Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 135: A Perfect Match with Professor Muirner
"Because the starry sky is the only way out for civilization."

After Caesar finished speaking, he noticed that Muirner's pretty face froze, and the room fell silent for a moment.

Caesar suddenly felt a little embarrassed, realizing that what he had said was rather childish.

Moreover, in this era, such remarks would only be considered a joke.

"Sorry, uh, I, I was just saying, haha, Professor, you know, it's normal for a kid my age to have some unrealistic ideas." Caesar's face turned slightly red with embarrassment.

Muirner blinked, as if just coming to his senses, and immediately said, "No, no, no! I think what you said is absolutely right, Xiao Sa! It's exactly what I was thinking!"

"Hmm?" This surprised Caesar somewhat. Shouldn't someone with such thoughts be from the Academy of Sciences? Muirner's main research area is ecology, yet he also yearns for the starry sky.

Moreover, her ideas are so advanced; she even thought of the concept of a space station.

“I’ve always felt that the development of civilization is inseparable from the exploration of the universe. There must be things we’ve been pursuing in the sky,” Muirner said, then she sighed, “Unfortunately, when I talked to people at the Academy of Sciences about this, they all thought my ideas were too naive.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it,” Caesar said.

Although we now have a preliminary conceptual model of the universe, research on it is still based on people's desire to explore the unknown. The mainstream view in the scientific community is that the universe is a desert, completely unsuitable for human survival. We can only look at it and that's enough. No one really wants to live in an environment that is even more extreme than Elijah's most extreme environment.

Moreover, there is no complete and scientific theory to support human beings going to space; the Tsiolkovsky of this world has not yet been born.

"By the way, why do you have this idea, Xiao Sa?" Muirna asked curiously.

"Me?" Caesar paused for a few seconds, then smiled:
"It's just some kind of, well, self-righteous belief."

Muirner blinked. She suddenly realized that this young boy seemed to have a unique quality, a quality she had only seen in politicians dedicated to the future of the kingdom, but Caesar seemed different from them.

What an amazing boy.

It also successfully piqued her interest.

"And what about you, Professor? Why do you yearn for the starry sky so much?" Caesar asked.

“My words,” Muirner thought for a moment, then smiled helplessly, “are probably similar to what you said, some self-righteous beliefs and such.”

They looked at each other, seemingly understanding something from each other's eyes, and then they both laughed.

"We've only known each other for less than an hour and we're already having such a great chat. It seems we're very compatible," Muirna said with a smile.

“I think so too, Professor. It’s been a pleasure chatting with you,” Caesar said sincerely.

This was truly the first time he had experienced the meaning of "being able to chat" from another person.

"Oh right, I was so engrossed in talking to you that I forgot it was almost time."

Muirner slapped his forehead, then remembered something, and quickly got up and went to the humid heat shield.

At this moment, a layer of water droplets had condensed inside the glass dome, and a layer of white mist had filled the interior, making it almost impossible to see the snowflakes inside.

Instead of opening the lid directly, Muirna placed her palm on it. A moment later, a beam of emerald light burst forth from her palm and flowed into the glass dome.

"Nature magic?" Caesar sensed the source of this magic.

Nature magic is generally only known to elves; it stems from an extreme affinity and understanding of nature, and on a deeper level, it can even deconstruct and reconstruct life itself.
The highest level of nature magic is the divine authority over nature, wielded by the Elven Kings throughout history. With the death of the last Elven King, this power vanished. Yet, Muirna can still wield such pure and potent nature magic, undoubtedly due to the magical power accumulated over countless days and nights. Her age is likely older than Caesar suspected.

About ten seconds later, Muirner withdrew the spell, then placed his hand on the handle of the shield and gestured for Caesar to be quiet.

"Shh, keep your voice down, it's about to bloom."

She opened the cover, and when the thick white fog dissipated, Caesar saw that the "egg" of the snow lotus had several cracks, but he soon realized that they were not cracks, but petals growing from the snow lotus.

The pure white petals seemed to be dancing, trembling one by one, sometimes closing and sometimes opening, like a shy young girl unwilling to reveal her true face.

But soon, the petals bloomed, revealing their pure white beauty layer by layer. Each petal was tinged with pink, like the most delicate skin of a maiden, while a refreshing fragrance spread out.

The fragrance wasn't strong, but it was memorable enough. If I had to say, Caesar would think of Yumilia's body scent—warm, fresh, and comforting.

As the flower finally bloomed, a faint, shimmering figure emerged from its stamen.

Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a tiny, beautiful fairy, only the size of a thumb.

“This is…” Caesar’s eyes widened.

The flower fairy first approached Muirna, but Muirna pointed at Caesar:

"Over there."

The flower fairy seemed to understand these words and immediately flew towards Caesar. Before he could understand what was happening, the fairy leaned close to his cheek and gently kissed him on the face.

He could see that he was being kissed, but he felt almost nothing. After the kiss, the little flower fairy disappeared instantly.

Everything returned to normal, and before him, a magnificent, white-pink snowdrop bloomed in stunning beauty, filling the entire flowerpot. He could even say it was the most beautiful flower he had ever seen.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” Muirner said.

“It’s beautiful,” Caesar said from the bottom of his heart.

Then he looked at Muirner: "By the way, Professor, who was that just now?"

“Those are flower fairies nurtured within the flower cocoons, which is why flower cocoons are so rare. After they are born, they choose the person who nurtured them to receive their blessing,” Muirna explained.

"So, congratulations! You've been blessed by the Flower Fairy. Do you know what the effects will be?" Muirna asked with a smile.

Caesar shook his head. Although he knew that flower fairies existed, he didn't know much about them because they were so rare and unknown.

“You will become incredibly lucky!” Muirner said.

"That's all?" Caesar waited a moment, but found that she had nothing more to say.

"Just being lucky is enough for most people, but the Flower Fairy's blessing is very mysterious, and I'm still researching its specific effects."

Muirner thought for a moment, then said, "How about you come and help me with my research these next few days, Xiao Sa? That way, we can continue talking about the topics we like! I think you're a really great guy, and I'd love to be your friend. What do you think?"
