Poseidon in Arknights

【I guess so too.】 Yeragand agreed with Chuxue's idea. She didn't expect that Chuxue would run into such a big shot while taking a vacation.

The Holy Bell in Chuxue's hand was indeed a blessed artifact, so she could sense the situation around it. Originally, she was just calculating the time and thought that Enya should be arriving at Rhodes Island soon, so she was checking the situation.

But the result was unexpected and shocking. How could there be so many hidden talents on this small Rhodes Island? Does this make sense?

Moreover, when he sensed a vast expanse of waves, Yeragand fell silent, his only thought being, "Holy shit!"

After Jeragand calmed down a bit, and confirmed this again, Jeragand's mind was filled with the thought, "Can the ocean really give birth to a will?"

Afterwards, Yeragand used the Holy Bell to communicate with her briefly, and they had a fairly pleasant chat. She was also relatively relieved about Enya's safety on Rhodes Island.

Although Enya is capable of fighting on her own, and Jeragand knows this, she can't help but feel like a mother herself.

But now, there's no need to worry about that at all. There's probably no safer place in all of Terra than Rhodes Island right now.

Oh, right, Miss Yuzuki also said she'd like to come to Sherag for a trip sometime. Hmm, I should do something to show my hospitality.

But that's all for later; we can think about it then. Right now, we need to pay attention to another issue.

"Enya, is the black tea good?" The sacred bell swayed gently, and Jeragand's teasing voice came from within.

"Hmm, it's delicious. What's wrong, Lady Yeragand? If you'd like some, I'll try asking Lady Yuzuki for some tea leaves later?"

No, no, no, that's not what I meant, but that suggestion is fine, but how are you going to deliver it?

"Oh, right..." First Snow fell silent after Yeragand asked her that question. Yes, how should she give it to Lord Yeragand?

Sending a messenger directly to the snow mountain? How could that be possible? The snow mountain is a sacred and inviolable place in Shelag. How could anyone dare to send something up there?

Even if a messenger dared to venture into the snow-capped mountains, he might be beaten half to death by the people of Shelag on the way, so that idea was definitely not feasible.

[It's alright, just give me a name, I think it's called a surname, right? Have a messenger deliver it to the post station your brother just established.]

"Um, but..." First Snow hesitated when she heard Yeragand's plan. Wouldn't it seem a bit too grand? After all, it was a gift from another god.

[I'll pick it up myself then. Just remember to make the packaging very noticeable. As for Miss Yuzuki, I'll talk to her about it later, so don't worry.]

"Yes..." Chu Xue nodded hesitantly, hoping that Miss Xi Yue wouldn't be angry about it later.

While brewing tea far away in the snowy mountains, Yeragand smiled. Although their time together was short, she could tell that Miss Yuuki was by no means a ferocious deity.

That's not how it should be said. If the other side had committed a violent act, the entire continent would probably be in chaos by now. But right now, the entire continent is peaceful, so everything must be fine.

Miss Yuzuki deserves great credit; there's no doubt about it.

"Hmm, you haven't gone yet?" Yuzuki appeared silently behind Hatsuyuki like a ghost. "Oh, is it because you haven't finished your black tea?"

"!!!" Startled by Yuuki's sudden shout, Chu Xue patted his chest before turning to look at Yuuki behind him. "Yuuki-sama, you're still here."

"I just went to the kitchen to make some desserts, so of course I'm still here." Xi Yue held up the tray in her hand. "I just saw you were still here when I came out, so I came to see what was going on."

"It's nothing, we just chatted for a bit." The sacred bell in Chuxue's arms swayed slightly. "That's why we've been delayed until now, but we really did want to wait for Miss Xiyue."

Xi Yue nodded, holding the tray; "In that case, let's speak frankly."

"It's nothing major, but I'm quite interested in Miss Xiyue's tea and would like to ask you for some. Could you have Enya bring me some? Is that alright?"

"So that's what it was all about." Yuuki smiled as she looked at the Holy Bell of Yeragand, then used water to retrieve the tea canister containing ice crystals from her clothes and placed it on the table.

"Take it, you can secretly keep some for yourself to drink~" After putting down the ice crystal tea canister, Yuzuki joked with Hatsuyuki.

"Miss Xiyue is too kind." Chuxue breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Miss from the Western Regions really didn't care about such trivial matters. But speaking of which, now that she had the tea, which family should she ask to help deliver it to Shelag?

Should we go find the Courier? Putting aside whether the Courier is there or not, Frostleaf doesn't want to reveal that she's on Rhodes Island so soon. You know, even her sister doesn't know she's on Rhodes Island right now.

When I contacted Coach Luo, I specifically requested that her brother and sister not be told before I left, and that the place I was arranged to stay was also a room that was relatively far away from her sister's regular room.

'Never mind, I'll check later to see if Rhodes Island has any reliable couriers right now.'

"Enjoy your afternoon tea and shopping." Yuzuki smiled as she looked at Hatsuyuki, who was lost in thought, said goodbye, and then turned and left the kitchen with her tray.

She had to hurry back to her office to prevent that certain PhD student from being so hungry that he started secretly making instant noodles with hot water in his mouth.

——————Rhodes Island Doctor's Office——————

“No, no, no…” The doctor repeatedly flipped through the report in his hands. “These data are wrong. Something is missing here. Something is definitely missing.”

It wasn't the research report he had in his hand, but rather the report that had just been delivered by the botanical garden's staff. He was currently struggling with the analysis of the chemical components on it.

Although it was just an intuition, and there was no evidence, the doctor believed that there must be something wrong with the data on the active ingredients, and that something had not been detected.

How should I put it? It just feels incomplete, like something's missing...

"What are you thinking about, Doctor?" Suddenly, as the voice fell, a small dark shadow blocked the light. The Doctor turned around somewhat blankly and looked at Amiya's worried eyes.

“It’s Amiya.” The doctor put down the report in his hand. “It’s nothing, I just feel that something is wrong with the data in this report.”

"Something's not right?" Amiya curiously took the report as well. "Is this a report from the botanical garden?"

"Hmm." The doctor nodded in affirmation. "Some of the plant active ingredient reports seem strange. Some of them appear abruptly, while others seem to be missing something."

Amiya nodded as if she understood, though she wasn't very good at this, and was almost completely clueless about it: "Should we show this report to Dr. Kal'tsit? Although Dr. Kal'tsit should have a copy as well."

“Kal'tsit…” The Doctor pondered for a moment before nodding, taking the report from Amiya. “Then I’ll mark a few points in this report that I find strange, and see what Kal'tsit thinks?”

After all, she had lost her memory. Perhaps in the past she could have seen the problems at a glance, but now she had to admit that before she regained her memories, and while she was still learning most of her knowledge, her ability in this area was indeed temporarily inferior to Kal'tsit's.

"Mmm." Amiya nodded, then stood aside and waited for the Doctor to finish annotating everything she wanted.

"Hmm, isn't this Amiya?" Yuuki pushed open the door and entered with a tray, looking at Amiya standing behind the Doctor. "You've come at the right time, want some dessert?"

"Miss Yuzuki." Amiya bowed slightly to Yuzuki. "Thank you for taking care of the Doctor today."

"It's nothing~" Xiyue smiled, walked to the small table next to her, and put down the tray in her hand. "Alright, take a rest first. The doctor has finished all his work for today."

"So Amiya, stop staring at the Doctor and come eat some with him."

"Hmm..." Amiya, who was resting, paused in her words just as she was about to persuade the Doctor to finish his work. She glanced at the empty desk and nodded.

"Well then, shouldn't that doctor get some rest?"

"Oh, great!" The professor immediately raised his hand and cheered. If Yuuki hadn't said anything, she would have told Amiya that she had finished her work, since Amiya's gaze at him was rather sharp.

This little rabbit is great in every way, except he likes to urge her to work. She's not slacking off all the time, is it really necessary to urge him like this?

Oh, right, speaking of slacking off, the professor's eyes fell on a letter on the table. It was a complaint letter, and the complainant was Zilan from the Human Resources Department.

The complaint was filed against Ethan, who had been missing recently. The doctor also tried to find Ethan, since if she hadn't handled the complaint, it might have been Miss Misha or Broken Bones who had dealt with it.

The former is fine; Ethan will just get a lecture. But with the latter, Ethan will probably suffer a lot.

However, what puzzled the Doctor was that, according to Lion Scorpion, Ethan hadn't been slacking off at the club for quite some time.

She tried to search for him, but found no eyewitness reports of Ethan.

"What's wrong?" Yuuki asked the professor. "What are you standing there for?"

"Oh, coming, coming." The doctor stood up from his chair and walked towards the small table. "Small cakes, and cookies too? In such a short time?"

“The ingredients are all in the kitchen.” Xi Yue shrugged. “It saved me a lot of time, thanks to Gu Mi and the others. They often make desserts, so they have plenty of ingredients left over.”

"I see." The Doctor nodded, having no doubt about Yuuki's statement, because Gummy or Andrei would bring her desserts when they were assistants.

"Oh, by the way, could you do me a favor, Yuuki?" The Doctor, with a small cake in his mouth, suddenly remembered Ethan's situation and figured he couldn't find him.

So, in order to prevent anything tragic from happening to Ethan, the professor decided to plead for him.

To be honest, apart from Misha, I don't really have much to say about Broken Bones, but there is one person here who can talk to me about it very well.

"What's wrong?" Yu Yue picked up a small cake and put it in her mouth, but put it down when she heard the doctor's diligence.

The Doctor glanced at Amiya beside him before speaking, "As you know, Ethan likes to slack off, but I can't find him now..."

"Oh, you mean this?" Before the professor could finish his request, Yuuki pulled a flyer from her pocket. "Go find him here."

"Huh???" The professor looked at the flyer that had landed in front of the map with a puzzled expression. "Miss Yuzuki, what's this?"

"It's a flyer for the coffee shop that Doumiao runs." Xiyue took a bite of cake. "But I've never been there."

“I’m not talking about that,” the doctor shook his head. “I’m talking about how Miss Yuzuki knew she could find Ethan here.”

“Xiao Ke said so.” Xi Yue picked up her black tea and took a sip. “The slogan below was written by Ethan.”

"I see, he secretly found a new spot to slack off." The doctor nodded. In that case, there was no need to worry about Ethan encountering any tragic events.

I'll just tell Zilan about this flyer and the coffee shop later. The doctor is too lazy to go; it's all because the doctor made him work so hard for nothing.

"Wait, Doctor, did Ethan go slacking off again?" The little rabbit, who had just realized what was happening, looked at the Doctor. "You should have told him about this."

"Oh, it's alright~" The professor picked up a small cake. "Anyway, as long as I know where Ethan is, that's enough~"

“But Doctor, if Mr. Ethan keeps touching me like this…” Just as Amiya was about to say something, a loud noise suddenly came from upstairs in the office.

【Boom! ! ! ! ! 】

"Holy crap, what's going on?" The Doctor, startled so much that he dropped the cake he was holding, looked up in surprise. "Is some operator testing a high-powered spell?"

"Doctor, the upstairs doesn't seem to be a testing area," Amiya said, looking up in surprise. "Could it be that some operator is violating regulations?"

"No, not really." Xi Yue looked up at the upstairs. "It's more like there was a problem with the experiment. I told her not to touch anything."

Chapter 218: An Unexpected Phone Call

Amiya looked at Yuuki with some confusion after hearing her words: "Does Miss Yuuki know what happened?"

"I know." Xi Yue nodded, then looked up at the building with a hint of helplessness. "There's probably a small problem. Hmm, but it looks quite spectacular. Shall we go up and take a look?"

"Spectacular?" Upon hearing Yuuki's words, the Doctor immediately became curious. "Did the operators upstairs come up with something amazing?"

"It's not exactly a good thing," Yuuki said, stroking her chin. "But it's quite spectacular."

"Then let's go take a look!" The professor picked up a small plate of cakes and was already in a state of watching a show with popcorn in hand.

"Let's go then." Xi Yue smiled, lifted the teapot with the water, and looked ready to go watch the show.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

——————A few tens of minutes ago · Rhode Island Botanical Garden——————

"Um, Miss Muirsey, are you sure this won't cause any problems?" The perfumer looked at Muirsey, who seemed quite excited, with a puzzled expression.

"It's alright, we've taken all the necessary safety precautions," Muels waved his hand and tugged at his protective suit. "It's just a small test with magic."

“This is for research purposes, isn’t that normal?” Muirsey’s face was full of inquiry. “The other plants have also been isolated, we just need to conduct a little bit of experimentation.”

“Alright, you’re right.” The perfumer thought for a moment and nodded. If Muels’ Originium Arts could really help, or at least help them figure out the cause, then their acclimatization problems would be worthwhile.

Even if nothing is gained, it will only waste a few seeds. They have plenty of reserves in this area, so there won't be any irreparable loss because of this one experiment.
