Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 227 Addicted to Role-Playing
Xia stood a little further away from him and was soon drawn to another plant.

Caesar abandoned the idea of ​​asking and turned to wander around on his own.

Just as he was admiring a pure white, trumpet-shaped flower, suddenly everything went black. Someone covered his eyes from behind, and a laughing voice came from behind:
"Guess who I am?"

“Itah, stop fooling around,” Caesar said.

"It wouldn't be fun if you could guess it so quickly."

Ita looked away from his eyes with slight disappointment and took a step back.

“It’s a failure that even you can’t tell me apart,” Caesar said.

Even without using his perception, Ita's familiar body scent was impossible to hide.

Caesar turned his head and found that Xiaolong was wearing a large white lab coat, experimental goggles, and his long black hair was tied into a neat high ponytail. He was also wearing a sun hat.

She even had a temporary staff pass pinned to her chest, though it's unclear how she got it.

"Why are you dressed like that?" Caesar asked, puzzled.

"Let me experience the working environment of the Ecological Institute," Ita said, gesturing with her arm completely covered by a large sleeve.

"Whose clothes did you take? Give them back right now!"

The sleeves of the white coat were much longer than Ita's arms, with the extra length hanging loosely outside, making him look like a child wearing adult clothes for fun.

However, it seems there's nothing wrong with describing it this way.
"Don't worry, Caesar, I borrowed this dress from that researcher over there named Zhu Liang, and I'll return it to her later."

Ita waved his sleeve, which had grown much longer than usual, and said.

"So what are you trying to do?" Caesar asked, looking at her.

“Accompany you on your tour, Caesar,” Itta said, hands on her hips.
“You said before that we shouldn’t reveal our relationship, but today is such a good opportunity, it would be too boring for me to pretend that Caesar and I don’t know each other and go our separate ways.”

"So by dressing like this, I can accompany you as a staff member of the Ecological Institute. If anyone asks, I can just say I'm a friend I met at the Ecological Institute. Anyway, Caesar, you're always coming here,"

"Do you think our classmates are all idiots? Just change your clothes, change your hairstyle, and wear glasses and they won't recognize you?" Caesar said, covering his head in exasperation.

“That’s hard to say,” Ita said.

"Are you addicted to role-playing... playing both teacher and researcher at the same time?"

Just then, Tess came running over, looking very anxious: "Caesar! I just asked around, and someone said Professor Muirner won't be coming today because he doesn't have time? Is that true? All the preparations I've done these past few days have been for nothing?"

"No, where did you hear that? Professor Muirner will only appear at the very end. Just be patient," Caesar said.

"That scared me to death. Why are all the staff here so grumpy? They looked so impatient just from asking me a question," Tess muttered. Soon, she noticed Ita, who was wearing a white coat next to Caesar.

"Who is this"

Do you recognize me?

Caesar was about to speak when Itha interrupted him. She straightened her posture seriously, put one hand behind her back, coughed, and said in a low voice:

"Hello, student, I'm Tata, a researcher at the Institute of Ecology, and I'm in charge of your visit today. If you have any questions, just ask me."

"Oh, oh, I see. Hello, Professor Tataka," Tess greeted him hastily.

Caesar almost couldn't help but laugh. He hadn't expected that such a simple disguise would actually keep him from being recognized.
"Also, because we are engaged in tedious academic research for a long time, we are under a lot of emotional pressure. Please forgive us if there are any areas where we have not been able to take care of things properly," Ita said with a faint smile.

She even offered explanations on behalf of the researchers there.
“No, that’s not what I meant,” Tess said awkwardly.

"By the way, do you know Caesar?" she quickly changed the subject. "Of course, Caesar is diligent and studious, and he often comes here to help out. We're very good friends."

Ita moved closer to Caesar as she spoke.
"Wow, Caesar, you!"

Tess was surprised that Caesar was so popular, knowing so many people in the Ecology Institute, and that he was such a young and beautiful girl.

"Ahem, I'd like to go see if the yellow basket fruit trees over there have blossomed yet. Professor Little Tower, would you like to come with me?" Caesar immediately changed the subject.

“Okay, see you later,” Ita said goodbye to Tiss and left with Caesar.

"Hey you, can you stop doing things so unexpectedly? At least tell me beforehand!"

When no one was around, Caesar said to Ita with a sigh.

“I just wanted to surprise you, Caesar. Wouldn’t it be less fun if I told you beforehand? I even made sure to schedule my time differently from you guys this morning so I wouldn’t run into you beforehand,” Ita said.

“You’ve used all your ideas on your brother,” Caesar said.

“Alright, this is a rare opportunity, Caesar, will you come with me for a walk?” Ita said, pulling on his arm.

"You can ask me anything you don't understand. I'm a biology expert, after all," she said proudly.

Caesar glanced at the little dragon with her chin raised, and only then did he remember that Ita, as a dragon, had some knowledge of all sorts of strange things, and perhaps she had an impression of that pure white seed.

"Well, there is something I actually want to ask you."

Caesar took out a small aluminum storage box from his pocket and took out the pure white seed from it.

"Do you recognize this?" he asked.

Ita took it curiously, held it between his two fingers and examined it, but soon frowned.

"Caesar, where did you get this?"

Caesar compressed his voice and communicated with Ita through magical transmission.

“It was an item His Majesty obtained from that tomb, and he entrusted me to find its origin and purpose.”

"That's it"

"So? Do you know him?" he asked.

Ita shook his head, then nodded.

"How should I put it? Its scent has a very similar feel to mine, as if this seed reminds me of something else, something related, but the impression isn't deep," she said.

"Think about it carefully?"

Ita tilted his head, gazing at the lush green foliage above, and after a long while shook his head violently, saying dejectedly, "Sorry, Caesar, I probably can't be of much help with this."

"It's nothing." Caesar didn't have high expectations. Ita remembered this, so having this news was still a gain.

“I plan to ask Professor Muirner later; she should know where this came from,” Caesar said.

Upon hearing Muirna's name, Ita immediately pouted slightly.

Caesar glanced at her and pinched her cheek.

"It's just an academic exchange, okay?"

"Hmm, I didn't say anything else," Ita muttered softly.
