It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 216 Take All
"Basically, that's it..."

Ishtar added a lot of things with great interest.

Then she let out a breath, as if all her emotions had been released and sorted out.

"As for the subsequent details," she smiled, "I'll think about it slowly. I'll add more when I come up with anything new."

"No problem, but you are truly worthy of being Lady Ishtar. You remain humble in front of the goddess of the underworld who once easily defeated you."

Xia Zhi also nodded, put away the documents in his hand that he was pretending to use for recording, and said this in an admiring tone.

"You still have such high regard for the goddess of the underworld who easily defeated you. This kind of heart is truly admirable and amazing."

"..."

"..."

"Of course, don't you see who I am?"

The girl tried hard to tighten her expression, but it still looked a little forced. Although the other party seemed to be praising her sincerely, she always felt that something was not right.

Why did he repeatedly emphasize that Ereshkigal had defeated him, and that he had defeated him easily?
Forget it, he simply didn’t know and thought he was really that humble, so that’s why he said that.

She comforted herself in this way in her heart and did not dwell on this little depression for too long.

"In that case, let's start preparing for the first Ereshkigal Festival..."

Xia Zhi looked down at the records on the document in his hand, thought for a moment, then nodded and said casually.

"No, no, it's the first Goddess Festival named after Ereshkigal, not the Ereshkigal Festival. You have to make the distinction..." Miss Ishtar immediately shook her head in denial upon hearing this.

Although the first Goddess Festival was sacrificed for this matter, she had no intention of actually turning this festival into the Ereshkigal Festival, a grand celebration dedicated to the Mistress of the Underworld.

After this, Lady Ishtar will definitely take back this right to honor.

Of course, the goddess, who had just been praised by Xia Zhi and flattered, also subconsciously remained "modest" at this time.

"The Goddess Festival shouldn't be reserved for just one goddess, right? I think other goddesses should also enjoy this honor."

Pretending to be nonchalant, Ishtar stroked her long straight hair that looked like black satin, and looked in another direction with a vague look.

Yes, that’s what humility is.

I can't say it too bluntly, but overall the result is not much different.

After all, besides Ereshkigal, she is the only other goddess.

"Oh, you are indeed worthy of being Lady Ishtar!" Xia Zhi clapped his hands decisively, and offered a few words of praise in this regard without hesitation.

………………

at the same time.

Not far away there.

"This Miss Ishtar is so easy to deal with..."

Medea, who was standing by, frowned and couldn't help but say this to Altria.

"Isn't that the same as opening up admission to other goddesses?"

"Or is she really so naive that she thinks the only two goddess servants who are Masters are her sisters?"

"..."

"..."

Altria deadpanned, "Isn't it obvious? Besides, she just arrived, and it's only her second day at work. She might still think Master is just an ordinary magus."

Then, the two looked at each other and reached a consensus.

really--

New colleagues are newbies who know nothing——

"..."

"..."

Melyuchina beside him watched silently, with a thoughtful look in her clear golden pupils.

Possessing the power of "dragon", she learns and grows very quickly, and the people and things around her are all objects of reference and learning for her.

………………

"Ahem, alright, alright, you don't have to say anything more. I feel embarrassed if you praise me anymore..."

Miss Ishtar proudly put her hands on her hips, with a look of delight on her face as if she was flattered by the praise.

Although she has nothing to do with good virtues such as humility, it is normal for goddesses to always like praise.

The guy in front of me is really good at dealing with people. He can talk endlessly about good things and can express all kinds of praise by just seizing any entry point.

Hearing this, the girl felt a little shy.

However, this also made her opinion of this Master improve a lot. Although he would occasionally say some depressing words, that was because he didn't know, which was completely understandable.

Thinking of this, the goddess' mood also became cheerful, no longer dwelling on the small defeat last night.

"Then let's follow this charter. However, holding a national grand celebration will not be done in a short time. It will take some time to organize it and mobilize materials."

The young man said seriously, "If you feel that there is anything inappropriate, or if you have any new ideas, you are welcome to tell me at any time, Lord Ishtar."

"It's settled then..." Ishtar said cheerfully.

Then, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, as if she had thought of something.

"By the way, this shouldn't be too much of a burden on you, right? After all, such a grand event would definitely require a lot of budget, right?"

"Don't worry, it's okay." Xia Zhi smiled slightly and waved his hand.

"Is it really okay?"

The girl stared at him suspiciously, and couldn't help muttering, "Are you so rich? Could it be that the rule is very strict and the oppression is very severe?"

"How could that be? Our management is very relaxed..."

Xia Zhi said without changing his expression:

"There's no exploitation involved. As long as the goblins follow the rules and pay their head tax on time, that's all that's fine."

You can pay the head or tax.

Ishtar didn't understand the situation yet, so she didn't think much about it. She just nodded pretentiously to show that she understood.

Since she was already here, she would eventually find out what this strange fantasy kingdom was all about. She would understand it when she went to see it for herself.

"That's it for now, I..."

She rolled her eyes and was about to find a reason to leave and go for a walk outside.

As a result, he relaxed and glanced at the clothes on Xia Zhi. He immediately became confused: "Hey, this outfit you are wearing looks like..." "How is it, does it look good?"

Xia Zhi didn't care, but raised his hands and let his wide sleeves fall naturally.

The pure white background is decorated with golden embroidery patterns, and the meticulous embroidery craftsmanship is breathtaking. The golden lines flow between the turns of the fabric and repeatedly pass through the cuffs and other places, like sleeves.

This is the final result of the "Ultimate Defense Barrier" project led by Medea -

Using Index's "Mobile Church" as a model, the monk's robes were successfully copied.

Maybe we will continue to fine-tune and optimize it later, but it is almost there, so it is not wrong to say that it is the final result.

Although it was based on the monk's uniform, the style was different. There was no sign of similarity, except for the color matching. It was obvious that the God Age Witch and the Spinning Fairy had really worked together and put a lot of thought into it.

They are not simply trying to copy, knowing what it is but not why it is so.

Instead, he tried his best to explore, study and investigate bit by bit, trying to figure out the operating mechanism as much as possible, and then tried to rebuild it through magic and mysterious framework.

“It’s beautiful…”

Ishtar hesitated a little, but nodded out of politeness.

Although in her opinion, this outfit was just average and lacked elegance...

Even though this thing really fits him well, it looks as harmonious as if it was made by nature. A fresh and soft temperament emanates from the inside out, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

"This seems to be..."

She didn't hesitate and circled around the magician, took a closer look, and spoke with some doubts -

"...Temple?"

"Yes, this suit is a 'mobile temple'. The fabric imitates the Holy Shroud, and the weaving method and sewing method are carefully calculated. In the end, it has all the elements that a complete temple should have."

Xia Zhi nodded.

"Awesome, this idea is really amazing..."

Ishtar was amazed, and then, based on the connection between the spell and magic attached to the clothes, she looked at the witch lady not far away thoughtfully:
"You are...Medea, right? You should have done this?"

She was not a person who looked down on others. As a new employee, she had of course gotten to know her colleagues, so she also knew about Medea's existence.

"Miss Tetrot and I did it together..." The witch of the Age of Gods showed a gentle smile, and did not take all the credit, and directly stated that it was not all her own credit.

"That's pretty good, and you're so attentive..."

There was a hint of inquiring curiosity in Ishtar's eyes. The meticulous workmanship and sophisticated design were highlights that could not be ignored. With such care put into it, it felt like this was not an ordinary relationship between a Master and a Servant.

"After all, Master has taken good care of me and has been very sincere, so of course I have to thank him."

Miss Witch also laughed.

"Ahem, speaking of which, I have an idea..." Xia Zhi decisively interrupted the conversation between the two, "Lord Ishtar, would you like to hear it?"

"what?"

"Look, this is a 'mobile temple', but there are actually no gods enshrined in the temple. After all, before you came, there were no gods in the fairy kingdom..."

"Hey, you mean——"

Ishtar raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, I want the naming rights for your brand, Lord Ishtar."

The young man waved his hand proudly: "Name your price."

at the same time.

On the corridor of the palace.

"Eh? Ereshkigal Festival?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru held the heavy book in his arms and widened his eyes in shock.

She looked at the young man opposite her in disbelief, wondering if she had heard it wrongly. Why did such a familiar name suddenly appear?

"Yes, this was proposed by Miss Ishtar. The first Goddess Festival was named after Ereshkigal, the mistress of the underworld—"

Xia Zhi nodded without comment. After all, if it was to be developed into a national event, it couldn't be concealed simply by luring Lixiang away from the mountain.

So he simply explained it in advance to dispel the other party's suspicion and avoid some unexpected troubles later.

"Why, why would you make such a suggestion? Miss Ishtar...she doesn't seem like someone with this kind of personality." Fujimaru Ritsuka opened his mouth, but still couldn't help asking.

She actually didn't want to say anything bad about Miss Ishtar. After all, she had helped her a lot. No matter how you looked at it, she was a trustworthy and reliable ally, the goddess of victory.

however……

Honestly, the girl couldn't convince herself not to pay attention to this obviously odd thing.

"Because this is more appropriate." Xia Zhi said as a matter of course. After all, he had come directly to him, so of course he had thought about how to deal with this problem.

"suitable?"

"Yes, I am ready to take action against the Seventh Abnormal Belt... Ritsuka."

"So this is it—eh eh eh?!" the girl exclaimed in an unconcealable exclamation.

"Is it strange? But no matter what, there will inevitably be a battle in the remaining two Lostbelts. In this case, as a person from this world, it is understandable that we should try to nip the danger in the bud."

The young man smiled slightly and said in a very gentle tone: "Fighting for survival, isn't it?"

"..."

"..."

"Yes, yes..." After a long silence, Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression was very complicated. She sighed deeply and nodded silently.

"So, what does this have to do with the Ereshkigal Festival... Mr. Summer Solstice?"

"This festival is a ceremony specifically for conquering the Seventh Lostbelt..."

The magician opposite smiled faintly.

"I've glimpsed the characteristics of the Seventh Lostbelt: 'A vast underground underworld held within its womb, a sea of golden trees where giant beasts stalk with their heads held high'..."

"In that case, we should just annex it and turn it into a subsidiary underworld of our world..."

"Ritsuka, are you willing to contribute to this?"

he asked earnestly, preparing to kill two birds with one stone.
