Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety-Four: Odinis

Elder Li looked at Feng Yuan helplessly and said,

"What exactly have you done? Gitalien was in such a state yesterday, and now Anernia is like this. Aren’t you afraid they’ll get angry?"

"Bah, Gitalien had it coming for himself. As for Anernia, what do you do when a child doesn’t listen? A spanking will do the trick."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji, perched atop Feng Yuan’s head, let out an indignant chirp, but upon seeing Anernia’s pitiful state, it panicked and turned to a more ingratiating manner of calling. Elder Li glanced at Feng Yuan and chose not to say anything more, knowing that when it came to issues with the Divine Beasts, he might not be as knowledgeable as Feng Yuan. At that moment, the scribe next to them asked,

"Should I record these words?"

Elder Li said with a dark expression,

"No need!"

"Regarding the other one creating Nightmares, do you have any good solutions?"

"That... unless it runs into me, I don’t really have a good way to solve it. Unless we dismantle the Dream Domain. In a way, the other party is unbeatable otherwise."

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Anernia, cowering in a crevice of the table, let out a sob. Feng Yuan, speechless, glanced at the trembling tail, and Elder Li once again asked Feng Yuan some questions. After confirming that Feng Yuan indeed could not resolve the Nightmare incident, he sighed and said,

"Although based on the merit you’ve gained this time, the punishment previously imposed on you can already be waived, it still has to be reported and left for the higher-ups to make the final decision. So, you’re likely to have to wait for the notice to come after your school’s vacation."

Seeing that Feng Yuan didn’t exhibit an excited expression, Elder Li asked out of curiosity,

"How so? You don’t seem very happy?"

"Ah, I’m so happy~ I finally don’t have to come to work anymore~"

"No sincerity at all. Tell me what you’re really thinking."

"If possible, I hope I can still come here to help out when I’m free."

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Elder Li looked calmly at Feng Yuan and asked,

"Reason?"

"On weekends, sometimes I don’t know what I want to do. It’s quite interesting to go out with them, and..."

Feng Yuan murmured,

"They can be considered friends, I guess..."

Although Elder Li heard Feng Yuan whisper this, he didn’t say anything and pretended to think for a while before responding,

"That can be arranged. We can enter you into the special duty team roster as an external member. As for the salary, I’ll have to inquire how exactly we should calculate that, considering you certainly won’t be attending every weekend, right?"

"Right! That’s one of the bottom lines!"

"One of them?"

"Also, you can’t assign me tasks by force! I’ll stick with the current squad, and don’t transfer me elsewhere. Let me think..."

"That’s all, just these points. If that’s not okay, forget it."

Elder Li stared at Feng Yuan for a long while and asked,

"Why don’t you ask to withdraw at will?"

"No need. If I really wanted to withdraw, you couldn’t stop me, remember Agunas? It’s just a trivial matter."

Understanding Feng Yuan’s point, Elder Li glanced at Agunas and said helplessly,

"You’re the one warning others not to alter history, yet you’re thinking about changing the past yourself. Isn’t that ironic?"

"No, it’s not. The reason I tell you not to change history is that you can’t afford the consequences."

Glancing at Elder Li, Feng Yuan said calmly,

"If you don’t believe me, you can ask those who are on good terms with the Divine Beasts. I’m sure by your position, you must be aware of these hidden rules."

"If there weren’t a method to turn back time, I might suspect you were actually some old fellow."

With a smile, Feng Yuan responded,

"Didn’t expect I still look so young in your eyes."

Elder Li squinted at Feng Yuan and asked,

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing much~"

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way; if I stay here any longer, Anernia might just get scared off."

Watching the black tail slowly retract behind the table, Feng Yuan said with a smile, while Elder Li stared at Feng Yuan for a moment and then said,

"Alright, go ahead with your duties. For now, with Anernia here, we don’t need Agunas’s help temporarily. However, if we figure out a way to catch the perpetrator and need Agunas’s assistance, please don’t interfere."

"Don’t worry, I won’t interfere in such matters. Agunas is free to do whatever it chooses."

"The opponent has already disrupted the stability of the Divine Land Region. I have an obligation to intervene, not to mention..."

After glancing at the clerk next to him, Agunas did not finish his sentence, but Elder Li understood what Agunas had left unsaid and, staring at Agunas for a moment, asked,

"Can you be certain?"

"Indeed."

"What are their plans?"

"To watch and wait, with some speculations."

The clerk, observing Elder Li and Agunas communicating in cryptic codes, couldn’t help but cast a glance at Feng Yuan, only to find that Feng Yuan seemed utterly disinterested, displaying an air of detachment. Just then, Elder Li noticed the clerk and cleared his throat before saying,

"Some things are better left unquestioned; you may leave now. Have the records organized into a report for me by this afternoon."

Departing with a load of curiosity, the dissatisfied clerk left, and Elder Li, staring at Agunas, said,

"Could this be related to the current war?"

"It should be unrelated, considering that Odinis has long been destroyed, but the mastermind behind this is connected to Odinis."

"Odinis? That sounds familiar..."

"The continent destroyed by Delong Tower, Odinis."

Reminded by Feng Yuan, Elder Li narrowed his eyes and said,

"Are you certain?"

"You can choose not to believe it; after all, there is nothing you can do about it. Besides, it’s not something you can solve."

"Ha ha, that reminds me of when I first joined the military, when everyone used to say that too."

As Elder Li spoke, his eyes grew moist. Agunas, puzzled by Elder Li’s current demeanor, asked,

"Why this reaction?"

"Perhaps it’s nostalgia. The ones standing at the forefront aren’t necessarily the strongest, but they are indeed great, for any reason whatsoever."

Agunas, still not understanding, saw Feng Yuan laugh and say,

"You’ve always been at the forefront; it’s natural you don’t understand his feelings."

After probing Feng Yuan for more information, Elder Li signaled that Feng Yuan could leave. Left alone in his office, Elder Li was silent for a long while before he took out a communicator.

"So, have your rewards been confirmed?"

Upon returning to his office, Liao Yu tried curiously to loop an arm around Feng Yuan’s neck and asked, but Feng Yuan deftly dodged the attempt. Huo Feng, who was cleaning his weapon, glanced at Feng Yuan and then remarked,

"Although it’s not confirmed yet, Elder Li said it probably won’t be approved before the holiday. After all, my punishment was directly handed down from above."

"That’s it? Isn’t your holiday coming up soon? It’s already January, and if I remember correctly, your vacation starts in late January, right?"

"Hey, since that’s the case, let’s hurry up and leave."

"Why?"

"Before you take off, I need to learn all your skills! That way, even if you’re gone, I can still hold my own."

Observing Liao Yu’s smug expression, Ye Hanlei didn’t say anything and merely organized her papers before saying,

"Let’s go. This week we’ve been busy with the Nightmare case, and it has caused quite a backlog of cases in our office."

"Does that mean the other guy hasn’t been caught yet?"

After a morning of busyness, Ye Hanlei invited everyone to a small restaurant for lunch. Halfway through, Liao Yu asked Feng Yuan for updates with curiosity, and with a nod, Feng Yuan said in a low voice,

"Correct, and that guy is the real trouble. Anernia is just a bit mischievous, while it’s unclear if that guy is a friend or a foe."

"Sigh, what’s been happening lately? It feels like the troubles never stop, not just here; Omeilia is in turmoil now too."

"What’s happening over there?"

Feng Yuan was puzzled. No matter the mayhem in Ernis, it was unlikely to incite such fury. Otherwise, Lorraine Tower would indeed issue Divine Beast warrants. It didn’t matter if Anernia was causing commotion in the Divine Land Region; if a Divine Beast warrant was issued from Lorraine Tower, all hidden Divine Beasts would rush into the Dream Domain to drag it out for a severe punishment.
