At midnight, a crescent moon hung in the dark night sky, and the stars twinkled like lights decorating the boundless sky.
Yide stood on the roof of the West Factory office building, looking at the brightly lit city not far away.
The moist sea breeze blew gently, bringing a rare coolness.
This time he returned to Port Fudé, not only to properly hand over the affairs here to Lyney and Lynette, but also for an important matter, which was to complete the Three Realms Gateway Offering in Enkanomiya and gain trial points.
At present, his total trial points have accumulated to a point, which is just enough for him to light up the fifth constellation—the damage and range of the elemental burst are increased tenfold.
However, Yide was not in a hurry to light up this constellation.
The reason is simple, he can't control such a terrifying elemental burst at all now.
Only when the sixth constellation is lit up and the demon god form is unlocked can he truly control this powerful force and let the elemental burst exert its unparalleled power under his control.
Unlocking the sixth constellation requires trial points. To get such a huge amount of trial points, I am afraid that I have to save a god.
But to truly save her and prevent her consciousness from completely dissipating, one must find a way to eliminate the forbidden knowledge.
Regarding forbidden knowledge, Yide's knowledge is actually not much.
According to the game plot he knows, the forbidden knowledge seems to originate from the depths of the abyss. That power is more evil and crazier than the abyss power controlled by the Abyss Order.
Even powerful gods like the SCallast King and the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata could hardly bear its strong erosion, and could only end the spread of forbidden knowledge by self-destruction.
So, how to eliminate this forbidden knowledge?
Just as he was lost in thought, a huge gust of wind suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
He looked up and saw Dvalin flapping its huge wings and slowly descending from the sky.
"Cough… cough…" Dvalin cleared his throat twice, and then said, "Boss, the night is long, do you want to go out for a walk and relax?"
Yide thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so he decided to go for a walk and clear his mind.
He jumped lightly onto Dvalin's back and sat down safely.
However, Dvalin did not take off immediately, but said with difficulty, "Boss, it's so late, how do you calculate my overtime pay?"
Yide smiled angrily and said, "I'll count it as five days' salary for you, okay!"
When Dvalin heard this, he was overjoyed and smiled so much that his mouth could not close, "Okay, okay! Boss is generous!"
Then, it spread its wings and carried Yide soaring in the boundless sky.
Yide blew the wind, his mind was completely relaxed, and he felt the comfort and freedom of the vast sky and the wide land.
At the same time, for the question of how to eliminate forbidden knowledge, some new ideas gradually emerged in his mind.
…
On a summer morning, Aether and Paimon set foot on the land of Yashiori Island, welcoming the slightly scorching morning light.
As soon as they set foot on this land, they were attracted by the sight before them.
Completely different from the scene on Narukami Island, there were neat wheat fields, clean cement roads, and beautiful and generous houses. Everything seemed so orderly.
Paimon couldn't help but exclaim, "It's obviously not far away, but it's much better here than Narukami Island."
As soon as her voice fell, a voice sounded behind them: "This is natural, Yashiori Island is a concession of Fontaine!"
Paimon and Aether turned around and saw a young Inazuman man in Fontaine clothes standing in front of them.
He put his hand on his heart, lowered his head slightly, and said in the tone of a Fontaine gentleman, "Hello, I am Imai Jiro, you can also call me by my Fontaine name—Durex."
"Hello, Durex." Aether's face was full of confusion, "What do you mean by the concession you just mentioned?"
Imai Jiro was very pleased that Aether called him by his Fontaine name. He smiled and explained, "Fontaine and Inazuma have reached a lease agreement. Fontaine has leased Yashiori Island for a hundred years at a price of one hundred million Mora per year. Later, after the changes in Inazuma, Prime Minister Kamisato Ayato took the initiative to sign a new agreement, stipulating that after the one-hundred-year lease period expires, Fontaine can Rerirw the lease indefinitely."
After hearing this, Aether's confusion deepened, "But, for such a large island, the annual rent is only one hundred million Mora, which is too cheap."
Hearing this, Imai Jiro snorted coldly with dissatisfaction, "In my opinion, one hundred million Mora a year is expensive. Before the West Factory came, Yashiori Island was like a hell on earth."
Then, he began to talk endlessly about how the old shogunate and the Watatsumi Island resistance army were not human.
Then, Imai Jiro's topic turned to the changes after the arrival of the West Factory, and his words were full of praise and flattery for the West Factory.
As a special guard of the West Factory, Aether couldn't help but feel a sense of pride when he heard these words.
"By the way, Traveler, are you going to Port Fudé?" Imai Jiro suddenly asked.
Aether nodded, "Yes, we are going to Port Fudé to visit a friend."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Imai Jiro's face, "That's great, I'm also going to Port Fudé, we can go together."
"Okay!" Aether immediately agreed. He asked curiously, "Durex, are you going to Port Fudé for something?"
Hearing this question, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Imai Jiro's face. He pushed and said, "I am an engineer. This time I am going to Port Fudé to guide the local engineering construction."
Paimon did not doubt his words, but praised, "You are really amazing. I heard that the engineers in Port Fudé are all graduates of the Fontaine Research Institute. Have you also studied in Fontaine?"
Imai Jiro was stunned, his expression became more unnatural, but he still said with a stiff upper lip, "Of course I have been there. The great Lady Furina personally attended my graduation ceremony."
"Is that so?" Aether keenly noticed Imai Jiro's abnormality and reminded, "If it involves rumors about Furina, you will be invited to have tea by the West Factory."
As soon as the words fell, Imai Jiro's expression instantly froze.
