The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S3) Chapter 142 [Projects Declan ]
It's been 1 hour since Ruby met Raven. Elvira and Elvina only stopped after Aqua forced them. Although reluctant, because they realize Ruby is also at her limit, they let go.
Ruby's expression looked tired. There's been a lot going on today.
"I'll take you to your room. After you get changed, we'll have dinner. Only then will I introduce them to you," Aqua bargained.
Ruby nodded, quickly the girl moved behind Aqua as if avoiding this twin woman. Disappointed faces could be seen from them.
"What can I do. Today is a long day for you. We'll have some fun next time," Elvina's smile gives Ruby goosebumps.
"Sister Vina, please don't tease her. Previously you guys were also like this with Yue and Pietro," Aqua reminded.
"Yeah? Pietro?"
Ruby is no stranger to that name. It didn't take long for a memory to come through.
"Pieters... Pietro Chalcedony!!? Legendary Dwarves who could create Mythic level weapons and items!!?" his inner.
"How else, we're weak against cute kids!!!" elak Elvina jokingly followed a nod agreeing Elvira and Eli.
Aqua was speechless. He remembered his older brother from his previous life also liked children.
"Are all women like this?"
"Well, I'll take Ruby first. The others get ready. We meet again in the dining room."
A moment after Aqua turned her body towards the door, a hand restrained the young man.
"?"
"Let me just. Neither a man nor a woman were left alone" Eli's smile scoffed.
"💢"
Aqua brushed Eli off.
"You don't deserve to say that, genderless."
"💢"
Despite smiling, annoyed veins filled Eli's face.
"I Wa-ni-ta!!! From then until now!!!!"
An irritated Eli pulls Ruby's hand towards the exit, leaving Aqua and the others behind. Ruby seems to have trouble following the steps of girls (?) that's.
"Give him to me!! Just take care of your unfinished business!!!" enragedly.
"Tu-wait a minute..."
BRAAAKKKK
The door was closed by Eli. Now Ruby and her are nowhere to be seen. Aqua just kept quiet to see it.
"...... The kid started, he got pissed."
Elvina put her hand on Aqua's shoulder.
"The woman's mood is fickle."
"Is she a girl?"
"As long as he thinks of himself as such."
"Ha~aahh.. whatever," Aqua smiled.
As soon as Ruby was taken away by Eli, the atmosphere in the room instantly changed. Elvira and Elvina's joking expressions began to change with other expressions. Lix was not too different, just smiling while Pietro became moody.
Aqua walked away from the door leading to a bookcase made of black wood with elegant sculptures typical of Elves. He turned his back on his friends so that the child's expression was not visible.
"I brought Ruby here. Is there a change?" aqua asked a little desperately.
Elvira hugged her left arm, she did not even dare to look at the child.
"......"
Hearing silence without an answer is another answer to his question.
"Oh, so there's no change."
"I'm sorry, Aqua. if I had given her a stronger medicine.." said Elvina.
"..... No. gabe. Drugs will not have too big an impact because the condition is already that severe."
Aqua's face was nowhere to be seen, yet Raven seemed to be able to see it. Right now the expression of the child must be very bitter.
Lix could not stand being trapped in this atmosphere.
"You guys..didn't we agree to avoid topics like this?"
"When you know the answer, why do you still ask?" satirize Lix while gently hitting Aqua's back.
"I'm sorry, it's just. I thought he'd get better with Ruby's arrival."
Lix was a bit uneasy, the young man in front of him was like not Aqua alone.
"He's not a deadly disease or anything like that! Control yourself!!"
Of course Aqua knows that best. But it is difficult to control yourself when the person he cares about is in such circumstances.
"You're right. I'll do everything I can later. For now, it's best to focus on something more urgent."
"Good!" lix Grin.
"What's more urgent?" pietro asked confusedly.
Elvira and Elvina are happy that Aqua has returned to her usual self. They feel the same way, but just regret and contemplation will not solve the problem, just wasting time. Time is precious to Raven.
Somehow, Elvira took out a rather thick document from her chest.
"I've completed your request."
The woman gave the document to the leader.
"Hurry up, thank you."
It didn't take long for Aqua to read it. During that time Pietro stared at the boy full of question marks. What are they really going to do?
"What is your wish? Just so you know, finding information about it is very difficult!!" elvina asked while eating cookies from a plate.
Aqua's usual grin returned, "It's perfect. As expected of the information guild."
"Oy oy oy!! Don't do anything secretly!!! Have you forgotten us!?" canda Lix's.
"No way, this is precisely your and Pietro's duty" Aqua replied.
"?"
Lix retrieved the document from Aqua's hands. He wondered what Aqua was really looking for.
"!"
Just reading the first page, he knew the whole thing.
"You kidding me?"
"Did I ever joke about Raven?"
Lix smiled wryly, she waved the document in front of her face.
"..... But this is a crazy plan. You think this can work like an information guild!?"
Aqua sat on the sofa then poured tea into her cup.
"certainly could. That's why we make the foundation among nobles, right?"
"Ha~ahhh. Pride and Lust became the guild leader of the most sought-after information.Of course the other members had to have connections and become another pillar, huh."
Aqua had not had time to drink her tea, Lix had already stolen the glass from her hands and drank it just like that.
"......."
Elvira and Elvina sit on the sofa in front of Aqua while eating a snack. Hell who was standing behind Aqua a moment ago was now beside them, pouring tea with his elegance for the master and his friend.
"It should be so! If each member becomes a pillar of the world, then Raven can take root. Just got us, any Kingdom and Empire can't touch, '" Elvina said.
"Ara~ I also agree. It's true that other members don't need to be as flashy. But at least Raven's foundation isn't just in the information guild," Elvira continued stirring her glass.
"So that's why this troublesome task was left to me?" lazy Lix.
"Just enjoy. You'll probably like it" Aqua smiled.
"Anu... What exactly is the task you're talking about?" ask Pietro can't take it anymore.
From earlier it seemed like only Pietro did not understand the direction of this conversation. Although he tried to absorb the information from the conversation, he still did not know what they were really talking about.
Without answering, Lix gave the documents to Pietro. Pietro turned to another Raven, as if asking for permission. And the others just smile while drinking tea and eating snacks. Pietro did not hesitate to read it. Just like Lix, who had just read the first page, she was already shocked.
"!?"
"D-Do I really have to make this!!?" shocked Pietro.
No one answered. The three Raven sitting on the sofa just smiled. Lix next to him also only shook his head tiredly with a mocking smile.
"We have no other choice. Chief I tell tyrant the order's man."
Aqua was not angry, she just let out a sadistic smile.
"Yes. Since I'm a commanding officer, you should do your best."
"I-this is impossible!!!!!!" pietro almost cried.
A glimpse of the contents of the document that Pietro threw while fleeing was seen.
⟨ Project Declan : Modern Communication and Trading Media ⟩
It starts with the creation of several magic items that are connected to each other. The center of the item was Raven and the item could not be faked. The linkage of all those items is which satellite.
This item will be in the form of a hologram and will be spread from among nobles and the rich until finally there is no one who does not have it. Functions will be limited as a medium of communication and commerce. Raven will also utilize this item to auction off other items at fantastic prices as everyone around the world can access it.
The research and creation of the item will be left to Pietro and Mika while the distribution will be handed over to Lix. The information needed regarding the creation, materials, target market, future plans, etc can be seen from page 2.
