Detective Old Chen’s Unexpected Discovery

“Ah?

A dwarven architect from Gaia Temple is coming to visit?

Sure, let him come.

The mentor has gone out for inspection; he might be back soon.”

Today’s Dust Beater left in charge of Crimson Castle quickly received a reminder from his senior Samoyed that a Silver Dwarf Priest had come to visit Old Chen, upon which the Dust Beater immediately began to tidy up the Stonemason Association’s office in the city.

The apprentice architects studying here were all mobilized to clean up the courtyard of the office before the “distinguished guest” arrived.

Although Old Chen was generally amiable, due to the propriety of an old-fashioned scholar, he still valued the etiquette of receiving and treating people.

If he were to lose face in front of a dwarven architect from another world, the Dust Beater would surely be severely penalized by the mentor in reality.

Originally, Professor Chen was “lured” into the game by the cunning Dust Beater using the unique architectural styles of dwarves and elves.

Now, with a bona fide dwarven architect visiting, Old Chen surely wouldn’t miss this chance for a “professional exchange.”

Although everyone openly claims how fun the game is, Old Chen is a genuine professor, a true intellectual.

It’s unrealistic to think that after spending so much time in the game, he doesn’t have his own thoughts on the matter.

It’s just that the old man is rather steady.

Whether it’s reading the younger generation’s banter in forums or conversing with his three students in reality, he never expresses any opinion on this topic.

However, the fact that Professor Chen hasn’t decisively gone AFK indicates that, thus far, the old man is quite satisfied with his “gaming career” in his later years.

As for Dust Beater himself.

He has slowly adjusted his mentality back from the previous collapse, and the Pallian Sisters, who had been at odds with him, seemed to have returned to the Brotherhood as if nothing had happened, continuing their studies on the side.

Old Chen personally teaches these two very “spiritual” local girls drawing and architectural theory.

They learn quickly and are good at winning the old man’s favor.

The elderly naturally have more patience with young boys and girls, hence Professor Chen is now taking the Pallian Sisters everywhere to gain experience.

This made the Dust Beater feel somewhat uneasy.

Driven by the strange intuition of a single dog, he sensed that the Pallian Sisters were playing some kind of “novel” game, and their “tactical target” was none other than him.

Although he wasn’t sure what they planned to do, Sir Dust Beater had already made up his mind.

He knew he couldn’t drag this out any longer.

He had to swiftly resolve the complex relationship between him and the Pallian Sisters, lest he really got bagged by Lady Pallian’s guards in a back alley of Crimson Castle someday and continue to be the butt of jokes among his peers in the forum for not cherishing what he had.

Alas, the word “emotion” is indeed hurtful.

Such helplessness.

While Dust Beater was preparing for reception, Old Chen, escorted by Little Wei Ming and Lumina, took his two local apprentices, the Pallian Sisters, deep into the city’s “Great Rift.”

This great rift running through Crimson Castle is the most evident “scar” left by the disaster in Cardman City, a remembrance of past hardships akin to the “Creation of the Star Realm” hanging in the Transylvanian sky.

Setting aside the Creation of the Star Realm in the sky, it is time to deal with the rift in the city.

In the city planning diagram designed by Old Chen and his two students for Crimson Castle, this great rift will be converted into a canal by redirecting water from the Kaderman River to separate different functional areas of the city.

This design not only adds to the city’s beauty and solves the residents’ daily water source issues but also introduces shipping needs into the city.

According to Professor Chen’s plan, the first phase of the project will bring water into the city while the second phase will continue to expand this “man-made river” to extend it to the docks near the Andma Hills.

In this way, the shipping business on the Kaderman River can logically be extended to Crimson Castle, not only shortening the transportation time of goods but also adding more job opportunities for city residents.

Governor Morphy and Governor Milian fully support this design, as they can see the benefits that the river will bring.

The only problem is that the Great Rift contains a thick aura of Star Realm contamination that has lingered for the past four months without dispersing until the first snowfall in Transylvania.

Perhaps due to the sudden change in climate, the Star Realm aura in the rift then began to dissipate.

Old Chen’s inspection today is to find out what exactly lies beneath the rift, which has been concealed for the past four months, in order to determine the subsequent construction plan.

He didn’t usually need guards; the four veteran Witch Hunters dedicated to his protection were enough to ensure safety, after all, this is inside Crimson Castle, not in the dangerous wilderness.

But Little Wei Ming and Lumina still came uninvited.

The main reason was the Pallian Sisters seemed to inherit their mother’s finesse in networking.

They also have a “liaison” role within the Silver Moon Pride Team, acting as NPC members of the team, and they get along quite well with the female players.

As the Shadow of the Marsh operation just ended, the girls had had enough of the swamp environment and had no intention of staying to take on the cleanup tasks there.

After the loot distribution was completed, they all rushed back to Crimson Castle.

As they were idle these past few days, when they heard that the Pallian Sisters were going on an adventure in the Great Rift, Little Wei Ming and Lumina immediately followed along.
