The small business of "Liyulongshuo" has become popular, though it's hard to say how much they'll earn because Li Xin and the others don't know. Lately, the Dragon Mother's mood has improved, and she occasionally uses "mister," which makes those around her feel anxious, always suspecting she might want to raise the rent.
Li Xin moved to a superior room, which was clean, tidy, and had a good view, bringing him peace of mind. The seductive music truly disturbed his path to enlightenment.
Ever since becoming a cook, the meals have improved. He and Ma Liu often have extra dishes and sip a little wine, still missing Aunt Fei and little Xueyin. After arriving at Hedan and settling at Lirong Inn, Li Xin sent a Hex Telegram to Qi Badao and left an address. Sending a telegram costs 120 Lira, a price that makes Li Xin want to hit someone. Of course, thinking from another perspective, if it were too cheap, he might be tempted to contact frequently, risking attention from the Church Court's Red-robed Archbishop or other secret departments, adding unnecessary variables.
...
In the Royal City, the Grand Scholars of the Celestial Principle School, led by Grandmaster Vladimir, were excitedly waiting. Since the stability of royal power, such situations have become rare.
Queen Kerry watched everyone with a smile. Grandmaster Vladimir is a pillar of the kingdom, the leader of the Celestial Principle School, someone the royal family must respect. So much time has passed, the King and Queen thought the matter would gradually fade away. Many things start with enthusiasm but may become dull after a few days. However, they underestimated the scholars' persistence, who kept asking every few days, even delaying state affairs. They let them come, hoping it would make them give up.
"Sir, there's no need to worry. Estella will be here soon, but this really is the last time. You know Estella's situation," said Queen Kerry. She showed great respect to Vladimir; without him, the kingdom's current situation wouldn't exist.
Vladimir and the others certainly knew that the Princess is a rare Divine Favored by the Earth Mother Goddess. The opportunities possessed by the Divine Favored are unmatched by ordinary people. If she were introduced to the Celestial Principle Sect, the royal family would never allow it, nor would the Earth Mother Goddess Court. Vladimir and the others dared not take the risk either, as no one could predict the consequences of such a change.
"Your Highness, we are immensely grateful. After this, we will no longer disturb the princess's meditation," Vladimir said sincerely.
Queen Kerry smiled slightly, "It's not that serious. I hope she can help you all."
With footsteps approaching, Estella arrived, led by a maid. The Princess appeared vibrant, and it was clear her spirits had been high lately.
All the scholars bowed in greeting, and Estella returned the gesture. Grandmaster James, who was rather impatient, couldn't wait any longer, "Princess, did you find out what productivity is?"
For a moment, the great hall fell silent, with all eyes on the princess. Estella thought for a moment, "I don't remember fully, but roughly, productivity refers to people's ability to use their capabilities and skills, as well as production materials, to create goods and services. There are three elements of productivity, which are the basic components: laborers, means of labor, and objects of labor."
In the hall, a pin drop could be heard, as everyone frowned, pondering and comprehending. Estella also felt it was impressive; only Mr. Gemini could make these haughty and argumentative scholars fall silent right away.
Judging by everyone's expressions, their feelings were different—some were conflicted, some confused, some thoughtful, and some contemplative.
Vladimir's expression was the first to relax, then turned joyful and finally became enraptured. He closed his eyes, nodding frequently, while the other scholars were still wrestling with the concepts. Although similar in some ways to their own summaries, the differences in perspective and expression were significant. Their minds were engaged in intense battles. To scholars, they only follow the truth, and only truth can command their submission.
"I vaguely remember a saying: 'Look at problems with a development perspective,'" Estella suddenly said. Although unrelated to productivity, she felt this sentence was very sensible.
Vladimir, who had been digesting everything, suddenly opened his eyes, which then emitted a strong light. The light continued, enveloping his entire body, as a terrifying, vast spiritual power swirled within him, as if the Pope had descended.
A thunderous roar broke the clear sky, as a divine presence swirled above the Royal Palace, and an indescribable power emanated from Vladimir as well.
This majestic aura was fleeting, quickly returning to tranquility. Vladimir remained motionless.
Queen Kerry's eyes revealed shock, and amidst her astonishment, she hurriedly signaled the maid to inform the King.
A demigod has been born, a great joy for the nation!
The surrounding scholars respectfully bowed their heads, with solemnity filled with excitement and joy. Their leader of the Celestial Principle School was finally about to step into the realm of a demigod. The school had been in Moncalleta for hundreds of years, but it was always a niche school. It only grew after absorbing Luthor's Hex-Tech and new philosophy, until it gained recognition and favor from the contemporary king, allowing it to prosper in Moncalleta.
Yet in the world of supreme hidden powers, it still couldn't stand on its own stage.
The birth of a demigod signifies the correctness of the path, a recognition by the supreme will.
Estella was at a loss for words with amazement, a demigod is an existence close to the divine, just because of a few words from Mr. Gemini?
"Congratulations, Dean, on advancing to demigod and starting the path to deity. This is proof of the truth of our Celestial Principle School, recognized by the supreme will. We have pioneered a new way!" Grandmaster James and other four-star scholars said with excitement.
Since the inception of the Celestial Principle School, although it had a considerable following in Moncalleta, it had never had a demigod born. Compared to the Earth Mother Goddess and other sects, they were always a level lower because of this. Of course, the Celestial Principle School and the Church had different paths, and the competition between churches was very different.
At this moment, Vladimir no longer had that overwhelming aura and returned to a normal person's state, gently shaking his head, "Not yet, but indeed there was a major breakthrough," saying this, he looked at Estella. Vladimir folded his hands over his chest and bowed deeply, and Estella quickly dodged to the side.
"Your Highness the Princess, please thank that sage on my behalf, Vladimir owes him a favor." Vladimir said to Estella, his gaze filled with gratitude and a kind of relief. Years of dreams were finally coming true, and perhaps more than gaining power, it was the comfort of paving his own path and the joy of being closer to the supreme will.
In the moment of enlightenment, Vladimir already knew certain things, things Estella certainly couldn't comprehend. There was indeed a mysterious great power, and this was both a favor and a karma.
Estella couldn't help but feel very excited, Mr. Gemini was her friend, and she was very happy.
Of course, these were not things she could respond to lightly, so Estella looked at Queen Kerry. The Queen stood up, "Sir, you are too kind. This is what Estella should do, it's all a divine blessing, and it is the glory of our kingdom."
Vladimir smiled slightly, did not argue, and looked at Estella, "Your Highness, the divine favor is deep, destiny cannot be defied, but destiny is not immutable."
Evidently, Vladimir did not believe that the Earth Mother Goddess could bestow this. At his level, he could say such things, but the Queen could not respond.
Estella looked at Vladimir, who was utterly different now from before. Although she knew Vladimir, as the only five-star grand scholar, possessed formidable ability, Estella had also seen the Pope and powerful Templar Knights, and now this feeling was very close to the Pope's.
Estella saluted Vladimir, "Please guide me, teacher."
Vladimir smiled, shaking his head, "Remember my words." Then he looked at Queen Kerry, "Your Highness, I need a period of seclusion. Please inform His Majesty on my behalf."
Queen Kerry naturally agreed. The Celestial Principle School was crucial to her husband. If Vladimir could successfully advance to demigod, it would greatly assist the kingdom and further secure the throne.
After speaking, Vladimir left with the scholars. The news that a demigod was about to be born in Moncalleta quickly spread throughout the royal city. Divine blessing to Moncalleta, Prosperous Dynasty, the chosen one's only path!
After being questioned by her father for half a day, Estella finally returned to her palace, exhilarated. She felt she had half the credit. The fact Vladimir directly became a god was amazing. Is this really Mr. Gemini?
So magical, so powerful!
Thinking about it now, Mr. Vladimir should have already realized there was another high presence behind it. Yes, that sentence should mean just this.
"Keli, incredible, too incredible!" Estella petted the cat, which squinted its eyes. Incredible, what's so incredible? It was great at eating fish, unlike that little bird that was so picky; it ate all kinds of fish, red or white, it didn't matter.
Father said she had made an achievement, but it was actually the credit of Mr. Gemini. She wondered if Mr. Gemini was busy. She really wanted to share with him immediately.
First, take a bath to calm down, her emotions were a bit too high right now. If she still felt this way after calming down, then... take action.
The maids started preparing the shower. Arthur was the chief maid, in charge of the Princess's daily life. She understood the Princess very well; the shower should be quick, as the Princess would surely have something else to do later. A bathtub would take much longer, one must anticipate the rhythm to be a qualified maid.
Water dripped onto Estella's fair and smooth skin, sliding down. It was hard to tell if her skin made the droplets more lustrous or if the droplets made her skin more radiant. It was a perfect curve, a touch more plentiful, a touch less delicate. The sweet breath of the young girl filled the air with fragrance. Estella didn't even notice the sound of water, her mind still occupied by today's shock. Two sentences leading to the achievement of a demigod, if not personally involved, it would truly be hard to believe.
