"If it's not ulterior motives, then how about calling it malicious intent?" Suri noticed Theresa's reaction, and for a moment even put the game aside, turning to look at Theresa's pouting face because of his words:
"Otherwise what? Do you want to pounce on me here? Wouldn't that just confirm what I said?"
“I…” Theresa was speechless, choked by Suri’s words, then snorted coldly and leaned back on the sofa in annoyance:
"You're busy right now, so I won't bother you."
As she spoke, Theresa closed her eyes, seemingly intending to rest for a while.
Soon, Ramalien returned to the underground archives with several of her little banshees, personally carrying dinner for Suri and Theresa.
After noticing how peacefully Suri and Theresa got along, Ramallian's eyes flickered, and she smiled as she approached Suri and Theresa, setting out their dinner.
"Let's take a break and have dinner first, okay?"
“Mm.” Suri nodded, put down her phone, and looked at Ramallian:
"By the way, the underground library needs twice as many bookshelves so I can put the translated and organized documents up there. I can't just leave them in front of you every time, can I?"
Ramallian thought for a moment and nodded: "I will arrange for someone to handle this matter as soon as possible... If the noise from the underground library is too loud, will it affect your work?"
"No, but it will affect my gaming. Put it away. You guys are so good at magic, wouldn't it be easy for you to use magic to keep quiet?"
Suri glanced at Ramallian with a puzzled look, only to see a smile playing on Ramallian's lips, as if she had thought of something.
"Such a spell does exist, but we usually only use it on the battlefield to suppress the opponent's sorcerers. I never thought it could be used in this kind of situation."
Ramalien nodded, then seemed to be using a communication spell again, but Suri was currently focused on collecting and analyzing data, and there was no extra computing power to spare for scanning her field of vision.
After all, Suri wasn't particularly familiar with Lamarle, so he didn't pay attention, subconsciously
He leaned closer to Theresa, resting against her and continuing to play with his phone.
"What's wrong?" Theresa didn't believe that Suri would be close to her for no reason, so she whispered in Suri's ear to ask.
"...I'm worried that they might accidentally explode while studying the spells in the book. If something really goes wrong, I'll just push you out as a shield."
Suri leaned up against Theresa's chest, answered her question, and then continued playing her game.
Although they were speaking in hushed tones, Theresa and Ramallian both knew that the other could hear them, and that the other knew that they could hear her.
So the two exchanged a smile, and Theresa whispered reassuringly, "Don't worry, the Lamaren and the banshees are very prudent and won't experiment with spells in the library."
Suri nodded, ignoring Theresa's comment. The young banshees, however, exchanged awkward glances and quietly put away their staffs.
If casting a spell in the Great Archives causes some problems, I'm afraid I'll never be allowed to enter the library again for the rest of my life! That would be worse than death!
The young banshees were terrified by what had not happened, but at least they kept quiet.
However, since chatting with Suri wouldn't interfere with her analytical work, Theresa felt relieved and continued to ask the questions she was curious about:
"Speaking of which, how long do you estimate it will take you to finish analyzing all these classic texts?"
"It should be ready in about an hour."
Suri continued playing his game without looking up, casually mentioning a time that surprised even Theresa, a complete novice. The banshees beside him stopped flipping through their books and stared wide-eyed in Suri's direction.
To avoid being discovered by the banshees peeping, Theresa lowered her head, her hair falling down to block Suri's view:
"Could it be that, Su Rui, you're referring to all the books in this entire underground library?"
"Otherwise what? To be honest, I think this speed is a bit too slow."
Prince of Kazdel: 328 Superior System: That's because you didn't think for yourself.
At least Su Rui's computing power came from the previous civilization. According to Su Rui's own understanding, even if the underground library had more books than the entire tower library, it should only take him a few minutes to process them, given his computing power from the previous civilization.
But now it takes him almost six hours.
If you focus your attention on the calculations, it will indeed only take a few minutes. You are the most important component of the computing power; the calculations are currently being performed by auxiliary operation units.
It seems the higher-level system wasn't satisfied with Su Rui's rating and actually jumped out to refute him.
Suri then took the opportunity to ask about things she was more interested in:
"So, Preses, what happened to that question you asked me before, about the destruction and survival of civilizations? Give me an answer!"
The superior system pretended to be dead and remained silent again. Su Rui rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, lowered her head, and continued playing the game.
Suri's reaction was quite obvious to Theresa and Ramalyn. Unlike Ramalyn, who could only peek but couldn't ask directly, Theresa directly voiced her curiosity:
"What's wrong with Suri?"
"It's nothing. I just asked my mom another question, but she pretended to be dead and ignored me."
Suri was speaking casually, but Theresa suddenly stiffened, looking around uncertainly and asking Suri:
"Suri, do you mean your mother has been watching all along? But isn't your mother a doctor?"
"...It's not that I want to emphasize it, but I do have two mothers. I'm a product of genetic engineering."
As Su Rui spoke, she casually offered an explanation:
"In case you actually have some biological knowledge and want to question me about why two women with double XX chromosomes could give birth to me, a male with an XY chromosome, I can only say that genes can be modified, so why can't chromosomes? Don't underestimate the development of technology."
Theresa paused for a moment: "I didn't mean to question you."
“I know, but you don’t need to worry about it. This old Deng has almost no ability to communicate with the outside world except with me, so you don’t need to worry about her running up to you and questioning you about why you have ulterior motives towards me.”
"I just wanted to be a little closer to you because of my feelings for you, Suri."
As Theresa relaxed, she couldn't help but hug Suri's waist with a hint of helplessness: "Don't talk about me like that, it will hurt my feelings."
"...Okay, I understand."
Suri glanced up at Theresa, then continued playing her game, occasionally taking a bite of her dinner.
Theresa had already tried to dissuade her once, but Suri had developed a habit of playing games even while eating.
So, when Suri was busy playing games and didn't have time to eat, Theresa would help by picking up a snack and putting it in Suri's arms.
However, Suri didn't notice, but Theresa did. Both Ramallian and the young banshees heard the conversation and were even chuckling.
Theresa glared at the banshees, who immediately sat up straight, pretending to be engrossed in their books and oblivious to their surroundings. However, Ramalien was not afraid; instead, she gave Theresa a mocking smile.
Even in her current slightly flushed state, when faced with the teasing from her old friend Ramallian, Theresa chose to look away and not look at her, focusing instead on her intimate interaction with Suri.
Soon, after finishing a game, Suri leaned against Theresa's chest, put down her phone, let out a long sigh, and then put the phone away.
"Not playing anymore?" Theresa asked curiously.
"Well, now that the work is done, there's no need to slack off at this time."
Suri nodded, attracting the attention of the succubi, but instead of standing up to take out the translated texts she had prepared, she continued to lean against Theresa's chest and slowly eat her dinner.
At this moment, faced with the vast treasure trove of knowledge, even Ramallian, the queen of the banshees, couldn't help but feel excited and expectant.
Suri was eating slowly, seemingly enjoying her leisurely time from last night's work, and "theoretically" they shouldn't be able to hear her.
Ramallian winked at Theresa, wanting her help.
But Theresa, who had just been teased by her friends, didn't care. She was quite happy to see Ramallian looking anxious, so Theresa suppressed the smile on her lips, hugged Suri from behind, and nuzzled Suri's cheek.
However, what they didn't know was that after freeing up the computing power of the auxiliary operating system, Su Rui had already turned on the resident scanning field again. Although he could also start the scanning field when the auxiliary operating system was occupied, Su Rui didn't want to.
Now, Suri noticed Theresa and Ramallian's interaction: "...What are you two doing, winking at each other?"
Suri whispered in Theresa's ear, but Ramalyn could hear her. She was startled, but pretended nothing had happened.
"They're just mocking my old friend."
Theresa smiled and explained, then feigned curiosity, though actually quite flustered, asked, "But Suri, you noticed that just now? You're very observant!"
"Because my scanning field of view has restarted."
Suri said casually, noticing Theresia's puzzled pause, and then changed her approach to one that Suri could understand:
"Simply put, my attention was drawn back to the data analysis, so I could notice subtle changes in my surroundings, understand?"
Theresa nodded, while Lamarlene and the young banshees beside her continued to pretend to be engrossed in their books. After all, they had heard what Suri said, and they certainly couldn't give themselves away.
So the succubi had no choice but to actually focus their attention on the books in their hands.
Although the knowledge I possess is valuable, it is not as attractive as the knowledge in Su Rui's entire underground library.
Therefore, the succubi couldn't help but be somewhat distracted while reading.
Suri leisurely finished her dinner, wiped her mouth with a tissue in Theresa's arms, then paused for a moment before realizing what she was about to do and lazily and slowly stood up from Theresa's embrace.
At this moment, other banshees were already in the underground Great Archives. Because Su Ruizhi had requested that the Great Archives be expanded to twice its original size, the banshees were quietly carrying out the expansion work under the effect of a silencing spell.
Prince of Kazdel: 329 The Banshees' Reward
While Ramallian and the other young banshees waited anxiously, the banshees finally completed their expansion of the underground library.
Then, under their eager gazes, Su Rui waved.
All the books and artifacts that were originally on the shelves of the Great Archives suddenly disappeared and then reappeared.
The only difference is that each of these ancient books has an additional version translated by Su Rui next to it, which is why twice the space is needed.
Ramallian and the banshees stared in astonishment at the books that had disappeared and reappeared on the bookshelf. After randomly picking one up and flipping through it, they discovered that it was the same as the translated versions they had seen before.
"I didn't expect you to finish translating these classic texts so quickly."
Ramallian nodded to Suri, her tone now tinged with admiration.
"Of course, this type of thing is a piece of cake for me."
Su Rui recalled what the superior system had said: if he focused his attention on it, it would only take a few minutes. A pleasant smile crept onto his lips.
However, a few minutes is a bit too shocking for Terra and the banshees, so let's just forget about it.
Faced with Suri's childlike boasting and looking at the adorable young man before her, Ramallian smiled and nodded, glancing sideways at the young banshees beside her:
“I think you have provided us with such a vast treasure trove of knowledge that the banshees are willing to do anything for you, even… fight for you. If you really need it, we would be happy to do so.”
Even Ramallian, when she heard Theresa make this suggestion, thought she was probably just joking, or that she could only complete part of the translation work.
Even so, it's still a very generous reward, enough to attract many young succubi to fight for Suri or do other things for her.
But to Ramallian's surprise, Suri actually translated all the ancient books.
Such a vast treasure… “We will never forget this gift. On behalf of all the banshees, I express our sincerest gratitude to you.”
A respectful expression appeared on Ramallian's face beneath her veil as she bowed slightly to Suri, who stood beside Theresa, in a gesture of respect.
"Hmm, but don't forget, this is a deal, or rather a partnership. Don't try to get something for nothing."
As Su Rui nodded, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
Theresa looked at Suri with some helplessness as he spoke such willful words in such a serious setting, but only gave Ramallian an apologetic look and did not stop Suri.
Ramallian didn't care either. Just by watching Suri and Theresa interact, she already had a general idea of what kind of person Suri was: a willful but adorable child who wasn't annoying.
A pleased smile involuntarily crept onto Ramallian's lips.
"Of course, the banshees won't do anything that others will do for free. From now on, the Valley of Tears and the banshees are on the side of the Tower of Babel. We will provide you with manpower and magical assistance, and so will I."
"Huh?" Suri was taken aback and looked at Ramalien: "Didn't the banshees not want to participate in the Sarkaz internal war? Besides, I thought you would all stay in the library and stay up all night studying."
“Because you gave us a condition we couldn’t refuse.” Ramallian said, walking up to Suri. Noticing Theresa subtly protecting Suri from getting any closer, she stood there and explained:
"Although the sirens love knowledge and reading, not all of them are obsessed with knowledge. Their long lifespan gives them a more relaxed sense of time, allowing them to do what they want whenever they feel like it."
Ramallian spoke in a very literary style, but Suri didn't bother with any of those fancy words. He simply stated Ramallian's words in a straightforward manner:
"So, some people just coast along with their long lifespans, right? They only go back to reading when they feel like it?"
Suri crossed her arms and looked at Ramallian with a teasing smile.
Instead of being angry, Ramallian nodded, then turned to look at the banshees who had gathered after hearing that the translation of the Great Archives was already complete.
Many of the banshees couldn't help but look away guiltily when Ramallian's gaze swept over them.
Finally, Ramallian turned her gaze to Suri: "So, in other words, we can send a significant number of banshees to Babel to fight for you... Suri, you should remember those stories from the ancient texts, right?"
Before Ramallian could continue, Suri nodded knowingly.
“I see, I understand now. Many succubi are too lazy to read books, but they are very tired of listening to others tell stories, right? Don’t worry, I remember all the books. After all, I translated them word by word.”
Moreover, wouldn't this be considered a form of intelligence gathering? Now the Surreys know more about Terra's civilization than the Terrans do.
Ramallian nodded: "I also like to listen to stories when I'm tired, but there aren't any banshees in the Valley of Tears who like to tell stories. Everyone just likes to listen to stories."
