It is a huge mansion that blends perfectly with the surrounding environment, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with a variety of highly ornamental green plants. When pedestrians walk along the winding roads and through the uninhabited jungle, and their eyes suddenly open up to the huge Casazale Palace, all that will remain in their hearts is shock.

The mottled sunlight poured down on every brick and tile of the Casazzale Palace, as if coating it with a layer of golden shell. It was so dreamy, like a perfect courtyard that only existed in fantasy. All this was reflected in Kavi's eyes, but his attention had already been focused on his own heart.

"Sure, that's great." Dolly's voice interrupted Kavi's thoughts. She was very satisfied with the finished product. This work, which took every possibility into consideration, perfectly demonstrated the talent of a great architect. "But I looked at the bill. There's a small overrun on the project, right? I'll advance this overrun, just like the 30%, and it will become your debt later."

"...I understand." Kavi closed his eyes. After the initial excitement, all that was left was a mixture of complex emotions. Dolly was indeed a businessman. She was praising his abilities one moment and talking about gains and losses the next. He risked everything to build a mansion that had never belonged to him from the beginning.

Before the Casazale Palace was completed, Kavi devoted himself to it. He did not think about what would happen after that. He polished the Casazale Palace as if it were the last work of his life. As for what he would do after it was completed, Kavi never thought about it.

"It's so strange... My ideal should have been realized, why do I feel empty now?" Kavi looked up at the sky and muttered to himself. He was now like a piece of firewood that had been burned fiercely, with only ashes left on the ground. There was nothing in the ashes, only endless emptiness.

The moth flew towards the flame and its ideal without hesitation, and was eventually burned to ashes. Kavi was like Icarus chasing the sky. He only saw the "sun" in his eyes but did not realize that he was just a human body, and his wings were gradually melting under the scorching sun.

Dreams are beautiful, but Kavi does not live in the fantasy kingdom in the sky, but in the Xumi City on earth. He has nothing now.

"I don't care about that. If you include your design fee and salary this time, it will just make up for the excess plus 10% of the project payment, so you still have a debt of nearly 20% of the construction cost. I won't add interest to you, lest others say that I, Master Sangge Mahabayi, don't give them a way to live." Dolly waved her hand and slowly walked towards the Casazale Palace. The necessary furniture and decoration had been prepared, and she could move in directly.

"...Ha." Kavi looked at Dolly's slowly walking away back and sighed deeply. It seemed that he not only had nothing now, but was also a "multi-millionaire in debt."

After standing there for a while, Kavimai moved his feet. There was a burst of noise coming from the Casazzale Palace behind him. It was the ribbon-cutting ceremony held by Dolly. She had hired people to promote it when the exterior was built but the interior decoration was not yet arranged, and she had followed up the progress and carried out multiple promotions since then.

The gimmicks of "super luxury house with an investment of over 100 million yuan" and "designed with great effort by a genius architect" attracted many people. Among those who came here today, those who were able to enter the interior for a visit were those who bought tickets. Dolly's publicity was not just for showing off, but also to make another fortune.

I thought the place must be bustling with people at this time, but unfortunately... the noise was theirs and had nothing to do with Kavi.

Kavi didn't remember how he walked back to Xumi City. It was obviously a long distance from there, but Kavi felt like he arrived there in the blink of an eye. However, the waves of fatigue coming from all over his body did not seem fake.

Kavi sat down at a table outside the tavern and rummaged through his pockets. There were only a few Mora left, about three hundred. This should be the only money he had at the moment. Compared with his debt... it was like the dust on the ground and the stars in the sky. Conservatively speaking, if he paid back 160 Mora a month, it would take him more than 2 years to pay it back. His debt was as much as million Mora, and Mora a month was already a very high income.

Kavi had never felt that Xumi City was so quiet. The waiter of the Lambad Tavern came up and asked Kavi if he needed anything. Kavi asked for a bottle of cheap but strong enough wine.

"That's strange," the waiter said as he reached the counter where the owner, Lambard, sat to get some wine. "I saw in the newspaper that the Alcazar Palace is complete. It's a truly magnificent mansion—and Kavi, the designer, was ultimately paid a whopping 20 million Mora. He's clearly a multimillionaire, so why would he buy such low-quality wine?"

"Don't always worry about other people's affairs. Maybe it's just their preference. Just like I still don't understand why some people would like to drink something as disgusting as coffee." The owner Lambad rolled his eyes at the clerk, who thought it made sense, so he let the matter go and gave the wine to Kavi.

Kavi poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one breath. The burning sensation burned his esophagus, causing him to cough for a long time and tears to well up in his eyes.

The taste of this wine is indeed not very good, but it is really strong enough. Just in the gap between lowering my head and raising it again, a little drunkenness has already enveloped my brain.

Kavi's vision became a little blurry. The warm yellow light illuminated the surrounding roads. It was already very late and the streets became lonely. There was a slight breeze, but Kavi could no longer feel the chill brought by the wind.

When the initial enthusiasm faded, all that remained was cold ashes. Kavi felt as if there was an invisible wall between him and everything in front of him. He had never felt so lonely.

What would he do next? What about the debt he would have to pay off for more than twenty years, even if he only calculated his highest income in that year? Kavi didn't know the answer.

After another glass of wine, Kavi lost almost half of his consciousness. His face and nose turned red, and he looked distraught. Fortunately, he was sitting in a very inconspicuous corner, where the light could not reach him. People passing by occasionally could not see him, and even if they saw him, they would just think he was a drunkard who needed to be avoided as soon as possible. No one would have thought that this was the great architect Kavi who had completed a shocking work that was worthy of being recorded in history.

Kavi drank a whole bottle of wine in four glasses. His consciousness was completely blurred, and half of his upper body was slumped on the table. The strong smell of alcohol filled the air around him, but Kavi only felt that he had gained a moment of "peace".

The problems that had been piling up one after another completely disappeared from Kavi's mind at this moment, and Kavi's consciousness gradually fell into complete silence.

When Kavi woke up again, the smell of incense that could calm his mind came into his nostrils, and the slight headache left by the hangover made him cry out in pain.

"Doctor, he's awake." The voices of conversation on the side came into Kavi's ears, along with what happened last night. He remembered that he drank a lot of alcohol in one breath, and now... it seemed like he was in the Health Home?

Health Home is a common medical institution in Xumi. In the current Xumi City, as long as the disease is not too rare, the treatment is free and funded by the House of Religion - of course, Xumi City residents who enjoy these benefits need to pay a certain amount of medical insurance every year, but compared with these benefits, the money Mora pays for medical insurance is not worth mentioning.

"Can you tell what number this is?" A strong man who didn't look like a doctor came up to Kavi, looked at Kavi who sat up on the bed and supported his head, and raised his middle finger.

"It's the middle finger...hiss—my head hurts." Kavi gasped, and the doctor just rolled his eyes at him. "You drink without restraint. If you hadn't been sent here last night, we could have contacted the crematorium directly this morning to collect your body! Now it's just a headache caused by a hangover. Consider this little pain a lesson for you!"

As he said this, the doctor glanced at Kavi with annoyance. He could have prescribed a special medicine to make the hangover headache disappear within a few minutes, but he chose not to. According to his calculations, the current pain was still a long way from the danger threshold. It was just a good opportunity to teach this kid a lesson and not drink so much in the future.

"Eh? Doctor, this guy looks familiar to me." The assistant who had originally reminded the doctor looked at Kavi's face and compared it with his memory. "Oh! I remember now, isn't this Senior Kavi? I'm your junior who graduated from the Myo-ron School the year before! I saw the Casazzale Palace you designed, it's absolutely magnificent!"

The assistant was quite excited for a moment. Kavi looked at the assistant's face and confirmed that he did not know this junior. "Junior from the Miaolun School? Then why are you doing the work of the Shenglun School now? Huh..."

"Oh, that's the field of the causal school of sociology, don't mention it!" The assistant poured a cup of tea for Kavi and carefully added cold water to it so that the water temperature was just right for drinking. Kavi thanked him and took a sip. For a moment, he felt a lot warmer in his stomach, but his stomach, which had not eaten anything for a day and night and had been tormented by alcohol all night, also made a grumbling protest.

"Haha, I really don't know what's wrong with you, senior. Why do you suddenly drink so much alcohol at one time? Did you encounter any troubles?" The assistant handed two packs of compressed biscuits in his pocket to Kavey. These were his emergency food for dealing with the overly busy peak hours. Kavey, who was short of money, couldn't resist this free food. He was really hungry, so he took it impatiently, tore open a pack and stuffed it into his mouth.

The doctor shook his head and went about his business. The assistant reminded Kavi not to choke. He was quite kind-hearted and concluded that Senior Kavi must have encountered some troubles, such as a broken heart. He understood this feeling very well, so he offered words of comfort: "Although I don't know what you've encountered, there's no need to abuse your body like this."

"I heard that Senior Kavi earned tens of millions of Mora from designing the Casazale Palace. He must have become a multi-millionaire. One of the most regrettable things in life is probably dying with your money unspent. Senior Kavi, you're still so young and have so much money. Add to that the fame that comes with being the designer of the Casazale Palace, and you have a bright future ahead of you. You haven't even had a chance to enjoy life properly yet, so don't let it get to you."

"..." Kavi's eating of the compressed biscuits paused, and those memories came back to him, but after a moment he continued to eat the compressed biscuits, agreeing with his junior's words as if nothing had happened.

Come to think of it, in the eyes of many people, he is already a multi-millionaire and a famous architectural designer. In order to pay off his debts as soon as possible and solve his current livelihood problems, he must not tell others that he is bankrupt. That will cause a huge credibility crisis. If he can't get any work at that time, he will not be able to make money to repay the loan.

"Senior Kawi is truly a genius. Alas, unlike me, I finally graduated and couldn't find a job. I studied for five years but ended up with nowhere to show for it. I really didn't want to go somewhere with such low returns. Finally, a friend recommended me to be an assistant here. Now I'm almost halfway through completing the Zhilun School's medical professional knowledge. If I had known this, why would I have joined the Miaolun School? I should have gone to the Zhilun School from the beginning. I've wasted five years of my youth in vain..."

The assistant was still talking, but Kavi's attention was no longer there. He just nodded from time to time, thinking about something.

Chapter 71: Journey to Daochenglin

"Are you asking about the person who brought you here last night? She said her name was Naifi, and she's a student of the Sulun School. I know her. She was the most popular freshman a year ago. The freezers that started appearing in stores and even homes six months ago were her designs. Because of her research on refrigerant, she received a piece of real estate through an academic contribution evaluation this year—but compared to the Mora she earned from selling the refrigerant patent, that's probably nothing."

"Speaking of which, after she brought you here last night, she mentioned that you should go see her this morning, but she didn't tell me her address or contact information. I was so busy at the time that I forgot to ask."

The assistant explained to Kavi, who had almost recovered, with unstoppable yearning and envy in his words. Others made money from Mora as if it was a piece of cake. When would he be able to have that kind of ability and means?

"Is that so? Thank you so much, junior." Kavi nodded after hearing this. The other person had saved his life, so he had to thank him no matter what. This was just in time. "I'll be leaving first and go visit this classmate. We can talk again when I'm free."

"Okay, senior, take care. Remember to take care of yourself." The assistant reminded him enthusiastically. Kavi nodded and picked up his suitcase. He asked along the way and first found the house that Nafi had rented before. As a result, he saw a notice on the door that the original tenant had moved out, but he also saw the address of the new residence on it.

When Kavi arrived at the new residence, he was turned away again. There were only a group of housekeepers busying around inside. After Kavi asked, he learned that they were the people hired by Nafi to be responsible for the initial cleaning of the new house. When the housekeepers learned that this person was Kavi, they handed Kavi a letter.

[Dearly, respected architect Mr. Kavi, I have just moved into this house. Although it is spacious, it has very little furniture, and I don't like the original one. I would like to hire you to redecorate the interior and add some furniture that you think is suitable. The style should not be too fancy, and the rest is up to you.]

The budget shouldn't exceed one million Mora. There's no need for anything extravagant. The construction period is one month. You can hire a construction team that works for you within your budget. As for the cost, I've already informed the bank in advance. It's the one in Xumi City, located next to the Liyue Golden House. You can go there to withdraw the money with the token in the letter and your ID. You can stay there temporarily during the construction period.

[As for the compensation, I've also informed the bank in advance. A 1 yuan deposit has already been deposited into your account. You need to bring your ID to the staff to verify your identity, and then you can receive the money. As for the remaining 9 yuan, I will pay you after the project is completed.]

"10W!!" Along with Kavi's surprise, the last bit of drunkenness disappeared. Kavi gasped for breath. He could not believe that what he saw was real.

根据他与多莉的合约,此后他每个月9/10的收入都要用于还债,但即使这样也能够剩下1W,这1W省着点花的话完全能撑过7、8个月!——若是不考虑住处问题的话。

Originally, he had no idea what the "extremely rich" meant by his former junior, but now he completely understood. A budget of 100 million yuan, plus a return of 10 yuan, what kind of super rich man is this?

What's more important is that she even allowed him to withdraw money within the 100 million Mora budget, as if the 100 million was insignificant to her, and she didn't worry at all that he would run away with the money.

Kavi's joy attracted the attention of the housekeeping staff around him. Most of them took a look and then went back to their work. This house had been uninhabited for a while and really needed a good cleaning. Only one nosy staff member looked over.

"The owner of this house wants to ask Architect Kavi to design the house decoration? Then the reward of 10 is quite reasonable. Architect Kavi, you don't have to be so excited. You are the one who designed the El Casazare Palace! There will be many more jobs like this in the future!" The housekeeper complimented, and Kavi just responded with a polite smile. The housekeeper knew some inside stories of this industry, but only a little.

As your fame increases, your value will indeed increase, but this is not entirely beneficial - it also means that your chances of getting work will decrease.

This might sound counterintuitive at first, but it's actually true. If someone isn't determined to pursue high quality, they won't hire Kavey. And as for Kavey lowering his prices? That's even more troublesome. It would disrupt the market and incur the dissatisfaction of his peers. If someone envious of him were to discover that he's bankrupt, he'd be completely screwed. He'd be ready to die.

But as the initial surprise faded, what came over him was a deep sense of confusion. Kavi always felt that this timely relief came too timely. He was in the most difficult time right now, and someone gave him such generous treatment at this time, as if - as if he had predicted the future.

"Oh, I really envy you, I just don't have this ability--" the housekeeper sighed and returned to work. There was not even a trace of jealousy in his tone. Kavi had surpassed him so much at the moment. People always envy those who they think are only slightly better than themselves, because it seems that they can catch up with this point with an effort, but if they find that the other person is much better than themselves, they will not be so jealous.

Just like a beggar would not usually envy the king for being richer than himself, but he would envy another beggar who begged more money than himself.

"...Forget it." Kavi carefully put the letter and the token with the symbol of life into the suitcase and gave up thinking about the strangeness in it.

Anyway, he really needed the money. Instead of wondering why this person was so generous, he might as well conceive the interior design of the house as early as possible and repay him with the most perfect effect.

With this thought in mind, Kavi walked into the house and began to observe the structure inside.

……

"Jealousy is the feeling of shame, resentment, or even hostility that arises from comparing oneself to others and discovering that one's talents, appearance, achievements, reputation, status, money, luck, etc. are inferior to theirs."

"It's often associated with competitiveness and strong ambition, but it's not quite the same." Amber took Ah Ji and sat in a cart pulled by pack animals. Recently, there happened to be a transport team going to trade supplies with the forest rangers. Originally, the team didn't want to take her and Ah Ji to Daocheng Forest, but Amber directly paid three times the price, so they sat in the cart pulled by pack animals - this was Amber's first time riding in a car, although it was a little bumpy on the dirt road, but it was better than walking on foot, right?

Amber could naturally choose to transform into an eagle and take Ah Ji with her, but this time she planned to return to Xumi City in a month and move directly into the new house. So there was no need to rush. It would be nice to get in the car and see the scenery along the way.

There's an old saying in Liyue: "He who can endure the trials of nature is a true hero." It means that those who can withstand the hardships encountered in life are truly heroes. There's another old saying in Liyue: "If no one is jealous, then you are not talented." It means that if someone has never been envied by others, then they are definitely not truly talented. These two sayings have a long history, dating back many years. The fact that the ancients could say such things means that 'jealousy' appeared in human society very early and has persisted to this day. It is a very common psychological phenomenon."

"So, jealousy is normal, and it's not as bad as imagined. On the contrary, it can give people the motivation to move forward?" Aji thought and gave a response. Amber curled her lips slightly when she saw this.

"Of course not! Jealousy is jealousy, not ambition or anything else. There's a reason for that." Amber paused. "First of all, Nayla, you need to understand that jealousy is a very bad and dangerous mentality."

"I remember someone said something that I thought made a lot of sense. He said there's something very ugly in the human heart. It's called 'hating what you have, laughing at what you don't have, despising your poverty, and fearing your wealth.' That statement really nailed the essence of jealousy; it's extremely ugly."

"I've already explained what jealousy is at the beginning. So if a person is constantly jealous of others—jealous of others who are richer than him, jealous of others who are more beautiful than him, jealous of others who are more capable than him... and so on and so forth—then over time, what kind of people will be around him?"

Amber raised a question, and Aji fell into deep thought again. After a moment, he spoke: "He will surround himself with people who are not as good as him, because that way he won't be jealous of them."

"Yes, very smart." Amber didn't hesitate to praise him and rubbed his head. He didn't feel disgusted by this as he did in the desert at first. She had gotten used to it after so long. "That's when the dangers of jealousy appear. How can you achieve anything if you keep hanging out with people who are not as good as you? - I mean, how can you grow as a person?"

"There's also an old saying from Liyue: 'Don't make friends with those who are inferior to you.' It means don't make friends with those who are inferior to you. Obviously, when it comes to making friends, you can't just follow this saying. What it actually means is that you should make friends with those who are better than you and learn from them to improve yourself."

"There's a saying that goes, 'Make friends who are beneficial to you.' What are beneficial friends? There's an old saying you can refer to: 'Friends who are honest, understanding, and knowledgeable are the three beneficial friends.' It means those who are upright, trustworthy, and knowledgeable are truly beneficial friends. How can you truly become strong if you constantly hang out with a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp? The environment has a huge impact on people."

"At the same time, the following part of this sentence also describes the three kinds of friends who are harmful: friends who are eccentric, friends who are kind and gentle, and friends who are flatterers. These friends are insidious, flattering, and cunning. Of course, with the development of today's era, flattery has often become a necessity. Many ancient sayings should be viewed dialectically, taking the essence and discarding the dross. The original meaning of this sentence is to stay away from friends who only bring harm to oneself."

"The consequence of this statement is obvious. Only by interacting more with good friends can one grow. Allowing jealousy to fester will only lead to the loss of these friends. It will also darken a person's emotions, and over time, it can easily lead to mental illness. This is the danger of jealousy, and why it's ugly and needs to be overcome. It's normal to feel jealous of those who are stronger than you, but you can't let it fester and grow. You must curb this thought in a timely manner."

"When good things happen to others, we should offer our blessings. When others are better than us, we should acknowledge them generously. At the same time, we should learn from their strengths to complement our own. This way, we will improve both our interpersonal relationships and our personal abilities, and gradually we will be able to let go of jealousy. When jealousy is abandoned, our horizons will be broadened, our hearts will be more open, and we will even feel more comfortable in life. This is a change in mindset, and the benefits it brings are multifaceted."

"I understand now. It seems that there is a reason why these ancient sayings have been passed down to the present day." Ah Ji clenched her right fist and tapped lightly on the palm of her left hand, as if she had suddenly realized something. Her understanding of human beings has reached a new level.

"That's right, that's right." Amber chuckled a few times. This time, it was Aji who asked her why people were jealous, so she just talked about it casually. For a while, she dug out many ancient sayings from her memory.

Some people in the transport team heard the conversation between Amber and Aji. The person riding on the pack animal and responsible for driving the pack animal heard every word of the conversation from beginning to end. He fell into deep thought and felt that he had benefited a lot today.

Chapter 72: First Encounter with Cole

Starting from Xumi City, follow the main road around a circle and a half, and walk for a few hours to reach Huacheng City. If you turn north at this time, you will reach Xiangzui Slope. There is a river valley between Xiangzui Slope and Xumi City, called Lidu Valley. If you go north along Xiangzui Slope, you will reach the huge mansion located between Ronggu Cave and Wuyu Forest - Al Casazale Palace.

However, the destination of the transport team and the amber was not there, but Huachengguo where the forest rangers gathered. It was a village close to Xumi City and one of the places with the most ideal ecological environment. Therefore, many scholars from the Zhilun School, Shenglun School and even Sulun School would choose to conduct research or practice here. The forest rangers were originally a group of people who gathered spontaneously to protect the local ecology. Later, as more residents and scholars came here, they also took on work similar to that of guards.

By now, the Forest Rangers had become an official organization recognized by the Council of Ecclesiastes. Compared to staying in Xumi City, this was a solid frontier in ecological research. Therefore, Tinari, who set his sights on academic research, came directly here after graduation and became a Forest Ranger.

"Okay, we're here. Remember to inform the forest rangers here, and remember not to run around. Although the environment here looks good, it contains many poisonous substances. There have been many cases of poisoning due to contact with poisonous plants." After the team stopped, the leader of the transport team went to the back to inform Amber and Aji. Amber nodded and jumped off the wooden truck.

"I originally received an invitation from the forest ranger to come here to participate in some work matters, and docking is part of the job." Amber took the shoulder bag from Aji and observed the city wall in front of him.

Huachengguo is not a very large settlement, with a conservative estimate of only a few hundred people at most. However, the entire settlement is built on the trunk of a very large crooked tree, which is quite a strange scene.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem. I still need to instruct my men to move the supplies in, so I won't accompany you any longer." The leader of the transport team nodded and returned to the front of the team. Amber looked at the houses on a higher place and slowly walked over with Aji.

There is a lot of green grass growing on this tree, and from time to time you can see clusters of various mushrooms and wood ears. The houses here are mainly built with wood, with sloping eaves and roofs covered with hay and huge leaves.

There are street lights on both sides of the road, or more precisely, upright poles for placing luminous stones. There is a small basket on the top of the pole to protect against wind and rain. Walking on this short road of just one hundred meters, you can see groups of two or three bright-colored birds standing together. This kind of bird is similar to the toucan in the previous life, with a huge beak and colorful feathers on its body. They are much braver than other birds, and many times they remain unmoved even when people walk very close to them.

This kind of bird doesn't have much meat, so few people would eat it specifically. Perhaps that's why they don't see humans as a threat.

Rangers often wear green uniforms and carry various tools and weapons. Amber randomly found a ranger and asked him the location of Tinari's residence.

"You mean the High Ranger? Ah—you're the Naifeh, aren't you? I've heard of you. The High Ranger mentioned you yesterday. The High Ranger lives over there, and that Collet kid should be around there too, probably tending to a sick person or something."

"Grand Patrolman? I feel like that title is similar to Grand Disciplinary Officer," Ah Ji interjected, and the Patrolman responded, "It was inspired by the position of Grand Disciplinary Officer. There's really no hierarchy among Patrolmen, but since Senior Tinari arrived, our work model has improved significantly, and many of our previous headaches have been resolved. Senior truly deserves to be a top student of the School of the Imperial Academy. His wisdom is truly extraordinary!"

"That's why we discussed it briefly and decided that it would be more appropriate to address you as the Grand Ranger." When mentioning the Ranger, he seemed a little proud, as if he thought the title was very good from the bottom of his heart.

Amber chatted for a few more words with the talkative and cheerful ranger, and after saying goodbye, she rushed to where Tinari was. Tinari's house was connected to a temporary room with many mats on the floor, which was probably a place used to provide recuperation for patients. Amber could smell the fragrance of incense coming from it. In Xumi, this smell is basically associated with places with medical purposes such as health homes.

"Take these pills, and then pay attention to a proper diet and good health for the next few days, combined with some low-intensity exercise." Tinari handed a packet of medicine to a scholar, who quickly thanked him, "Thank you, senior! But is this really enough?"

"It would be hard to say under normal circumstances, but be thankful you accidentally ate a mildly poisonous mushroom this time. Otherwise, you'd have to stay in bed for a day or two." Tinari's lips curled slightly, his words adding a hint of intimidation. "In Daocheng Forest, deaths from accidentally ingesting poisonous mushrooms occur every year. If you're so reckless again next time, you might end up like one of those unlucky souls."

"Ah!" The scholar was startled. He nodded repeatedly, saying that he would never eat wild animals or plants that he didn't recognize next time. Seeing that the scholar really listened to him, Tinari signaled him to leave.

"It seems that the daily work of our chief forest patrol officer is not easy either." Amber pushed open the door with a smile, carrying a shoulder bag, and there was a strong sense of teasing in her words.

"Sigh, Naifeh, please stop joking. The title of Grand Ranger... I'm far from capable enough. I absolutely can't bear it." Upon hearing this title, Tinari's ears drooped and he sighed deeply. "I was planning to talk to the other rangers later and ask them not to call me that. It puts a lot of pressure on me."

Although he explained it this way, there was another reason that Tinari did not say. It was that his good friend, the Grand Wind Disciplinary Officer, Senor, once told him a cold joke about the Grand Wind Disciplinary Officer and the Grand Wind Agency. The feeling was simply too terrible, and it was a memory he did not want to recall at all.

"As you said in your letter, I brought a set of literacy teaching materials, which are the Chi Nian dictionary and preschool education books from the desert. Because the Void Terminal is currently popular in the Ministry of Education, our desert side is more mature in basic education." After Amber finished speaking, she took the package from Aji and handed it to Tinari. Tinari felt the weight and there were probably more than a dozen books in it.

"Thank you for your trouble." Tinari smiled and thanked Amber on behalf of Cole. "Cole should be in the room. Do you want me to take you to see him?"

"Okay, anyway, I plan to leave Xumi for a month this time. My residence in the city is being renovated, so it's nice to stay here for a few days." Amber stretched her body. "Plus, I'm quite interested in this little apprentice you accepted."

"How many days will you be staying? That's a good idea. I'd like you to come with us to inspect the cleanup of the Dead Zone and see if there are any shortcomings in our response procedures." Tinari rubbed his chin. "Afterwards, I'll have someone arrange rooms for you two."

"Hey, hey, senior, it's too rude of you to order me around. I just got here." Amber complained in a joking manner. Upon hearing this, Tinari said that he would prepare a special meal for Amber later. Aji was looking forward to it very much - as expected, among the things Amber and Tinari talked about, Aji was more concerned about food.

Several people walked out of the temporary clinic together and came to Collet's room next to Tinari's room. Tinari knocked on the door, and a moment later a green-haired girl in black clothes opened the door.

"Master! Eh... who are the remaining two...?" Collet's tone was still a little high when he saw Tinari, but it weakened when he saw Kohaku and Aji, and he seemed a little shy.
