Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 195 Fantasy Customization
"That's all I wanted to say. Thank you all for listening, thank you very much."

After Yumilia finished speaking, she stepped down from the bench, stood by the platform, and bowed to the audience.

A round of enthusiastic applause followed, lasting even longer than the applause for Enride earlier.

Yumilia's face turned bright red as she ran off the stage. She was so excited that she almost tripped and fell while walking down the steps.

She quickly jogged back to her seats.

“Very good, Yumilia,”

As she walked over, Fiona clapped her hands and smiled at her as she spoke.

"Th-thank you. Hehe," Yumilia said shyly.

But when she turned her head to look at the seat next to her, she found it empty.

"Where is Caesar?" she asked, puzzled.

“Oh, Auntie, Caesar just said he had some things to take care of and left, saying he’d be back soon,” Tess explained to her.

"They left. When?" Yumilia asked.

"Around the halfway point of your speech?"

Yumilia looked frustrated and disappointed. She had mustered up the courage to tell Caesar what she had just said, but he hadn't heard so much of it, which saddened her greatly.

Perhaps noticing her mood, Tess quickly added:
"But don't worry, Auntie. I saw his face turn red just now because of what you said. You must have hit the nail on the head."

She blushed.

Yumilia blinked, then lowered her head, a happy smile playing on her lips.

Ita examined the injuries of her unconscious subordinate with a grave expression; she had never encountered such strange injuries before.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, she quickly looked up and saw Caesar rushing towards her.

"Caesar! The anomaly you mentioned has occurred!" she said anxiously.

Caesar nodded slightly and approached the fallen guard.

The other person is currently disoriented, with their eyes closed and lips pale.

A strange phenomenon appeared on his entire left arm and most of his abdomen.

If it were a sword wound or a laceration, it would be fine, but now his entire arm is covered with strange, pulsating colors, the kind of colors that look like a child's doodle. Visually, it's almost completely flat, losing all sense of real three-dimensionality.

Moreover, this flattened color scheme continued to spread throughout his entire body.

"Explain what happened," Caesar asked calmly.

Ita gestured for a guard to step forward and explain:
“I was the last person to communicate with Davin. I heard him shouting something on the walkie-talkie, like bananas, jelly, rabbits, and other inexplicable things. He was speaking very urgently. When I asked him to clarify, the call was cut off. When we arrived, we saw him using his last strength to crawl out of the woods. His body was already like this.”

"The thing you mentioned has really appeared." Ita looked at him with concern.

“Don’t worry, it will recover once we get it sorted out.” Caesar’s gaze shifted from the shimmering color on his arm to Ita: “Leave this to me, you go and do what I’ve assigned you.”

"You're all alone," Ita said with concern.

"You don't trust me?" Caesar raised an eyebrow at her.

“No, no.” Ita pursed her lips and nodded. “I understand. Be careful too.”

She led a group of family guards and took the injured Davin away.

Caesar made his move, and an invisible ripple spread out from him, enveloping the entire garden. A third-tier sealing barrier was in place. From now on, no one except him could detect the actual situation from the outside, unless a hero-level mage came along and used their spiritual sense to scan the area.

The Garden of Water is located in the most inconspicuous corner of the college, and it is overgrown with weeds and trees, so no one in the school would pay attention to such a place.

This very reason, of course, also created an opportunity for the other party to take advantage of it.

Caesar connected with the Illusionary Sea Scroll in the Realm of No Form, finally bringing it into reality.

Phew, finally I can get some fresh air.

"I'll say it again: don't try anything funny, or you'll pay a much higher price than you think," Caesar whispered to it.

Just in case, he placed a heavy restriction on the Illusionary Sea Scroll, imbued with the power of the Formless Heavenly Domain. It is currently locked in place, and no matter what happens in the future, if it tries to cause trouble, he can deal with it directly.

Fantasy Ocean Books claims that it and Fantasy Customization are like brothers, one book and one pen, so it's hard to guarantee what kind of effect their meeting will have.

Don't worry, I have your mark on me now, how could I possibly betray you?

Huanhai said in a flattering tone.

As long as we follow the plan, my cheap brother won't get away.

Caesar glanced at it.
"You better be."

He walked into the dense forest.

It was very quiet around; you couldn't even hear the chirping of insects or birds.

He stepped forward through the soft rustling of fallen leaves, the Illusionary Sea Scrolls floating in front of him as he carefully sensed the connection between himself and the Fantasy Customization.

Soon, Caesar noticed the first anomaly.

The trees not far away were completely covered with the same flat, wildly pulsating colors as before, making them look like immature graffiti from a child.

A clue has been found.

Huanhai Scroll turned around, and the cover showed...

It carried Caesar as they drifted to a thicket of bushes. Caesar parted the bushes and found four rabbits sitting around playing cards, specifically Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), with carrots piled up next to them as stakes.

"8? I can't afford it, I can't afford it!" one of the rabbits, looking old and with a cigarette dangling from its mouth, yelled. It turned its head, saw Caesar, and waved its paw dismissively.
"We don't play this game with retail investors. Go cool off somewhere else."

With a loud bang, a burst of fireball slammed into its face.

The group of rabbits hurriedly scurried away.

But before Caesar could do anything else, a huge, bright yellow banana ran out of the bushes. It had a greasy face, and half of its peel had been removed, revealing its white flesh.

As it ran, it cried out in a shrill voice, "No! They were just being polite, why did you take it so seriously? If they're taken advantage of, their innocence will be ruined!"

It ran past Caesar on its hind legs, followed by an excited pink-haired gorilla.

Watching them run away, Caesar covered his head.

"It feels like a dreamlike, chaotic experience."

Suddenly, Huanhai Wenshu bumped into him. He turned his head and was shocked to see a person standing silently in front of him.

Moreover, it was someone he knew.
It was his classmate, the younger of the twins: Serwyn Brandt.

At this moment, a rich purple light shone in her eyes, and in her hand, she held a pure white quill pen.
