In Sumeru, pretend to be a scholar

No wonder.

If I had known to label Barbatos as a producer, I would have just blamed him.

"Mentor, the awards ceremony is in two days. I'm planning to go to Nata after everything is over. Would you like to come with me?"

He glanced at the departing audience and, instead of leaving in a hurry, looked at Falushan and asked in a low voice.

“Go to Nata?” Erosan shook her head immediately. “You’re going to see Vulcan, right? I won’t go. You can take me back to Sumeru first, and then go about your business. I wonder how Arno and the others are doing with their studies after being away for so many days.”

These past few days I've been thinking about my eldest disciple, and I've completely forgotten about the younger disciples who signed up for the desert interest class.

Since Wang Yan himself felt he wouldn't win, Falushan was too lazy to stay there any longer.

After all, judging from Wang Yan's appearance, he seemed to be eager to go to Nata as well.

“Okay, then I’ll finish up my business as soon as possible and go back to Xumi to see how that art festival that Kavi organized is going.” Wang Yan nodded.

At this moment, Nico probably heard something and came over and said, "Then I'll go to Sumeru with you. I can discuss the art exhibition with Scholar Kavi."

She loves art so much.

“Okay, let’s go back together then.” Wang Yan nodded, then looked at Alice, “Ms. Alice, would you like to take Klee to Sumeru for a visit?”

Alice was somewhat tempted, but shook her head: "Although I really want to go, Barbie is already urging me, and Jean has signed Klee up for some classes, so Klee has to go back to school. If we don't get back in time... Jean will lock us up!"

The solitary confinement cell of the piano troupe leader is terrifying.

Wang Yan smiled and then turned his gaze to Serene, who was floating to the side: "Do you want to bring a Maple Leaf gift for Night God?"

Serene rolled her eyes quite obviously.

"What gift should I bring?" she scoffed. "Given her current condition, what do you think she could possibly need?"

Wang Yan thought about it and agreed.

With Yagami in his current state, he's almost lost his physical form, so anything brought in from outside is useless.

“My presence here to see her and chat with her is already the best gift,” Serene’s tone softened. “She’s been there for so long, she must be quite lonely.”

Sigh... Why did our angels turn out like this?

As he spoke, the onlookers around him got up and walked outside.

Ying and the others seem to have already left.

That's normal. They're all popular figures now, and if they stand outside for too long, they're likely to get mobbed.

Once they were away from the opera house, Alice waved goodbye.

"I'll be going now! Klee, goodbye everyone!"

Klee raised her little hand: "Goodbye, everyone!"

Alice took a small magic wand out of Klee's backpack and tapped it lightly on the ground.

A flash of pinkish-purple light appeared.

The next second, the mother and daughter disappeared from the spot.

"The witch's magic is truly amazing," Wang Yan exclaimed.

This is a teleportation spell completely different from his gravity-distorted space system.

Honestly, Wang Yan didn't understand it.

"Alright, stop being envious, let's go too," said Eros.

Wang Yan nodded and reached out to clench his fist in mid-air.

Gravity distorted, and a familiar teleportation portal appeared in the swirling blood.

"Let's go."

Erosham went in first, followed by Nicole, with Serene and Wang Yan bringing up the rear.

The next second, the fishy siren suddenly stirred the tunnel and the water was cleared. The fishy siren was already in the water.

"It's still so comfortable at home." Eros stretched, a relaxed expression on her face.

Having spent so many days in Fengdan, the food and drinks were good, but it was still a change of scenery, so I felt a little uncomfortable.

I'm back, and I feel so relaxed.

Well, although it's Wang Yan's home, it's all the same.

Wang Yan closed the portal to Feng Dan, then reached out and tapped it, opening the portal to the secret realm.

"Guardian of the Secret Source, come out."

Two teams of Secret Guards emerged from the gate, carrying two white stone golems, each taller than a person, and placed them steadily in the open space of the courtyard.

The parts that Wang Yan had previously disassembled and repaired have all been reassembled.

Two golems stood on either side of each other, their stone-carved faces looking quite imposing.

“Master,” Wang Yan pointed to the two golems, “one of these is for you, and the other is for Kavi.”

"When you run into him again, just tell him to come to your house and take it back himself."

Eros walked over, circled the golem once, and nodded: "From the art exhibition before? Not bad taste."

"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to him about it later."

"That's good."

Wang Yan nodded, then reached into his pocket and touched something.

A small box, about the size of a palm, appeared in his hand. It was made of velvet and looked very exquisite.

He handed the box to Falushan: "Oh, right, teacher, this is for you."

Erosian paused for a moment, then took it: "What is this?"

It looks familiar, but I can't quite place it right now.

"You'll see once you open it."

Eros looked at him suspiciously and lifted the lid of the box.

Inside, a pocket watch lay quietly.

The watch case is enamel, decorated with starry sky and desert patterns, and the hands are fine gold, making it look incredibly exquisite.

Erosanne's heart stirred, and she took out her pocket watch. As soon as her fingertips touched the back of the watch, she felt words on it.

She turned it over and took a look.

Sure enough, there were five small characters engraved on the back of the watch.

Shining wisdom.

Erosanne's hand paused for a moment.

She looked up at those words, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

If it were someone else, they might think it was just a gift to a very wise person.

But Erosanne knew that these five words had a different meaning for her.

Because the name Estèphe means shining wisdom.

"Does the mentor like it?" Wang Yan asked softly from the side.

Eros sniffed.

She forced back the tears welling up in her eyes, kept a straight face, and nodded.

"uh-huh."

"It's alright."

After saying that, she quickly closed the pocket watch and put the box inside her pocket.

They moved so fast it was as if they were afraid of being robbed.

Nicole craned her neck to look, but was glared at and shut up.

Serene was also curious, but after being glared at by Erosan, she wisely turned her head away.

They won't let you see it.

Nobody gets to see it.

This was a gift from my apprentice.

Seeing this, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief; he was also afraid that his mentor wouldn't like it.

In fact, the pocket watch had been sitting there for several days.

After Eros gave him the pocket watch, Wang Yan used the excuse of going to the restroom to return to the watch shop and commissioned a pocket watch that was closely related to Eros.

After all, his mentor gave him the gift, so he naturally had to reciprocate.

It seems the mentor likes it, which is good.

Chapter 386 Mavica: You want to fight me?

Wang Yan did not stay on Mount Sumeru for long.

With the pocket watch in her pocket, Erosanne took Nicole to the Church House, saying she was going to take her to find Kavi.

Once the two left, only Wang Yan and Serene, who was floating to one side, remained in the house.

“Then I’ll head back to the Secret Realm to continue my experiments. Call me when you get to Nata and go find the God of Night,” Serene said.

Wang Yan nodded, knowing that she was still very concerned about the progress of the experiment, so he let Serene enter the secret portal.

Then, Wang Yan clenched his right hand, tearing open the teleportation gate.

He didn't know the leyline nodes of Nata, so he couldn't open the door directly to Nata for the time being.

However, Sumeru and Nata are neighboring countries, so shortening the journey is very easy.

Wang Yan teleported to the edge of the desert where Sumeru and Nata meet.

Then, Wang Yan took out the jade palanquin, jumped onto it, and drove the palanquin into Nata's airspace.

The high-speed train travels through the clouds, the wind whistling past our ears.

The scenery below gradually changes from the yellowish-brown of the desert to the reddish-brown landscape of Nata.

Just as he flew over the territory of the Son of Echoes and arrived above Longjupo, Wang Yan heard someone calling his name from below.

"Hey! Up there! Scholar Wang Yan!"

Wang Yan looked down.

Two people were standing at the bottom of the slope. One of them had a blue and white ponytail and healthy wheat-colored skin. He was waving and shouting at him.

Who else could it be but Marani?

Wang Yan immediately smiled and controlled the jade chariot to slowly descend, finally landing steadily on the open ground by the slope.

He jumped down from the carriage and waved to Marani: "Long time no see, Marani."

"Long time no see, Scholar Wang Yan!" Marani waved enthusiastically. "I just looked up and saw the Jade Carriage flying over from the sky, so I quickly called out to you."

As she spoke, she reached out and pulled over another girl standing next to her, introducing her with a grin: "Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Kazina, my good friend."

The girl was dressed in the clothes of the Echo Child, with brown hair tied in two small braids and healthy wheat-colored skin. She was much shorter than Marani and looked a little shy. When Marani pushed her, she subconsciously shrank back.

“Kazina, this is Scholar Wang Yan, and also my friend,” Marani introduced.

Kazina looked up and said softly, "Hello, Scholar Wang Yan, I often hear Marani mention you."

"Hello." Wang Yan smiled and nodded at her. "I often hear her mention me? Has she said anything bad about me?"

“No way!” Marani retorted immediately. “I was only saying nice things about you!”

“Yes, Marani said she had a fantastic adventure in Nordkal, and Wang Yan was a wonderful companion on that adventure,” Katzina said.

"Haha, Marani is also very capable; she was a great help back then."

"If you praise me, I will naturally praise you in return," Wang Yan said with a smile, praising Marani.

As they spoke, all three of them laughed.
