you guys. That guy is so stingy. Every time he orders coffee, he not only asks me for a discount, but he also wants me to give him a dessert for free. I don't make any money at all."

Obes automatically ignored her statement about "not making money," thinking, "Who would believe your lies, Kanina?" and then asked with a smile:

"So you're saying our relationship is so good, there's no discount?"

"Nine-nine, no, nine-fifths discount, please. It's a small business, please be kind to me, I really don't make any money." Kanina reluctantly offered the discount, feeling a pang of pain in her heart. Damn it, who invented the word "discount" in the first place?

We ordered four cups of coffee, all with added sugar, and for dessert, we had honey cake, nut cookies, and cream cake.

Pai brought over dessert; the honey cake was something she had learned to make.

Grandis took a sip, then added more sugar to his cup with a spoon, and casually asked Kanina, "Where's your mascot, Dako,? I haven't seen her. Did she go back to the Demon Realm?"

It shouldn't be. Although Dako was once the "foreman" of the ninth quarantine zone in the Harlem region of the Demon Realm, she had no feelings for the Demon Realm and didn't feel any sense of belonging there. She had long since settled in the Arad Continent and even had a local household registration.

Little Witch Imi, Xiao Su, and You Xia would often go back to visit, but Da Ke'er didn't want to go back at all and now considered herself an Arad person.

"First and foremost, I'm the mascot!" Kanina continued, hands on her hips, her tone slightly disgruntled. She puffed out her chest, which barely rose or fell, and then added:

"She went to Xuzu a long time ago. The Azure Dragon Tournament there invited her to be a guest, to draw lots and present awards or something. They gave her money, so she went."

Dakor was the champion of the second Azure Dragon Tournament; after all, the Dark Eye with its infinite magic was simply too much.

"I remember the Azure Dragon Tournament is over, right?" Grandis calculated the time; Dako'er should be on her way back.

If she uses a portal, it wouldn't be surprising if she appeared the next second.

Just then, the phone given to Kanina rang, and the ringtone sounded familiar—it was a song by a girl band. When she picked it up, Dako's voice came from the other end:
"I've gone to... the realm of gods..."

"Huh? What are you doing there?"

Kanina's voice instantly rose in surprise, "Hey, I'm the boss! I didn't approve your leave. If you don't come back, the coffee shop's business has been so bad. How am I supposed to make money?"

“Go buy… a beautiful airship, Dakota likes it.”

"Uh, did you go alone?"

On the other end, Dakor glanced at the petite and adorable Nympa with her sweet smile, the sullen and unhappy Brona, and Puff who was devouring a pork knuckle, along with her electric dragon, Tone, and said:
"And four more dragons."

Bronna was so frustrated because she was the third place winner of this year's Azure Dragon Tournament.

After hanging up the phone, Kanina shrugged helplessly and said that Dako had run into a trio of street thugs who were going to cause trouble in the God Realm.

As for whether she has the money to buy an airship, there's no need to worry. Because of her outstanding looks, proud figure, and the characteristics of a quiet, cute, gothic older sister, Da Ke'er is a long-term contracted model of the Celia Merchant Guild. She has a lot of money in her bank account, and there is a Celestial Merchant Guild in the God Realm that provides currency exchange services.

Dako once seriously asked if it was possible to put a knife to a bank employee's neck and make them increase the number in their card.

The topic returned to Aurora, and everyone discussed whether there was any way to resolve her obsessive-compulsive disorder. It seemed that the archbishop's approach could only offer temporary relief. The method of erasing memories had already been rejected, as Aurora explicitly refused.

Little White Flower stuffed a plump piece of honey cake into her mouth and said, "Mental illness is the hardest to cure, especially one like hers with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder."

"To be pessimistic, I wouldn't be surprised if she took her own life at any time."

"The last resort is probably to have Ye Lin give her a pill to undo her mistakes."

That is, to travel through time and go back to the past.

Her biggest worry was that even if she did that, Aurora's problem might not be completely solved, as it had already left its mark on her soul.

……

Aurora finished her treatment for the day and returned to the Celestial Realm through the manor's spatial portal. Her next treatment is scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

Strangely, the general was not at home.

Ghent, military headquarters.

Aurora pursed her lips, wearing a tight-fitting combat suit that accentuated her full, rounded breasts. The long cloak she wore over it featured technologically advanced lines that combined agility with the curves of her figure, meeting the practical needs of the battlefield.

Led by Dr. Gina Theodore, the scientists designed weapons with a balance of practicality and aesthetics, so her cloak not only showcases her presence and figure but also encapsulates the power of technology, creating a defensive barrier.

The Support Division is an independent special operations unit proposed by Commander-in-Chief Jack after the Seventh Empire began to focus on its medical system. Previously, it was an auxiliary logistics department of the entire military, but now it has become largely independent.

Prompt medical assistance can save soldiers' lives and restore their fighting strength as soon as possible, which is of great importance.

In a sense, war is a contest of logistical support capabilities.

At the same time, due to the unique cultural atmosphere of the Celestial Realm, women often possess fighting spirit and abilities that are no less than those of men. Therefore, with the combination of strength and gentleness, the assistant warriors also have a certain combat capability.

The personal computer "Asclepius" used by Maisher, after being adapted, was given to the newly established Co-op Division as a weapon that combines medical and combat functions.

Aurora has a strong presence, and her gaze always carries a scrutinizing attitude. Coupled with her proud battlefield achievements, this makes her exceptionally beautiful and with a perfect figure, yet few men dare to approach her.

Back in her office, Aurora sat down, closed her eyes for a moment, then took out Yuena's holy book, stroked the cover for a while, and then dialed the phone number for Commander-in-Chief Jackt's office.

However, it wasn't Jack who answered the phone; the adjutant told him he was in a meeting and would be back in half an hour.

Aurora glanced at the time and waited silently. Half an hour later, at exactly the same second, she called again.

As the head of the special operations unit, she had the right to speak directly with the Commander-in-Chief.

"Aurora, you're the only one who can time it perfectly." Jack's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, laughing:

"I heard you're receiving treatment in Arad. How's it going? Is it effective?"

"Reporting to the Commander, I'm much better. My spirits feel like they're bathed in warm sunshine, which has calmed me down considerably." Aurora stood at attention, answering with measured precision and a firm, resounding voice.

On the other end, Jack quickly moved the microphone a little further away; Aurora's reply was too formal, and his ears couldn't take it.

"Commander, I would like to ask about my sudden transfer from the medical system to the front-line commando system."

Aurora cut straight to the point, asking why she had been promoted from medic to frontline officer, which she found strange.

“Let me think about this…” Jack frowned, searched for the other party’s name on the computer, and pulled up the original military appointment letter.

Several years have passed since then, and there have been frequent personnel changes in the military. He is getting old and can no longer remember the details of each person.

Half a minute later, Jack's voice came:
"You performed exceptionally well in Operation Sandstorm at Ruft's Suspended Harbor. You not only rescued the Coast Guard and the Train Guard, but also annihilated two special operations battalions of Kallet. This is an incredible achievement; I was awestruck when I first saw it."

So when someone in the military raised questions about Aurora's mental health and whether she was still suitable to serve as combat commander, the Coast Guard unanimously supported her, after all, they owed her a life-saving favor.

"Based on your outstanding achievements, as well as the courage, ability, sense of responsibility, and overall perspective you have demonstrated, the military has decided to promote you to the rank of frontline supervising officer, making an exception for you."

"You're wondering about cross-systems, aren't you?" Jackt smiled and explained:
"After all, normally logistics officers rarely go directly to the front lines to participate in direct combat. Your original promotion should have been to the commander of the medical support team, or any senior officer position related to medical logistics."

Upon hearing this, Aurora suddenly became somewhat sullen, her brows furrowing tightly, ruining the beauty of her face, and she felt a little upset.

The medical support team is a collective term. She was the captain of the second squad, while the overall captain of the support team sacrificed his life in that operation.

She shook her head vigorously, suppressing the restlessness and repressed emotions in her heart, and continued to listen to Commander Jack's story.

"You were promoted across systems because you demonstrated exceptional military skills. Your judgment of the battlefield situation and the annihilation plans you devised were, in retrospect, the optimal solutions under the critical circumstances. You have that kind of talent."

"The key is..." Jack sighed on the other end of the phone, paused for a few seconds, and then said:
“During the Kallet War, we lost too many senior officers and desperately need talented people to support the troops. Compared to your medical skills, I believe your command abilities can help us achieve more victories.”

Many high-ranking officers, such as the head of the train garrison, the commander and deputy commander of the Ghent garrison, and others, were killed.

Leaving Aurora in the medical team might save a few more, dozens, or even hundreds of lives, but if her leadership skills are utilized effectively, every battle won will reduce the number of casualties.

After hearing this, Aurora paused for a moment and asked directly, "The cross-system promotion was your order, Commander, and has nothing to do with the General?"

Jack laughed and said, "You mean Ye Lin? I wrote your promotion appointment. What does it have to do with him? You want to know if he recommended you?"

"Yes."

"That's right, it was indeed Ye Lin who recommended you, but how did you know?"

Aurora remained silent, then found her old promotion certificate. The photo of herself in it really... wasn't very good-looking.
