Arknights' Lock of Heaven

He inherited Enkidu's body, not his spirit origin, so he didn't gain the wisdom of the people after his ascension and couldn't possibly learn so much knowledge all at once.

To be honest, his learning speed is already quite fast; even Leonardo da Vinci was very satisfied! Expecting me to finish learning Terra and other cutting-edge knowledge in just a few days is simply asking too much!

The reason why these scientists were so dissatisfied was that they initially placed Xia Yu on too high a position, thinking that such a mysterious and ancient being must know a lot of knowledge, right?

As it turns out, that's not necessarily true.

The disparity between the two has led to this reality.

Now that they've discovered the consultant's teacher has come in person, and that the teacher's knowledge is far broader than the consultant's, they immediately neglect the consultant.

As for why the consultant's teacher is so young... well, he's an old man, so what's wrong with looking a little younger?

After another round of questions and answers, Little Da Vinci stepped out from the crowd and came to Xia Yu.

"Have we finished this lesson?"

“It’s still early,” Xia Yu sighed upon hearing this. “I just realized this is actually an outline…”

“It’s alright, take your time,” Little Leonardo da Vinci said with a smile, patting his head in a retaliatory gesture. “You have plenty of time, you’ll finish learning eventually.”

"Da Vinci, dear!" Just then, Fujimaru Ritsuka rushed over to little Da Vinci, pulling Amiya along with her. "Look at this child!"

She pushed Amiya in front of her and pressed her face close to Amiya's. "Mash told me she looks just like me! But we don't look alike at all!"

"Da Vinci, you be the judge!"

“Ah, Mr. Xia Yu,” Amiya exclaimed softly, looking at Xia Yu’s face, which was burning with excitement.

“Hmm, Mashu has a good eye,” Little Da Vinci said thoughtfully, stroking his chin. “It really does look alike!”

"Why are you saying that too?" Fujimaru Ritsuka stamped her foot upon hearing this, then turned to look at Xia Yu. "You be the judge, we don't look alike at all!"

“Indeed…it doesn’t look quite like it,” Xia Yu said with a smile.

Leonardo da Vinci nodded upon hearing this, not too surprised.

After all, he met Ritsuka in Babylon, the last singularity, and Ritsuka was already quite mature by then.

"Not really, but it's still somewhat similar," Mashu said subconsciously as she slowly walked over carrying a large pile of things.

"Why do you all say that?" Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head upon hearing this.

"Amiya, why didn't you contact me when you arrived?" Xia Yu sighed helplessly as she looked at Amiya, whose face was full of curiosity.

“Oh, sorry, I just couldn’t wait to see this base,” Amiya quickly explained, “Two hundred thousand infected people… From now on, we can live openly and honestly on this land.”

“I had a suspicion when she said she was coming to see you,” Fujimaru Ritsuka said, looking at Xia Yu. “This child isn’t the little apprentice you’re going to introduce to me, is she?”

"It seems you two hit it off," Xia Yu said with a smile. "So, I'm leaving Amiya in your care for the time being, is that alright?"

“Of course, no problem. I liked this child the moment I saw her,” Fujimaru Ritsuka said, turning to the latter. “Amiya, call me ‘Master’.”

“Master,” Amiya called out obediently.

"Hey," Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she heard this, "Shout it again!"

"master!"

506 The Husky That Went Wild

"Amiya, Amiya, look at this!" Fujimaru Ritsuka, like a husky let loose, dragged Amiya around the base by the hand.

"I'm the one who brought this warship back!"

"Master is amazing!" Amiya replied with a smile.

It was a warship abandoned at the front line, with a very beautiful hull design and a prominent white bow. It was obviously not a warship used by the military, and probably belonged to some family.

Only nobles would decorate their warships so lavishly. In the proper Ursus army, warships and other large units are known for their durability and resilience.

Because little Leonardo da Vinci and Sion were also quite curious about the mobile warships of this world, she landed a novel job when the base was short-handed.

However, saying that she drove it back... that's a bit of an exaggeration.

"Amiya, Amiya, look at this again!" Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed at the exasperated Sherlock Holmes. "This is our super, super, super famous detective!"

"Oh, hello, Detective," Amiya greeted politely.

"This must be the little apprentice Mr. Xia Yu found for you," Holmes nodded kindly to Amiya.

Amiya blinked as she read this; to be honest, she was quite curious about detectives.

"Hey, never mind him," Fujimaru Ritsuka said, looking at her as if she wanted to strike up a conversation, then pursed her lips. "The great detective is great in every way, except he's always the riddle teller. Sometimes talking to him can drive you crazy with curiosity!"

"Uh..." Amiya was taken aback when she heard this. Isn't it normal for a riddle person to be like this? Dr. Kal'tsit has always been like this.

“Amiya, Amiya, look at this again,” Fujimaru Ritsuka grabbed Captain Nemo’s shoulder and lifted him up in front of her proudly. “He’s Captain Nemo. Don’t let his small size fool you, he’s actually the biggest eater here!”

"You...you're slandering me out of thin air!" Captain Nemo couldn't hold back any longer. It's one thing to tease a child like me, and this child does seem quite likable, but you can't just say I'm the biggest eater without any basis!

"How can I eat this?"

"Oh, Captain, don't worry about such a small thing," she waved her hand with a smile, "besides, you've always had a big appetite!"

"Show me the evidence!" Captain Nemo declared, indicating that he would not accept the fabricated charges.

"Aren't all those sailors and professors on Storm Border just like you?" Fujimaru Ritsuka said matter-of-factly. "So many mouths, plus the mana consumption of the Nautilus, that's much higher than that of an ordinary Heroic Spirit."

"Look at our place, from Sherlock Holmes to Leonardo da Vinci, none of them consume as much energy as you!"

Seeing her confident and assertive manner, Captain Nemo was speechless for a moment.

Well, for a Heroic Spirit, treating the consumption of mana as eating doesn't seem so wrong, and judging from the example she gave... she does seem to be the one who can eat the most...

Seeing Captain Nemo deep in thought, Fujimaru Ritsuka made a victory sign and then looked at the new director.

“Amiya, Amiya, look at this uncle, he’s the new director, my boss,” Fujimaru Ritsuka said smugly, arms crossed. “But the most important person in Chaldea is your master, me!”

"Without me, this organization would have fallen apart sooner or later!"

Amiya looked at the chubby uncle.

"What do you mean, 'old man'? I'm only 29!!" The new director flew into a rage upon hearing this. "And besides, I have a name! Goldruff Mujik! At least include the name when introducing someone, okay?"

“Oh, it’s all the same. That’s what we usually call her,” Fujimaru Ritsuka waved her hand, then turned to look at Amiya.

"Amiya, Amiya, look at this ship!" She eagerly grabbed Amiya's hand and ran to the deck of Storm Border, leaving a group of adults looking at each other in bewilderment.

“This kid…” The new director put on a troubled look, but the smile on his lips betrayed his true feelings, “He’s going too far.”

"Although I'm being a bit excessive in eating, the kids are having such a good time, so let's just let it go," Captain Nemo muttered.

Holmes said nothing, simply drinking his black tea to himself.

But it also seems like they've said everything.

Ritsuka is so different today; she has completely lost her previous composure and caution.

But this may not be a bad thing.

So everyone tacitly approved of her recklessness.

When adults have the time and energy, they often condone some of a child's willful behavior, as this is a child's privilege.

Besides... it's not easy for her to have a time to relax. During this time, she doesn't have to think about how to survive, or face life-or-death situations time and time again.

"This ship can fly!"

"Not only can it fly, it's also incredibly powerful! It could carry us through a ten-thousand-year curse of a god without any problem!"

"What do you think? Isn't it beautiful?"

“It is truly beautiful,” Amiya said, her eyes shining as she looked at Storm Border. “Any national leader in the world would be willing to pay any price to obtain it.”

"Hey, what are they anyway?" Fujimaru Ritsuka waved her hand dismissively, then looked at Amiya's research. "Want some?"

"Huh? That can't be right," Amiya exclaimed, stunned. "Master, you need this ship even more!"

“Hey, it’s just a Spirit Origin Portrait,” Fujimaru Ritsuka waved her hand dismissively. “I’m quite familiar with Captain Nemo. I asked him to agree to provide his Spirit Origin Portrait to Xia Yu so he can build you a simple ride.”

“Ah, maybe we should forget about it,” Amiya said, though she was tempted, she ultimately chose to refuse. “Building a ship like this would definitely cost a lot. Rhodes Island’s resources need to be planned in detail right now, and our sales network hasn’t been spread throughout Terra yet.”

She counted on her fingers, thinking carefully, "The establishment of the new production line is still in preparation, and the current production of inhibitors is already very tight for the infected in Ursus and Kazimir."

“We don’t have extra money to do this. There are still many infected people living in dire straits on Terra, but thank you for your kindness anyway.”

“Sigh, now I know why Xia Yu entrusted you to me,” Fujimaru Ritsuka stared at Amiya for two seconds, then reached out and grabbed her serious little face and rubbed it repeatedly. “Be good, just listen to me, don’t think so much. I can tell you really like this ship.”

“But… Master…” Amiya struggled under her clutches, saying, “I can’t do this just because of my personal preferences…”

"You're only fourteen! Fourteen!" Fujimaru Ritsuka interrupted her, grinning as she said, "Come on, at this age you should be carefree. You don't need to think about so many things, okay?"

"But I can't..."

“You don’t have to carry everything on your shoulders!” Fujimaru Ritsuka pulled her into his arms and sat down on the deck with Amiya in his arms, facing the setting sun.

"That would be very tiring."

“But… this is my mission,” Amiya replied, pursing her lips.

“Mission…mission…” Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed twice upon hearing this, then said seriously, “Since you have called me master, I will now teach you the first lesson!”

"Distinguish between enemies and friends!"

"Then find a powerful enough patron among your friends and latch onto him!"
