Chapter 1881: Chapter 1876: Artifact Seedbed (31)
Kaldora...
No wonder at first glance, there was a special sense of affinity. It turns out we had met before.
This name isn’t particularly rare, but considering the Fourth Phase peak and even the hint of divinity in her ranking, the probability of coincidence is not high.
"Professor?"
One could even verify it once more.
Looking at the young face with interest, Fu Qian casually added a title.
"Hmm?"
Kaldora seemed surprised, partly because she didn’t expect her own fame, partly because she was clearly more cautious.
Compared to other knights, one must admit she is indeed rather unique.
As the fourth and final person to appear, her strength is arguably the weakest to the naked eye, yet her mental state appeared most lucid.
"Heaven’s Commencement Institute?"
Luckily, as a professional with a natural aura of ridicule, dispelling doubt was something Fu Qian was quite seasoned at.
The next moment, without waiting for Karadola to respond, he pressed on with another question, demonstrating his mastery of information.
Not stopping there, Fu Qian wiped his face, revealing his true features.
Of course, it was only face and facial features, not bothering to regrow hair, still topping a bald head like an egg.
Fu Qian was without psychological burden in presenting himself this way, even appreciating his rare look in reflections around him.
"Precise control over flesh and blood, enviable indeed."
Sure enough, after two consecutive actions, Kaldora was finally moved by the sincerity, scanning Fu Qian’s new face and offering her admiration.
Although from Fu Qian’s perspective, her words seemed a bit strange.
"But you shouldn’t call me professor, I haven’t obtained that title yet."
The next moment, Kaldora even denied the previous title.
...
It turned out to be true... This gave strong evidence to the previous speculation.
As a respected scholar of the Academy, the young Kaldora before his eyes had long become a mass of flesh in that metal container, as was clarified earlier.
So the knights indeed come from history? Are they individuals who once existed but whose fates may have already ended?
Very likely, and it aligns with the previous observations of the Wanderer.
This pursuit of knowledge as an adventure had indeed yielded a return.
Encountering this legendary figure whom he had long admired was truly an unexpected joy.
However, solving one puzzle only gave rise to another — why is Kaldora here?
Judging by the knights’ ranking, it was easy to conclude that the Holy Baby selects the best.
No matter how it was done, it essentially pulled skilled individuals from history to bolster its rebirth with their power.
Logical, but as previously mentioned, as the final act, Professor Kaldora seems somewhat lacking.
A uniquely special elder who was met by chance... and a material.
Fu Qian valued Kaldora even more than the previous three.
In a brief exchange, he carefully assessed and concluded she wasn’t a match for any of the others before.
Cass certainly hadn’t exaggerated about his colleague, though not a demigod, she left a strong impression.
Even in such a strange place, and with her own state possibly incomplete, she nonetheless exuded an aura of clarity and transparency.
This transparency fundamentally differed from the surrounding crystals, closer to the soul level.
To put it another way, in the Supernatural World where spirit and flesh mix, she was one among the less amalgamated.
"I see."
With this inward evaluation, Fu Qian nodded slightly, praising her honesty.
"Then you can call me Professor Fu, as I have obtained that title."
He continued, introducing himself.
...
As fellow scholars within the same system, it’s normal to exchange titles upon meeting, right?
The honorable Kaldora of Caring Valley surely wouldn’t harbor negative feelings, only appreciation.
"Professor Fu... Heaven’s Commencement Institute?"
Indeed, at the next moment, the astonished Karadola looked over and only concerned herself with Fu Qian’s department.
"Yes, the Heaven’s Commencement Institute, personally appointed by President Cass."
Fu Qian disclosed without concealment, answering candidly.
Though under the current circumstances, such an answer could arouse suspicion.
But as noted earlier in dealings with the Wanderer, the principles of communication vary with people.
Perhaps not as obstinate as the Wanderer, but based on observations and Cass’s introduction, Kaldora was undeniably cautious and determined.
For such a character, providing an unreasonable answer to dissolve suspicion is more efficient than fabricating something to mutually probe.
Remember, the next game of death roulette could occur any time.
Not to mention, if her mental state was incomplete, specific key information could even help her make connections — like now.
"Cass? President?"
Incredulously repeating the names, Kaldora’s eyes brimmed with confusion and vigilance, yet she didn’t rush to refute.
"Don’t be agitated, just the president of Heaven’s Commencement, the Academy’s position has been vacant for many years."
With a composed heart, Fu Qian mildly supplemented, continuing to walk step by step.
...
"Am I currently in an abnormal state?"
Not disappointing, vigilant but unobstructive, when Fu Qian came down the stairs, Kaldora directly asked a somewhat jarring question.
"Dream, hallucination, mental projection?"
Even listing out possible answers.
"It might be a projection of you from a certain point in time."
As Cass highly praised a genius, dealing with smart people was indeed simple.
"Under the influence of some Ancient Supreme’s power, the projections of more than one Transcendent, including yourself, were drawn over to assist its awakening."
Seeing Kaldora swiftly enter a self-questioning stage, Fu Qian no longer concealed, swiftly introducing his test findings.
"...and then you’re stopping all this from happening?"
Listening intently, though hard to claim belief, Kaldora followed Fu Qian’s provided thinking path.
"Trying to stop it."
More accurately describing it, Fu Qian pointed forward, motioning to walk while talking.
Not even waiting for her response, the next moment he walked on, continuing down the path of disaster exploration.
