The Elysian Realm, a large memory storage and simulation device left behind by the Previous Era, is also the most important secret location of World Serpent, serving as a trial ground for World Serpent cadres.
This place stores the traces of the existence of the thirteen Flame-Chasers from the past, and also the story they left behind for future generations.
On ordinary days, the Realm is rarely open to outsiders.
But today, World Serpent cadre 【Jackal】 has once again entered this secret location of World Serpent.
Unlike Raven and other cadres, perhaps due to personality and behavioral style, there aren’t many Flame-Chasers willing to accept Jackal.
Of course, she doesn’t care about these things either.
As a researcher, Jackal doesn’t expect any so-called signet, she simply worships a certain great existence engraved in this ephemeral illusion.
The serpent of 【Infinity】 — Mobius, who is also the founder of World Serpent.
Strictly speaking, Mobius is the highest leader of this organization.
Of course, she doesn’t care about these things.
Therefore, World Serpent also respects the one who is active outside.
“Hehe, daring to disturb my experiments, your courage has grown quite a bit, Jackal~”
“I wouldn’t dare, my lord.”
“Forget it. Speak up, what’s the matter.”
Although the Flame-Chaser memory constructs in the Elysian Realm are isolated from the world, as the founder of World Serpent, Mobius would occasionally provide certain advice and help to World Serpent.
However, just like this, this mischievous snake doctor really likes to frighten others.
“It’s like this, not long ago, a powerful Herrscher fluctuation erupted in Nagazora City in the outside world, and its fluctuation frequency is extremely consistent with the data of the 13th Herrscher in the database…”
Jackal, who was about to continue speaking, suddenly sensed something and instinctively looked to the side. A pink girl as beautiful as a flower was standing there with a smile, seemingly staring intently at herself.
For Jackal, of course she had never seen the person before her.
But since she could appear in this Elysian Realm, it meant the other party must be one of the thirteen Flame-Chasers.
Faced with Jackal’s frozen state, the girl looked at her with a smile: “Mm-hmm~ Don’t mind me, you can continue speaking. Dr. Mobius doesn’t mind either, right?”
“Hmph, even if I chase you away, you wouldn’t leave anyway, would you, Elysia?”
Elysia didn’t mind at all, still maintaining that smiling appearance:
“How could that be? But such a beautiful girl like me, Dr. Mobius surely wouldn’t have the heart to chase me away, right?”
“Elysia…”
Hearing this name, Jackal was somewhat shocked. For the vast majority of World Serpent cadres, no… probably up until now, not a single World Serpent cadre has truly seen this most mysterious Flame-Chaser.
So this name, for World Serpent, is an existence that only exists in records.
And today, he actually appeared suddenly.
“Although not my preferred type, he is indeed a very beautiful girl~”
The smiling pink girl approached Jackal, gently reaching out to touch the latter, with words full of praise.
“Ignore her, you continue speaking.”
Mobius was somewhat annoyed, but she had no intention of driving Elysia away at all. However, what could be seen was that this doctor, who never stopped her work for external matters, had now extraordinarily stopped her work and seemed to be planning to listen carefully for once.
“Speak quickly!”
As if finding it too slow, she even urged impatiently.
“Uh… alright. Besides being extremely consistent with the 13th Herrscher’s frequency, we also picked up this thing in Nagazora City. There’s no related data about this in the database, so we suspect it’s a trap maliciously set against World Serpent by someone with ulterior motives.”
Jackal, who displayed the projection of the personal communicator, swallowed after speaking. This was the first time she had seen Lord Mobius so impatient.
“This is…”
Someone like Jackal who only knows how to check databases naturally couldn’t recognize it, but as one of the founders of Fire Moth, even though her specialty didn’t match and she had no relationship with those people in the weapons development department, Mobius still recognized this thing’s true identity at a glance.
“Hmm? Isn’t this the Fire Moth early communication device that I eliminated? I can still see it now?”
A high-pitched, surprised voice rang out, and Mobius’s domain welcomed another “intruder.”
The Flame-Chaser of 【Helix】 — Vill-V!
Although her early history wasn’t very glorious, Vill-V, who later became the head of Fire Moth’s engineering department, was undoubtedly the leader and pillar of Fire Moth’s mechanical field.
The somewhat boisterous girl approached Jackal, but judging from her low tone, she should currently be in the engineer personality.
“For matters regarding mechanical instruments, shouldn’t you consult me instead?”
“Uh…”
Jackal felt somewhat awkward.
She also knew that for mechanical problems, consulting Vill-V would definitely be the most accurate, but the problem was that she didn’t have a good relationship with this Fire Moth engineering department head either.
It was just a nodding acquaintance, not even obtaining the Helix signet.
However, is the Realm so lively today?
Not only the mysterious Flame-Chaser Elysia who only lived in records, but even Vill-V actually appeared?
For a moment, Jackal couldn’t help but feel somewhat flattered and surprised.
Am I this popular?
I never noticed before.
Could it be that the Flame-Chasers have finally discovered my shining points?
Jackal, who was lost in wild thoughts, came back to her senses and asked quietly:
“Cough cough, so this is indeed Fire Moth equipment?”
“Of course, when I first joined Fire Moth, the first batch of equipment I disposed of was the same batch as this thing. I was the one who approved the disposal documents for this thing.”
“This thing was really too garbage, with little room for adjustment. It didn’t even qualify to be put in the database and was just cleared as trash.”
Vill-V casually criticized this projection.
The leaps in Fire Moth’s engineering and mechanical science came from the genius that was her.
During that period, it was almost like a major change every month.
“Alright, don’t you have any other questions besides this?”
“Uh… yes, that’s right.”
Jackal, who was inexplicably cared for, quickly agreed, but unexpectedly, Mobius on the side directly curled her lips:
“Tch.”
It seems like the Lord is very displeased.
Seeing the most closely related Lord Mobius suddenly react this way, Jackal couldn’t help but feel somewhat panicked.
“Alright, Mobius, don’t mind it~”
Elysia proactively comforted Mobius, then looked at Jackal with a smile, showing a very natural smile:
“— So, Jackal, right?”
“I’d like to find a place to have a good chat with you, okay?”
