For example, Tesla and Edison, Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty, etc., were all unusually refrained from deliberately causing trouble this time, showing a strong desire to survive.

"In that case, I shall personally make a trip to the Halloween Queen's community later. Anyone wish to accompany me?"

Gilgamesh was not particularly surprised by the outcome, and several people immediately raised their hands as he asked his question.

It was Scáthach, Demiurge, and Nessalian in their Dragon Girl forms.

"Then let the rest of you do your jobs. It's best if I don't catch any lazy scoundrels."

Gilgamesh glared at Merry, who seemed to be dozing off, and then looked at the handsome man with long black hair sitting next to the girl, dressed in a long red robe.

This is one of the few people in the entire Type-Moon community whom Gilgamesh can feel at ease with and rely on.

If he hadn't arrived with a new group just a couple of days ago, the plan to find the Old Man of the Mountain would probably have been postponed indefinitely.

"Kongming, I'll leave the matter to you to handle and make decisions. I'm confident you won't let me down."

Upon hearing this, El-Melloi II took out a cigarette from his cigarette case, put it in his mouth, slowly lit it, took a puff, and revealed a confident smile.

"Leave it to me with confidence, King of Heroes. It's time to show you the terrifying power of the Grand Strategist in handling domestic affairs."

Chapter 138 Searching for the Assassin Mountain Elder

Halloween Queen Lia is a deified being based on the festival concept. She is the center of the Celtic pantheon, and her true form is a star spirit born from the sun within the realm of life and death.

As one of the few beings in the Little Garden who can exert combat power comparable to those in the two-digit range while only possessing a three-digit level of skill, she naturally forms a powerful force around her that cannot be ignored by others.

That is, the community [QueenHalloween].

The community led by the Halloween Queen is one of the most powerful forces in the western district of the four-digit outer gate of the Little Garden, and it is likely that they will soon be promoted to the even higher three-digit outer gate.

For a time, the 'QueenHalloween' was riding high, and the entire community was constantly busy.

Even amidst her busy schedule, the Halloween Queen still managed to spare ample time to entertain Gilgamesh and other Heroic Spirits who had come from the Eastern District, showing no disdain for them simply because they were from a newly established community.

While the defeat against the Mountain Elder some time ago was certainly one reason, the rapid rise and development of the Type-Moon community in recent times also made its existence undeniable in any region of the four-digit outer sect.

Moreover, the 'Hakoniwa Knights' community, which also has four-digit outer sects, recently announced that it would form an alliance with the newly formed Type-Moon community to jointly promote friendly cooperation and development, and contribute to maintaining the peace of Hakoniwa City.

Therefore, Queen Halloween would not refuse Gilgamesh's invitation to visit and hold talks, both out of courtesy and reason.

In this still turbulent world of the miniature garden, having several good friends who can help each other is always better than having an enemy who is always plotting against you.

Because Scáthach had been coming to challenge them all the time, members of the two communities, despite not having had large-scale contact or meetings, had some understanding of each other.

Inside the magnificent reception room, Halloween Queen Lia sat upright in the main seat, while opposite her stood Gilgamesh, dressed in Uruk-style attire.

Dressed in a butler's uniform, Scáthach approached the conference table with a tray containing an exquisite tea set. After placing the black tea and pastries on the table, she quietly retreated behind Lia.

When Scáthach from Type-Moon met her old friend, she gave him a fierce smile, which was met with a slight nod from Scáthach in the Little Garden.

Their eyes met briefly before they looked away, both knowing that this was not the time to vent their fighting spirit.

Demiurge stood quietly beside Nessalian, while the dragon girl remained with her back against the wall of the reception room, idly staring blankly.

Because she really had no interest in negotiations; perhaps she would have put some thought into it when she was the Black Dragon King.

But after becoming Deathwing, Nessalian's methods of handling things became increasingly simple and brutal.

"I already understand your purpose. It was indeed my fault back then. I wanted to play a harmless joke with Lord Mountain Elder, which led to the current situation."

After listening to Gilgamesh's statement, Queen Lia of Halloween replied, slightly easing the somewhat heavy and tense atmosphere in her words.

Then, the young woman gracefully sipped her black tea, a hint of regret in her crimson eyes, and continued to explain:

"But I just opened the portal casually back then, and I don't know which world it connected to."

"Therefore, without accurate location, it would be difficult for me to open the realm gate to the same destination again."

Gilgamesh, who had long anticipated that things wouldn't be resolved so easily, frowned and turned his head to look at Nessalian, who was playing with her hair.

"Deathwing, you're the only one here who still maintains contact with the Old Man of the Mountain, aren't you? Can you sense anything useful?"

Upon hearing this, Nessalian resumed her serious and composed demeanor, and gave her answer without much hesitation or pause.

"If it's within the same world, that's fine, but forget about it once you cross worlds. Unless Arthas actively summons me to appear, I can't go to his side through a contract."

As they were talking, Nessalian suddenly stopped in her tracks, her eyes gleaming with golden light, and a fleeting dragon's might swept across the entire 'QueenHalloween' community.

As the alarmed Community Knights burst through the door wielding longswords and spears, a black and red phantom detached from Nessalian and vanished into the Little Garden world.

Demiurge immediately stepped in front of Nessalian, blocking the Community Knights from entering in single file.

Although Demiurge is not the strongest in terms of strength, and he is not particularly good at fighting, his body is tense at this moment, ready to unleash his transformation at any time.

In order to prevent the situation from getting worse and more chaotic, Demiurge's attacks were only meant to temporarily repel his opponent, without using excessive force.

Queen Lia of Halloween glanced coldly at the knights who rushed in. Although she knew their actions were out of loyalty, she felt they were far too rude and inconsiderate.

"What are you all doing here? Have you finished your own tasks? Get out of here!!"

Faced with their queen's reprimand, the knights hesitated in the reception room, glancing at Nessalian, whose condition was clearly abnormal, unable to make a choice.

The Halloween Queen naturally understood her subordinates' thoughts, but Leah still insisted on dismissing the knights, saying there was no need for them to remain as guards.

“My safety is not something you need to worry about for the time being. This is the community ‘QueenHalloween’.”

“I know that the sudden appearance of the pure-blooded dragon’s aura caught everyone off guard, but that is no excuse for your panic.”

"Get out of here, all of you. Don't continue to embarrass yourselves in front of our distinguished guests, my loyal knights."

After the knights left the reception room one after another, the previously vanished dragon phantom returned and merged into Nessalian's body, and the strange phenomena on the dragon girl also disappeared.

"I never expected that someone would suddenly summon me to join the battle, and because of the rules, only a projection of the main body can appear."

Nessalian quickly browsed through the memories of her clone, and before Lia and Gilgamesh could ask any questions, she spoke up about what they wanted to know.

"The one who summoned me is not the old man of the mountain. That's not entirely accurate, but it doesn't really matter."

"Because just as I crossed the barrier between the worlds, I did vaguely sense my partner's approximate location, which is quite a coincidence."

Upon hearing Nessalian's words, Halloween Queen Lia first raised her hand and summoned a complex and intricate 3D projection of a star chart.

This is the world location distribution map that the sandbox has observed so far. The development of the worlds existing on the star map will be affected by the sandbox, and at the same time, it will also affect the stability of the sandbox.

"Let's talk about it in detail first, and see if I can find a specific position based on this."

Following Nessalian's instructions, Lia's slender fingers slid across the star chart, finally settling on a specific area.

"Could you be more specific? In this current region, there are approximately three worlds."

"No, it's no use. After all, it's just a fleeting sensation from a clone projection. We're already lucky to have been able to get this level of detail."

Nessalian shook her head decisively; there was no need to waste time on such a question.

If she can do it, she can do it; if she can't, she can't. Deathwing's pride wouldn't allow her to do anything she didn't know or pretend to know.

"Is that so? But it's not too troublesome, there's still a way to solve it."

As Lia muttered to herself, she tapped the star chart to pinpoint the exact locations of the three worlds, then turned her gaze back to Gilgamesh.

"I can open the gates connecting these three worlds, but the specific matter of going to find Lord Mountain Elder will have to be handled by Type-Moon. Is that alright?"

Gilgamesh, who was originally wondering what in his treasure trove could be of use, naturally did not refuse the suggestion from Halloween Queen Lia.

"Of course you can, but there are quite a few rules and requirements for descending from the Little Garden to another world, right? It seems that the people here don't quite meet the requirements."

“Indeed, it seems that Your Excellency Hero King will need to go back and gather your men first. I will then offer some assistance.”

Lia smiled slightly, clapping her hands together twice. In the blink of an eye, everyone who was originally in the reception room appeared in the main hall of the Type-Moon community.

"If you want the arrival of the newcomers to be less constrained, find some people who are more suitable for the current era of the world. That way, it will be easier for the world consciousness to accept them."

Queen Lia of Halloween spoke up again, offering Gilgamesh information about the relevant world.

Gilgamesh was naturally happy to accept the goodwill expressed by Lia and was willing to continue to maintain a relatively good relationship with the community 'QueenHalloween'.

As for Lia's suggestion, Gilgamesh said that in this community of Heroic Spirits that brings together people from different eras and regions, it was simply not a problem at all.

"There are three worlds in total. In order to ensure the efficiency of the mission and prevent some guys from slacking off halfway, it is better to set off in pairs."

“Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Tamamo-no-Mae, Oda Nobunaga and Okita Souji, and Abe no Seimei and Ashiya Dōman, these three pairs will do.”

Knowing the nature of the heroic spirits within the community, Gilgamesh considered this, and quickly assembled a suitable group of people to be sent, and asked Kongming to find them.

"There shouldn't be any problem with the three groups heading to the so-called Eastern World, Oda Nobuna's World of Ambition, and Nurarihyon no Mago's World respectively."

"But what kind of bastard names are these? The first one is at least somewhat decent, but the last two... can they even be considered world names? It's been a long time since I've felt this way, hahahahahahaha—"

Chapter 139 The Strongest Mysterious Assassin

Heian Jing.

The tragedies that actually happened some time ago have been completely forgotten after history was altered and replaced. It's even impossible for anyone to have a nightmare about them from the subconscious.

And it is precisely because of this that Heian-kyo, once bustling and prosperous, continues to shine with its civilization day after day, smoothly and normally carrying on this small tributary of human history.

In short, Heian-kyo remains as peaceful as ever.

Emperor Monmu, who thought he had successfully won the heart of the beauty, was somewhat depressed and dejected after all his efforts were in vain.

After delegating most of the government affairs to Fujiwara no Fuhito, he spent his days drowning his sorrows in alcohol and composing poems, hoping to alleviate the pain of his unrequited love.

As for Fujiwara no Hitoe's life, it was a bittersweet experience, leaving one unsure whether to be happy or worried.

First of all, getting promoted is definitely a good thing. Secondly, the Emperor's trust and reassurance in delegating power is also a happy thing. Furthermore, his wife's recovery from a serious illness and her health improving day by day is an even greater good thing.

However, the increasingly heavy burden of court affairs kept Fujiwara no Hitoshi extremely busy, working late into the night every day, which led to his hair loss seeming to have worsened recently.

What he found most difficult to decide was whether he should devote himself wholeheartedly to his work for the country and its people, or take enough time to be a good husband and father.

As the saying goes, loyalty to the country and filial piety are difficult to reconcile since ancient times.

This statement does have its merits, it just needs to be phrased differently, and it is quite apt to describe Fujiwara no Hiroshi's current dilemma.

Finally, after days of deep thought and intense internal struggle, Fujiwara no Fuhito made his decision: "I want them all!!"

Fujiwara no Fuhito, who originally preferred to handle work matters personally, began to delegate and assign tasks, entrusting all matters to subordinate officials in corresponding positions for full responsibility.

He himself was only responsible for keeping the overall situation under control. If anything went wrong, he would remove the responsible officials and investigate them. This made the efficiency of the court in handling affairs much higher.

Having discussed matters of the court, it's time to talk about things among the common people.

If there's anything that could spark discussion among the common people, it would be the newly opened Youzhu Medical Clinic on the main street of the city.
